by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

As we kick of World Breastfeeding Week, I wanted to bring you a few of our newest products that will help create a successful nursing environment. While we firmly believe that fed is best, we love these products to aid all of our moms who choose to nurse/pump. Take a look below and let us know some of your nursing faves!

For a number of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Earth Mama Nipple Butter: This continues to be one of our favorite organic nipple creams on the market! It is lanolin-free, botanical rich, and smooth! No more sticky residue, this soaks into your skin and helps heal any of those chaps and cracks. Plus, there is no need to wash it off before nursing.

Larken X BraLarken X Bra: Although we have featured the Larken Bra before, we cannot stop singing its praises! Made of moisture-wicking, ultrasoft fabric, this nursing/pumping bra is truly the most comfortable on the market! No snaps, zippers, or tags, it allows you to pump hands-free without having to undress or change.

Lactation LabLactation Lab: A revolutionary way to test the nutrients in your breastmilk! Simply collect a sample of your breastmilk throughout the day and send it in to Lactation Lab to be tested. You will receive your results in as little as a week. Plus, they will make dietary recommendations to help boost the nutrition of your breast milk. You can easily share this report with any doctor, lactation consultant, or doula.

Kindred BravelyKindred Bravely Nursing/Pumping Clothes: Looking for comfortable, high-quality, nursing-friendly options to wear postpartum? Look no further than our fave finds at Kindred Bravely. Full of soft tanks, pjs, bras, and cardigans, you will love slipping into these pieces. Easy to pair together and wear on the go, these will become staples in your wardrobe!

The Tit Kit: Every breatfeeding/pumping/feeding story is different. The Tit Kit is here to help alleviate any pain and discomfort that may be associated with feeding. Combining all of your premium breastfeeding must haves, this is truly a one stop shop! Plus, they donate a portion of all profits to organizations that help parents suffering from postpartum mental illness. A perfect gift for any mom planning to nurse or pump!

Please note that these opinions are 100% my own and I have not received any products in exchange for placement in What’s New on Gugu!

The Village Reviews: Joeyband

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

The Joeyband is a revolutionary postpartum positioning band that helps secure a newborn to a parent’s chest. The Joeyband can be used to help prevent falls and keep baby close during skin-to-skin contact. Skin-to-skin contact is vital after birth and has been shown to improve overall infant development, breastfeeding, temperature regulation, and bonding. Our Village testers were able to try the Joeyband and provide us with their thoughts on this innovative band. 

Joeyband

This Joeyband is great to bring along to the hospital for immediate skin-to-skin postpartum. It is easy to put on and really helps you feel more secure in holding your baby – especially when you’re fatigued after a long labor and/or still feeling the effects of anesthesia. We tried the Joeyband with our newborn and were impressed with how quickly it calmed him down! We even caught a few smiles in a row while our son was dozing. It was a good reminder to keep up the skin-to-skin time. The fabric feels a little bit like swimsuit material and is really stretchy, so both my husband and I could use the same size. My husband loved the Joeyband even more than I did – I think it helps him feel that special bond that a lot of mothers feel through the nursing relationship. I anticipate my husband will be using this product a lot before parental leave is over. I was happy to learn that there are even more uses for Joeyband as our little guy grows up. We have a plane trip next month and I’m going to use it to help keep our son more secure and calm as a lap child. Thanks to Gugu Guru for giving me the opportunity to test the Joeyband.

-Alyssa J.

Joeyband

The importance of skin to skin for newborns after they are born has long been established. But the benefits extend beyond just the hospital stay – it’s actually recommended for the first 3-4 months, or until the baby becomes to squirmy. And babies aren’t the only ones who benefit from skin to skin.

Skin to skin is often delayed after a c-section, due to the risk of infant falls. The Joeyband allows for immediate skin to skin for mom and baby because it reduces that risk. It keeps the baby safe and secure against mom’s chest so that this important bonding can start immediately. This way both mom and baby can reap the benefits of skin to skin during the repair and transport process.

