Things can get busy with a newborn and there is no doubt moms already have their hands full. From their own postpartum care to baby’s care and maintaining some semblance of balance within their home, the last thing any mom needs is something else that’s going to require them to be hands-on. Now imagine if they could pump breastmilk completely hands-free or nurse with ease?
Kindred Bravely created their Hands-Free Pumping Bras with the busy mom in mind. Their all-in-one bra offers multiple layers of comfort with its soft nylon, polyester, and spandex blend that is gentle on both mom’s and the baby’s skin. The innovative EasyClip system has one clip for the pumping layer of the bra and another for the nursing layer, allowing moms to unclip each layer separately so they can breastfeed and pump at the same time without issue.
The Kindred Bravely Hands-Free Bras are designed to fit all standard breast pump flanges, such as Medela, Evenflo, Philips Avent, Lansinoh, Motif, Hygeia, Freemie, Willow, and Spectra, so there’s no need to remove the bra while pumping. Best of all? The bra fits snuggly over the flanges to prevent spilling milk. Moms can pump while going about their tasks with peace of mind. The bra is fitted with a thin layer of padding to ensure there is no restriction to the flow of breastmilk when pumping and this padding can be removed if needed.
Comfort is a top priority for the Kindred brand and they delivered in this design. In addition to the extremely soft fabric, the stretchy material of the Kindred Bra fits your postpartum body and is ideal for all-day wear. The straps are fully adjustable making it easy for you to find the right fit for your comfort. The Hook-and-Eye closure makes it easy to put on or take off, giving busy moms one less thing to struggle with throughout the day. They offer a wide range of sizes from S – XXL, with busty options, fitting sizes 30B-44I, and all sizes come with a bra extender so moms can adjust to their body’s changes during pregnancy and postpartum.
Kindred Bravely bras can be hand-washed with a gentle detergent or washed in a lingerie bag on a delicate cycle in the washing machine then line dried. Lucky for moms, there’s no underwire to be concerned about when machine-washing. They do advise wearing breast pads in order to avoid stains, especially when using ointments or lanolin products. For moms who are concerned about leaking, Kindred Bravely also offers Ultra Absorbent Reusable Nursing Pads that can be worn with their bras.
There’s so much to adjust to with a newborn – from coping with this great change to navigating breastfeeding and keeping on top of your daily tasks. With Kindred Bravely Hands-Free Pumping Bra, multitasking like a mother can be done in comfort! As a bonus, moms get 20% off their first purchase with the coupon code – GUGUGURU20.

High chairs are convenient for keeping your baby safe and your kitchen a little less dirty. Not all high chairs are created equal, though. These chairs come with a variety of different features, some of which can make your baby more comfortable and make cleaning easier. With the right high chair, mealtime can become a lot less stressful. You can spend less time on clean up and more time taking care of your baby. A quality high chair won’t only make parents’ lives easier, but also supports baby’s feeding development. Of the many high chairs available, the newest the best one on the market is the Boon GRUB High Chair ($149). Below are the top six features of the GRUB High Chair that will make you fall in love with this seat and never look back.
When it comes to feeding your baby, you need a high chair that is easy to clean. The ability to quickly and easily clean your toddler’s chair is one of the most important features because let’s be honest – babies make a mess. The Boon High Chair makes cleaning as easy as possible with a detachable, dishwasher-safe seat and tray. You can remove the seat after a particularly messy meal and either rinse the chair under the sink or run it through the dishwasher depending on what you prefer. The quick and easy clean-up will save you a whole lot of time and give you fewer headaches moving forward. Plus, you’ll no longer dread dinner time.
A plastic high chair is easy to clean, but not particularly comfortable. That’s why the GRUB High Chair comes with a seat pad that will make your baby’s mealtimes more enjoyable. This isn’t just any seat pad, however, it’s a wipeable cushion. The Boon company understands the importance of easy clean-up, so all you have to do is pick up the seat cushion and wipe it off to remove any stray bits of food.
Toddlers manage to squirm their way out of various restraints, which is why the Boon High Chair is equipped with a 5-point harness. The five points will securely keep your baby in place, so you don’t have to worry about any accidents occurring.
The GRUB High Chair is not a short-term seat for your baby. This chair is made for six-month-olds all the way up to six years old. The adjustable footrest can move down as your toddler grows. The chair legs can also be adjusted to accommodate table height and eventually to act as a regular chair for your child.
It’s always hard to find a bib when you need one, which is why the Boon High Chair comes with an integrated storage hook conveniently located on the back of the seat. You can hang a bib or burp rag from the hook so one is always handy during meals and other messy moments.
Finally – for those minimalist parents who love longevity in their products, the Boon GRUB High Chair converts into a toddler chair for extended use – up to 50 pounds.
If you’re on the market for a new high chair, be sure to check out the new Boon GRUB. Available now in White with the charcoal chair available at the end of May 2021.

