Baby Bed Blocks

Just look at your darlings. Take your breath away, don’t they?

The problem is, they sometimes have trouble holding onto theirs.

Instead of tucking a pillow under their heads or stacking books beneath the crib to help them fight off runny noses and achy ears, try the Baby Bed Blocks.

The plastic risers from Swedish company Spacebabies come six to a pack — in yellow, blue, and green — and prop up one side of the crib by up to ten centimeters. (Why? The added height helps reduce coughing and congestion.)

Your kids will awaken completely well balanced. Plus, the pieces turn into toys that can be stacked or used as Play-Doh molds. They even go in the sandbox, which means you can celebrate their good health with — literally — a block party.

And, of course, breathe easy.