The Joeyband can also be used for kangaroo care in the NICU, where skin to skin is critical for preemie babies. Sometimes it’s all a mom can do if the baby is too small or unable to breastfeed. It can also be used by dads! Since NICU babies are often hooked up to tubes and wires, the Joeyband helps prevent these from being disturbed. It’s appropriate for twins and micro-preemies, too. And in the event of an emergency, the babies can quickly be assessed because there are no hooks or buttons, just a few rows of Velcro.

I was fortunate to have a full-term baby with no complications but still found the Joeyband to be useful both in the hospital and even now that we are at home. It allowed me to maximize my skin to skin time in the hospital and aided in breastfeeding because it supported my baby without the need for a bulky pillow. This took some of the strain off my back and neck. When I wasn’t using it to hold my daughter, I used it as a belly band to support my newly postpartum belly.

The Joeyband is soft and comfortable to wear. I was able to put it on and take it off unassisted because it secures easily with Velcro. Once its in place, you hardly notice that it’s there. I definitely recommend the Joeyband for all new parents.

-Misty H.

Joeyband

The Joeyband has been such an essential part of my daily routine. I love using this when I need to have a free hand to work on something while sitting. It is so comfortable and easy to put on and remove.  The gentle squeeze it gives to baby while I’m wearing her gives her security while being skin to skin. Our bond has grown stronger while having the opportunity to stay so close more often through the day!

-Valerie T. 

Joeyband

I enjoyed testing the Joeyband product, and as a mom who had a c-section, I can see the great benefit it provides.

My son has reflux so in addition to taking Zantac he also prefers to sleep upright on someone’s chest. The Joeyband helped me to be somewhat hands-free on the couch and allowed us to enjoy the baby snuggles. Overall a good product for what it was designed for!

-Katherine H.

Joeyband

I have been using the Joeyband for about two weeks. It was very easy to use and made skin-to-skin time with my little one much more enjoyable. It gave me the freedom to use my hands, especially during my meal times, which a lot of new moms know can be a challenge  🙂 The band is thick and stretchy and my little one enjoyed the swaddle-like feeling the band gave him as he would quickly fall asleep. I liked that I didn’t have to worry about him rolling or sliding off of me. The Joeyband is a great product and I would recommend it to any new mom!

-Taylor S.

Evenflo Gold Line: Total Treasures

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

As you all know, finding the right car seat and stroller can be a daunting task. With endless options in the marketplace, we decided to dig deep and we struck GOLD: Evenflo introduced app-enabled safety technology, trendy designs, top of the line guarantees and other smart features to their products in their new Evenflo Gold line— and as the name implies, this gear will be a total treasure, especially for digitally-savvy parents. Plus, scroll down for  a special discount code!

Evenflo Gold Line

There are five products to this line, but today we’re focusing on the EveryStage Car Seat and Pivot Xpand Stroller System today.

Evenflo Gold Line Everystage

Evenflo Gold Line: EveryStage Car Seat

We love this car seat because it’s an all-in-one, grow-with-your child ride, hence the name. At the heart of this car seat, is the innovative SensorSafeTM technology. Here’s how it works: You download the free SensorSafeTM app and buckle babe to activate SensorSafeTM. The app syncs with the chest clip and alerts you the moment an issue arises with the buckle, harness or babe’s temperature. This incredible technology lets you stay focused on the road and can help to alleviate a great deal of anxiety that can come with driving with little ones in the car.

Aside from the high-tech advancements, the rest of the design is equally impressive. In the EveryStage Car Seat, babe will love the plush, premium fabric and ergonomic, durable accents. And you will love the premium level of protection and performance that’s ready to grow with your kiddo—it can hold up to 120 pounds! It also features EasyClick Installation that makes your babe’s strap 3x tighter than competitors—the wiggle-free ride is a game-changer. Another item to note is the in-seat reclining feature when your baby is little and rear-facing provides additional head support which also helps to keep airways open.

Evenflo Gold Line Pivot Xpand

Evenflo Gold Line: Pivot Xpand Modular Travel System with SecureMax Smart Infant Car Seat

Evenflo Gold goes above and beyond the expected—and luckily for us parents, you can rock and stroll with the Pivot Xpand with ease. A few key points: You don’t need any additional parts or tools to convert it from a single to a double stroller, and it can be configured 22 ways to make sure the transition from infant to a 55-pound-kiddo (or two!) is safe and comfy during all stages of growth.

