Family sleeping is on a roll

The Humanity Family Sleeper by Humanity Organics is a great tool to have in your co-sleeping arsenal. Our daughter sleeps in her crib for most of the night, but inevitably moves into our bed in the early morning. Usually she's in between my husband and myself, but if one of us gets out of the bed, we put the sleeper roll down on that side of the bed to safeguard and allow the other one to continue sleeping without worrying about her rolling off. When my husband goes out of town I sleep with the roll on his side and sometimes I put her between the myself and the roll on my side.
It has a large pad for mama and baby to sleep and breastfeed. Soft organic cotton to absorb leaks so no sleeping on wet sheets. Easy to use. No belts, straps or buckles. Pad stays in place.
Bonus is that the body pillow is detachable in case you become a mom-to-be again. The pillow now has an all natural Kapok fill.
Can also be used in a toddler's bed to prevent them from rolling out. As I said before, now we're on a roll.

Too hot, too cold or just right

The Gro Egg Digital Room Thermometer by Keen is a nightlight/thermometer that my household couldn't be without. Since the air conditioning is so wonky in our house (hot in one room, cool in another) I rely on my egg in a strangely co-dependent way. My husband hates the egg because when he says that our daughter's room is cool enough, I have the courtroom-evidence-rebutle of "well, the egg says it's 74 degrees". If the room is too hot, the egg is red, too warm...orange, and just right...yellow...blue means too cold. Pretty complex for an egg.
Available on Amazon.

To teeth or not to teeth

My daughter is in what I call "Stage 2" teething. She went through an early stage of mouthing everything she came in contact with, but now at almost 11 months, she's looking for a very particular kind of thing to chew or suck on, and whatever that may be, I'd prefer for it to be free of PVC and phthalates. So whenever she reaches for a questionable toy to chew on, I try to slide one of these into her hand. I have the Haba Trix by the changing table, the Haba Salto tethered (see earlier post about Baby Buddy tethers) onto the stroller, the Green Sprouts Cornring tethered to the Ergo and I alternate between the Haba Kringelring and Green Sprouts Corn Keys tethered onto the high chair. The Haba teethers are all wood with lead-free water-based lacquerers and the Green Sprouts teethers are made from corn and are PVC, phthalate, BPA and nitrosamine free. Chew on that.

Surf's up, in a bowl

This is the Cali kids bowl by Simple Wave. It was inspired by the rolling waves of California, and allows your kids' food to stay inside the wave of their patent-pending bowl lip. It's perfect for new eaters and toddlers alike and has a suction cup that keeps it on the tray. They also make adult cali bowls for stubborn bowl-escapers like salsa and guacamole. They are made from BPA-free, medical-grade polypropylene, and they'll even give you a 20% discount on a new product if you send your old ones in for them to recycle. Kids' bowls available at Calibowl.com and Buy Buy Baby.
