IKEA Kids Picks on Amazon

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

We have some earth-shattering news for you all: Ikea is now on Amazon. What!? To be clear, not every (or even close to every) item from Ikea is on Amazon, but a lot of the smaller, easy-to-ship items are available on Amazon, and with Prime, it’s free shipping. And yes, this is amazing news all around, because while we love Ikea and their meatballs (and ice cream), it’s almost undeniable that an Ikea trip with a little one in tow is going to end in disaster (just ask our friend Jordan Reid about that one). So, cuddle up in your pajamas and start shopping at Ikea from the comfort of your own home. Here are some of our top picks you can order on Amazon right now!

CIRKUSTÄLT Children’s tent; IKEA Children’s Kids Table & 2 Chairs Set Furniture; Ikea MALA Easel; IKEA BEKVAM Wooden Utility Step; Flisat Children’s Book Display; Forsiktig Children’s Stool

The IKEA Poäng chair is a budget pick of ours for a comfortable chair for the nursery. It’s neutral in color (comes in a few colors), easy to match in any room of the house when you’re done with it in the nursery, and really good for a parent’s back as they rock and bounce a baby to sleep.

Prairie Mama’s Baby Registry

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

We’re so excited to be featuring a Prairie Mama’s Registry curated by the amazingly lovely Stephanie Janz (@pocketfulofacorns). This Canadian mama of five lives life simply in the Canadian prairies and is here to share her top baby picks for a prairie mama and baby.

As a mother of five you learn a few things on the way. One lesson I have learned is that it is easier to get by with less. Less clothes, less stuff in general. With your first you can be bombarded by all the “must have lists”. And most of them have way too many things on them. When I got pregnant with my fifth, I really wanted to keep things simple. I bought him a simple wardrobe. Actually, everything he owns fits into one drawer. Despite keeping his clothes simple I love baby shoes! Sweet N Swag have adorable shoes that are adorable, affordable, and stay on! I also have a weakness for bonnets. I have a beautiful linen one for him from @aibileenandbabygirl. It’s light weight, but keeps his head warm too.

I partnered up with Gugu Guru to come up with my “simple prairie life” registry. Let me break it down for you.

First you need a place to sleep your baby. Whether or not you co-sleep, you need somewhere to sleep your baby during the day. I have a simple Moses basket where he sleeps during the day, when he lets me put him down! At night he starts out in his bassinet, then usually end up with me. Later when he grows out of it, I have a super simple crib from IKEA. You really don’t need the fanciest crib. For sleeping I have always swaddled my babies. They feel secure and sleep better. So some great muslin swaddles are a must! Lulujo Baby have super soft muslin swaddles. I love them.

Second you need some way of transporting your baby. I use a Graco car seat that goes up to 35lbs. I like to rear face my babies as long as I can. In the prairies you need a stroller with big wheels. There aren’t many paved roads around where I live and you need to have something that you can actually push around. So a good jogging stroller is a must for our family.

I also love baby wearing. It’s a life saver when out and about. Also great for at home. I can get little jobs done and he will often nap on me too. Win win. On my ring sling, I usually have a soother clip attached to keep it handy, and clean for when he needs it. I have a leather braided one from @madelines.box.

So there you have it! It really is possible to live simply with babies and children. I have found that it makes life a more simpler and easier to keep up with. And I need all the time I can get spending it with my family!

Registry Essentials: Multi-Use Baby Products

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Often times when creating a registry, a new parent wants products which serve many purposes. Since babies only use certain products for a short period of time, it’s important that the items have multiple uses, especially because in some cases, these products take up room in the house. Today’s guest post is from the lovely mamas at Baby Bailey Mama Drama who tried out three different products and demonstrated all the different ways the items could be used. The items they chose to try out are registry must-haves: a diaper bag, nursing pillow, and breastfeeding cover. 

coveredgoodsbb

Covered Goods, the original four-in-one nursing cover:

This cover is amazing!  The cover is breathable.  We are always scared of Kennedy suffocating so it’s nice to know it’s breathable.  Kennedy loves taking naps with it.  When she is laying down, we can use it as a blanket.  When she is in the wrap on us, we will drape it over the top of her head.  She loves the feeling of the cover against her skin.  When she started daycare, we left the cover there with our smell on it to help her transition to her new surroundings.  We use it when we go out to eat.  This cover goes over the high chair and instantly because something soft for your baby touch.  The cover goes with us to grocery store and covers up the cold metal of the shopping cart, making this a comfy environment for our daughter.  This cover is used in multiple ways.  With two women in our house, someone is always using a Covered Goods nursing cover for one of these many things.