The system includes one toddler seat as well as the SecureMax Smart Infant Car Seat, which has the same incredible SensorSafeTM technology built-in to provide total peace of mind for parents.

Priced at $499, this modular stroller system is especially an awesome option for expectant or new parents who plan to have more children in the next couple years. With the Pivot Xpand stroller, you won’t have to worry about needing to purchase a double stroller down the road.

Evenflo’s dedication to safety, quality, innovation and accessibility puts them on our radar. And bonus: If they’re on yours, try out their Gold gear for 100 days and enjoy a lifetime warranty. Plus, their customer care team, ParentLink, will help you install your car seat with live video installation support! Use discount code GUGUGURU10 for 10% off your purchase.

The Village Reviews: Monti Kids Wooden Books

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

 

Monti Kids makes at-home Montessori learning easy and impactful. Montessori learning involves a series of specially designed toys that address a child’s cognitive, physical, linguistic, social and emotional development. Reading is a vital part of Montessori learning and has been shown to improve language skills and provide benefits that last throughout a child’s entire education.

Our Gugu Village testers were able to try the Monti Kids Infant Preview and Wooden Book. They had access to Monti Kids Infant learning module, which was created to correspond with the Special Edition Wooden Fruit Book. Testers were able to glean useful tips and watch a video on fostering early literacy skills. Here’s what a few of our Gugu Villagers had to say about the Monti Kids Infant Preview and Wooden Book.

 

Monti Kids

This Monti Kids Wooden Book is perfect for infants! It’s so well-made, with easy to turn pages and simple photos of fruits. My son isn’t eating much yet but still really enjoys looking at the pictures as I teach him the fruit names. It’s also very easy for him to look at it on his own, as the design fosters independence. I can tell that the simplicity is appealing to him.
-Carrie M.
Monti Kids

At 11-months, my little one is just starting to take an interest in books so I was very excited to have the opportunity from Gugu Guru to try the Monti Kids fruit wooden book.

To be honest, I have always been interested in the concept of Montessori learning but with everything else we are trying to do as moms, I felt overwhelmed on how to immerse myself in the concepts and introduce it to my child. I LOVE that Monti Kids provides an easy to digest and quick video on how to best introduce the book to your child to make it fun and maximize learning.

With no words in the book I was pleasantly surprised at how much my child would engage with the imagery pointing to each fruit as we flipped through. Since we received it I have spotted my child seeking it out himself to flip through – which is a big win in my book (pun intended).

The simple and beautiful Monti Kids wooden book and the easily digestible educational videos are helping me win at parenting!
-April A.

Monti Kids

We had the pleasure of testing out this wooden book by Monti Kids. The book is very nice, well put together! He really enjoyed looking at it and didn’t pinch his fingers at all! The book is fun and simple. Easier to focus and learn about each fruit. The book is lightweight and easy for him to hold. A little tough for him to separate the pages but he is 7 months!
-Tiffany B.

Monti Kids

Newborn Must Haves for Active Families

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

Are you getting ready to welcome your little one? We were so thrilled to work with popular fitness influencer, Dasha Anderson (founder of Kettlebell Kickboxing) and her husband Dan as they prepared to welcome their first little lady! Fitness plays a big role in their household and we wanted to highlight that with our picks for this active couple. Below we teamed up with Dasha and Dan to look back on the past few months since welcoming Baby Ariana and highlight some of their favorite newborn essentials for active families.

Cybex Balios Stroller and Cybex Q Car Seat: Dasha has described this easy-to-use travel system as, “Sleek and comfortable! The car seat and stroller have been both hiking with me and strolling through New York City. The baby loves it and we feel stylish and secure in it. The safety features alone make this travel system a no brainer.” This travel system was an excellent choice for Dasha’s lifestyle both in and out of the city! Since Dasha lives just outside of NYC, weather can be a factor. We recommended she pair her stroller and car seat with the 7AM Enfant Poncho (great for the carrier or the stroller!) and Blanket 212 Evolution (also great for the stroller!) to help keep her little lady warm no matter what!

Joeyband

Joeyband by Sleepbelt: We love the Joeyband for new parents and Dasha’s family was no exception. When seated, the Joeyband offers hands-free support to baby, making those early days of skin-to-skin significantly easier. This was such an easy way to promote bonding between Dasha, her husband, and Baby Ari.

