"I can fit my whole life inside," Malin Akerman, 35, star of ABC's Trophy Wife (premiering September 24 at 9:30 P.M.) brags of her Tokidoki Ju.Ju.Be tote. She's hardly exaggerating. To care for 4-month-old Sebastian (with her husband, drummer Roberto Zincone), the Swedish-born actress packs baby musts, like milk. "He gets half breast and half Nutramigen in a Dr. Brown's bottle." What else?
Creature Comfort
"At this age, Sebastian is starting to be very tactile and discovering his hands. He likes this Littlephant stuffed elephant with a music box inside."
Sugar Baby
"He doesn't like the taste of pacifiers, but I just dip the tip in Colic Calm, and he'll chomp on that because it's a bit sweet. It's a good trick for when Dad takes care of him because Dad doesn't have boobs!"
Cool Idea
"My Medela breast-milk cooler is also great for holding snacks for me! My fave is Muller Yogurt. It tastes like dessert, but it's nutritious."
Droolworthy
"We're riding in style with burp cloths! One of my friends gave me a few with the letter Z for Zincone on them."
Clothes Call
"Extra onesies are necessities. Most of his are by the Swedish company Livly. He's a boy, so things swing in different directions in the diaper and sometimes leak out!"
