growing concerns
Delicate, expecting senses can
make pregnancy skin tough to
treat. Conceived in London by
three skincare-savvy friends,
Mama Mio is the answer. The line
pampers every overtaxed inch
with essential oils chosen for their
positive effects on the pregnant
mind and body. Darling containers
with clever tag lines ("You can
never be too rich" body cream
and "Aim north not south" bustenhancing
moisture mask) create
a vanity display that's pretty and
witty.
$18 to $35 at mamamio.com.

grab(this) bag
In the past, diaper bags were
like minivans: not inherently attractive, but part of the
parenting territory nonetheless. Fleurville nixes the boringbaby-
bag theory, mixing gorgeous (stain-repellent!) prints,
hip hues, and trendy shapes to create functional sacks
that are accessories as much as they are necessities. The
tri-mode Sling Tote holds all the essentials and can be
worn over the shoulder, messenger-style, or attached to
your stroller (handy o-rings included). For quick outings,
the Escape Pod holds a handful of diapers and wipes as
well as your cell phone, lip gloss, and a small toy or two.
(After baby abandons diapers, the bag doubles as a clutch
or toiletry kit.)
Tote $130; pod $52;

a real gem
When you're breastfeeding, keeping track of feedings is crucial -
not to mention tricky. (Keeping tabs on a nursing log isn't much easier.) The Nursing
Bracelet™ is a handy, stylish solution. Numbered and colored beads are arranged to
represent a 12-hour clock that lets you stay on top of your schedule. Simply snap on
the "feeding charm" (included) to mark the time baby's last feeding began. Switch the
bracelet from wrist to wrist (the spiral design makes one-hand operation a snap) and
you'll always know which side you fed from last.
$29.95 at uniquemums.com.
