Gifts for New Parents
SwipenSnap Diaper Cream Applicator
One of the hardest struggles for any new parent is changing diapers on an uncooperative wriggly mini human being. It would be easier if they had three hands to hold the baby still, squeeze the diaper cream and apply it, but that isn’t possible. SwipenSnap has come up with a solution that allows one-handed application of diaper cream. This clever applicator fits most brands of cream and allows a parent to squeeze and smoothly apply the cream in one easy movement. As well as convenience, the smooth soft applicator also protects a parent’s hands from getting messy with cream. When the job is done it’s a simple task to pop the tube into the suction-based lid, keeping the cream safe and ready for the next change.
Kinsa Smart Thermometer
Newborns are such a worry and new parents will understandably get stressed when their precious little one seems under the weather.

Together they have the answers to all of those tricky questions about childcare that can give new parents a sense of calm.
