Dad-Friendly Gear Picks

Moms have a great head for all the feeding and changing details. Dads sometimes not so much. The slickly designed Itzbeen Baby Care Timer, $20, allows parents to track how much time has passed since the last feeding, diaper change, nap or dose of medicine. Data entry is simple and accomplished via large and intuitive buttons. Reminder alarms keep sleep-deprived moms and dads on track, and illuminated buttons make late-night changes and feedings easier.
