It’s that time of the retail calendar when you get to save a couple of bucks and snag the best deals off the market. The Black Friday deals abound and in the midst of plenty, there’s the dilemma of choice. And with that comes the risk of splurging on discretionary purchases and then missing out on things you didn’t know you truly needed. It’s why we’ve compiled and streamlined down to only the best Black Friday deal options for you in the motherhood/baby market.
1. The Oribel Highchair.
Who says your little one doesn’t deserve a seat at the Thanksgiving table? And no, we’re not talking about having your baby sit on your laps– that’s mainstream. We’re talking about giving them their own actual seat at the table.
The Oribel contemporary highchair completely tops the category with 6 height adjustment and 3 recline positions easily transitioning for feeding to naps. The waterproof wipeable seats with corners that do not trap any crumbs are any parents’ dream. The tray can be attached to the front and back (yes, you read that correctly) when not in use with a magnet attached to the body of the chair.
For added security, it spots an adjustable seatbelt to keep your little one firmly in place. This high chair is perfect for babies 6 months and up to 3 years. At 6 months, they’ve started sitting upright with little to no assistance. So
As baby rights advocates we demand you give Babushka the respect he deserves and right now! And to be honest, even you could do with a little more handsfree moments, you know, so you can just breathe. HOWEVER, do not leave your baby completely unattended to!

2. A Placemat-Cum-Suctioned Bowl
Obviously, Babushka won’t just sit there on the high chair unattended to while you oldies get your groove on with the fattest Thanksgiving turkey laps available and whatnot. So what goes best with Babushka’s new-found independence at the high chair? A placemat that comes with a plate that suctions to the table. This means no food mishaps or incidents of plate tipping over. Made with 100% food-grade silicone and dishwasher-compatible material means it’s both safe for your baby to consume food in and easy to clean.

3. The Rockwell Bassinet
Why construct a full-fledged crib when you can just get a portable bassinet? I mean, there’s nothing wrong with this but if you’re space-conscious, you don’t want something that’ll take a huge chunk of space if you can get something that does the same job but comes with extra portability.
Additionally, the first few months of a baby’s life should be spent as close to their parents as possible (as recommended by the CDC). A bassinet then becomes the most space-optimizing option. Even better is a bassinet that already comes with a waterproof bassinet mattress and two fitted, machine-washable cotton mattress sheets like the Rockwell bassinet.
This bassinet really ticks it all: soft protective sides just in case baby does a sharp head turn out of nowhere, an upholstered bassinet basket that can be moved from room to room, and when baby outgrows it, you can convert it to a cute baby storage basket where you keep all your baby stuff.
Not all moms like to move out of a comfortable recline position that took several twists and turns to achieve. With how low-placed this bassinet is, you don’t need to get up to reach for your baby– it fits just right beside your bed.
4. Tuck and Bundle Baby Wrap Carrier
Yeah, a baby stroller is a super comfortable way to move around with your baby. However, there’s something about the connection that comes with having your baby super close to you and facing you. Not only does this help deepen the mom-baby connection that’s already there, but this position is also the best position to keep your baby after a feed as it aids quick digestion.
Oh, and talking about feeding, the Boba Baby Wrap Carrier makes it easy to quickly breastfeed your baby on-the-go.
Some baby wraps leave you feeling breathless after a few steps because of how bulky and foamy they are, the Boba baby carrier, on the other hand, is super lightweight and breathable.

5. Sneaky Peaky Poo Pants
Sometimes babies do what I like to call “the cryptic poop”– poop that doesn’t stink at all till the diaper is let loose & open and boy it becomes a nuclear situation! Imagine trying to sniff at such a dire situation and risk losing your sense of smell. This is exactly when the Sneaky Poo Pants come in super handy. With these pants, all you have to do is detach the back-flap and pull back what is called a SneakyPeaky Pull Tab to check your baby’s diaper. No more cryptic poop-sniffing situations with these pants in place.

6. The Tush Swiper Diaper Cream Applicator.
Sometimes, in trying to prevent diaper rash, itching and irritation by using diaper creams, we unknowingly transfer germs and bacteria present on our hands to the baby’s butt. What then can you use to apply a rash cream if not your hands? A diaper cream applicator.
The Tush Swiper is an antimicrobial handsfree applicator that you attach directly to your cream tube. Its angled, flattened tip helps it contour smoothly over your baby’s skin as the cream dispenses while its antimicrobial property kills off any skin bacteria or fungus on contact. When you’re done, just wipe its surface clean with a wipe and cap it back on. When it’s time for a thorough cleaning, you can just throw it in a dishwasher or handwash. The point is, it’s safe to wash in a dishwasher.

