054: Send Me the Link: $5 cotton kids sets, very important socks, a sleep-boosting bassinet & SPF you’ll actually want to use

Plus: Dairy-free cake mix (because #foodallergies), a simple salad recipe that feels fancy (but little ones love!), and a new book-to-film adaptation following a single mom's whirlwind romance

MOTHER TONGUE x MOTHER

Welcome to SEND ME THE LINK — a new, regular feature of Two Truths where we send you links to the products, services, apps, experts & extras that are making life better, brighter, more beautiful, or all-around easier. This is the stuff that our community is raving about, that our trusted network is talking about, and that we’re using & loving; the stuff that’ll leave you saying, “SEND ME THE LINK!” You don’t need a lot of stuff in motherhood, but we think this stuff is the good stuff.

Two Truths is a bestselling newsletter & media brand exploring the many truths of motherhood from journalists & maternal health advocates Cassie Shortsleeve of Dear Sunday Motherhood & Kelsey Haywood Lucas of Motherspeak. Two Truths is rooted in the healing & affirming principle that two (or more) things can be true. It’s a “best parenting Substack” per Motherly; also seen in The Skimm, Vox, The Bump, Popsugar & more.

Today’s edition of ‘Send Me the Link’ is an exclusive for our paid subscribers. Here’s what you’ll find inside…

• The $5 cotton waffle short-and-shirt sets for babies and toddlers — available in a wide range of hues — that make the perfect summer uniform.

• The smart crib that helps babies (newborns through age 2) stay asleep longer — and also features a built-in video monitor.

• A delicious, dairy-free chocolate cake mix that’s food-allergy friendly.

• A mineral sunscreen stick and a chemical-based spray we love — because the best sunblock is the one your child actually wears.

• A buzzy book on the dangers of social media and smartphones for young minds — and the role parents play in changing the plugged-in culture.

• A children’s book that serves as a nature exploration guide for kids.

• A hit romance novel that follows a steamy (and thought-provoking) love affair between a single mom/art gallerist and a (much younger) pop star. (Plus: The screen adaptation that’s now streaming)

• The kids’ probiotics packets that one mom friend swears by for keeping stomach bugs out of her house.

• A simple and sophisticated salad recipe featuring just four kid-friendly ingredients and five minutes of prep time.

• The statement-making merch collab that highlights gun control and reproductive justice.
