A company with a perspective, SAMA Baby is inspired by India, and made in India. An inspiration which is clear in designs like the Raspberry Rose Bandej Onesie, below, which we love.

CEO Raegan Moya-Jones, a mother herself, was hard-pressed to find the swaddles she remembered growing up in Australia when she moved to the United States and started her own family. Flash-forward: aiden + anais® was born to aid mothers everywhere in swaddling their babies in generously sized, chicly designed, gentle muslin sheets.

aiden + anais® bamboo muslin swaddling blankets go a step farther, incorporating silky bamboo fiber with natural muslin and fashion forward prints. These blankets get softer as you wash them, and they measure 47”x47”, so they’re great for babies of all sizes. Although traditionally used for swaddling, aiden + anais® also includes burp cloths, nursing and stroller covers, portable crib sheets, stroller and car seat liners, tummy time blankets, and change table covers as suggested uses for their wraps.

We like the “Mela Bamboo Swaddles”, $40.00 for a 3-pack below.

Is your purse overstuffed with your baby’s gear? Now there is one less thing to stuff in there when you’re on-the-go. These Tiny Bird Organics Teethers ($10.95) are stylish enough (and big enough) to double as bracelets. So next time you and your baby hit the town, layer on these teethers (aka bangles) and when your baby gets fussy, give it a quick wipe down and let him/her gum it to ease their aching mouths. The teethers are made from maple and finished with beeswax for a smooth look and feel. There is also an unfinished wood teether, natural wood rattle baby toy, and a natural wood rattle teething toy.
