The Best Baby Monitor for Security and Safety: Evoz Vision

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post from our friends at Evoz.

One of the products that falls into the category of essential baby registry items is the baby monitor. Baby monitors are critical to any new parent’s arsenal of must-have products, as they provide parents with the one element every new parent wishes for: peace of mind. When it comes to baby monitors, we’re huge fans of the Evoz Monitor for so many reasons, and it’s no shock that parents rave about all of the benefits. Whether you’re cleaning the house, checking in from work, or out on date night, the Evoz Monitor is the baby monitor best pick for your household, especially when it comes to safety and security.

The Evoz Monitor is a WiFi monitor, which means it can support remote access. What does that mean for you? Remote access means you have the ability to use your phone or tablet as the monitor viewer, so you no longer have to worry about charging another screen or misplacing the monitor viewer. Separate viewers are often unreliable, with low-quality images and batteries that don’t charge. By using your iPhone or iPad, you can always have access to the monitor, no matter where you are.  When it comes to security and remote access, many parents worry about the possibility of their monitor being hacked. However, Evoz has a firm commitment to cybersecurity and always follows the best cybersecurity practices to ensure total safety.

Another reason we absolutely love the Evoz Monitor? Its remote access is second to none and makes it possible to go out and live life while baby sleeps soundly at home. Whether baby is home with the nanny and you check in remotely from work, or baby is home with grandma and you check in from date night, Evoz makes it so easy to check in on your little one from the ease of your phone or tablet. We know you already have your phone on you at all times (who doesn’t?), which is why Evoz makes it so easy for parents to stay-in-touch, even from afar.

Another feature we love about the Evoz Baby Monitor is the cry detection. Evoz is the industry leader with their true cry alerts, as opposed to noise alerts that would fire off if your partner is at the crib singing to your baby, for example. Evoz’s approach is patented, and in keeping with their commitment to security and privacy, its cry detection works by analyzing the audio right in the monitor. Unlike other baby monitor companies, Evoz doesn’t send audio from your home up to their servers to analyze cry detection. Furthermore, Evoz was the first baby monitor to automatically track your baby’s wake-up times based on when they start crying, which helps if you’re keeping notes on your baby’s sleep for sleep training.

If you’re looking for a baby monitor to ease all of your new parent fears on sleeping, security, and safety, Evoz checks all of those boxes. Not only is their monitor easy-to-use with a chic design, but their commitment to safety and security is top of the line. We also love the element of re-purposing old tech as a dedicated baby monitor screen, so it’s a wonderful way to be eco-conscious at the same time.

Thank you to our partners at Evoz for making this sponsored post possible.

Matrescence Safe Pregnancy Skin Care Review

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

One of our expectant mom testers, Caroline, tried the Matrescence safe pregnancy skin care line. Caroline is 6.5 months pregnant with her first. She lives in Miami, FL and says that living an organic lifestyle is highly important to her. Here, Caroline shares her opinion of the Matrescence Stretch Mark Relief Hydrating Oil and Matrescence Rose Glow Brightening Essence.

Matrescence Safe Pregnancy skincare review

The Matrescence safe pregnancy skin care products are amazing! Everytime I take a shower I use them! I literally douse myself in the Stretch Mark Hydrating Relief Oil.

These products create so much confidence that I can be in a bikini at 6 months and 2 weeks of pregnancy. I decided to wear a bathing suit for the shot so you can see how healthy my skin looks, especially the lack of stretch marks on account of the Matrescence safe pregnancy skin care products. I think a lot of pregnant woman can probably relate to not showing as much skin when you’re expecting because of everything that we experience. Matrescence Stretch Relief Hydrating Oil can help with that a lot!

The Matrescence Rose Glow Brightening Essence does what the name says it does – helps you glow. The product is formulated with organic chamomile and pomegranate juice to hydrate and brighten up skin. It also helps even out your skin tone.