How Can You Establish Healthy Food Preferences Early In Your Baby’s Life?
The Multi-Cooker Baby Food Cookbook Review
Breastfeeding is a wonderful opportunity to transfer healthy enzymes and beneficial antibodies to your baby. For working moms, or mom with a busy schedule, however, it’s not always possible to breastfeed for every feeding. Luckily, breast pumps are the perfect tool for increasing your milk supply and storing your baby’s food for later use. One of the biggest challenges, though, is choosing the right breast pump for your needs. Pumps come in a wide variety of options from manual pumps and battery-operated options to single-electric and double-electric varieties. To make your choice easy, we’ve found the single best breast pump out there for busy moms in 2021: Motif Luna.
The Motif Luna Pump is now available in a battery-powered version for more freedom and flexibility. Better yet, Luna is covered by most insurance plans! In a recent comparison test conducted by C+R Research, 5 out of 6 moms got more milk in less time with the Luna. For busy moms, this is a game-changing, time-saving pump. So much so that, 9 out of 10 moms preferred the Luna over their current pump.
When you’re busy, you don’t have 30 minutes or more to sit quietly and pump. You need a quick option that is efficient and easily portable. Luna is incredibly light. At just 2 pounds, it’s one of the lightest desktop pumps on the market. The Luna’s sleek, oval shape fits in almost any type of day bag or travel case so you can take it with you to work or wherever you’re headed on the go.
The Luna is a double pump that lets you quickly pump both breasts at the same time to cut your pumping time in half. You no longer have to take extended breaks at work, and you can even use the Luna Pump during your commute as the battery lasts 2+ hours between charges. Now your drive can be spent preparing dinner for your baby instead of sitting in traffic with sore breasts.
Another benefit of this pump is the quiet motor. Maybe a loud motor makes you feel self-conscious when you pump at work, or maybe you just don’t like a loud whirring noise in your ear for 15 minutes. Either way, the Luna Pump is known for its quiet 43-decibel hum that won’t rattle your nerves or wake your sleeping baby.
If you’re ready to get the perfect pump for your busy lifestyle, then order the Motif Luna Pump now.

Is anyone else guilty of extra impulse shopping this year? We at Gugu Guru are more than responsible for a few late-night purchases. Add in the critically acclaimed and multi-Emmy® Award-winning show Shark Tank, and it’s so easy to be convinced to hit buy now on all of the innovative products they feature!
However, sometimes buying blindly from TV for your baby can be tricky, as you don’t get to actually touch the product or see if it’s something that you and your little one will love. To help, we have compiled a list of our favorite baby products from Shark Tank that we’ve tried and know you will adore too.
First up, is one of the newest Shark Tank baby products, the Busy Baby Mat. This mat has everything you could need to keep your little one engaged without having their toys end up on the floor. Stop the constant cycle of the “toddler toss” aka picking things up, rinsing them off, only to give them back to babe, and repeat.
This mat is made with food-grade silicone, meaning it’s safe for your baby to chew, and safe for you to throw it right in the dishwasher to get it clean and sanitized. The non-slip suction allows you to stick the mat to any flat surface, giving your little one hours of fun. With the silicone mat straps, it attaches to almost any toy and keeps a tight hold to keep the toys off the floor. The best part is that it’s easy to take on the go. Even if you’re an active, busy parent, the silicone mat and toy straps can be rolled up and stuck into the fabric sleeve provided, which fits into almost any diaper bag. Make sure to also check out the newest Busy Baby product, the teething and training spoon.
Squid Socks, are the socks that stick to your kiddos’ feet without any hassle. These are hands-down the best baby socks we’ve tried! They are great for any mama whose little one is constantly taking off their socks or for kiddos who have chunkier feet that socks never seem to stay on. These socks have ‘squiddy dots’ that hold the socks onto all little ones’ feet. This super affordable and cute choice will have you wondering why you didn’t think of this idea. Never have missing socks in the car or crib, again.
Dreamland Baby Co., offers the best quality weighted sleep sacks on the market. The tranquil colors help babies achieve the best sleep while keeping them safe in those first months of life. Dreamland is the only company with Cover Comfort Technology designed to help babies fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Created by a fellow mama who couldn’t find a weighted blanket that her baby could wear, she came up with this product that is guaranteed to be safe for sleeping babies.
These are just a few of the innovative products on the market for your little one. All of these Shark Tank featured options have been designed with your little one in mind by parents who saw a need and invented something to help!
