One innovative feature is a built-in color-coded digital thermometer to ensure that parents adhere to the suggested temperature for bathing by doctors and experts. It is designed for babies in three different stages. In Stage 1, parents can place newborns up to age three months in a specially designed newborn insert nestled in the tub inside of the sink. In Stage 2, an infant age 3–6 months can be placed in the cleanwater™ tub inside of the sink. In stage 3, babies six months and older can sit in the cleanwater™ tub placed inside of the adult bathtub. View the video here.

Kyte BABY

The amazing origin story of Kyte BABY began when founder Ying Liu’s daughter experienced infant eczema. The mom went in search of the best fabric for her sensitive skin. That turned out to be bamboo as it is hypoallergenic and three degrees cooler than cotton among other benefits. She sought the counsel of her Aunt Ling in China who encouraged her to start her own line of bamboo clothing for infants. The company has an extensive line of gorgeous baby clothing in more than 25 beautifully vibrant hues. These will make for great gifts to take to a baby shower. Baby clothing includes the 1.0 TOG sleep bag, 0.5 TOG sleep bag, 2.5 TOG sleep bag, sleep bag walker, bodysuits, bummies, footies, and rompers. Toddler items include twirl dresses, leggings, tees, long sleeve PJs, short sleeve PJs, and more. The line also encompasses hooded bath towels, toddler bathrobes, hangers, blankets, and stickers.

Kyte BABY for Adults

The Kyte BABY line, operated by the family owned company, quickly evolved to include clothing for Mom. As with the infants and toddlers, the beautiful colors abound with more than 22 hues. Consider one of the super comfy ensembles for the new Mom like the Women’s Lounger Robe, Women’s V-Neck, Joggers, Women’s Lounge Dress, Women’s Lounge Pants, Women’s Pajama Sets, and Women’s Leggings. The women’s hair bows, women’s underwear, and adult blankets are sold as well. View Kyte BABY TikTok videos.

Boppy

This award-winning, innovative product was birthed when a Mom had the novel idea of creating a pillow to support the babies at her daughter’s daycare during propping time, tummy time, and sitting time.

Other great products include eight types of nursing pillow covers, four types of pregnancy pillows, two newborn loungers and three baby carriers.
