Read our latest picks for baby!

good news for the water-wary

When swimming with your baby feels this secure, life's a beach.

That deliciously soft newborn skin should come with a warning label that reads "Slippery when wet." If you'd like to take your little one into the shower, pool, or ocean, strap on the AmazingBaby Water Carrier and leave your worries behind. Designed like an infant carrier and made of quick-drying neoprene, the AmazingBaby lets you "wear" your baby right into the water. With this carrier, your swimmer-to-be can even join you in that water aerobics class you've wanted to try. Infants (8 pounds and up) face the wearer and must use the headrest (sold separately) until they develop neck control. Babies up to 32 pounds who can hold their heads up can face outward, leaving mom's hands free to play with an older toddler. A must for water-loving families.

$59.99 (plus $10.99 for the headrest); amazingbaby.com.




skin savers for baby

Layers of loving protection keep baby's skin its healthy best.

We tote blankets everywhere we go because we know our precious little bundles need an extra layer of protection. But sometimes we forget that applies to skin care, too. Because baby's skin doesn't fully mature until she's two or three, it's important to shield her from the elements. Mustela's Take Out Baby Essentials Set covers her from cheek to cheek. Stocked with Environmental Protection Cream to moisturize and protect face and body, Facial Cleansing Cloths for removing grime without drying, and Baby Vitamin Barrier Cream to prevent and soothe diaper rash, the darling "take-out" carton also contains a super-soft scarf and mitten set to keep baby toasty when the temperature drops. In keeping with the to-go theme, the thoughtful creators tossed a tasty fortune cookie in there for mom.
