Some people’s morning chitchat revolves around rehashing their late-night shenanigans. Ours tends to focus on our night-night escapades. To wit: our list of must-have products to share with mom friends over a cup of coffee.

Aden + Anais Mela Bamboo Swaddles
Wrap baby in lightweight, breathable muslin ($40 for three) for a snug fit with natural air circulation. The addition of silky bamboo fibers gives just the right touch of cool for hot SoCal nights.

Phil&Teds Nest
Next time your fear of getting stuck on the freeway interferes with nap time, plop baby down in this lightweight travel bed/gear carrier ($100) and stay put.

Twilight Turtle
Unless you live at Griffith Observatory, stars are a rare sight. A modern night-light ($30) brings the constellations inside with three color settings and a timer.

Combi Chopsticks for Kids
Pack a pair of spring-loaded training chopsticks ($6.50) on your next visit to Katsuya and watch as your little learns to love sushi.

H2-Whoa Drawing Board
We don’t know a single toddler who isn’t gaga for this doodle board. Spend a lot of time in the car? Don’t leave home without it.
