Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe may have given birth to son Skyler just three weeks ago, but in no way is that slowing this fashion powerhouse down. In a recent newsletter, the busy new mom shares that Rockabye Baby albums start off her Top 10 Picks for the Stylish Baby. “I can already tell you, from just a few weeks in, that motherhood is the most incredible experience imaginable. Consider these gifts for your registry and you will have one happy baby!”
Transformed by the gentle instrumental tones that are Rockabye Baby’s trademark, this new lullaby collection features Flaming Lips fan favorites “She Don’t Use Jelly” and “The W.A.N.D.,” not to mention the official rock song of the band’s home state of Oklahoma, “Do You Realize??” The Rockabye Baby record hits stores today, two weeks after the Lips released a five-album vinyl box set, Heavy Muggs: The First Five Warner Bros. Records 1998.
Changing the face of children’s music, the Rockabye Baby sound soothes infants with its smartly produced and arranged mix of glockenspiel, vibraphone, Mellotron, harps and bells. Yet as Wired UK notes, “There’s an undeniable draw for the adults listening to their favorite band re-imagined like this.” In the same way that The Flaming Lips have become the epitome of musical cool, Rockabye Baby is the hip choice for moms and dads who rock.
Description: Is your little one still up all night, while your eyelids feel like they weigh a ton? Do you realize that the race to find a cure for baby’s bawling has already been won? These lullaby renditions of The Flaming Lips’ songs will speed your bundle of joy off to a dreamland of supermen, pink robots and tangerine bubbles.

Need the perfect baby shower gift for a new mom or dad who’s a movie buff or film fanatic? Check out the onesies from Baby Fish Mouth.
They’ve got a bunch of styles and great movie “quotes” to choose from. How about “I love the smell of baby powder in the morning” or “May the formula be with you”? Our favorite, naturally: “This cry goes to eleven.” We can’t resist a Spinal Tap reference.
Bonus points: all Baby Fish Mouth onesies come packaged in a movie popcorn box!
I’ve been trying to steer you towards awesome choices for baby shower presents for expecting friends (aside from Rockabye Baby! CDs) for a very good reason — I’ve been on the other side of the coin. Here are five of the absolute worst things that you can get expecting parents.
Age 0-3 Month Onesies. Yes, these are the smallest size clothes available for kids. No, your kid will never wear them. Ever. Why? Because they’re too damned small. Doting relatives will purchase them because they are just so cute and tiny, and they will sit, gathering dust, in the back of your closet until you throw them away.
Baby High Heels. Okay, this is just demented. These are soft-bottomed baby shoes with little fake plush stiletto heels stuck on the back. How many bad messages do these things broadcast? And why would you buy something that would make it even harder for a baby to stand up?
Pee-Pee Teepees. Yes, baby boys make urine, and yes, it sprays all over Creation. But this gag gift, a small cone that rests atop the willy when you’re changing the diaper to catch the splash before it hits your face, actually does more harm than good – instead of arcing in a spray that you can catch with a diaper (which you should have handy), it ricochets off of the nosecone and drenches everything in its vicinity. Poor trade-off.
Baby Wipe Warmer. Seriously, people? You can just hold them in between your hands and warm them up in a minute or so. Instead, some idiots buy (or gift) a device that uses electricity to heat your wipes so they won’t shock a tender bum. Unsurprisingly, many of them were recalled for safety reasons.
Soft Toys. Every little one needs a cuddle buddy, but to be quite frank, what they pick is going to be absolutely inscrutable to even the most plugged-in parent. By filling a young baby’s room with stuffed animals and other soft toys, you just clutter up your living space with stuff that they probably won’t form any kind of emotional bond with. And without that bond, they’re just funny-smelling, ungainly pillows.
