Diapering Station Must Have Items to Check Out

Whether you’re planning on disposable diapering or cloth diapering, we suggest you set up a “station” for easy-peasy changing and to store your essentials. Our Director of Education and Parent Training, Abby, has some of her top changing station must haves for you lined up below. This list will help save you time and money while putting together an area of your house that will be used time and time again.

Diapering Station Silicone Changing Pad

Nearly every parent receives this recommendation from Gugu Guru. Silicone changing pads have taken the market by storm the last few years and we know why! They are easy to clean, easy to use, and add a modern pop into your nursery. When your little ones makes a mess, simply wipe down the pad and you’re ready to go! There are many options on the market, but we like the silicone pads by Keekaroo, Skip Hop, and Hatch.

Diapering Station Storage – Ubbi Diaper Caddy
Sometimes referred to as a caddy, you will need somewhere to store all of your wipes, ointments, nail clippers, nasal bulbs, etc. When you’re trying to change a squirmy baby, it’s best if these items can be at your fingertips. We love Ubbi’s diaper caddy. It holds everything you need on top of your chaning station and can be easily moved around the house when needed. The carrying handle may not seem like much, but it’s worth it’s weight in gold when changing toddlers.

Diapering Station Changing Pad Liners – Boppy Changing Pad Liners
These liners are an excellent addition to your silicone changing pad. The Boppy Changing Pad Liners are a soft, terry cloth fabric that is waterproof and will protect your changing pad underneath. In the event of a blow out these liners can be easily tossed in the laundry and a new one can quickly be placed right on top of the changing pad. They also keep your little one a tad more cozy during chilly newborn diaper changes.

Diapering Station Hand Sanitizer – Babyganics Alcohol-Free Hand Sanitizer
Diaper changes can be a messy job but you might not be able to get to the sink to wash your hands right away when taking care of baby. This baby safe, plant based hand sanitizer keeps you germ free when you can’t get to the sink. The foaming, non-drying formula in the Babyganics Alcohol Free Foaming Hand Sanitizer is gentle on hands but tough on germs.

Diapering Station Distractions – Mouse Loves Pig Crinkle Toys
When discussing diaper station must haves with an experienced parent, they all say the same thing – you need a distraction! Changing a baby can go from simple to messy very quickly. They are always on the lookout for stimulation and you need something they can hold onto without it getting in the way. Crinkle Paper is always great for little hands, and we love this sweet design by Mouse Loves Pig.

Diapering Station Diaper Pail – Diaper Dekor Plus Diaper Pail
The Diaper Dekor Plus Diaper Pail is a totally hands free diaper pail that will ensure your nursery stays smelling sweet. This diaper pail comes ready to go, pre-filled with diaper liners. All you have to do to operate the Diaper Dekor is step on the foot pedal which opens the lid and the trap door and drop in the dirty diaper. Have a diaper that really makes a stink, but don’t want to take out the full bag? No worries! Diaper Dekor liners can be cut and retied at any point, meaning you will never waste a garbage bag. Plus, we love that the Diaper Dekor can be used for disposable or cloth diapering, meaning it is a perfect fit for any new parent in your life!

Kudos to Kudos Diapers!

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

We are always on the search for great product lines at Gugu Guru. Especially products that parents use constantly. Ask any Mom what her favorite diaper is and it’s likely she’ll rattle off multiple brands. Some are great for newborns, some are a better fit for chunky thighs, and others are great for big bellies. Some are thick and soft, some are thin but surprisingly absorbent. Why can’t one diaper do it all?!

I think we’ve found one! Kudos Diapers are 100% plant-based cotton, helping little ones with sensitive skin stay rash-free. Great for eczema-prone skin, these fragrance-free diapers have no extra ‘yucks!’ They are absorbent, thick without being bulky, and fit well. Even their packaging is recyclable and sustainably sourced. Read below to see how moms from our Gugu Village feel about Kudos!

Sarah

I LOVE the feel of the Kudos diapers! They are made with cotton and you can tell in the softness. The side tabs also feel much sturdier and stretchy and would be very hard to pull off.

Our 9lb 7 week old wears NB in Huggies and the size 1 fit well, so definitely look at the size chart when ordering. These diapers are very absorbent without the risk of leaking inner material onto your baby if they get overly full.

