Baby toupee

It can get ugly for parents of bald babies. If the hair takes longer than sooner to come in, people are constantly commenting about the lack of hair. I know because my first son had very little hair until he was almost a year old, and I've known other kids whose scalps didn't fill out until they were closer to two. If I had known about the baby toupee then, I might have used one of these 'small wigs for small people' to silence some of the peanut gallery. These baby wigs fit until around 9 months, and there are four looks: the Donald (shown here), the Bob, the Lil Kim, and the Samuel L.

Diaper Vest

For a long time, my husband's version of a diaper bag was a plastic shopping bag which he'd stuff with diapers, wipes, and snacks. He's since evolved to always keeping a stash of baby stuff in his car, but if this vest looks like something that your baby's father will wear, then he'll also love its hands-free design. The vest has special pockets to hold wipes, bottles, diapers, and cell phone and comes with a changing pad. The vest comes in orange, blue, black, and gray.

But this ingenious growth chart from the SFMOMA has room for photos, so it will outlast growth spurts and become a keepsake. Durable and slim in design, this gift for parents will endure the years and household moves with a record of their little faces and milestones. Think of it as snapshots of their childhood.

Ruffled onesie

When it was warm enough, my kids spent most of their infant months in onesies. Although I adore baby style, the constant cycle of changing and feeding makes fancy duds useless for daily life. So glamajama onesies are perfect- their ruffles across the bum adds that little somethin' somethin' to the simple snap tee. They do a few different color and logo variations, but this black and silver one is my favorite. The black makes it a little sleek, the ruffles make it a little sweet, and the silver studded crown makes it a little glam.
