"New from BornFree™, the BPA-Free Pacifier for Day and Night Use is an orthodontic silicone pacifier with a flexible handle that retains its shape and doesn't hamper sleep. Made from materials that are 100% free of Bisphenol-A, Phthalates and PVC, the BornFreeTM pacifier also features an orthodontic collapsible teat that encourages the natural development of baby's teeth and gums and a breathable shield to reduce skin irritation and protect sensitive skin." My son won't take any other pacifier and it is comforting to know that it is free of chemicals. Available at Amazon.com.

Secure Transitions Baby Tub

When my daughter outgrew her infant bath tub, I was still not ready to give her a bath in our "big" tub. So I purchased the Secure Transitions Baby Tub from One Step Ahead. My daughter loves it!!! She transformed from dreading bath time to loving it.

What I love is the built-in supply holder to keep shampoo and rinse cup close, so you can always keep a hand on baby. Another major selling point was that it suctions to the shower wall for drying and storage. So you do not always have to be moving a baby tub out of your way, if you share a bathroom with your child.

She loves the comfort and the playful design. This tub must be inflated by mouth. I also read some reviews about punctures but I have been pretty hard on this tub and have not experienced any of these issues.