Joanie

These diapers fit my baby so well! I’ve used them overnight (12 hours) and have no problems with leaks. I love that they are extra long in the front and back – hold in lots of liquid for my son overnight and also prevent blowouts in the back. The sizing runs slightly larger than the Huggies and Kirkland diapers that I normally use.

Some Major Pros:

-You can really feel the difference [in the fabric] when you’re comparing to Kirkland and Huggies. The material feels less plasticky and much more breathable.

-Knowing that I dispose of 6-10 diapers per day and they can take up to 500 years to decompose, I really wanted to find a good, eco-friendly diaper! The patterns

-Aesthetically, the patterns are absolutely adorable!

-I’ve tried so many diapers and I’m happy to find something that is so absorbent it works for 12+ hours with my son.

Jessica

I’ve tried a few different diaper brands, but I must say that these Kudos diapers are so soft compared to others. I like the fact the company uses plant-based materials to make the diapers. The waist band is extremely stretchy and they seemed to fit my little one very comfortably. Theses diapers are super absorbent and my little one did not have any leaks or blow outs while wearing them. I also like the different patterns and designs that comes on the diapers. On the other hand, I did notice the entire pack of white diapers I received contained small black specks on the inside of the diapers. I attempted to rub them off but they do not come off. Overall, the diapers are good. I had zero leaks and zero blow outs which is a win for me.

Zoe

I really like the idea of cotton diapers, so I was excited to try these diapers out. Upon receiving and testing them for the course of about 2 weeks, I thought the cotton felt nice and breathable on her skin for both daytime and overnight wear. Their absorbency was on par with other diaper brands we use. I felt good about the environmental implications of cotton vs other materials from other diapers. The prints were cute, fun and added some pizazz which I liked.

During the course of testing these, my baby’s weight ranged from about 8.5 to 9 pounds, so we tested out the size 1 diaper. I felt it fit pretty true to size for a size 1 contrary to being told they run small. She wears size 1 in Huggies and Pampers. I did feel that the elastic around her leg could be a little more taught in order to really “seal” around her legs. I also personally like when the Velcro tabs are not white (ex: Pampers has yellow tabs) or when there is an indication of front vs back so that it is easy to identify the front when changing diapers in limited light for night changes.

Annie

My kids have the most sensitive skin. We are constantly at the dermatologist trying new creams, ointments, etc. to keep their eczema at bay. I was excited to try the Kudos diapers as they 100% cotton, soft, and fragrance-free. I have often run into issues with other ‘clean’ diapers as they are stiff and rough against my littles skin. Not Kudos diapers! They felt a little thin when I first took them out of the packaging, but they easily kept leaks at bay. My toddler (20 months) was able to move around without any extra diaper bulk and didn’t have any issues with the absorbency. I loved that they didn’t take up as much space in the drawer, so I could fit the full pack in our dresser.

Thanks to Kudos for letting some of our moms test your great product!

On the Go Must-Have: Baby K’tan Diaper Bag

On-The-Go Must Have: Baby K’tan Diaper Bag

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Let’s be frank. You already know (and LOVE) the Baby K’tan baby carriers. For years, they have been known as ‘the wrap without the wrap,’ and we can’t stop recommending them. They are simple to use, comfy for mom, and keep baby close. Did you know that your favorite carrier company also makes excellent diaper bags? We had moms from our Gugu Village test them out. Read below to see what they had to say and check them out on our shop for HUGE discounts!

Crystal, Mom of 2 – Sojourn Diaper Bag

So after going through a few diaper bags with my now 4-year-old, I kinda knew what I wanted and what I didn’t want. I knew one of the things I absolutely hated was rummaging through the organized bag to find what I wanted, to then end up with a messy bag. This in turn made me really despise using a diaper bag when my son came along. I love that it has a zipper that allows me to FULLY UNZIP THE BAG!! I can open it and see everything that I packed. It also has 9 POCKETS!! You hear that moms…9, one of which is an insulated pocket for refrigerated snacks and bottles and another dedicated pocket for wipes! I love the removable wet bag, especially during the summer months to just throw the swimsuits in there when we are done for the day. The best thing about all this is that it’s machine washable!!! I can just throw this baby in with the laundry and I’m done! I have to say that Baby K’tan really listened to moms and created a great all-in-one bag for many different lifestyles.