I think what is most important to me about the Matrescence line is that it is safe to use during pregnancy and while nursing but it still feels very luxurious and premium. I definitely recommend these products to any moms who want to prevent stretch marks or who are experiencing skin issues during pregnancy.

Must Have Baby Bottle: comotomo Silicone Baby Bottles

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

One of the many concerns new working moms have is how their breastfed baby will take to the bottle when they return to work. With moms working hard to pump all day, they want to ensure their babies will be able to drink effortlessly while they are at work. It’s no surprise, then, that comotomo Silicone Baby Bottles have become incredibly popular for working families. comotomo bottles are created to mimic the mound shape and nipple feel of the breast, but the design and attention to detail throughout the creation of the bottle is completely unique to comotomo. Read on to see why comotomo bottles have become such a hit with working moms!

comotomo bottles

It seems as though the standard baby bottle design had not been updated for centuries, and comotomo realized it was high time to design a baby bottle to mimic the breastfeeding process and completely redesigned the entire structure of the bottle and nipple help ease breastfed babies into bottle feeding without nipple confusion, while making it easy on their mouth, stomach, and your hands, too.

comotomo bottle

comotomo has completely revolutionized the baby bottle with their new design. For example, the standard nipples on bottles are often created in a shape which is difficult for a small baby to properly latch on to. However, the silicone nipples from the comotomo bottles are designed to mimic the breast shape, and therefore help your baby “latch onto the bottle.” For a mama going back to work, it’s important to know that the baby can properly feed from a bottle. As comotomo says, “The wide-mound design and the soft silicone nipple help your baby seamlessly transition back and forth from the breast to bottle!”

comotomo bottle

And, if you’re a formula feeding mom, comotomo bottles make the feeding experience special. As the comotomo bottles offer the soothing, soft, and comforting experience to formula fed babies as well. Because of its silicone soft skin, mama and baby can comfortably cuddle up to feed, without any cold, hard bottles in the way. Plus, comotomo bottles are wonderful for formula, as their necks are wide, which means you can easily measure and dump formula powder (or liquid) into the bottle without spilling powder all over, causing your measurements to be off.

The actual bottles are unique in that they are made from medical grade silicone and…skin soft! We love that they truly thought of everything. For example, they took into consideration that since a baby’s hands are so small and it takes them so long to learn to grasp, they created soft and squishy bottles that a baby is much more likely to be able to learn to hold. Furthermore, the soft and skin-like texture of the bottle is much more comforting to a baby than hard plastic or glass. The softness of the bottle has a soothing feel; when you’re feeding formula to the baby in the middle of the night, there will be no cold bottle pressed against your baby’s skin. Also, comotomo bottles are BPA, PVC and phthalate free, so they are safe for baby. 

comotomo bottle

If you are looking for the perfect baby gift for a working mom, comotomo’s Baby Bottle Bundle is the perfect gift for expecting or new parents! Each comotomo Baby Bottle Bundle (7-Piece Gift Set) includes: two 5oz. bottles, two 8oz. bottles, a package of two slow flow nipples (0-3 months), a package of two medium flow nipples (3 -6 months), and a package of two fast flow nipples (6+ months). Learn more about comotomo on their website.

Safe Sleep Must Have: Baby Deedee Sleep Nest

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that when baby sleeps well, everyone gets more rest, so we’re always on the hunt for the best sleep must-haves that are both safe and comfortable for baby. We’re excited to introduce you to Baby Deedee, a mom-owned brand with a mission to help baby sleep safely and soundly!

We all know that due to safety reasons, it is not recommended babies sleep with blankets. Baby Deedee has solved that problem with their unique Sleep Nest! Putting your baby to sleep in a wearable blanket has so many advantages: no loose blankets in the crib, baby stays warm all night, healthy hip movement and a great sleep cue for baby. What makes Baby Deedee sleep bags special, is that they are the only one on the market with a patented center zipper and snap shoulder design. This makes them extremely practical for the parent and less bulky for baby.