shugabb

Shuga Bebe Couture Nursing Pillow:

Shuga Bebe Couture makes breastfeeding easier.  The Shuga Bebe is just the right height for breastfeeding whereas some pillows are too low and require you to use your arms, or something else, to lift the pillow and baby higher.  The Shuga Bebe is also an amazing pillow to rest your head on.  We find ourselves laying on the rug in Kennedy’s room using the Shuga Bebe as a pillow.  We also use this as a back pillow when we sit against the wall in her nursery.  It’s really comfy!  Kennedy still hasn’t mastered sitting up on her own so we use the pillow to support her.  This is great for when she is playing with toys and she wants to sit up.  There is also a handy handle on it too to make it easy to carry around the house or take it on vacation.  Did I mention the cover coves off and is machine washable?  All baby products should be, but some are not.  This cover is machine washable. 

skiphop

Skip Hop Highline Convertible Diaper Bag:

This baby bag is stylish and convenient.  The bag has great organizing pouches and comes with a changing pad.  It also converts into a backpack!  This is great when we have Kennedy and we want both arms free to use.  Katie and I trade off using it for work because it looks so professional.  When we go out with Kennedy, it doesn’t look like we are carrying a diaper bag.  It looks like we are carrying a nice purse or a fashionable backpack.  No one thinks we actually carry baby items in this bag because of its amazing look.

Sustainable Nursery – Save Vs. Splurge

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Having a baby in the age of environmental guilt is a daunting task. You want to buy all the right things to create the safest, healthiest, and most planet-friendly environment for your newborn. But can you afford it? From the author of Spit That Out! The Overly Informed Parent’s Guide to Raising Healthy Kids in the Age of Environmental Guilt, here is Paige Wolf’s advice on when to splurge and how to save.

SPLURGE: Mattress

With the growing knowledge of phthalates, VOCs, and toxic flame retardants in conventional mattresses, new parents are increasingly interested in organic mattresses for their babies and children. After all, babies and young children spend at least half their time in bed! Unfortunately, without proper knowledge, you might find yourself buying a fake organic mattress. Since greenwashing knows no limits –and no government agency regulates the labeling of mattresses as “organic” or “natural” several companies label their mattresses ‘organic’ when they are technically not. Look for certifications by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and GREENGUARD®.

Gugu Recommended: Naturepedic Mattresses

SAVE: Bedding

Organic cotton sheets and pillowcases are more accessible and affordable than ever. Big box stores like Target sell 100% organic cotton bedding for as low as $9.99 for a crib sheet.

Gugu Recommended: Burt’s Bees Organic Crib Sheets

SPLURGE: Crib

Due to changing safety standards, cribs are often not a safe secondhand bet. New crib safety standards took effect in June 2011 and made most cribs sold before that date technically unsafe. And cheap cribs made from pressed wood products such as particle board, plywood and fiberboard (or MDF) typically contain VOCs as well as formaldehyde in the glues and adhesives used to bond the particles together. Though hard wood is more expensive, it’s usually durable, making it a solid investment (bearing of course crib standards don’t change again!)

Gugu Recommended: Micuna Cribs

SAVE: Bed, Dresser, and Other Furnishings

When it comes to other nursery furnishings, secondhand can be a fantastic way to save money and reduce consumption. Parents are constantly selling – and even giving away – gently used furnishings on CraigsList, local parent message boards, and even Buy Nothing Project Facebook Groups. We got our son’s convertible IKEA twin bed for $20 on Craigslist and a beautifully made wooden bed for our daughter for a steal from a neighborhood group. Just keep an eye out for anything too vintage, which could be a lead paint hazard. If you are unsure, pick up a lead testing kit for about $7.

SPLURGE: Paint

This really isn’t too much of a splurge, because no-VOC (volatile organic compound) paint is now available from most major brands with a minimal premium – especially if you are just doing one room. VOC vapors can continue to leak into the air long after the paint is dry, so it’s not something you want a baby or pregnant woman exposed to.

Gugu Recommended: Lullaby Paints

SAVE: Clothing/Layette

I don’t care how precious that designer onesie is. It will get one-to-two wears at best before it is completely destroyed. In fact, you will be lucky if it lasts an hour. Take advantage of your community and accept all the hand-me-downs you can get. While it may not always be organic, hand-me-down clothing that has been washed several times has less residue from dyes and flame retardants. If you don’t have easy access to hand-me-downs from a close family member, explore online community groups where parents offer up gently used clothing for cheap and even for free!

