Christmas is just around the corner! I don’t know about you, but we got our Christmas tree up on November first. I’m usually a strictly after Thanksgiving girl, but for some reason decorating early felt right this year!
If you’re prepping for black Friday shopping you may be wondering what you should put in your little one’s stocking. Even if they won’t remember their first Christmas doesn’t mean you won’t!
It’s okay to want the picture perfect Christmas with all the treats, presents, and perfect stockings, but it’s also okay to keep it simple. Sometimes less is more.
Here’s our best stocking stuffer ideas that babies will actually use!
- Pacifiers: Nonnutritive sucking is a natural habit for a newborn. If a baby isn’t using a pacifier, they will probably be using their fingers or mama’s breast to fulfill this desire. A pacifier will help soothe your baby and keep them happy! Some popular brands include: Itzy Ritzy, Ryan and Rose, and Philips Avent.
- Ingy Bingy Band: It’s so frustrating when the infant pacifier keeps falling out! The Ingy Bingy Band is a pacifier wristband designed to help your baby access their pacifier on their own from as early as 4 months!
With a traditional pacifier clip or loose pacifier a baby can’t typically find and use their newborn pacifier on their own until they are 8 months old! That means YOU have to do all the work! This pacifier bracelet is also safer than a traditional pacifier clip. Pacifier clips may be adorable, but they contain parts that are choking hazards and could strangle a child if you aren’t careful.
The Ingy Bingy Band is made of buttery soft material and velcros around your baby’s wrist. There are two models of this amazing pacifier wristband so no matter what infant pacifier your baby prefers it will work with the Ingy Bingy Band!
- Teething Toys: Your baby will start teething between 4-6 months. Teething toys are sure to make your baby so much happier! They help to soothe their sore gums! It doesn’t have to be fancy, but some great teethers include: RazyBaby Silicone teether, Z-Vibe
- Utensils: Starter baby utensils are the perfect size to fit in your baby’s stocking! They may not be eating yet, but putting something practical in their stocking is going to make no difference to them and a big difference to your wallet! Some unique brands include: Busy Baby, Num Num Baby, and Itzy Ritzy!
- Accessories: I love having boys, but I was so excited to have a girl for all the accessories! Baby bows are the absolute cutest! I promise you, you can never have enough! Socks, or hats are also the perfect little addition to fill up a Christmas stocking for a girl or a boy!
- Pouches: My kids love the GoGoSqeez pouches! If you’re little one isn’t big enough for tasty treats, consider putting a few applesauce or yogurt pouches instead!
- Crinkle Sensory Toys: Let’s face it. Babies don’t need very many toys. Any toy they need is small enough to fit in a stocking! Crinkle Sensory toys are great for distracting babies during fussy moments!
The Ingy Bingy Band is not your everyday pacifier clip! This game-changing pacifier wristband helps babies self-soothe at a younger age than ever before! Instinctively, babies gnaw on their hands in an attempt to soothe. The Ingy Bingy pacifier wristband keeps their pacifier right where they’ll find it, allowing your baby to comfort and calm themselves while you do whatever it is you need to do!
Our buttery soft wristband comes in two styles to accommodate every pacifier.
Our Pacific style should be used when your baby’s pacifier holes are near their nose and chin when in use. It is most commonly used with Avent, BIBS, Dr. Brown’s, MAM, Nuby, NUK, Medela, FRIGG, Nanobébé, Tommee Tippee, and Chicco pacifiers.
Our Sequoia style should be used when your baby’s pacifier holes are near their nose and chin when in use. It is most commonly used with Itzy Ritzy, Ryan & Rose, and The Dearest Grey pacifiers.