Baby Deedee Sleep Nests are ideal for baby year round. With different TOGs for different seasons and sized from 0 to 36 months, they have a Sleep Nest designed for every baby, every time of the year, and at every stage of babyhood. The unique cocoon shape provides a cozy environment. Babies sleep better when they stay covered throughout the night. Parents sleep better knowing their infant is comfortable and secure.

Baby Deedee’s exclusive shoulder snaps make it easy to place your baby in the sleep nest, even when asleep. No more struggling to get baby’s hands through an armhole! This patented design is exclusive to the Baby Deedee wearable sleep nest brand.

Their patented center zipper allows for less bulk and easy of diaper changing (especially in the middle of the night!) with the high-quality reverse zipper. Plus, we love that they are machine washable and can be tumble dried on low – ready for the next night’s sleep.

Baby Deedee Sleep Nests are the perfect baby shower gift, as they come in a range of colors and truly help baby sleep soundly and safely. Give the gift of sleep with the Baby Deedee Sleep Nests. Baby Deedee has also expanded to include cozy outerwear as well, now offering bear buntings and matching booties which are great for gifting!

Thank you to Baby Deedee for making this sponsored post possible.

Must-Have Sleep Essential: Kyte BABY Sleep Bags and Pajamas

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that when babies and kids sleep well, the whole family sleeps well! As any working parent knows, it’s essential to have the right items to help your little ones sleep safely and soundly, as nothing is more important than healthy sleep habits for the family. Founded by a mom, Kyte BABY has thought of everything babies and kids need to sleep comfortably and safely. Read on to see why Kyte BABY is a much-loved sleep essential for so many busy families.

If you’re looking for the ideal baby clothing essential, especially for sleep time, look no further than the Kyte BABY Zippered Footies! The Zippered Footies are the perfect pajama, as they feature a dual zipper option that make wardrobe or middle of the night diaper changes a breeze. Made from the silky smooth bamboo rayon Kyte BABY is known for, these Zippered Footies are cool on baby’s skin and the stretchy material gives you the option to have a snug or looser fit while still staying comfortable and stylish.

kyte baby zippered footies

The Kyte BABY Zippered Footies come in a huge variety of colors, making them a perfect baby shower gift. Also, for those babies starting to walk they now have grips starting on sizes 6-12 months, so baby can wear this easy to wash and wear outfit all day long – for play, sleep, and everything in between! Check out the Kyte BABY toddler pajamas so baby can match with their siblings, too.

Kyte Sleep Bags

If you find your baby is having trouble settling down to sleep, we suggest you check out the Kyte BABY sleep bag. Many parents have reported that it helps their baby sleep through the night, and since it’s the safest alternative to a blanket in bed, it helps reduce the risk of SIDS too. That’s probably why the Kyte BABY sleep bag was voted the No. 1 Wearable Blanket by The Bump (2019). Their sleep bag is made of 97% rayon of bamboo, so it feels buttery soft and breathable. And, most importantly, it is easy to wash and features a J-shaped double zipper, which makes those middle-of-the-night diaper changes a breeze.

One of the reasons we love Kyte BABY so much is that they offer a plethora of options, not only for colors, but for warmth level, as well. TOG is a rating system that measures warmth and calculates how quickly a fabric uses heat. It is the standard when choosing the appropriate sleeping bag for your baby depending on the ambient temperature in their nursery.

Kyte baby sleep bag

At 1.0 TOG, it’s the ideal warmth year-round. However, Kyte BABY recommends a thicker tog during cooler months and a thinner size during warmer months. The Kyte BABY sleep bags help create positive sleep associations for baby so your baby can fall asleep and stay asleep easier, longer, and safer. They are incredibly soft and breathable while also available in 3 warmth or TOG options, so no matter your nursery temperature or climate your baby can sleep at the perfect level of warmth and layers for a safe and comfortable sleep environment. You can learn more about Kyte BABY on their website, Instagram, or Facebook.
