Available in six fruit and veggie-filled varieties (think sweet potato/apricot, apple/cherry and broccoli/peas & pear, each BPA-free pouch features 100% organic products. Pop a few in your diaper bag & store some in your glove compartment (no refrigeration required) and you’re always 30 seconds away from a healthy, relatively mess-free snack. The fun continues – each pouch is re-sealable. $17.44 at happyfamilyshop.com.

Could it be any hotter outside? Cool off inside and out with the Zoku Quick Pop Maker. Pop the toaster-sized device into your freezer for 24 hours, insert the plastic sticks, pour in your juice(s) of choice, clean up/play with Tupperware for 10 minutes and lick away. Nearly instant gratification, healthy deliciousness and a solid 20 minutes of distraction – a true munchkin miracle! One caveat – make sure the Zoku has been in the freezer for at least 24 hours to ensure effective freezing (and avoid spontaneous tantrums). $49.95 at zokuhome.com.

It’s prime hydration season in the Magic City. 90-degree temps and 80% humidity means the munchkins should be sipping something almost 24/7.

Available in berry, fruit punch and orange flavors, each 8oz serving is 100% free of artificial sweeteners & preservatives, contains 9 vitamins and minerals and clocks in at a mere 3 grams of sugar (an 8oz serving of Gatorade contains 14 grams). Insider tip – we love ours slushy-style (pop it in the freezer, thaw & dig in). Prices vary at Whole Foods.

Come lunchtime, a little kitchen innovation can go a long way. Meet our new favorite foodie find – the toastabag.

Sometimes mommy needs an extra hand (or twelve). Get at least one courtesy of the Podee. Invented by a sleep-deprived dad, the BPA-free Podee blends pacifier, straw & bottle functionality to facilitate hands-free feeding. Pop the nipple in your munchkin’s mouth (its best for kids who can sit upright on their own), attach it to the bottle via a long plastic tube and you’ve got at least 10 minutes of free time. Extra bonus – the Podee is said to reduce colic, reflux and ear infections. Once your munchkins gets the hang of sucking, the possibilities are limitless – the stroller, the bouncy seat, the couch during primetime. $9.95 at amazon.com.