Fridababy Baby Basics Kit

Fridababy Baby Basics Kit: This kit is a must for any registry. The Nose Frida is now used in nearly every household with a newborn and the NailFrida makes nail clipping not so scary. The Cradle Cap brush will also help with those early baths. But the real must-have here is the Windi, which will help relieve baby’s gas in dire situations!

Diaper Dekor

Diaper Dekor: We loved this Diaper Pail for Dasha, because aesthetically it doesn’t scream “Dirty Diapers inside!” It does an excellent job keeping odors out of the room and comes in three sizes. It is completely hands-free, won’t dent or rust and can be converted to a regular trash can once you’re done with the diaper stage!

Love to Dream

Love to Dream Swaddle: Our favorite swaddles by Love to Dream allow baby to keep his/her hands up while still giving them that tight, womblike feeling. “Love to Dream Swaddles are the best because like most modern parents we spent some nights traveling to Grandmas or taking baby to our gym. The swaddle created a level of consistency no matter the crib or the setting!” These will help baby sleep well no matter where you are!

Belli Skincare

Belli Skincare Hello Glow Bundle: This bundle, which includes the Healthy Glow Facial Hydrator & Moisturizer and the Eye Brightening Cream is a favorite amongst our new moms. “Skin care is tricky when you have baby – you need the best products with the most natural ingredients. My skin was super dry and I had a hard time keeping up with my skin care routine. Belli made it easy! The consistency was great enough to have on all day and into night with no reapplication for a busy mom.”

4moms Breeze

4moms Breeze Playard: Having recently moved into a house and being a dog mom, Dasha needed somewhere that her little miss could play safely. “It is great to give your baby a safe and secure place in the home to move for tummy time or play time. It [also] really helps new moms actually run to the bathroom! Was anyone else scared to do this in the first few weeks?”

Baby K'tan Active

Baby K’tan Carrier: Since Dasha does so much work from home, we recommended the Baby K’tan carrier to use immediately after arriving home from the hospital. Also, we love the K’tan Active here for obvious reasons! “Baby K’tan was amazing for a working mom trying to get things done! It’s literally the only way I was able to type anything and the main reason I was caught up on my inbox. Plus the baby never felt like I was neglecting her.”

Crane Humidifier

Crane Humidifier: We love the Crane Humidifier for so many reasons! Dasha was due in February in New York, an extremely dry and cold time of year. To keep humidity up during the cold months, Dasha set up the Crane humidifier in the nursery. This is also super helpful when baby has his/her first cold, inevitable in the winter!

Stokke Tripp Trapp

Stokke Tripp Trapp w/ Newborn Seat: While it is an investment, this was Dasha’s top recommended product. “In all honesty, this was the BEST item on my list mainly because of the mileage we’ve put in this elegant chair. The newborn attachment allowed me to eat dinner, drink coffee, and answer email like a regular person – all while still being with my baby.”

Dasha is also the founder of Kettlebell Kickboxing and has created a series of fitness programs that are easy to complete at home with very little (or no!) equipment. Check them out today!

We were so excited to review MiaMily Hipster PLUS 3D Child & Baby Carrier.

What’s New on Gugu: July 3, 2019

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

I have found a great lineup of products this week. A couple new pieces of technology, which will help with both feeding and sleep are new finds. We also took a look at the newest travel stroller to hit the market. Plus, there are some excellent accessories to help make breastfeeding more efficient.

For a number of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Mammaway Freeze It Flat

Mammaway Freeze It Flat: An innovative way to freeze your breastmilk stash! Using breastmilk storage bags, simply pump your milk, place into the Freeze it Flat, and stick in the freezer. Once frozen, your stored milk will take up significantly less space. Great for working moms who have to pump at the office!

BlueSmart Mia2

BlueSmart Mia2: A new baby gift for your technologically saavy friend. The BlueSmart Mia2 will automatically record what your baby eats (and for how long) at each feeding. Pairing with an app via Bluetooth, you will no longer have to manually keep track of each feeding. Plus, it is compatible with most baby bottles!

