My Baba Measure: What’s Hot

Wobbly Tower Pastel Rainbow, BIBS

BIBS Wobbly Tower is designed with endless possibilities of use – only the imagination sets the limits. The toy encourages stacking and play in both sand and water. It comes with imprints and small holes of different sizes to create a shower effect where the water flows out at different speeds.

It is designed to stimulate the different senses with both rattling sounds and different textures for touch, while also refining the child’s motor skills.

twoplus Fertility has unveiled a new fertility device to help couples to conceive without the need to have penetrative sex. The twoplus Applicator is a single-use device designed for couples who are finding ‘sex to conceive’ is becoming a chore in their busy schedules, or those who are unable to carry out intercourse normally; for example, couples who have problems with penetration or same-sex couples.

Assisted vaginal insemination is a conception method that can be used to alleviate infertility in couples that are suffering from conditions like vaginismus, erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation. The twoplus Applicator can also be used when couples want to have more control over where sperm is deposited – by ensuring sperm is directed into the cervical opening you can optimise the chances of natural fertilisation. It also ensures that sperm bypasses the acidic, lower vaginal tract where most sperm can’t survive.

HALO®, America’s leading Safe Sleep brand has just launched a temperature-regulating sleeping bag set to take the guesswork out of how to dress your baby for sleep. The ground-breaking SleepSack® Ideal Temp is currently the only temperature-regulating sleeping bag for babies, and it’s flying off the shelves in America, as new parents snap up this genius new invention.

SleepSack Ideal Temp from HALO

The Ideal Temp sleepsuit is made from smart fabric that keeps your little ones at a comfortable temperature all year round, taking the guesswork out of how to dress them for sleep.

The SleepSack Ideal Temp works by helping to keep babies at a consistent, ‘ideal temperature’ by using IntelliThread™ temperature regulation technology, a smart fabric that absorbs heat when baby is too warm, stores it, and then releases it back when their temperature dips. Pretty amazing, right?

HALO’s new SleepSack helps keep babies at a comfortable temperature, avoiding heat spikes so they can sleep better. The IntelliThread™ fibres are embedded in the fabric, which means they won’t wash out or fade.

The ideal kit for any budding dentist aged 3 years and up, the Janod Dentist Set includes a range of wooden accessories, including pliers, an anaesthesia syringe, removable dentures, a dental mirror to find the slightest cavity, a drill, toothpaste, and toothbrushes, so the patient is able to take his samples home!

Tummy Ache, Orchard Toys

Players must try to put together an edible meal in their place setting, but beware of making yucky combinations that will cause a tummy ache! Players pick up food and drink cards from the central pile and place them on the different sections of their plate. If they pick up one of the yucky ‘tummy ache’ cards, they must shout out ‘Tummy ache!’ and place it on their board to be replaced later in the game

The winner is the first player to fill their playing board with five food cards to make an edible meal.

Children find this game quick and easy to play and understand, and will be screeching with laughter at the horrible bugs, slugs and worms they can see amongst their everyday foods! It is also a great way to teach children about turn-taking and encouraging communication by asking them to talk about their favourite food. Tummy Ache is perfect to play in school with friends, or at home with family.

Coco Mat, Naturalmat Baby

Perfect for newborns and babies, the Coco Mat is the original natural-fibre mattress from Naturalmat Baby. Firm, flat and breathable, the Coco Mat is made from layers of organic coconut fibre and soil association certified organic wool.

Spring Mat, Naturalmat Baby
