get in the swing

Nothing soothes a fussy baby (or delights a happy one) like a gentle swing ride.

Rhythmic motion to babies is like a brick of Godiva's best to a chocoholic: instant bliss. The Ocean Wonders Aquarium Cradle Swing from Fisher Price features two soothing motions (front to back and side to side), so you can experiment to find the pattern your particular bundle loves best. A motorized mobile and water globe mesmerize even the fussiest of babies, along with your choice of three soothing sounds (babbling brook, ocean waves or light rain) or six New-Agey tunes. Infant head support and a reclining seat make the Cradle Swing great for little lovelies. (The seat pad is also conveniently machine washable, so accidents are no big deal.)

$99.99, 800-432-KIDS; fisher-price.com.

Simplify bathing with this multitasking, baby wash.

Besides baby and water, when it comes to bath time, Gerber Baby Wash for hair and body may be all you need. The tear-free, hypoallergenic formula can be used from head to toe, immediately eliminating the need for yet another bottle in the bathing area. Available in Baby Berry and Camomile & Lavender, both contain a blend of vitamins and natural ingredients that nurture and protect baby's delicate skin without drying it out. Calming Camomile & Lavender makes the perfect pre-bed prescription. Best of all, the easy-grip bottle won't get away from you (if only baby came with that feature!). And did you catch that tear-free part? Priceless.

$2.79, available at retailers nationwide and Babies R Us, or for information, call 800-4-GERBER; gerber.com
