Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding Pain + Sore Nipples SOS

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Hey everyone – it’s Monica here – the founder of Gugu Guru.  I wanted to share a personal story today about my experience breastfeeding my first.  I am the youngest of seven kids and the last of my siblings to have babies. My mom was a breastfeeding superhero and so were my sisters. When it was my time to nurse, it never once crossed my mind that it would be difficult for me. After all, I came from a family of breastfeeders. I was cut out for it, right? So, while I researched the heck out of things like how to get my newborn to sleep before I had my son, I never once read a word on breastfeeding so felt a little overwhelmed when things didn’t go my way. Turns out, breastfeeding can throw you a curveball or two like breastfeeding pain and sore nipples.

Since it’s World Breastfeeding Week, I wanted to share some of the products that we recommend for breastfeeding pain relief.  Of course, you should always consult with your physician or lactation consultant before you try anything but you might want to consider these products if you’re experiencing discomfort while nursing.  I personally find these products to be essential in helping nipple pain, breastmilk let-down and providing general comfort. Read on to find out what product(s) might give relief to you.

Soothing Nipple Creams to Check Out

Breastfeeding Pain nipple butter

Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter – You may love Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter if natural, organic GMO-free certified products are important to you. It moisturizes dry skin, and brings your nipples back to their happy place. And since it just might end up in baby’s mouth, it’s Non-GMO Project Verified. So there’s no need to wash it off before nursing! You would also want to consider using a lanolin free product if there is any indication that you may have thrush as lanolin may exacerbate fungal growth.

Breastfeeding Pain lanolin

Lansinoh Lanolin– this is the #1 recommended nipple cream by lactation consultants and doctors in the US.  Lansinoh Lanolin is also 100% natural, hypoallergenic, and free of parabens and preservatives.  If you’re like me and a bit of a minimalist when it comes to products, you’ll also love that this product is multi-purpose.  In addition to providing soothing relief to nipples, I also used it as a lip moisturizer on-the-go and kept it in my cosmetic bag.

Breast Relief Pads to Check Out

Breastfeeding Pain therapearl

Lansinoh TheraPearl– These packs can be used as hot or cold therapy. The cold pack therapy is great for relieving engorgement, just throw it in the freezer. The hot pack therapy helps relieve plugged ducts, mastitis, and encourages milk let-down, just throw it in the microwave. If you’re a working and pumping mama, you might also appreciate that these can reduce your time in the pumping room at work. Just heat, insert in the covers and snap onto any breast pump flanges to increase milk production.

Breastfeeding Pain booby tubes

Earth Mama Booby Tubes– If you’re eco-minded or have very sensitive skin, you may want to consider Earth Mama’s Booby Tubes. The unique gel-free construction of these tubes was designed to help reduce the risk of burns. Unlike gel packs, they’re made with flax seed but like gel packs can be used cold or hot to help relieve nipple and breastfeeding pain. On the brand’s alternative use list, Earth Mama says that the heat and cold from this product “can also be used for everything from sore muscles and that time of the month to aching ears and bellies.”

Made in America Gift Guide

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

With July being the time to celebrate America, we wanted to celebrate American made baby gifts; we rounded up some of our favorite baby gifts made right here in USA. Don’t forget, you can also add these to your favorites, too!

Carousel Designs: When it comes to picking crib bedding, it’s so much fun to match the bedding with the design of the nursery and really personalize the whole room. We’re huge fans of customization, which is why we love Carousel Designs bedding. Not only do they offer a gorgeous assortment of designs in a huge variety of nursery themes, but you can also design your own bedding set! With the nursery designer program on their website, you can drag and drop styles and designs to create your own custom bedding set – yes, it really is that cool! Carousel Designs was founded over 30 years ago and has worked to personalize the nursery design experience by offering our customers unmatched service and the ability to custom design their baby’s bedding, all right here in the USA.  In August of 2017, Carousel Designs was acquired by Crown Crafts, Inc., one of America’s largest producers of infant, toddler and juvenile consumer products. Now a member of the Crown Crafts family of businesses, Carousel Designs continues to operate out of Douglasville, Georgia and proudly manufacture products in the USA, while offering an even wider range of design possibilities and nursery products for customers. These make a perfect baby shower gift!

Bets & Emy Wipes: As any new parent knows, when it comes to wipes for baby, you want to make sure that they are soft, gentle, and safe for baby’s skin, which can be very sensitive at times. When we came across the Bets & Emy Wipes, we were thrilled about all components of them – especially the fact that they are made in America! Bets & Emy was founded in April of 2016 by Emily Frazer, CPSM. Emily began work developing Bets & Emy wipes in 2013 after the birth of her son, Archie. When Emily realized how many chemicals were in her baby wipes—even the “natural, fragrance free” baby wipes she was using—she believed the baby wipes were part of the problem, and began her search for something better. In August of 2016, after many months of sampling and testing, Emily’s first sample run of 1,000 packs was a success. She is proud and excited to bring you this alternative to conventional baby wipes. Bets & Emy Wipes are 99.9% water and 0.1% Citrus Extract, they are soft and strong with no fragrances or oils – super safe for babies and kids. You won’t want to be without your Bets & Emy Wipes, once you open a pack, you won’t ever go back! These are a great gift for a new mom who may not know how sensitive babies’ skin can be; set her up with these made in America wipes with no chemicals or preservatives.