Anais, Mom of 2, Flex Diaper Bag

I am quite literally a mess. I love the idea of being organized and I do try, but my efforts always fall short. I love the Baby K’tan Flex!! It allows me to maintain a bit of my sanity while toting around 2 toddlers (3 & 1). With just the right amount of pockets and compartments, I can carry around essentials and leave them in there for the next time we go out. There’s an interior side mesh pocket that would fit my tumbler perfectly but I throw 2 pouches and a spoon in there for easy feeding. The bottom has a HUGE compartment for literally everything. I love the Flex because it allows me to carry the right amount of stuff for my kids. My absolute favorite feature of this diaper bag is that it has a soft shell and is super lightweight! I like wearing it messenger style and it just conforms to my body. It’s so comfortable I forget I’m wearing it. Comfort has become key for me. I even use this as a diaper caddy at home! I’ve found so many ways to use this and make it work for my kids and I.

Abby, Mom of 1, Sojourn Diaper Bag

The Baby K’tan Sojourn diaper bag backpack looks very luxurious and has many pockets. One of my favorite things about it is that it is machine washable but make sure to hang it to dry. The zippers are large and easy to grab. I do find that sometimes the zippers catch on the material. There are a couple pockets that are safe for electronics because of the protective cloth. There’s a bonus bag inside that is a removable wet bag. There is a detachable key fob and several pockets. If you look on the back side and unzip all the way, you will find a removable diaper changing pad. In this area is also a wipe holder and another pocket. Unfortunately, there is no space for diapers in this spot so I use the middle zipper area for them. On the side in between the two main zippers is a small insulated pocket. I do wish this pocket went all the way across the bag. I love this style of bags, but I think this would be better for a toddler/preschool age instead of infants unless you’re doing the basics.

Chelsea, Mom of 2, Flex Diaper Bag

As a busy mom with two young boys we pack what I feel like is an abundance of things. I’ve used backpacks to literal small duffle bags to find what works best for us. I’ve found the Baby K’tan Flex diaper bag as a great inbetween alternative. It’s very versatile as it can be carried as a handbag, with the should strap or the shoulder strap converts it into a backpack. It has many pockets for organizing and a great zippered bottom which provides cooler space. I really love the way it was designed, it’s been a perfect diaper bag for us.

Carly, Mom of 1, Sojourn Diaper Bag

The Baby K’tan Sojourn Backpack Diaper Bag is a wonderful option to take on your adventures with your little one(s)! It is extremely lightweight, has very comfortable straps, and is unexpectedly spacious. It fits everything that I need and more for a full day and night out with my toddler, and even has an insulated pouch for his cold food and drinks. Not to mention, it has a built in changing pad that makes diaper changing on-the-go easy to clean up. While it is roomy, it offers a little less organization than I personally would prefer. Since the interior is black, it makes it a little more difficult to see each compartment, making it a little more of a challenge to find all of my items, however, I feel as though the space on the inside is worth the slight inconvenience of not being able to find some items as quickly as preferred. Overall, I would recommend this lightweight and spacious backpack!

Thank you to Baby K’tan for allowing our moms to test these diaper bags!

5 Moms Tackle Diapering with healthynest

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

Eco-minded parents can rejoice! The newest diapers from healthynest have arrived and are everything you’re looking for when keeping your little one clean. The world’s first EWG-verified diaper, you can rest assured that you are making safe choices for both your baby and our planet. Read below to see what 5 moms from our Gugu Village had to say.

Nikki, 2-month-old, Size 1

We’ve had the pleasure of trying out these amazing, all-natural and organic disposable diapers and wipes. After one week of use, we have had no issues with leaking, rashes, or sensitivities with the diapers or wipes (both wet and dry) while using them during both day and night, and stretches of 6-9 hours for nights. Both the diapers and the wipes are very soft, and they’re thin as well. With the cotton dry wipes, I love that I can mix my own solution to use on them.