When Smartphones Meet Smartpumps

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

By Wendy Colson RN, IBCLC

Ever since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was implemented in the United States in 2012, breast pumps are becoming commonplace after a baby is born. The number of breast pump manufacturers continues to grow now that most private health insurances cover and provide a double electric pump under the ACA. But, there is still a need for retail breast pumps too.

Some of the reasons why a mom might still need to purchase a breastpump after receiving an insurance issued pump are:

  1. The insurance­ issued pump she receives is not compatible with her breasts and/or lifestyle.
  2. She prefers to own two separate pumps­ leaving one at work and one at home to make working and breastfeeding easier when returning to work.
  3. The breast pump she was issued from insurance stops working and is out of warranty.

Luckily, there are a lot more choices when it comes to purchasing a personal double electric breastpump. One of the newest pumps emerging on the market is the Lansinoh® SmartPump Double Electric Breast Pump. This new breast pump is the first to combine some of the most efficient and convenient features found on today’s personal breast pumps and gives it a modern twist by blending them with Bluetooth technology. Lansinoh Smartpump Double Electric Breast Pump’s integration with Bluetooth via its free app could make pumping more suitable for the millions of moms who choose to pump while breastfeeding.

61l1z01tzKL._SX522_

The features which stood out in my opinion as a board certified lactation consultant are as follows:

  • Closed­ system:­ This technology minimizes milk from backing up in the tubing. Having the motor sealed decreases the chance of bacteria and other organisms entering the pump’s motor, which is often unknown to the mother.
  • Modern design:­ No knobs to turns; just easy and precise push buttons.
  • Let­Down Button:­ Moms have been conditioned and want at the push of a button to have a pump mimic the change in speed and suction during a let­down and expressions phases.
  • Separate Speed and Suction Function:­ The Lanisinoh Smartpump allows for each mom to customize and maximize how she pumps. There are three Pumping Styles built in to choose from to try to mimic how her baby suckles from the breast or, at the push of a button, a mom can choose to customize her setting even more choosing up to eight levels of suction.
  • Compact Size: ­Thankfully the big and bulky pumps are less common within the new generation of breastpumps. Battery powered is optional because today’s mamas are on the go!
  • Clock/Timer­:  Losing track of time is easy to do with pumping since most moms I know are pumping hands­free and become distracted on their phones.
  • Backlight­: Useful to have because moms don’t just pump in the day hours.
  • Different Flange Sizes Included: Having variances in flange sizes included better assures an accurate fit, which results in increasing output and decreasing nipple trauma. Having sizing options included prevents injury from having to use the incorrect size until a mom has time to go shopping.
  • Cost­: The $199.99 MRSP is a good price point for a retail pump. The free app which connects automatically is what makes this pump so unique.
  • Lansinoh Baby App:­ Compatible with both iPhones and Androids. Can be connected prior to connecting to your pump to track the necessary data used when determining how well lactation is going such as output from diapers including color of stools, tracking feeding frequency, and duration. The best feature is it can be downloaded and shared with your lactation consultant and pediatrician to provide a thorough history. Gone are all those messy handwritten charts parents show me!

Since my breastfeeding days are six years behind me, I enlisted the help of a few local breastfeeding moms to let me know how the new Lansinoh® Smartpump Double Electric Breast Pump feels and functions compared to their current electric breastpump they were using. Disclosure: Lansinoh provided pumps to these two mothers for trial, but all opinions are our own.

Tester #1: ­ Mother of two; ages 3 years and 2 months. Breastfeeds exclusively, but works full­time. Has a flexible work environment and can bring her newborn to work with her on most days. She represents the “occasional pumper”.  She pumps for breastmilk to be given by bottle by her spouse or caregiver due to work, date nights, and errands done without baby.

Pros

  • Suction­ “I could only stand the lowest setting which was strange because I usually have to turn my pump to the highest setting.”
  • Speed­ Tester 1 used Pumping Style Two, which is the default setting. “It felt faster, but I have never recorded my minutes before. The app made it effortless to know how long it takes me to pump. That was cool!”
  • Comfort­ “I used the standard size flange, and they fit the same as my previous ones. If I kept the suction at the lowest setting it felt comparable to my former pump’s highest setting.”
  • Ease of Use­ “I perused through the instruction manual before trying because I had never used a pump with separate speed and suction controls. I just turned it on, starting to let­down, and pumped. The first setting was perfect for me.”
  • Amount Pumped­ same as her previous pump
  • Favorite Lansinoh Baby App Features­ The pump automatically connects when turning on your pump making record keeping easy to do.

