Gifts for a Restful First Christmas
Sleep with a new baby is always a challenge with the excitement of the holiday season and disruption of routines making it even more difficult. With these helpful gifts to improve the little one’s sleep, the whole family can enjoy the festive season with better rest and more energy to make precious memories for the baby’s 1 st Christmas.
1. Rockit Zed – Sleep Soother & Night Light
Many parents can relate to the struggle of soothing a baby who just won’t settle down for the night. This is especially true during the holiday season, which can bring new environments, travel and disrupted routines, making it tricky for babies to adjust. New parents may find themselves resorting to car drives to soothe their little one, sacrificing their own precious sleep, or time with loved ones.
The Rockit Zed is designed to mimic the soothing vibrations of a car ride, which often lulls the baby to sleep. This portable device can be placed at the foot of the baby’s mattress, where it releases gentle vibrations to lull the baby into a deep sleep. With six different vibration settings, parents can adjust it to find the perfect comfort level for their baby. It also features a calming red night light, perfect for night-time feeds without overstimulating their little one. Rockit Zed is a practical gift that helps create a calming sleep environment, no matter where the family is celebrating Christmas.
Give the gift of convenience and save parents from those late-night car drives, with this simple, yet effective solution to combat bedtime challenges, allowing a more restful holiday season with more energy to create special moments with the little one.
2. Love To Dream Stage 1 Swaddle Up™ Designer Original
While settling down the baby is one challenge, keeping them asleep throughout the night is often a bigger challenge. With the extra noise, gatherings and disruptions in the holiday season, it can be even harder for little ones to stay settled, leading to restless nights for both baby and parents.
The Love To Dream Stage 1 Swaddle Up™ Designer Original is designed to help babies feel more secure and comfortable while they sleep. Its unique ARMS UP™ design allows babies to self-soothe by sucking on their hands or rubbing on their cheeks, while also containing the Startle Reflex which can otherwise wake the sleeping baby. Studies* have shown that using the Swaddle Up™ can nearly double a baby’s sleep time – from 3 hours 35 minutes to 7 hours 25 minutes – making it a great gift for sleep-deprived parents.
Better sleep for the little one means better sleep for everyone, allowing new parents to wake up refreshed and ready to create lasting memories. This year, give the 1 st Christmas gift of longer, more restful sleep.
*Results from 2017 survey of 1,242 Love To Dream TM customers. Based on average baby sleep time before and after using Swaddle Up TM .
Gifts that Lend a Helping Hand
The holiday season is busy enough without the extra stress of caring for a baby. With these thoughtful gifts, which offer support and ease the workload, new parents can focus more on enjoying the holiday season with their little one.
3. Izmi Essential Wrap
Keeping the little one close while juggling holiday preparations can be challenging for new parents. The holidays often bring busy schedules, whether it involves decorating, cooking or spending time with loved ones, and this can be tricky when new parents are constantly picking up and putting down their little one.
The Izmi Essential Wrap offers the perfect solution, allowing parents to carry their baby comfortably, while keeping their hands free for other holiday-related activities. Designed to fit all sizes, the wrap distributes the baby’s weight evenly to reduce pressure on the back and shoulders, making it comfortable for extended wear. It supports two carrying positions – parent facing front carry and side carry – with a snug, secure fit to keep the baby close, providing reassurance in unfamiliar environments.
Give the gift of hands-free freedom this Christmas, allowing new parents to enjoy festive activities while keeping Baby close and feeling secure.
4. Rockit Rocker – Portable Baby Rocker
Keeping a baby settled while out and about can be a challenge, especially when their pushchair stops moving. Babies quickly get used to the constant, soothing motion of a moving pushchair which can be difficult to manage when running holiday errands.
The Rockit Rocker offers the perfect solution for parents on the move. This portable, rechargeable device can be attached to any pushchair, providing a consistent rocking motion that helps soothe the little one. It is a simple yet effective way to keep the baby soundly sleeping, even when parents are pausing to enjoy a cup of coffee or managing the Christmas shopping supermarket checkout.
Give the gift of on-the-go snoozing this holiday season, allowing parents to fully immerse themselves in the festivities, knowing their baby will remain calm and content.
5. Baby Brezza Bottle & Breast Milk Warmer
Warming breast milk or formula to the right temperature can be stressful, especially in the middle of the night or during the busy holiday season when time is precious. Too much heat risks destroying vital nutrients in breast milk, while insufficient warmth may lead to a fussy baby who refuses to drink.
The Baby Brezza Bottle & Breast Milk Warmer solves this problem with its two warming options: steam and water bath, making sure that both breastmilk and formula milk is warmed evenly and quickly without compromising its nutritional value. This gadget is versatile enough to warm baby food pouches and defrost frozen milk as well, making it a multi-functional tool that takes the guesswork out of feeding.
Gift new parents a stress-free feeding routine this Christmas, allowing them to enjoy more peaceful moments with their baby and the rest of the family this season.
6. Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro
Keeping up with constant cycle of bottle washing, sterilising and drying is time consuming and can be overwhelming to make time for during the holiday season. With the average newborn drinking between 10 to 14 bottles per day, new parents often find themselves spending more time at the sink, than enjoying special moments with the family.
The Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro® is designed to simplify this process by offering an all-in-one solution. It can wash, sterilise and dry up to four bottles at once, along with breast pump parts and accessories. With just one button, parents can make sure that their baby’s feeding gear is thoroughly cleaned and free from any harmful germs. It’s the ideal gift for any new parent, offering a faster and easier way to keep baby bottles clean during the busy holiday season.
Time is always precious at Christmas – give new parents the gift of more time. With less time spent washing, sterilising and drying bottles and more time enjoying their first Christmas with their baby, they can focus on creating special memories.
Gifts for a Less Stressful Holiday Season
With all the chaos of holiday gatherings and festivities, keeping an eye on a sleeping baby can be challenging. With these useful gifts, new parents can monitor their baby’s safety, while still enjoying their festivities.
7. Owlet Cam® 2 Baby Monitor
New parents may struggle to enjoy the holiday celebrations, knowing that their little one is sleeping in a different room.
The Owlet Cam® 2 Baby Monitor provides real-time audio and video streaming to their mobile device, allowing parents to keep a close eye on their baby from anywhere, without having to leave the celebrations. It offers a high-definition video – even in the dark – and features two-way audio, allowing parents to talk to their baby, as well as receive sound, motion, and crying notifications through the Owlet app.
Give new parents the gift of peace of mind this Christmas. With the Owlet Cam® 2, parents can relax and enjoy the holiday season, knowing they can always check in on their little one with just a glance at their phone.
8. Owlet Medically-Certified Dream Sock
Keeping a baby safe is always a top priority for new parents, and the holiday season is no exception. But the excitement and busy nature of this time may add to their worries when their little one is sleeping.
The Owlet Medically-Certified Dream Sock goes beyond the traditional baby monitor, tracking what matters most - their little one’s heart rate and oxygen levels. This smart monitor is worn on the baby’s foot and alerts parents if any health readings fall outside the preset ranges through the Owlet Dream App and base station. The Owlet App also gives parents access to real-time insights on their baby’s well-being such as historical health and sleep data.
Give parents the gift of knowledge this Christmas, allowing them to unwind and enjoy their baby’s first Christmas, knowing that their little one is being closely monitored.