I really love these diapers! We’ve had quite a few poo-splosions while using them, and with any other diaper, we would have had poo everywhere. But, these diapers amazingly contain everything with their double gussets and absorption power! They’re sleek, all-natural, organic, slim, and perfect.

Naomi, 4-month-old, Size 2

We have really enjoyed using the healthynest diapers & wipes this week. Mia is our third child, so we have tried quite a few different brands of diapers over the years! One of the best features of this diaper that both my husband and I commented on separately is how thin they are! We are on the go a lot, so to be able to have these slim diapers in the diaper bag and not take up a ton of room has been great! Impressively, even though they are thinner than most diapers, she has not had any leaks or blowouts, which is pretty impressive. I really appreciate the eco-friendly nature of the diapers, and will consider using them in the future!

Callie, 3-month-old, size 2

Diapers are softer and seem to be of higher quality than most mainstream brands. The organic cotton doesn’t irritate the skin. I do miss having a wetness indicator, especially at this age. The wet wipes are a good size and don’t rip, but come out of the package with ease. I was confused by the dry wipes at first… I had never used or heard of them before, so I did a little research and found that most websites recommend spraying your baby’s bottom with something before using them (what’s the point of a dry wipe then?). Nothing like that came with the dry wipes I received so I tried the by themselves and found that they left balled up pieces of wipe on my baby’s skin, so I prefer the wet wipes for diaper changes. The dry wipes aren’t bad for wiping her mouth or hands though.

Trang, 1-year-old, Size 4

I love the design of the birds on the diapers, however, I wished they all had designs on them. The other diapers are just plain white diapers. I wish it tells you that the diapers are soiled by the colors changing on them like other diapers do. The brand advertises that it is good up to 12 hours, however, I do not find that to be true in my case. I have been using the diapers for exactly a week and have experienced my son peeing out of it 4 nights out of the 7 nights. After around 6-7 hours, I find myself having to wake my son up in the middle of the night to change my son’s diapers and clothes. This is something I have not had to do with other brands. The wet wipes are difficult to pull out of the package, but are good quality fabric-wise. They did not rip or tear.

Stephanie, 5-month-old, Size 2

Healthynest was kind enough to send us a box package of diapers & wipes! My oldest daughter loved unboxing the diapers… The packaging was wonderful!! I will be honest at first I felt the diapers were a little thin and was worried they may leak, however, they’re fine for daytime use! They do however leak if left without being changed all night. They are very soft so I’m sure very comfortable on my baby’s bum!!

As for the dry wipes, I love this idea! Because if they get a butt rash they will be perfect to damp with warm water to wipe!!!

And the wet wipes, I love that they aren’t too wet like many wipes are!

Thank you to healthynest for letting our moms test this out!

Must-Haves for the Modern Parent

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

We know it can be overwhelming to figure out what baby products you need, which is why we’re such a huge fan of these brands and their must-have baby products designed specifically with the modern parent in mind. Read on below to see why we always recommend Diaper Dékor Diaper Pails, Love to Dream Swaddle UP, Lascal m1 Baby Carrier, and Nomi High Chair.

The Diaper Dékor is a must-have for any nursery! Unlike other traditional diaper disposal systems where you have to bend over, operate a lid, or even shove a soiled diaper inside the diaper pail, Dékor diaper pails are 100% hands-free. Dékor considered what real life with a baby or toddler really looks like, and designed the Dékor diaper pail to make your life easier. After a diaper change, modern parents are likely to have the baby in one arm and the soiled diaper in the other. Shockingly, no one has a third hand to operate the diaper pail, so what do you do? Well, when it comes to the Dékor diaper pail, simply just STEP on the foot pedal, DROP the soiled diaper through the trap door, and you’re DONE! Coming in a variety of colors, you’re sure to find the perfect one for your baby’s nursery. Plus, they come in different sizes, so you can have them all over the house – and they have a Cloth Diaper Liner as well, which works perfectly in their Plus-sized diaper pail!

Sleep is imperative as a new parent, but can be hard to come by! As a modern mama, you take any chance you can to catch some winks, and Love to Dream’s Swaddle Up is here to help. Love to Dream realized that traditional swaddling is often difficult for new parents to master, and often the swaddle unravels throughout the night, which leads to baby “escaping” and waking up! Babies sleep better and longer with their arms up in the natural position. Love To Dream has revolutionized swaddling so that everyone can swaddle correctly, every time, so babies will have a safer, more comfortable sleep. Love To Dream’s Swaddle UP is the only zip-up swaddle that allows the baby to sleep in a more natural position with arms UP.