Hatch Baby Rest Plus

Hatch Baby Rest Plus: One of our favorite sound machine/nightlights has now received an upgrade. Pair with their app to create a truly essential product for sleep that will grow with your little one. Now an audio monitor as well as a digital clock, this is a must have for any nursery.

Larken X Bra

Larken X Bra: Made of moisture-wicking, ultrasoft fabric, this nursing/pumping bra will be a great addition to your wardrobe. It allows you to pump hands-free without having to undress or change and is comfy enough to keep on all day long. There are also no snaps, zippers, or tags, making it far more comfortable as your size fluctuates.

Bugaboo Ant

Bugaboo Ant Travel Stroller: Bugaboo has entered the carry-on travel stroller game! The Ant is the only reversible seat travel stroller on the market and it offers great suspension. It has a height adjustable handle, a near-flat recline for newborns, and an adjustable seat height for taller kids. Available for pre-order now!

Favorite Kids Gear of 2019 for Urban Moms

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Our Urban Mama, Megan, is back sharing her top kids gear for 2019 for urban moms. While it may seem like baby and kid gear is the same across the board, urban moms most definitley need to think about things like space-saving items, busy street walking, and subway action! Check out Megan’s suggestions below and let us know what you think in the comments! Don’t forget to follow Megan on Instagram for Urban Parenting tips and tricks! 

stokke

Stokke Tripp Trapp & Newborn Set: The unofficial highchair of NYC, the Stokke Tripp Trapp now comes with a newborn seat! We’ve used the Tripp Trapp for our older kids and now our newest addition can join us at the dining room table. The seat helps encourage bonding with her older siblings in a cozy nest-like environment. 

mamaroo

4moms rockaRoo: It’s chic, compact and gets the job done. Living in a small space the traditional baby swing is not an option in an NYC apartment. My daughter LOVES the soothing back and forth motion of the 4moms rockaRoo. I love the size and that it’s not a giant eyesore in my living room.  

Tula Explore Carrier: The cool girl carrier now has an ergonomic front-facing position. With breathable fabric and beautiful prints, you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for style. This tops my list as the best ergonomic carrier currently on the market. With adjustable head support and carrying option such as inward facing, outward facing and back carry the Tula can take your babywearing from the newborn stage all the way up to a toddler. Perfect from strolling through Soho or running to catch the 1 this carrier gets it done. See more on the Tula Explore here, too. 

Stokke Xplory: When looking for a new stroller for baby #3 I did a ton of research for the best full-size stroller for our family. The Xplory has adjustable heights to raise the baby higher for eye contact and multiple forward-facing stroller positions. The best part of the stroller seat is suitable for a newborn to a child up to 45lbs. For my family, that means the stroller can not only grow with our new baby but I can also use the stroller for my toddler. Having a double stroller in the city is hard (a side by side double practically screams tourist). This allows my 2-year-old and baby to switch off. I can wear the baby when the toddler gets tired of walking or have my older child ride the Sibling Board under the stroller. 

Love To Dream Swaddle: Are you a horrible swaddler? It’s ok to admit this because I’m on baby number 3 and I still have not mastered the art of swaddling. Don’t worry guys you’re not alone and there is a product out there that makes a swaddle solution for parents like us. The Love to Dream zipper design is so easy I’ve even changed a diaper during the night without interrupting my babies sleep. The unique arms up design emulates a natural sleep position in the womb and will help all of you get a decent nights sleep. See more on the Love to Dream Swaddle here, too. 

Elvie Breast Pump: While I’ve nursed all over New York City I’ve never pumped in public, until now! Imagine what it would feel like to not be tethered to a wall or hiding in the mother’s room at work while you pump? The Elvie wearable lightweight breast pump lets you get outside and pump on the go. It’s truly hands-free and perfect for busy moms who don’t have time for pumping to slow them down.

UppaBaby Minu: My favorite travel stroller that handles like it’s big siblings the Vista and Cruz. Sturdy enough to take a NYC curb plus spacious with true one handed fold that’s light enough to carry up the subway stairs.z This spacious travel stroller ticks all the boxes.

What’s New on Gugu: June 24, 2019

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

This week we are featuring a number of products from brands we love! A couple of these items will be great for summer activities and travel. A couple others promote independence for our little ones. There’s also an excellent budget-friendly convertible stroller to check out!