Covered Goods, Original Multi-purpose Nursing Cover: When it comes to creating registries for moms who plan to breastfeed, we always add Covered Goods Multi-Purpose Cover to the list. These covers, which comes in a huge variety of colors and styles are also Made in America! Did you know that Covered Goods is the original multi-use nursing cover, too? Founder Jamie Yetter, herself a mother of four, faced a common fear that many women have while nursing in public; the fear of being exposed! She set out to create a way mothers could safely and comfortably breastfeed in public, all while still staying stylish. Plus, we’re huge fans of multi-purpose baby items, and these covers can be used as a carseat cover, grocery cart cover, or a scarf for mama when she’s not breastfeeding. The high quality covers are made from an ultra-comfy breathable lightweight and stretchy fabric.  There are no straps, rings, or cords to mess with.  The covers take seconds to put on and take off, and alleviate any worry that baby will kick or pull mom’s cover off.  The flexible neck is also designed to be able to be worn down under one arm to give mom even more freedom when nursing.  An added benefit of the flexible neck allows mom to peek in on baby or to make sure her little one has latched properly.  Covered Goods nursing covers can be folded compactly for storage and they are ideal for traveling with baby.

Check out some of our other favorite Made in America Gift ideas:

  • Tiny Tags Necklaces
  • Colgate Crib Mattresses
  • Kizingo Utensils for Kids

Honorable Mention Nursing Pillows: Shuga Bebé Couture
We would be remiss not to mention one of our favorite feeding pillows – the Shuga Bebé Couture nursing pillow.

Plus the gradual incline enables a natural nursing/bottle feeding position. Shuga Bebe Couture pillows are great for c-section mamas; the pillows reduce the pressure placed on sensitive incisions because they’re not “curve” shaped like other pillows. P.S. This was also included in our minimalist registry picks.

Comfortable and Chic Nursing and Maternity Wear: Kindred Bravely

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

When it comes to maternity and breastfeeding-friendly pajamas, bras, and underwear, it can be difficult to find options which are comfortable and will make you feel great about yourself. Kindred Bravely is your one-stop-shop for maternity and nursing-friendly bras, underwear, pajamas and more; they exquisitely combine comfortable and functional pieces with style and detail. Mary Ware, of the Mom Friend blog is due soon with her second baby and got the chance to try out some of Kindred Bravely’s most popular styles. You can find Mary on her blog and Instagram.

Kindred Bravely is unique in that all of their clothing and accessories are designed by moms for moms; only a mom would know that postpartum skin is super sensitive and a bra needs to be as soft as soft can be – which is why their nursing and maternity bras are one-of-a-kind! Kindred Bravely’s clothing feature tiny – but important – details to make motherhood easier.  With soft, premium fabrics and flattering silhouettes, Kindred Bravely combines the coziness moms deserve with the versatility you need. You’ll feel so comfortable, you’ll want to wear these clothes day and night. Kindred Bravely also has adorable accessories, like organic nursing pads, and non-skid socks ideal for labor and delivery (check out all the cute sayings on them!).

Mary tried out the French Terry Racerback Nursing & Sleep Bra (in mint); the simple crossover front design and stretchy fabric make a super comfy nursing and sleep bra with easy one-handed pull-aside breastfeeding access and gentle support. It is the ideal choice for night-time support and keeping breast pads in place. This bra is also a great choice for walking, yoga, or anytime you want light support and comfort. Whether breastfeeding, pregnant, or none-of-the-above, you will enjoy the comfort and style this bra offers and pull it from your drawer time and time again.

The Louisa Ultra High-Waisted Maternity & Pregnancy Leggings can be worn day and night, from your first trimester all the way to delivery day. The versatile style makes them perfect for layering with your favorite maternity tops and tanks; they provide gentle smoothing, comfortably adjusting to your changing body. Plus, nursing moms love pairing these leggings with their favorite nursing bras, allowing for greater coverage and modesty whether breastfeeding in public or just in the company of friends and family.  The soft, stretchy waistband rises over a baby bump or postpartum tummy, ensuring that it won’t dig in to your belly or irritate your C-section incision. Whether you wear them day or night, the leggings will become an essential part of your wardrobe: a staple part of any capsule collection, perfect for wearing with shirts, dresses, camisoles, and sweaters.

See what she has to say here:

Great Causes: Satao’s Keeper

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

One of Gugu Guru’s most popular baby registries is our Cause-Driven Baby Registry, and today we’re introducing you to a this wonderful Mother’s Day gift idea or product to add to your own cause-driven baby registry. Satao’s Keeper is a retail company fighting to keep the worlds biggest creatures safe from poachers. With every purchase of a gorgeous cape, they donate 10% towards helping endangered elephants and rhinos. Satao’s Keeper is named for Satao, one of Kenya’s largest elephants. He was known as a tusker, due to his large tusks that almost touched the ground.  Sadly, Satao was poached for his ivory in May 2014. Satao, protected his heard until the day his life was taken.  Even though he is gone, Satao’s Keeper seeks to carry on and protect his legacy.

