19 Underrated Baby Products That Every Parent Needs to Know About

Keep your little one protected from the sun without having to lather them in lotion every moment with Mott's 50 UPF 50 Print Blanket ($50). This soft throw is made from a stretch-knit material that won't overheat your kiddo on a warm day and will give them an extra layer of protection against the sun.

Bucket Bibs ($20) not only save floors from falling food but also keep clothes nice and dry. The spill-proof, food-grade silicone is BPA free, and they can quickly be wiped down without having to dry in between uses.

Sooth your little one's aching gums by filling a Munchkin fresh food feeder ($4) with frozen fruit. When they're not suffering from teething pains, use these safe pouches as a way for your kiddo to try some new foods — they'll love being able to feed themselves and you'll feel more relaxed knowing they won't be able to choke.

From diaper and shopping bags to groceries and gear, The Mommy Hook stroller hanger ($7) is an aluminum lifesaver that's durable enough to hold it all. Instead of lugging everything around, clip one (or three!) of these onto your stroller and get rolling.

Not only does the JJ Cole Collections 2-in-1 mirror ($20) allow you to check in on the backseat while your infant is in their car seat, but this handy product actually grows with baby by turning into an iPad holder for them to enjoy their favorite shows on the go.

Boudreaux's rash preventor daily skin protectant ($7) will be just as much of a relief to parents who are sick of always getting gunk on their hands as it is to your baby's bum.

With a unique horseshoe- shaped design, the Leachco Snoogle Chic Jersey Total Body Pillow ($80) will help you get comfortable throughout your pregnancy and long after the baby is born.

Just because you're breastfeeding doesn't mean you have to feel like a milk machine. Treat yourself to something that will make you feel sexy like Natori's wireless contour nursing bra ($68) for a refreshing postbaby option.

The best thing about Bebe Au Lait's muslin nursing scarf ($30) is that you'd never know it was for breastfeeding. Enjoy this chic infinity scarf pre-, during, and postpregnancy and be sure to take advantage of the generous coverage it provides when feeding your little one on the go.

Keep this on-the-go product in close reach because not only does your kiddo want to touch everything but also everyone seems to want some baby love without knowing the importance of alcohol-free hand sanitizer ($3).

A ton of moms swear by the traditional Boppy but not as many are familiar with the wonder that is the Boppy newborn lounger ($30). The recessed design of this portable pillow lets your little one relax in comfort without you having to worry about them rolling where they shouldn't.

Although Comfort & Harmony's Woombie Perfect Peanut Swaddles ($27) might look a bit confining, you'll quickly see that there's nothing to worry about when they calm your baby down in seconds. This snuggly alternative to the traditional swaddle is so much easier for parents because it zips instead of wrapping and will give your newborn a soothing hug.

Naturally (and safely!) help your congested little one by drawing mucus out of his or her nose with the NoseFrida Snotsucker Nasal Aspirator ($16). The snotsucker works with a long tube that gets placed next to your baby's nostril and is dishwasher safe once the job is done!
