The results are in, and the most popular girl and boy names of 2010, respectively, are Sophia and Aiden, according to BabyCenter.com.

It’s a new number-one for the ladies — last year’s champ was Isabella — but marks the sixth straight year Aiden has topped the list.

“I thought that might be a flash in the pan, inspired by Sex and the City, but it seems to be sticking around,” BabyCenter.com‘s Vice President of Editorial and Global Editor in Chief Linda J. Murray tells PEOPLE Moms & Babies.

“You can spell it in at least 46 different ways that we’ve seen, so when you count those multiple spellings, it easily stays high on the list.”

Keep Baby Snug with True Womb Sleeping Swaddle

We all know how much newborns love to be swaddled. It makes them feel comfortable, secure and safe. And, most importantly, they sleep better.

Now you can wrap baby up in the same snug fetal position they enjoyed for nine months with the True Womb Sleeping Swaddle ($40).

Designed to keep mini feet and arms tucked in tight, it helps infants relax immediately.

And as babies get older and no longer need full swaddling, there’s a Weaning Swaddle ($40) that features a T-shirt top design.

Both styles are available in three soft colors (mint, pink and blue) and made with a super soft cotton/spandex fabric.

Our only complaint: Opening the velcro is noisy enough to awaken a sleeping baby during a middle of the night changing. But no worries, your tot will fall asleep right away once swaddled again.

Think Top Chef judge Padma Lakshmi‘s 10-month-old daughter Krishna Thea eats jarred baby food? Think again!

“I make all her baby food, homemade,” Lakshmi, 40, told PEOPLE on the red carpet at the recent New York City premiere of True Grit, held at the Ziegfeld Theater.

“We just make lentils, rice and kale. She loves kale, loves cumin. She eats carrots, sweet potatoes, and a little onion. She eats great — there is nothing she won’t eat.”

Baby Bubadoo Wraps Make Diaper Changing a Cinch

We’ve all — unfortunately — been there a time or two. What started off as a simple diaper change left both you and baby feeling like you needed a bath. Well, diaper changers rejoice: Baby Bubadoo‘s Diaper Changing Wrap ($15) helps keep the dirty where it belongs.

Available in three bright colors (aqua blue, petal pink, and green grass) and three sizes (small, medium, and large), the water-resistant wrap works by comfortably securing baby’s arms and hands to reduce squirming — and messy mistakes.

Machine-washable and BPA-, PVC- and phthalate-free, this handy gadget will make diaper changes more enjoyable. Well, maybe not quite.
