Problem: Sleepless Nights

tot trends weekly Getting a good night’s sleep is as simple as a mother’s touch…and mom doesn’t even have to be there. The Zaky- originally created to comfort preterm babies during prolonged hospital stays- is shaped like a hand, scented like mom (or dad), and softly positions and comforts baby when mommy can’t. So ‘Leave a Hand with Your Loved One’ and get some rest!


Problem: Frustration understanding baby

tot trends weekly Baby talk isn’t just for babies anymore; it’s for anyone that learns the Dunstan Baby Language. Developed by Patricia Dunstan- thanks to her brilliant mother’s intuition and her rare photographic memory for sound- the Dunstan Baby Language teaches you what your baby’s cries mean, so that you can help baby to cry less. A language that means less crying is a language we should all be fluent in!
