So, you are looking for stocking stuffer ideas for your baby. Well, you are in the right place! I had 4 babies over a 6-year span and we definitely went through some stocking stuffers!
Will your baby remember what was in his stocking? No. Will you want to stuff it anyway? Probably, yes! Although your kiddo can’t truly appreciate what is inside that magical stocking quite yet, most of us mamas still want to stuff it full of goodies. This is the perfect age to choose practical things that your baby actually needs instead of the cute, advertised things that are flooding your social media feed! Take advantage of this age and buy items that will serve your every day. Your baby won’t know the difference!

The Best Stocking Stuffers for Babies
Dr. Brown Baby Toothbrush
This toothbrush is a great way to introduce teeth cleaning in a low-stress environment. Let your little chew on the brush and get used to the bristle feeling in his mouth.
Dr. Brown Teether
I used a version of this Dr. Brown Teether with all of my kiddos. It was a favorite across the board! Large enough for them to hold onto with enough firmness to apply pressure where they needed relieve while still being soft enough to not hurt their sweet little mouths. Get one!
Rattle Car Toy
This toy was well-loved by my kids from sitting age all the way through the toddler years. The dome shaped top with holes allows for easy gripping of the car and the rattle wheels encourage fun for babies right on up to toddlers! I love toys that can be played with in different ways at various ages, and this is definitely one of them!
Rattle
This was a favorite for all 4 of my kiddos. The holes on either side allow for easy gripping and the beads in the middle make that iconic ‘rattle’ sound when shaken. This is one of my go-to gifts for baby showers!
Interactive Singing Rattle
Ok, truth be told, I am not a huge fan of ‘noisy’ toys. I like my littles to do the imagining and playing on their own. However, I make an exception for the puppy rattle. It has some cute songs (that don’t get terribly annoying!) and doubles as a sensory experience with the textured ears. This was a favorite to hand back on long car rides!
Dr. Brown Lovey Animal with Pacifier Attachment
My boys all loved their pacis and the last 2 had a particular fondness for the Dr. Brown pacis with attached animals. Actually, even though they no longer need pacis, they still sleep with the animals! The attached animal is a great way to soothe a fussy baby, and it makes it a lot easier to keep track of pacis!
Dr. Brown Lovey with Teether Ring Attachment
Can you tell that we love Dr. Brown? This sweet little lovey came out after my youngest was done with pacifiers, but it would have been in his stocking if it was around then! The perfect size to snuggle and something to chew on in case those incoming teeth are a bother. It can also attach to their paci for added comfort when getting ready for a nap.
Leak-Proof Water Cup
I seriously love this water cup. I used it to teach all of my babies how to suck through a straw and it was just wonderful. We brought this cup everywhere once our littles were big enough to drink water. I have tried to transition away from plastic as much as possible, but this is a cup that I just haven’t been able to replace. The straw has a weighted bottom so as your kiddo tips the cup all over the place, he will still be able to get water. Genius!
Stainless Steel Snack Cup
Stainless steel is all the rage when it comes to food storage. Why should it be any different when it comes to your baby? We love the way that this snack cup comes with a silicone lid that you can remove to clean and add more snacks. The brilliantly cut top allows your little to reach in and pull a few snacks out without dumping the entire cup on the ground. This is an absolute must anytime you leave the house!
There are so many practical options when it comes to this age group. These are just a few of our favorites that we used by all 4 of my kiddos and loved for year!
