Baby and Kid Products That Will Help Everyone Get More Sleep

You don’t necessarily need something fancy to help with your bedtime soundscape. This portable sound machine only has three different sound settings, but that’s more than enough to lull your little one (and hopefully you) off to peaceful slumber. Use the included cord to charge it up every day or two. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

We talk about this one a lot, and for good reason. The Nanit connects to your WiFi network so you can get a livestream of your kiddo’s crib on your phone or tablet, even when you’re out of the house. It also generates a daily report so you can keep tabs on overnight wakeups when you’re too sleep-deprived to even remember. ($299+, Nanit)

As far as we’re concerned, this thing is the GOAT of infant swaddles — it keeps babies snug, but most importantly, is incredibly easy to use, even when you haven’t slept in what feels like days. Just zip up the sleepsack portion, then fasten the velcro across your baby’s chest with their arms inside. When it’s time to transition to a regular sleepsack, you can keep both arms out of the swaddle portion, or switch to the same brand’s non-Velcro offerings.({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Skip the separate bassinet and get this beautiful Brazilian pine crib that starts as a mini-crib, then expands to a regular crib and toddler bed. The mini crib and regular-size crib can be assembled with or without wheels, in case you may need to move them from room to room. Keep in mind the mini-crib is a custom size; it comes with its own mattress, but you’ll need to get sheets that fit. ($749, Nestig)

It’s a sound machine, night-light, and OK-to-wake clock, all in one. We love that this Hatch machine can be controlled from your phone (so you can adjust it even from another room), and has lots of different light and sound options. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Once your little one is old enough to sleep safely with a pillow (which is age 2, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics), they’ll love this one that’s just the right size to support their tired little head. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

It’s surprisingly hard to find a comforter designed specifically for a toddler bed. This one is cute, cozy, well-made…and will help your kiddo feel less left out if they have older siblings with full bedding situations. This set comes with a comforter and a pillowcase, all in organic cotton percale, and it’s easy to wash and tumble dry. ($99, The Company Store)

When sick season’s in full swing, you’ll be glad to have this addition to the kids’ bedrooms. This Frida Baby humidifier, diffuser, and night-light works for 60 hours on one tank of water, and the wide opening makes cleaning easy. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

If your little one is reliably sleeping through the night, but peeing through a diaper in the process, these Sposie pads can help. Just position them in any size 4-6 diaper, and they’ll help collect extra liquid throughout the night. There’s no adhesive, so you can also easily swap them out if necessary.

Need a little tweak to your current bedtime routine? A fresh story can do the trick. The Maggie B, Dragons Love Tacos, and Strictly No Elephants are some of our favorites. They’d make a sweet little gift as a bundle, too. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)($9.97, Amazon)($10.79, Amazon)

Let this much-loved little speaker give you a hand at the end of the day, when you just don’t have another bedtime story in you. It’s completely screen-free, but kids can still control it on their own by deciding which book, podcast, or music to play (all they need to do is insert the right card). You can even record your own stories or songs on the included “make-your-own” card. With headphones, it’s also great for road trips and long travel days. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

When your kids have outgrown their travel cribs but you’re going someplace where there may not be enough “real” beds for everyone, these are perfect. (They’re super slumber-party friendly, too.) Choose from a couple different designs, like castles and convertibles, and get an electric pump, too, to make them easier to blow up and deflate. ($79, Funboy)

Don’t underestimate the power of a couple really, really, really soft stuffed animals. These are trendy but also just incredibly cozy — we won’t blame you for sneaking a nap on them yourself. ($12.99+, Target)
