We’ve seen many different #kids face masks and face coverings hit the market recently since the Centers for Disease Control recommended everyone over the age of 2 wear one when social distancing isn’t possible. If you’re not sure which type of face mask to buy, researchers at Duke University recently ranked the best face coverings, with disposable face masks coming in as the second-best option for protecting against the spread of the novel coronavirus, just after the #N95 masks reserved for healthcare workers.

Not only are disposable masks a safe option for kids thanks to their one-time-use wear and three-ply protection, but they’re also a super practical option. As kids head back to #school, they will need to wear a face mask every day, and disposable face masks are a quick and easy option that save parents the hassle of having to wash a reusable cloth face mask in a pinch. We found the best disposable face masks for kids at the link in bio!

As you get ready to welcome your new #baby into your #home, you’re likely going over the list of everything you need, especially for those first few months. #Diapers, feeding supplies, #clothes, and a place for your baby to #sleep should all top the list, but we know how challenging that last one can be.

There are so many guidelines when it comes to #safe sleeping for #babies. Since the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies share a room (not a bed) with their parents for at least the first six months, investing in a bedside sleeper or crib is your best bet. We found the best bedside sleepers for babies from brands like @evolurbaby @halosleep @dreamonmeinc @babydelightinc @happiest_baby and more at the link in bio! by @parenting

Creating a comfortable, healthy, and safe sleep space for your child is just as important as sticking to a regular bedtime routine. Finding the right mattress, pillows, sheets, and blankets all go into giving your child the best chance for a peaceful night of sleep, which, let’s face it, is good for everyone in the household.

Picking the right pajamas is also an important part of the equation, which makes knowing what fabrics will be coziest for your little ones crucial. Organic cotton pajamas are not only excellent for kids who are irritated by synthetics and tend to get hot overnight but also, because they’re made with soft and breathable fabrics, any kid can benefit from wearing them. We found the best organic pajamas for kids at the link in bio! ✨✨
