FlutterBug Musical Mobile

Why was this mobile chosen as part of Fall's cool baby stuff? One reason: portability. You can take and attach this mobile to almost anything. This simple design will catch your baby's attention, but is simple enough to attach to a changing table or carry off to Grandma's with the playpen.

The rotating and colorful wings rotate around, flashing color on one side and a black-and-white pattern on the other. These patterns are ideal stimulants for a newborn's developing eyesight. The soothing music and gently-swaying tassels calm down even the most stubborn of wiggleworms.

ReliaDose

This device popped out immediately as something that should be on the list of cool baby stuff. Getting your infant to take medicine is exhausting and frustrating (to you both). Get ready for cold and flu season with this amazing and unique baby invention.

Fill the bottle part with your baby's favorite drink, and the plunger with the required medicine dosage. While he's happily sucking away, release the plunger and the medicine is dispensed into his happily-sucking mouth. No screaming, no spit-outs, no fights. By the time he realizes he's been duped, it will be settling down into his stomach, ready to get to work. (How cool is that!)

I've tried to mix the medicine into a bottle, but since Elena almost always leaves a little in the bottle, I'm left wondering if she got the full dose. This ingenious little tool eliminates that concern.

Squirt Baby Food Dispensing Spoon

Another finalist for "Cool Baby Stuff for Fall, 2008" is this handy food-dispensing spoon. Imagine - no more bowls getting knocked out of your hands onto the floor. No more dirty dishes crowding up the diaper bag. I am super excited about this pick. It's even dishwasher safe!

You put the food in the handle, and squeeze to push out the perfect amount onto the spoon. I'm amazed this product hasn't come out sooner, it's so easy. Having more than one child, it's wonderful to be able to feed your infant with only one hand. It holds enough food for one feeding, so you can put on the secure cap and throw it into the diaper bag for easy (mess-free) feeding anywhere.

Gogo Kidz Travelmate

If you're going to be flying for Thanksgiving or Christmas this year, this travelmate may be your salvation. Since you will already be lugging the car seat onto the plane with you, why not turn it into a stroller?

The Travelmate lets you wheel the car seat (with your infant strapped in) around the chaotic airport. You can concentrate on getting to the right gate, and avoid having to stress about keeping the family, the luggage, and the car seat all together. Despite evolution, we still only have two hands. This great tool helps free one of them up.

Baby's 1st Toothbrush 2-Pack

Invented by a dentist, these amazing toothbrushs are curved gently to easily fit around sore gums. The smart design helps your budding-independent infant/toddler brush his own teeth effectively. A good lesson to learn early on.

The sensation of chewing on the soft bristles will bring sweet relief to aching gums. Add a little fluoride-free toothpaste (Elena likes bubble-gum flavor) to make brushing even more exciting!
