Oh baby! Keeping your little one safe, sound, secure, and sated is a full-time job. These items can help.

goat tales: super smoothers

Saying a newborn's skin is sensitive is like saying water is wet. Canus Li'l Goat's Milk collection was designed specifically to cleanse, hydrate, and protect tender young skin. The line's eponymous ingredient - goat's milk - has a unique protein structure that allows skin to easily absorb its natural emollients, making it a standout in the soothing and moisturizing departments. Free of dyes, alcohol, and harsh chemicals and cleansers, the Li'l Goat's Milk line includes wipes, zinc ointment, bar soap, body butter, lotion, and a truly tearless shampoo. The best part? This boutique-quality stuff is as affordable as it is fabulous, so stockpiling it won't break the bank.

From $2.49 at canusgoatsmilk.com.




on their toes

Trying to keep a simple pair of socks on those teeny feet can be maddening. Skip the hassle altogether and slip on a pair of Pedipeds infant shoes instead. Soft leather soles (recommended by pediatricians) allow toes to flex and grasp and encourage feet to grow properly. Hand-stitched, breathable, and butter-soft, Pedipeds come in a variety of fun, hip styles including ruby red brocade Mary Janes and chocolate brown tasseled loafers.

$29 at pedipeds.com




crib notes: chic sheets

Today's baby bedding is a far cry from its bear- and duckieprinted past. For sophisticated tastes, Dwellbaby is the way to go. Elegant, clean designs in a retro palette give the entire Dwellbaby line a hip, modern feel. The spring collection features four fresh color combinations (mustard and pink, for example) in fabulous patterns you won't see anywhere else. Crib sets include fitted sheet, bed skirt, bumper, and blanket.

Sets $320 to $340 (matching bibs, stroller blankets, and hooded robes sold separately) at dwellshop.com




totally cool

Don't let a heat wave put the kibosh on your next outing. Carry your little one in cool comfort with BabyBjörn's Baby Carrier Air. The mesh design provides sturdy support while allowing both heat and moisture to escape. A padded, adjustable head support keeps even the tiniest tots safe and snug. When not in use, the machine-washable carrier can be stashed in the attached pint-sized pouch. For newborns up to 26 pounds.

$99.95 at babybjorn.com
