3. Diaper Me Darling Diaper Bag

This cool, trimmed down diaper bag is great for any parent. This could easily be used as an emergency set for each car or with grandparents. This smart bag comes in many designs, but only holds about 2 diapers and a plastic wipes case. That's all you'll need for a quick trip to the store or for an emergency. Try using it to store a change of clothes or travel art supplies for an older child.

This is a unique take on a diaper changing pad - it's round. But it also folds up really small and then holds a diaper or two and some wipes. This diaper changing pad is more about ease of use than anything. It also wipes down easily to keep it clean. It comes in a variety of colors and styles.

5. ITZBEEN Timer

Coast Innovations
The ITZBEEN Timer is a great product to help keep you "honest" as a parent about just how long it's been since you have fed, changed the baby or had a nap. The four timers allow you to track multiple items at one time, including from which side you last nursed.

6. BabyKick

The BabyKick is a device that helps you record your fetal kick counts at the end of pregnancy. This can be useful for some mothers who have trouble with the traditional pen and paper method or simply trying to remember.

The Twilight Turtle is a delightful addition to any nursery. This light weight and soft turtle projects constellations onto the ceiling as a night light for your baby.

8. Belly Imprint by Belly Vita

Belly Vita
This is a really neat idea - a way to commemorate your pregnancy in a lasting way. You think you'll remember what your belly looked like, but doing a belly cast of this nature is better. The Belly Imprint is nice because you don't have to gather individual parts and overall you save money by purchasing the products together.