Satao’s Keeper is all about fashion with a cause, and we happen to think Capes are a must-have essential for pregnancy, postpartum and beyond. Capes are an essential closet staple for any mama, as they can cover a pregnant belly and keep her warm, transition you to postpartum life (hides all the bumps and lumps), and they make a fantastic breastfeeding cover!

All Capes are handmade in the USA by artisans from around the world. They would make a perfect gift for a new mom, or even your own mother or mother-in-law (as a nice thank you for letting you sleep!).

You can find Satao’s Keeper on their website and Instagram.

Spring Nursing-Friendly Fashion for the Stylish Mama

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

As soon as the temperature goes up and the heavy winter coats come off, it’s time to shop for your new Spring wardrobe! As a breastfeeding mom, it can sometimes be tricky to find nursing-friendly clothing which also feels light and pretty for Spring. Here are some of our favorite picks for Spring style for nursing moms – these can easily be worn to work, date night, hanging with your friends, or just to run errands!

Maia Moda, founded by a mom and aims to create effortless style for the modern nursing mother – we love their modern lines and crisp looks for work – plus, their pieces are designed with nursing and pumping moms in mind, and are made from super soft fabric which is also stain and wrinkle resistant! See more about Maia Moda in our effortless nursing style guide.

Maia Top: The IT piece every nursing mama should have in her closet. The discreet lift-up nursing access at the front and built in modesty cover makes a seamless transition into your new mom wardrobe. The relaxed fit offers plenty of room for comfort and style.  The fabric is a luxuriously soft and lightweight poly that doesn’t wrinkle, is easy to care for and dries quickly. This versatile tank can be worn with a well-cut blazer or cardigan for a day at the office or paired with skinny jeans and sandals for easy, everyday style. Shown here in their classic black, but also available in navy and their signature camo print.

Gaia Dress: Effortlessly stylish, the Gaia Maternity / Nursing Dress will make an elegantly versatile addition to your wardrobe.  The modesty layer allows for discrete on-the- go nursing with lift-up access at the front.  Designed with a relaxed fit, the elastic waist gives the dress shape in all the right places and flexibility to a mother’s changing body. Slip it on with sandals for an easy Sunday morning stroll or glam it up with earrings and a fabulous heel for an evening out. This is a day to night winner! We love it here in the coral, it’s dressy enough to wear to your next wedding with your little one in tow.

Rhea Top: The Rhea Blouse is a modern blouse to compliment any mother’s silhouette.   Available in a stunning classic blue, it will be the pop of color needed to welcome spring. The V shaped neckline with beautiful bunching at the the shoulder and a modern 3/4 length sleeve directs your vision to all the right places.   The signature modesty panel is built for discrete nursing and easy pumping.

Allette creates gorgeous and unique pieces, very much flattering for every body, which are all super nursing-friendly. Founded by two moms, they created Allette for moms who love clothes and do not want to compromise their style when they’re breastfeeding. Each unique Brooklyn-made style is comfortable, flattering, easy to care for, and pretty cute, too! We’re swooning over their new Spring dresses for date-nights and brunches with your mama friends. You can read more about Allette here, too.

Donna Midi Nursing Dress: The midi dress of all midi dresses. It flows, it moves, it flatters. Not only will this dress make you feel like a pretty lil’ thing but it is beyond comfortable and does not wrinkle. Amaze. Sleeveless to keep you cool through those sunny months (and hot flashes!). White lining creates the discreet nursing underlayer and adds dimension to the look. And we just love the blue and white stripes – perfect for a day out on your yacht. Or your balcony. Pair with bold-colored open-toe flats for a neighborhood walk or block heels to the office or that weekend party.

Denyse Nursing Dress: You’ll never want to take this flowy dress off! Loose and lovely, this ultra modern double v-neck dress features a gathered skirt that truly compliments, literally, everyone. Detailed with cuffed sleeves, this all in-one dress is feminine and edgy. The perfect (nursing) little black dress. Try it with gladiator sandals or cute flats for a day in the park or high-heeled sandals and standout jewelry for an evening get-together with friends.

Naomi Ruffled Nursing Dress: Allette’s flirtiest dress yet. A little bit shorter. A little bit ruffled. A little bit of a plunged V-neck. But nothing too wild, Mamas. This is a family business. Feel as lovely as you’ll look wearing this super flattering style. The hidden elastic waistline allows you to wear it drop-waist or higher up for a very forgiving gathered effect. A double skirt and a little ruffle at the sleeves polish this super feminine staple. Mama is looking good! And that print. Like an actual, real, pretty dress. Wear it with slingbacks to the park or blocked heels for that uber-important business meeting to pump just before.
