2. Baby Play Gym

This activity gym is perfect for newborns who typically spend a lot of time on their backs observing and absorbing their environment. The gym includes two toys that can be hung from the top of the gym to help stimulate baby’s curiosity. The structure is designed with four legs to prevent rocking and to optimize child safety and is suitable for babies from day one. All Plan Toys are sustainably made with non-toxic materials which is very important for items that baby touches and is around for long periods of time. We recommend this for city-dwelling parents especially as the toy is easy-to-move around and compact enough to fit even the smallest of spaces. 

3. Keepsake Music Box

If you're looking for something to last a while, these Kerri Lee music boxes are a true piece of art. Designer Kerri Lee-Sensiba is a mom of three, former bioengineer, and the creative force behind the brand's product designs. Each piece is vintage in inspiration, but with a modern flair that creates a beautiful juxtaposition of old and new. Boxes feature a big wooden knob in front that you can turn and watch the picture rotate as the favorite songs such as "Twinkle Twinkle Little start" play along. It's one of the sweetest gifts that will grow with the baby and provide the soothing sounds of their childhood even when they're all grown up. 

4. Hatch Sound & Light Machine

New parents are always looking for solutions to put baby to sleep and keep them asleep longer and there is so much we love about the Hatch Rest + Sleep machine. This device truly does it all: it plays a variety of snooze-inducing sounds, lullabies, and white noises. It also acts as a night light - simply choose from a rainbow of colors to make it your own soothing environment. The machine also allows set programs to cue the child for tricky transitions as they grow older: naps, bedtime, and morning wake-ups. Tech-savvy parents will love the two-way audio monitor and Alexa-enabled features. 

5. La Maman Nursing Pillow

This is a beautiful yet practical gift for the new moms will help with feeding sessions and bonding with the baby. From the fabrics, to the tassel to the perfectly curved design, this nursing pillow not only feels amazing to the touch but also helps position and support the baby during the feedings. New moms will love the little luxuries like this.

Tadpole is located in the South End neighborhood and is a quick 5 minute walk from The Upton. .
