1. Most Loved Incline Bed (USA): Fisher Price's Rock N Play
Jenna says, "
My son slept in it from 3 months old until he got too mobile at 7 months
old. That was the hardest period of time for his LM, and the only time
he didn't have a constant stridor was in the Rock N Play. All LM babies are
different, but it was the perfect solution for our little one."

5. Most Loved Baby Carrier: Tula Ergonomic Carrier
Jennifer says, "Our
Tula has been through numerous hospital/Dr visits, several
hospitalizations and 2 surgeries. Between flights back and fourth
between islands to see specialist and surgeries we could not have done
it without our Tula! Definitely a life saver! Carried my baby close when
she needed it most and when I needed it most."

6. Most Loved Sippy Cup: Munchkin
Click Lock Flexi Straw Weighted Straw Trainer Cup
Tracy says. "It has a much
smaller straw than other sippy cups so the flow is much slower. The
straw also has a valve at the top unlike other straws, which allows the
fluid to stop flowing immediately when the sucking stops. The straw is also weighted, so no matter what position he was in he could still get fluid."

7. Most Loved Humidifier: Crane
Stephanie says, "I have used this humidifier for over six years and love it! Very easy to clean and helps so much with the congestion that is associated with laryngomalacia"

8. Most Loved Baby Soother: Babocush
Alana says, "It is amazing. Even my husband who was a big skeptic has gotten on
board. Our 3 week old is my youngest, and it is extremely challenging to
hold her upright for 30 minutes after eating (and she snacks a lot, so
there is a lot of upright time) and tend to my two older ones who are
both under 4. I attached it to our Mamaroo and when I have the swing
going she relaxes im
mediately. Her
breathing is even more quiet on the Babocush than she is when I hold her
against my chest. She does have a strong preference for a steep incline
though (flat didn't go so well - which is why we put it on the swing).
We are two days in now and everything seems to be going great. She is
relaxed and happy on it and I can better tend to my other children. So
far very happy!"

9. Most Loved Pacifier: The First Years GumDrop Pacifier
Kristy says,
"My
son would only take the Gumdrop Pacifier. They
have a shorter nipple and the only thing he didn't gag on."

10. Most Loved Car Seat Accessory: Brica Koosh'N Infant Neck and Head Support
Tracy says, "Our
son had to sleep sitting up and we always had to have a little
something behind his neck to help his chin come up."