Love to Dream also considered families while creating the Swaddle UP and wanted to make the sleep time experience as stress-free as possible. The Swaddle UP helps parents swaddle their baby quickly and safely every time and eliminates excess loose fabric in the crib. Plus, the genius two-way zipper for easy diaper changes and hip-healthy design allows hips and legs to flex naturally. Coming in a variety of colors, the Love to Dream Swaddle UP is a sleep-time must-have for babies!

Any working mom knows how important it is to get as much done as you can in your free time, which is why it’s so important to be able to comfortably wear baby, so you can have two hands! We’re loving the Lascal m1 Baby Carrier for so many reasons. Parents love the Lascal m1 Baby Carrier because it is extremely comfortable and easy-to-use. Whether you’re running errands, traveling, or simply bopping around the house, the Lascal m1 Baby Carrier has everything you need. Keep baby snuggled in close to you, safe and shielded from germs. Offering 3 unique carrying positions within an ergonomic design, this supportive accessory carries your child in optimal comfort. The Lascal m1 Baby Carrier is ideal for infants because the Infant M-Seat allows babies weighing 8-12 lbs. to always sit in the most ergonomic hip-friendly “M-Position” with knees higher than the hip. In fact, parents can rest easy knowing that the m1 Carrier is acknowledged by the International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI) as hip-healthy by giving correct support for your baby’s legs, hips, and spine.

The adjustable lumbar support provides lower back comfort and a wide padded waist belt and shoulder straps relieve stress on the wearer’s shoulders and neck. The m1 fits all shapes and sizes with just a few quick adjustments using the intuitive and easy-to-use buckles, making it a breeze to put on and take off. Plus, their Strap-Tidies keep all loose straps neatly folded for a clean and nice look.

When it comes to high chairs, we’re pretty much obsessed with the sleek and modern design from Nomi. There are just so many reasons to be in love with the Nomi High Chair! Nomi is the next generation high chair that seamlessly adjusts without tools, and evolves with children’s changing needs from birth all the way through the teenage years! The Nomi can be used before baby can even sit on his/her own. You can actually start using this amazing high chair right away from birth with the addition of the Nomi Baby raised bouncer attachment (sold separately). Having baby at the same height of the table from birth means you can enjoy your special meal time moments with every member of the family. This means less standing up and sitting down for you, and more time to eat! Plus, the Nomi is modern and chic, and doesn’t take up a ton of space, so it’s ideal for small space living.

Thank you to Dékor, Love to Dream, Lascal, and Nomi for making this sponsored post possible!

Protect from leaks

100% Hands-Free Dékor Diaper Pails

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

When you have small children, whether you use cloth diapers or disposables – you know that the cycle of diapers seems endless. While it is inevitable that you’ll be changing diapers around the clock, you can make things significantly easier and more convenient with the right diaper pail. Enter, Dékor Diaper Pails.

The Dékor Plus holds up to 60 newborn diapers, but one of the key features of Dékor Diaper Pails is their unique continuous liner system. There are no set bag sizes so you can quickly and easily empty the pail with no waste! Let’s be honest, ? stinks no matter what kind of container you put it in! With Dékor, you can quickly and easily empty your diaper pail more often to keep odors at bay. The built-in continuous liner allows you to empty it as needed, without wasting a full bag in a less-than-full pail. As you near the end of the continuous liner, black arrows will warn you it’s time to empty soon.

To empty, all you need to do is cut the refill liner with the child-safe cutter (that’s inside your pail) and tie a knot on the full bag, dispose of it and then tie a new knot and you have a new bag going. That’s it! You are done. There is no bending, twisting, or squishing the diapers down, but just step on the foot pedal, drop the soiled diaper through the trap door and you are done. Step. Drop. Done! You will find this especially helpful after a diaper change, when you have a baby in one arm, and a soiled diaper in the other.

