At CES in Las Vegas, tons of companies show off their latest products -- including those aimed at parents and kids. We're on the ground covering the show, and so far we've seen some genuinely innovative items, including a game-changing breast milk monitor and a wearable baby monitor that can help you determine when your baby is in a deep enough sleep to be placed in their crib without waking up (a blessing).

Here are the most exciting products designed for parents and kids we've seen at CES so far.

Coro breastfeeding monitor

Coro is a first-of-its-kind breast milk monitor that can accurately measure an infant's breast milk intake in real-time, so you know exactly how much milk is being transferred, down to the 0.01 milliliter. It takes the form of a silicone breast shield, as thin as a contact lens, with a tiny micro-flow meter. An app records the milk intake and translates the data into insights on breast milk volume and feeding trends for each breast to help new parents better understand their baby's feeding patterns.

Earflo sippy cup

About 700,000 US children need ear tube surgery each year. Earflo is a medical device designed as a sippy cup for kids as young as 2, that helps relieve the negative middle ear pressure that leads to the need for ear tubes. 

When you sip from the cup, a small mask forms a seal on your nose, and with each swallow, air flows through the nose. The pressure on the nasal cavity helps open the eustachian tubes in the ear, releasing trapped fluid. In an early peer-reviewed study of 21 children aged 1 to 12 using Earflo for four weeks, 90% of participants did not need ear tube surgery three months later.

Baby FuFu is a bladeless fan in the shape of an adorable bear that can be attached to a stroller, or handed directly to young kids to cool themselves off -- without fear of getting a finger caught. While there are other bladeless fans on the market, none can be handled by babies and young kids in a toy-like form. It's expected to go on sale later this year, priced between $50 to $60.

Necoron baby sleep monitor

The Necoron, also from Yukai Engineering, aims to solve a common early parenting dilemma: When can I put my baby to sleep in their crib without immediately waking them back up in the process? This device, in the form of an ankle monitor, senses the baby's heart rate to see when they've reached a deeper sleep state. The light on the monitor will turn blue when the baby is in a deep enough sleep to be put down without startling awake. The company plans to release the Necoron sometime in 2026.

The Clutterbot is still in development, but the idea is simple: The robot moves around your messy playroom and scoops up toys, and places them in a basket. You'll still have to sort through them later, but the work of getting them off the floor is done for you.

GE Profile's newest fridge seems built for parents, aiming to alleviate some of the mental load of grocery shopping and meal planning.

Other useful features include "Hands-free Precise Fill" which lets you choose exactly how much water you need dispensed for a recipe, and a camera that shows you the latest view of your crisper drawers, so you know what's in there and compare it to what was there earlier in the week to avoid food waste.

It will be available in April for $4,899.
