Sleep Solutions Gear For Your Black Friday Sale Stalking
Black Friday is coming - which means that a lot of gear for your registry, or for your baby sleep needs, is about to go on major sale! Here are a few of our favorite things (cue Julie Andrews dancing in some curtains) to keep a look out for this Friday at some of our favorite retailers - Nordstrom, Amazon, and Buy Buy Baby!
Baby Shusher : The Sleep Miracle
From Amazon: “Real human recording of someone shushing gives you a break from shushing your baby for long periods of time.
15 to 30 minute timer promotes long shushing sessions while getting difficult children to sleep.
Adjustable volume promotes quiet use during the night without keeping everyone awake while soothing baby.
Included wrist strap allows you to strap it to your arm while carrying your baby when putting them to sleep.
2 AA batteries are included so you can use your baby shusher as soon as you get it.”
From Parents: “This thing is amazing. Found out about it from out newborn photographer and ordered one before we left her studio. We use it for naps, when she's fussy out and about, in the car, at night... Almost every situation we've used it. She's four months old and it's still a must have in the diaper bag. My only complaint, more of a wish maybe, is that it had a continuous mode, rather than a 30 minute shut off. I'd pay good money for one that didn't stop abruptly. I've gotten remarkably good at reseting it right before the 30 minute mark, but night time would be better if it would just keep going.”
Halo Sleep Sack MicroFleece
From Amazon: “Unzips from the bottom for easy diaper changes. Generous sack design allows room for kicking, but cannot be kicked off so baby stays warm all night. Sleeveless design reduces the risk of overheating.
#1 Choice of hospitals. Used by hospitals nationwide for safe sleep education.
Recognized as "Hip Healthy" by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute.”
From Parents: “These sleep sacks are functional, safe, soft, warm, and attractive. I really loved the pattern on this--unique and pretty, but not your typical "girl" pattern. Turn them inside out and zip them up before washing, and they will stay lovely for you. They also don't stain, being fleece. Even if they are too big for your kid (as long as they aren't WAY too big), you can use them. They are worth the money, because they can be used for so long--unless maybe you are buying them at the tail end of the cold season. We had our baby in the 0-6 sleep sack from after we stopped using swaddle sacks (after two or three months) until she was six months old, and then we moved up to the next size. These are also really helpful for containing diaper leaks overnight; our daughter sleeps long nights and would have had a messy or wet crib fairly often, without wearing these fleece sleep sacks. You can unzip the sleep sack part way, check for leaks, and then start the changing without opening the sleep sack completely, if it's really messy. This will help keep the baby's hands away from the mess.”

· PERFECT BABY GIFT – Our 4 pack swaddle blankets are ideal gifts for baby showers, birthdays and holidays”
From Parents: “Obsessed with these blankets. I watch for a good price on Amazon and buy them for every baby shower I go to because they are that awesome. They truly do get softer with each wash, so keep that in mind if you aren’t a fan of the texture right away. (The silky soft bamboo blankets from this brand are even softer!) My son likes to hug this blanket near his cheek when he sleeps and I don’t worry because they are so breathable and light. He is still sleeping with them as a toddler and gets upset if he doesn’t have one to snuggle with at night. We love these blankets!“
Nose Frida Nasal Aspirator
From Amazon: “PEDIATRICIAN ENDORSED BABY NASAL ASPIRATOR - Doctor invented nasal aspirator that uses parents’ own suction to safely and effectively clear stuffy noses.
HYGIENIC - Disposable filters are clinically proven to prevent the transfer of mucus or bacterial germs to the snot sucker when clearing stuffy noses.
COMFORTABLE & NON-INVASIVE - NoseFrida creates a seal with the outside of the baby’s nostril for seamless gentle snotsucking.
DISHWASHER SAFE - The nasal tip, red mouthpiece, and filter cap are top-rack dishwasher safe allowing for the baby aspirator to be easily sterilized.
MADE IN SWEDEN and is BPA & Phthalate free.”
From Parents: “I know what you're thinking. I know EXACTLY what you're thinking. I thought the same thing when my husband told me about this "awesome thing he saw somewhere" that allows you to suck the snot out of your baby's nose with your mouth. Ummm, excuse me? No. Well, it finally happened: my husband was right, and I was wrong.
1 or 2 little "baby colds" later, half a dozen restless if not completely sleepless nights later, I sent him out to purchase this miracle tube. And miracle it is, my friends.
First of all, it's not as disgusting as I first thought. It's not like siphoning gas - the snot isn't going to fly up into your mouth. Check out the picture. The snot is collected into a tube at the baby's nose, and then you blow it back out into a nearby tissue or wipe. And unlike the infamous "bulb syringe", this works.”
Crane Air “Droplet” Humidifier
From Amazon: “1 GALLON TANK: Removable 1 gallon tank fits under most bathroom sinks for easy filling and runs whisper quiet up to 24 hours
CLEAN CONTROL: Anti-microbial material reduces mold and bacteria growth by up to 99.96%
SOOTHING RELIEF: Ultrasonic Cool Mist effectively humidifies up to 500 square feet for easier breathing and a good night’s sleep
NO FILTER REQUIRED: This humidifier does not require a filter, but for homes with hard water, demineralization filters can be purchased and used with this unit
AUTO SHUT-OFF SENSOR: Humidifier automatically shuts off when the water level is low”
From Parents: “Overall this is a good humidifier, but for most people its water capacity will prove to be too small.
This Crane humidifier has a small footprint, which is nice if you want to place it out of the way. Aesthetically it is moderately appealing, with a streamlined look. It assembles and comes apart easily. Filling the reservoir and cleaning it proved fairly straightforward and I have no complaints there. I really like the way mist is put into the air from this device, as you can hold your hand over the opening and actually feel the moisture coming out of it into the air; it gives you a tangible belief that the device is working.”