The triple odor control feature keeps that unpleasant diaper smell from filling the room. The pail has rubber seals both under the trap door and under the lid, and the continuous liner deodorized the pail with a mild baby powder scent. Considering that you will change up to 9,000 disposable diapers for each of your children, before they are ready to be potty trained, this feature becomes important, to say the least!
This pail is also ideal for cloth diapering parents. Dékor offers a reusable and washable cloth diaper liner that makes using cloth diapers with Dékor even easier. It can be used over and over again, just like cloth diapers. The box holds two cloth diaper liners, one for the pail and one in the laundry.

The Dékor is completely secure with a childproof lock that keeps toddlers out and dirty diapers in. The pails are made with closed-cell ABS plastic that does not absorb odors, cracks, scratches, or dents. This diaper pail can last throughout the entire diaper phase, and beyond to your next child. You can sanitize and disinfect as needed without damaging the pail and when you’re out of the diapering years, it can be used as a regular trash can in a bathroom or anywhere in your home. You just pop out the diaper insert. This will give you a bigger opening, and the continuous liner will continue to be convenient.

Dékor offers three different sizes: Mini, Classic, and Plus, and now has Classic Gift Sets. The gift sets include a fully assembled diaper pail, plus over a year’s worth of refills! The sets are available in Plus or Classic and make the perfect gift for expectant parents.

When changing a diaper while half-asleep or clinging to a squirming, fussy baby, the last thing you want to do is fight with a diaper pail. The Dekor is hands-free and eliminates that struggle completely. Simply step, drop and you’re done. You can’t make changing diapers glamorous but with the Dékor Diaper Pails, you can make it a lot more convenient.

Thank you to Dékor for making this sponsored post possible.

Nursery Must-Have: Dékor Hands-Free Diaper Pails

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Here’s an eye-opening statistic for all of you new parents: you’ll change 6,000-9,000 diapers before your child is potty trained! It’s true; so, what do we DO with all of those diapers? Well, lucky for you, we are excited to share a much needed solution to the diaper disposal problem. Dékor Hands-Free Diaper Pails are designed to make this unpleasant chore as easy as possible for parents.

Unlike other traditional diaper disposal systems where you have to bend over, operate a lid, or even shove a soiled diaper inside the diaper pail, Dékor diaper pails are 100% hands-free. Dékor considered what real life with a baby or toddler really looks like, and designed the Dékor diaper pail to make your life easier. They realized that after a diaper change, you are likely to have the baby in one arm and the soiled diaper in the other. Shockingly, no one has a third hand to operate the diaper pail, so what do you do? Well, when it comes to the Dékor diaper pail, simply just STEP on the foot pedal, DROP the soiled diaper through the trap door, and you’re DONE! #StepDropDone

“Dékor is our FAVORITE. We have tried three different diaper pails by this point; one of them didn’t have a foot pedal, and we kept forgetting to close it. The other brand did have a pedal but barely held any diapers. We love the Dékor because the pedal means you can keep one hand on your baby while you’re tossing a diaper, and the bag holds a TON of diapers so you don’t have to empty it practically every day. It is also the best so far at keeping nasty poop smells at bay!” – Actress Bitsie Tulloch

The Dékor comes in three convenient sizes: Plus, Classic, and Mini; many parents keep a plus or classic in the nursery and a mini in the bathroom or kitchen. Hands free is the way to be! With a variety of subtle colors, you’re sure to find one to fit the theme and design of your nursery, and we love giving the Dékor as a baby shower gift, too!

Are you cloth diapering? No worries, Dékor has you covered! Dékor Plus has the largest opening so it is great for cloth diapers with the addition of the Dékor Cloth Diaper Liner, which can be thrown right in the washer. Better yet, the Dékor comes with two cloth liners, which is amazing because you can still have one in the pail while one is in the laundry. Keep it simple and clean!

Dékor refills are one continuous liner so you can empty as often as you want, and they hold more diapers per refill than the competition! However, unlike the competition, Dékor is made with ABS closed-cell plastic that doesn’t absorb odors over time, and it’s safe to clean, unlike metal pails that can only be cleaned with a dry cloth and can rust. There are so many reasons the Dékor diaper pails are a must-have for your nursery and home, they will make your life so much easier – and easy means less stress for everyone!