 

For a number of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Copper Pearl

Copper Pearl – Asher: The newest addition to one of our favorite lines. Asher, a beautiful heather gray is the perfect gender neutral color, and comes in a multi-use cover, top knot hat, and knit swaddle blanket. Copper Pearl’s line never ceases to amaze us with it’s buttery soft fabric. These are a must-have for baby’s arrival!

Bbluv Arena

Bblüv Arenä: Perfect for summer trips to the beach with babe in tow, the Arenä will bring the fun to you! Great for keeping baby cool on a hot day, this allows them to safely splash around in a pop up beach pool. Plus, it sets up instantly and comes with it’s own ‘filling pail’ and travel case!

Skip Hop Infant Seat

Skip Hop 2-in-1 Infant Seat: Skip Hop has created an adorable 2-in-1 infant seat that easily transforms from play time to snack time. Giving baby a great amount of support, this seat gives baby a new perspective on the world! Plus, it’s easy to clean in the washing machine!

Evenflo Xpand Travel System

Evenflo Gold Pivot Xpand: This budget friendly convertible stroller offers a great push and easy-to-use modular system. Converting to a double without any extra adapters, this stroller offers 22 configurations and can be purchased as a travel system. Plus it’s sleek and can go head-to-head with far more expensive options on the market!

Grabease Toothbrush

Grabease Double Sided Toothbrush: Created to make this daily routine easier, the Grabease Toothbrush truly gives babes 6 months – 4 years the ability to independently brush. Simply place the Grabease Toothbrush in your little one’s hands and watch them quickly say ‘bye bye’ to plaque! Plus we love Grabease’s commitment to giving back. With each toothbrush purchase, they will not only give back but also help provide operations to children with cleft palates. ‘Grab’ one for your kiddo today!

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

When it comes to baby registries, one of the top items parents are always excited to add is the baby monitor, and for so many reasons. Baby monitors provide a peace of mind for the parents, as well as a safe way to watch your baby while you can take some time for yourself, whether to have dinner, do some work, or simply relax. We’re excited to introduce you to the Kodak Cherish Smart Baby Monitor; it is packed with must-have features and we’re sure you’re going to want to add this to your Gugu Guru favorites or gift it at the next baby shower.

The Kodak Cherish Smart Baby Monitor helps parents stay connected to their babies whether on the road or at home; it actually features built-in rechargeable batteries in both the baby monitor and camera. What does this mean for you? It means you can bring your Kodak Cherish Smart Baby Monitor with you when you travel! It is easy to install the monitor in any room and stay connected via WiFi wherever you are. The WiFi on the Kodak Cherish Smart Baby Monitor features and extended range and delivers a crystal clear HD picture and audio from the baby video camera to your smartphone or tablet. We appreciate that there is the option to use the 5-inch monitor screen to watch the baby, or simply use the HD stream to your phone or tablet.

Using the Kodak Smart Home App adds even more features to the Kodak Cherish Smart Baby Monitor. The Smart Home App delivers notifications to your phone so you can keep apprised of when your little one is sleeping or awake, as well as any other motion, temperature, and even humidity.

If baby wakes at night, you can use the two-way-talk feature on the Kodak Cherish Smart Baby Monitor to soothe your little one back to sleep without entering the room. If your voice can’t soothe baby, try the built-in quiet lullabies and white noise. And, if baby is moving around while sleeping, you can easily control the tilt, pan, and zoom on the camera to see exactly what your baby is doing, letting you rest a little easier. The camera is wall mountable, and creates the perfect viewing into the room or crib wherever you go. Don’t worry if it’s too dark, as it features infrared video – so you’ll have a clear picture of baby even when the lights are down. And, we love that there will be no more tricky fingers in the dark, as the keypad is illuminated, making the monitor very user friendly, as well.

If you’re looking for an all-around ideal baby monitor for your peace of mind, we’re big fans of the Kodak Cherish Smart Baby Monitor, as not only is it the perfect monitor to help your baby rest at night, but will allow parents to take a breathe and get some sleep too!

Thank you to Kodak for making this sponsored post possible – we are very appreciative!
