Baby shopping: 10 interesting products to buy in New York

I know that a lot of people who come to New York takes the opportunity for baby shopping – speaking specially about Brazilian tourists. New York is not the only destiny, but since this blog is about the city… But what worth buying? What’s interesting? I’m not a mother yet, so it’s difficult to talk about this. So, I invited Josi, the author of the blog Aprendendo a ser mãe, who lives in New York and understands much more about this subject! I hope you enjoy her tips!

“Hi! I am Josi, author of the blog Aprendendo a Ser Mãe. I am the mother of Lorenzo, 2 years old, and we moved to NY 6 months ago. I wrote this post especially for you, Laura’s blog readers, to help you them with some tips of products for moms and babies that you can find here in the city. Shopping for your baby in USA is the desire of many moms. So, I’ve listed a few items that can not be missed and some new ones we’ve tested and approved! If you are scheduling your trip to New York, but you do not know which stores to visit, the first one is Buy Buy Baby. There, you will find about 70% of the products from your list, and, if you sign up in the store’s website, you get a 20% discount coupon.  Some products may also be purchased online and sent to the hotel, so you have more color options and models. On my blog, Aprendendo a Ser Mãe, there is a complete list of clothing and accessories. I hope you enjoy the tips! Xoxo!”

1.  Munchkin Miracle 360 Trainer Cup – this cup does not leak and even helps the child’s mouth muscle development.  It’s recommended by dentists and is one of the best-sellers here in USA.

2. Thermos Foogo – This thermal recipient maintains the temperature of the food up to 6 hours. I use a lot when we travel or when we spend a day away. I bring with lunch, fruits or even hot water to the milk.

3.  Boogie Wipes – wipes with saline to clean the nose. These wipes do not let the little nose get hurted.

4. Johnson’s Baby Soothing Vapor – Bubble bath with eucalyptus and menthol, for those days when the baby’s nose is blocked.

5. Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Lotion For Stretch Marks e Mustela Stretch Marks Prevention Cream – best known between moms is Mustela lotion, that prevents and treats str25etch marks that arise during and after pregnancy. Palmers brand is much more cheaper and it is also very good! A great choice for those who want to save money but do not compromise on quality.

6. Summer Infant 3D Lite Convenience Stroller – We are loving this stroller. We know that during a travel you can not carry heavy carts, even in NYC that most subway stations have no elevator. This stroller, despite being a “umbrella” style,  is very comfortable and easy to carry.

7. Infantino Squeeze Station – Children love smoothies made with fruit and yogurt! With the squeeze station you can make smoothies to freeze or baby food. For children who do not like fruit, this is a great option to offer them.

8. Desitin Baby – one of the better options for rash treatment. The barrier cream forms a protective layer on your baby’s skin to soothe and relieve diaper rash discomfort, providing relief from the very first use.

9. NoseFrida Nasal Aspirator – moms’s favorite! Easy and convenient to use. It does not hurt the baby’s nose and may be aspirated by the mother without the risk of mucus exceeds the filter.

10. Melissa & Doug – Made from wood, this brand has a variety of toys, famous here in USA. Melissa & Doug toys promote learning and fun for babies and children.
