Calm, practical notes for life with a new baby

Little Pea in a Pod is a small library of plainly written guides for new and expecting parents — sleep, safety, baby showers and the first days home. The little shop that shared the name is gone; the notes stayed.

Gear worth a spot on the registry

Only what earns a place on a real registry.

A short, current list of the baby gear we would actually register for is being prepared. When it goes live, links to Amazon will be clearly marked, and Little Pea in a Pod may earn a small commission on purchases made through them — at no extra cost to you. The guides stay editorial: nothing gets a link here unless it would earn a place on our own registry.
