See the Crib North West Sleeps In at Grandma Kris Jenner’s House

Kris Jenner may have faked out viewers with a peek of Kim Kardashian‘s little girl North, but when it comes to where her newest grandchild sleeps, the doting grandmother is not playing around.

On a recent episode of E!’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians, we spotted Stokke‘s Sleepi crib ($800) in white in the baby’s nursery. Since welcoming their daughter, Kim and Kanye West have been staying at Jenner’s house and North has been napping in the luxe crib, which features a modern circular design.

And it looks like the 6-week-old is in good company — fellow celeb tots Haven Warren and Cricket Silverstein also rest their heads in the cool baby bed.

But that isn’t the only thing we’ve learned about Kim and Kanye’s baby while catching up on the show this summer. During the closing scene of the season 8 premiere (June 2), the very pregnant reality star played her boyfriend’s music to their unborn child using Bellybuds, which are specialized speakers that safely attach to your bump.

Let’s just hope Kim kept “Hey Mama” on repeat instead of say, the rapper’s latest hit, “Black Skinhead.”

Bellini Debuts Furniture Collection Fit for a Prince (or Princess!)

We may not be in the market for nursery furniture (just yet!), but we do know a chic collection when we see one. And Bellini‘s new Stella line definitely fits the bill.

Part of a partnership with Newport Cottages, it features a sturdy crib ($1,240) that can convert to a toddler bed, a bookcase ($970) and a dresser ($1,400) with an optional tray ($185) that comes in your choice of white with blue, pink, gray or dark brown. And so it’s safe for baby, each piece is painted with non-toxic, low-VOC finishes.

But what we like most of all is the handcrafted feel and timeless designs, which can be passed down for generations. We could totally see a certain little prince (and his royal siblings) sleeping in the Stella crib.

We’re not sure why it took Vera Bradley so long to debut a kids collection, but we’re glad they did.

It turns out their cheery floral prints are perfect for a line of baby girl clothing and accessories (booties, hooded towels, dresses and more!) especially when decked out in the company’s new signature pink and orange Lilli Bell pattern (left).

But what we love most about the 30-year-old brand’s new offerings is their heirloom-worthy feel. Each piece, including the cozy receiving blanket ($36) and stuffed bunny ($19), is special enough to be handed down for generations.

Actually, we’ve already decided what we’re giving as our next baby gift — the 3 piece layette set ($60), which includes a mini rattle.

Wendy Bellissimo Launches Affordable Collection at JCPenney

We’ve been waiting to see what move Wendy Bellissimo would make next — and we’re glad to say it’s a good one. The children’s designer (who has worked with celeb moms including Brooke Shields, Kelly Ripa and Denise Richards) partnered with JCPenney to launch an affordable (and super chic!) collection of clothing, shoes, furniture and nursery decor.

On Wednesday, Bellissimo celebrated its arrival in stores by inviting friends and family to her intimate backyard bash where she showcased the new line. Among the crowd was Scandal actor Scott Foley‘s wife, Marika Dominczyk, who picked out pieces for the couple’s 18-month-old son, Keller.

“Every baby deserves special and beautiful things and what I’ve created for JCPenney makes that idea attainable to everyone,” the baby style guru tells PEOPLE.

Guests also sipped on champagne cocktails and enjoyed the brunch buffet of cheeses, salmon, homemade pizzas and salad) while checking out the charming displays of holiday fashions including dresses adorned with black lace and rosettes for girls and sleek button downs and vests for boys.

“I designed this collection of apparel, bedding and accessories aspiring to deliver a ‘wow factor’ and I believe any mom, dad or gift-giver is going to find exactly that. I’m beyond excited about it!” Bellissimo added.

Another big hit at the party was the designer’s sweetly simple crib bedding, which is available in basic colors and features subtle accents and prints that pair perfectly with her classic kids furniture — all ideal for a serene sleep space.

Bellissimo, who is pictured below with her husband Joe and daughters Marlie, Willow, Gracie and Cecilia, also showed off adorable accessories and great baby shower gift ideas like plush pint-sized robes. She’s truly thought of everything.

To coincide with the unveiling of her collection, a monetary donation was made to pediatric sarcoma research at UCLA’s Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Take a Peek Inside Phaedra Parks’s Doggie-Chic Nursery

No signs of donkeys here: Phaedra Parks‘s nursery for her second son is all about spotlighting man’s best friend.

The cutesy sleep space — a surprise from Parks’s mom after the Real Housewives of Atlanta star welcomed now 7-month-old son Dylan — prominently features the Red Doggy Days pattern from Carousel Designs.

Once the proud grandma had chosen the pooch-worthy print, she turned to the company’s interactive nursery tool, focusing on four rich hues (dark brown, gray, red and mustard yellow) to piece together everything from cozy bedding to matching window treatments and extra ottomans that doubled as storage space.

