10 Sanity-Saving Gadgets for Moms

Squirt from Boon looks like any other cute spoon, but what's nifty is that it actually holds up to three ounces of baby food in an easy-to-clean bulb. You can single-handedly feed baby (literally), one squeeze at a time. Welcome to mess-free mealtime. Plus, Squirt comes in fun colors like orange, kiwi and grape. $10, BoonInc.com

You'll never have to worry again with the Tri-Scan Thermometer from Safety 1st. This bad boy not only takes baby's temp in one second flat, but you can also use it to make sure formula, food and bathwater are the perfect temperature. $35, Giggle.com

Giving your newborn a rub-a-dub has never been easier. The Puj Tub fits in any standard bathroom sink (that means you won't have to break your back giving baby a bath). The foam tub is uber-comfy for baby; plus, it hangs and stores completely flat so you can make room for more important things like rubber duckies. $40, PujBaby.com

Bumpies swear by the Nosefrida The Snotsucker nasal aspirator, an awesome device that sucks baby's nose dry. Just put the tube into baby's nose and hold the red end in your mouth (yes, really). Before you get grossed out, know that there's a filter that prevents you from getting any of the slimy stuff in your mouth. $15, Nosefrida.com

Watching baby's pacifier take the slow-motion tumble onto a dirty floor just got a lot less dramatic. This one from AlwaysClean actually has a self-closing shield, so it automatically closes before it hits the ground. Buh-bye, germs! $4, DestinationMaternity.com

Conquer your lengthy shopping list (and free your shoulders of that diaper bag) with the Mighty Buggy Hook from Think King that attaches right onto your stroller and has a rubber strap so it won't slide. $15 for 2, Think-King.com

BPA-free, The Medicator from Munchkin was designed by a pediatrician and serves baby liquid medicine in the bottle shape she's used to. Plus, the spout bypasses baby's taste buds, so she'll be less likely to squirm. About $3, Munchkin.com for stores

With the bobalong baby vest, which has a sleeve to hold a bottle or pacifier, you won't have to dig through your diaper bag ever again, and baby will feel like a big boy or girl when self-feeding. The vest comes in tons of bright colors too. $29, bobalongbaby.com

The Avent Baby Monitor with Temperature and Humidity Sensors and New Eco Mode from Philips lets you play soothing music to ease baby to sleep, displays the time (hello, 4 a.m. cries!), keeps tabs on the room temperature and has a two-way speaker that lets you talk to baby no matter where you are in the house. And if that isn't enough, it also features LED lights that flash when baby's cries reach a certain level. $161, Amazon.com

This Glo night-light by Boon features multicolored BPA-free plastic balls that glow for 30 minutes until baby falls asleep. But it's not just for after dark -- the balls are removable for instant daytime playtime. $85, BoonInc.com