Cons

  • Small ice pack which doesn’t fit around the storage bottles in the cooler. Added second ice pack in cooling bag.
  • “Wish the pump parts which I already own (I have tons) are compatible.”

Would you recommend? “Yes, it has it all!  The app has things on it you can use if not pumping yet. I would suggest a new mom download the app while still pregnant because learning to pump and playing with the app was another step.”

 

Tester # 2­­: First ­time mom, 7 month old; Exclusively Pumping (EP) mom who is a stay at home mom. Pumps 5-­7 times per day and exclusively bottle feeds + solids using only her expressed breastmilk.

Pros
● Suction­ “It felt stronger which had me questioning if my current pump is wearing out from using it so much. Eight suction levels is a nice feature.”
● Speed­ “I used all three pump styles. I found each one to be good for the different fullness in my breast. I prefered Pumping Style 2 which is standard. However, when I’m fuller in the mornings, I then prefered Pumping Style 1 because it’s faster; removing more milk once I begin to let­down.”
● Comfort­ “I am so use to pumping, it never hurts me! This pump is about the same as my current pump.”
● Ease of Use “I cleaned the parts, assembled and just pumped! The automatic shut off feature is useful since I often would forget to turn off my pump when I was done while storing my milk.”
● Amount Pumped­ “I use to get about the same as my older pump, but now that I am more familiar with this pump I average 2­-3 more ounces per day.”
● Favorite Lansinoh Baby App Feature­ “It replaced my previous baby app since it can do all that and more. I love that it automatically records when I pump by simply turning on the pump. I use both the bottlefeeding and diaper count feature too.”

Cons
● “I use this pump now in place of my current pump, but If I had to change give one thing about this pump it would be the size of the outside diameter of the flange (purple rubber part) and the fact it’s made out of rubber. This part is wider than my last pump and I had to cut the holes in my hands­free bra bigger because the rubber doesn’t slide in and out as easily. I wish it were plastic instead.”

Would you recommend? “Yes”

In America, breastpumps have become synonymous with breastfeeding. In fact, North America was the largest market with more than 63% share in global breast pump market. (1) While most lactation professionals agree that pumping more than your baby actually needs to gain a freezer “stash” is both unnecessary, could cause an over­supply which has health implications, and is too time consuming for the average breastfeeding mother. Breastpumps are vital items if you are one of the 70% (2) of moms who return back to the workforce after childbirth. Also, each year the initiation of breastfeeding rates continue to climb. Today’s moms are choosing to breastfeed longer compared to just a few years ago because of the increases in education and support which continue to improve. Pumping is imperative for the working mom obviously, but also the mom who only pumps regardless of work status. Exclusive Pumpers (EPs) are a population that is growing. These moms rely heavily on a breast pump’s features to be successful.

Thankfully, these moms and others have options when choosing their personal double electric breastpumps like the Lansinoh® Smartpump Double Electric Breast Pump.

Whether it’s gear, clothing or nursery decor, the team at Gugu Guru knows for sure that you don’t have to spend a mint to have high quality, stylish products for mom & baby.  Here, our stylish economical On The Go gear picks:

Urbini Omni 3-in-1 Travel System

Urbini Omni 3-in-1 Travel System

 

 

The Omni 3-in-1 system from newcomer Urbini is a stylish, good quality option at a really great price.  Its sleek modern design is similar to some of the pricier prams out there so you can look good without the sticker shock. Plus, we’ve been impressed that the product exceeds industry safety ratings — proving that you don’t have to sacrifice peace of mind just because you’re paying less. Oh, and if you’d like a jogger instead so you can get back to your weekend runs with baby in tow, check out their Avi system.

Infantino Flip Front 2 Back Carrier

Infantino Flip Front 2 Back Carrier, Black

It’s not just the price tag that makes parents so happy with this Infantino Flip Front 2 Back Carrier (though admittedly that’s a big reason).  The Infantino Flip Front 2 Back Carrier has been put to test and compared with some of the best and most popular carriers out there and manages to exceed all expectations.  We love the three carrying positions that grow with your baby; the extra padded straps for your baby-wearing comfort and; the breathable mesh fabric so baby is safe and sound.

Baby Cargo Georgi Bag

Baby Cargo Georgi Bag

 

It’s no secret that we’re huge fans of Baby Cargo and their smart line of affordable and stylish gear.  We’ve blogged about them a few times – especially the Georgi bag, a cult favorite. These bags come in a variety of fashion-forward hues (shown here in Moonless Night/Teal).  What we love most about this line is that it’s where fashion meets function. Slide the grommets of the bag over your umbrella stroller handles or use the strap snaps to clip on to your stroller bar.
