The February Must Haves Every Mom Will Love

There's plenty to love from the Emily & Meritt nursery collection at Pottery Barn Kids, but one of the most striking pieces is the black-and-white activity gym ($99) with gold accents. And before you complain that it's not colorful enough for baby, it's worth noting that in the first six months of life — particularly when you need to be practicing tummy time on a mat! — newborns respond best to bold, contrasting colors like these. So it's a chic way to hit those developmental milestones.