7. Car Seat And Stroller In One From Doona.
We’re always here for multifunctionality and if it comes from the very pioneers of said innovation? We stan hard! I mean, why get a separate car seat and a stroller when you can just get one product that doubles as one?
The car seat comes with an integrated wheel system that in one snap, you go from car seat to stroller in seconds! Daily car-errands made super easy!

8. The Elvie Breast Pump
Prided on being the world’s first silent wearable breast pump, the Elvie pump indeed wears a heavy crown and they have proof that they’re up to the task. If there’s any breast pump in the market that incorporates comfort and ergonomics into its design, that would be the Elvie pump.
This app-controlled pump is one that fits snugly right into your nursing bra– no cords, no wires, no tubes, no suction sounds and it is indeed quiet enough to wear at a conference call meeting. Its suction mechanism works in a way that ensures milk is expressed directly into the lower bottle hub without tube obstructions or the hassle of trying to get the last of your breastmilk out of a tube.
You can pump while doing other productive things like driving, cooking, tying your shoelace, etc (goodbye to looking like a space-limited AI-wire-connected-robot on prelim testing).
Oh, and also, no more hiding in office bathrooms or discrete corners like a suction-wielding bandit.

9. Baby Pyjamas from Me O My Earth
With caring for babies comes buying a whole lot of care and clothing essentials. In doing this, it’s important to ensure to keep your baby’s carbon footprint minimal. One way is ensuring to get only eco-friendly baby products.
Me O My Earth, from the brand name itself, already points to an environmentally-friendly outfit that aims to put the environment first in all its product-creations. Their pajamas are a true testament to this fact as it comes made in pure organic cotton and recycled materials.
It also spots a two-way zipper that makes quick-changing seamless as you don’t have to totally get baby’s clothes off while doing a diaper change plus zipper guards to ensure the zip tracks isn’t catching on to the baby’s skin when zipping.
The most amazing aspect of the brand is that each piece comes with prints of a specific endangered animal on it. So for every collection bought, money goes back to an organization that cares for endangered species on the garment.

10. Tiny Human Nipple Balm
Breastfeeding is no joke, it gets less humorous if you’re mothering a constantly-voraciously-hungry baby. These little creatures have no mercy when tugging at the nipples. So what’s the best option to prevent the eventuality of cracked, sore or bleeding nipples? A nipple balm, not just any balm– remember, that nipple goes back into baby’s mouth. So it has to be a balm that is free of lanolins, petroleums, dyes, and fragrances. Think you have to wash off before breastfeeding? Absolutely not!

You know sometimes, it feels like toddlers all over the world met at some World Baby Summit to decide to either alwaysss throw tantrums or become highly mobile during diaper-changing time.
SnoofyBee’s Changing Pad is a specific dent to whatever agenda they all agreed to at their summit. It spots an efficient distracting tool that comes in the form of a chewy buckle teether and a play barrier that ensures their hands aren’t reaching to their nether region while you change their diapers.

15. The NoseFrida Snotsucker
“Say Sayonara to snotty noses”
Their tagline is probably the most humorous one I’ve seen in a while. So your little one is literally gasping for air because of a blocked nose and you can’t exactly get them to “oomphhhhh” the snot out of their nose. What do you do? Suck it out with your mouth? (Before you go scrunching your face up into a knot, some mothers do this). Not only is this unhealthy for you, you’re also putting your baby at risk because your mouth hosts a thousand bacteria. Your immune system can probably handle this pretty well, but your baby’s immunity isn’t as strong. Its where a no-contact snotsucker like NoseFrida comes in handy.
To use, simply place the tube on the other end over baby’s nose and suck on the other mouthpiece end to get the boogy out.
If you’re scared you’ll get some of the slimy stuff in your mouth, that’s not happening as the sucker has a disposable hygiene filter that keeps both the slimy snot and their germ friends out and away. It’s also easy to piece out and clean thoroughly.

17. The Haakaa Breast Milk Collector
Automatic breast pumps make life easier but one can’t deny that they are not only expensive, but they are also harder to clean and sterilize as they are made of intricate parts and connections.

This pump is a compact, single-piece silicone material that you simply place over your breasts while the pump gets to work. No running cords, electricity, battery or complicated assembling.

Very synonymous with nursing is the breast-size fluctuations all through breast-feeding period. Worry not as this bra comes with an adjustable fastener designed to accommodate all size fluctuations during nursing.

The Black Friday sales usually come with the temptation of comfort-buying and impulse-buying, there’s nothing wrong with any of these. But I’d buy the things I know I’ll truly need first and then other things can follow.
Remember, opportunity cost (or is it called scale of preference)? Never mind, this is not The Economist magazine but you get the point. 🙂