Obviously, Parks’s mom knows her well. The room — which features plenty of personal touches including a colorful chevron wall design, family photos and a vintage gumball machine — has been a huge hit with the whole family including husband Apollo Nida.

“Both of our sons love the new nursery. The baby loves the bright colors and mirrored shapes on the ceiling,” Parks tells PEOPLE of the mounted circular mirrors.

But while Dylan has his sights set high, big brother Ayden is focused on the sweetest spots in the room: the jars of colorful confections, which were added to brighten up the space.

“Our oldest son Ayden loves the interactive features on the walls and of course the candy bar!” Parks says.

Jessica Alba‘s baby product empire continues to grow!

Just last month, the actress, author and Honest Company co-founder teamed up with Baby Jogger to release a stylish new take on the City Mini GT stroller.

And now, she’s connecting with another popular brand for a chic spin on an old favorite — aden + anais‘s super cute (and soft!) muslin swaddles.

The gender-neutral designs (hot air balloon elephants, stars and clouds) are printed on GOTS certified organic cotton and retail for $55. Honest members can snap them up for $41.21.

“These are the newest item in our specially curated assortment of unique family essentials, The Collective,” Alba says.

“We see The Collective as another way for us to deliver on our promise to continually inspire and delight!”

It’s a good thing Alba is so excited about this collaboration because daughters Honor, 5, and Haven, 2, often help test out her products.

And if it’s anything like the aden + anais/Hello Kitty collection, we’re betting these sweet swaddles will disappear fast.

Now that Daphne Oz is busy enjoying motherhood, we’re sure she’s happy she had a head start designing her new daughter‘s nursery. To help her create a serene and sophisticated baby space, The Chew host tapped the folks behind celebrity favorite baby décor boutique, Bellini. And we have the inside scoop on her inspirations.

“A little bit glam, a little bit tribal,” shared Oz. “[I wanted] our nursery to be warm and inviting with lots of golds, rich browns and plenty of soft, plush additions.”

Thankfully, Bellini was able to bring that vision (see their storyboard below) to life with their beautiful designs including a cream version of their Alexander convertible crib.

“Working with Daphne has been awesome. She definitely has a specific look and feel she wanted to achieve,” said Michelle Freedberg, owner.

“She and Tina Glazer, our staff interior designer, selected pieces to create a serene and sophisticated nursery that is uniquely hers. Working with clients to design one-of-a-kind spaces is what we love to do!”

We love the room’s peaceful color combination — it’s perfect for a new baby. And so does Oz.

“I fell in love with the antelope-patterned rug, and we really built the room around that with accents of French blue and coral to make this nursery perfect for a little boy or girl on the way without being too traditional. I wanted to keep it fun and somewhere I’d love to hang out, since this is where I’ll be spending most of my time!”

Babies spend a lot of time on the floor, so, instead of wall-to-wall carpeting and synthetic area rugs in my daughter’s nursery, I used modular Flor tiles or natural-fiber Capel Rugs. If you have hardwood floors, try refinishing them in PVC-free options like tung oil or polywhey from Vermont Natural Coatings. Or, try cork flooring: it’s a renewable resource and it clicks together easily.

OFF THE WALL
Avoid that “new paint smell” (which is harmful) with Mythic Paint, which is VOC-free (volatile organic compound — look it up). Let a not-pregnant friend paint and run a HEPA air purifier for at least a week following (I actually still run one in Haven’s room). Also, Graham & Brown does wallpaper in gorgeous patterns made from recycled content and Phillip Jeffries makes cool textures in organic cotton — make sure to use non-toxic adhesive.

PLASTIC (NOT SO) FANTASTIC
Off-gassing is what happens when toxins from plastics and common household goods, from mattresses to furniture to paint, are released into the air. My husband Cash thought I was crazy for not letting some plastic baby gifts into the house, but they had that signature smell. If Auntie must see your baby in a pic with her plastic present, let it air out outside first.

SLEEP EASY
When I asked Honest co-founder Christopher Gavigan, author of Healthy Child, Healthy World, what is the most toxic item in the home, I couldn’t believe his response was mattresses and cushions. Look for materials like polyester, wool, down and cotton from brands like Naturepedic and avoid flammable polyurethane foam that is usually treated with toxic flame retardants.

Babyhome So-Ro Wooden Cradle GiveawaySpantman Photography

Designed by a reputed occupational therapist, Babyhome‘s sleek and modern wooden cradle from so-ro rocks front-to-back (just like in the womb) instead of side-to-side providing a more soothing motion for babies.

Available in single ($400) and double ($600) versions, the head of the cradle features three levels of elevation to help maintain a clear, unobstructed and relaxing environment for your little one. It also promotes healthy breathing, especially for infants with colds or nasal congestion.

Made with plywood Baltic birch (in either walnut brown or white), the well-crafted sleeping space (it also comes with a mattress and sheet) has won many design awards.

With all that in mind, it’s easy to understand why it has so many celeb mom fans including Ali Landry (left).
