Baby Style Find: Lark Adventurewear

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

-Sponsored Post-

Now that it’s summer, parents love to get outside with their little ones as much as possible; however, it’s not always easy to figure out what your baby should wear in the heat, right? We’re excited to introduce you to Lark Adventurewear – activewear for babies!

You can find Lark Adventurewear on their website, Facebook, Instagram. 

Lark Adventurewear is the first and only activewear brand created for active parents and adventurous babies. Founded by an active new mom that wanted to enjoy the outdoors, but was frustrated that regular cotton baby clothes would leave her little one sticky, sweaty and uncomfortable while she was dry in her own workout gear. Like most inventors, she knew there had to be a better way, so she figured it out herself!

Lark Adventurewear is devoted to keeping infants and toddlers sweat-free, cool, protected and happy so that they (and you) can enjoy each day to the fullest. Their mission is to make quality baby clothes that can easily endure the daily life of an active infant or toddler — from the sandbox to a birthday party to dinner with the grandparents– wash and repeat. They believe in quality over quantity… and baby clothing is no exception. Lark Adventurewear is functional, fashionable, environmentally friendly, and totally safe for your little one’s sensitive skin. Getting outside is a great way to spend quality time with the whole family. We make baby clothes so parents and babies can stay active and explore the world around them in comfort.

Adult activewear is made with synthetic fabrics and chemical finishes in order to create moisture wicking properties. These synthetic fabrics and chemicals aren’t something anyone would want for your baby’s delicate skin. Lark Adventurewear has developed a proprietary natural, eco-friendly moisture wicking fabric. Using capillary action and benefits inherent to the natural fabrics they have chosen (cotton and bamboo), moisture is drawn away from a baby’s sensitive skin. Their activewear is Oeko-Tex® 100 Certified, whose standards ensure that our fabric is made with environmentally friendly processing. Lark Adventurewear also features easy-open tops and bottom-to-top zippers to make clothing and diaper changes as easy as possible. If you’re heading on an adventure with baby, be sure to stock up on Lark Adventurewear today! This also makes a perfect baby shower gift for an adventurous mama.

Need some tips for getting outdoors with baby? Head to this post to find out why we’re loving the BabyBjorn for hikes with baby. Plus, Summer Travel must have items for traveling with baby.

Thank you to Lark Adventurewear for making this sponsored post possible.

Gugu Concierge: Top Father’s Day Picks

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Not sure where to start in shopping for the new dad or dad-to-be in your life? We asked our team of Gugu Concierge Baby Planners and Maternity Consultants to share their Top Picks for Father’s Day.

Latina Baxter, Marley Moo, Houston, TX
Oioi Men’s Wax Canvas Satchel Diaper Bag: This diaper bag is not only stylish and water-resistant, but can do double duty as a laptop bag.

Jessica Zablan, The Birth and Baby Co., Boise, ID
Beebo Hands Free Bottle Holder: Whether feeding pumped breast milk or formula, the Beebo frees up dad’s hands to read a book or cuddle baby closer!

Victoria Facelli, Durham Lactation, Durham, NC
Boba Air Baby Carrier: Packs down tiny, can get wet (and dries super fast), and is just such a fun weekend adventure baby carrier.

 

Kimmie Johnson, Your Milk Shoppe, Chicago, IL
Amber Michels, Your Milk Shoppe, Greenville, SC
Wet Shave Club Membership: Keep your man stocked up on razors, shaving cream, and various shaving accoutrements! In the early days of new parenthood, it can be hard to keep on top of everything. Wet Shave Club delivers everything dad needs each month right to your doorstep.

 

Valerie Trumbower, Nurturing Doula, Bucks County, PA
Fisher-Price Soothing River Luxury Calming Vibrations Tub: New dads often have a hard time navigating exactly what their role is, especially if mom is breastfeeding. Bath time can become a special time for dad and baby to spend time together while giving mom a much needed break. This tub can be used for newborns through toddlers and the vibrations are so calming.

 

Honorable Mentions:

Julie McCaffrey, BabyNav Baby Planners, NY, NY
Mission Critical Baby Carrier: This is an easy-to-use structured carrier for dads with a design they will love and features they will totally appreciat,e such as a removable and washable liner, MOLLE attachments on the front and back, and accessories that will keep him hands free.

Kimmie Johnson, Your Milk Shoppe, Chicago, IL
Amber Michels, Your Milk Shoppe, Greenville, SC
Peppa Pig “Best Daddy” Shirt: This is the season a lot of dad’s are in and we think they’ll get a kick out of this!

Ashley Akselband, Westfield, NJ
Baby K’tan Active: While many men opt for a “manly” baby carrier, I always recommend getting a wrap as well. I love the Baby K’Tan – not only is it an inexpensive alternative to a standard carrier, it’s portable (throw it in a backpack or an overnight bag), and it really helps men bond with their babies by keeping them close. The best part – it’s super easy use! Rather than wraps with feet of fabric, this slips on similarly to a t-shirt. Plus, the breathable material wicks away moisture.

Hot Dad Gift Guide: Creating Memorable Moments With Dad

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

With Father’s Day around the corner, we wanted to put together a gift guide to help pick out the perfect gift for all the dads in your life – especially all of those new dadas! We teamed up with actor (and new dad) Ryan Cooper from the almost released movie Rough Night to celebrate making memories with dads and their babies – plus, we spoke to Brian the Birth Guy about great ways dads and babies can bond, so read on for more!

Rad Dad Box: What a better gift for a new dad than to celebrate how rad they are with a monthly box dedicated to them? Rad Dad Box was created and founded by a new mom who felt that all of the new baby gifts were geared towards moms, and dads needed some gift-loving too. The Rad Dad Box is a monthly subscription box containing items to support new dads and their children. We include self-care products, such as soap, deodorant, and hand sanitizer, dad-themed books and apparel, and dad-approved toys and products for baby. Rad Dad Box curates items from small shops for dads of all kinds! They offer month-to-month, 3, and 6-month subscription plans, as well as a variety of one-time boxes in their online store. If you don’t want to commit to a subscription box, Rad Dad Box offers a plethora of thematic boxes, including boxes for the new dad, a Father’s Day box, a box for hipster dads, a box to fight the winter blues, and much more! Rad Dad Box is a really awesome way to celebrate fatherhood and shower a new dad with gifts, they can even customize boxes, as well.

You can find Rad Dad Box on their website, Facebook, and Instagram. 

Being a dad is all about making memories, even from the very beginning. Brian the Birth guy recommends dads “make a recording welcoming their baby and telling him/her all of the things he loves about mom and why they started a family. Talk about all the things they hope their baby gets to experience. They can talk about making mistakes and how they know it is a growth thing […] When your child gets older and experiences hardships and trials, give the recording to them so they know how wanted and loved they are. It can restore their sense of purpose.”

However you choose to make memories of baby and dad, we love Pearhead for all of their wonderful products to savor those memorable moments. Pearhead has a huge variety of items to capture all the moments in life, whether big or small. If you’re particularly looking for Father’s Day gifts, we think a My Dad, My Hero Mug for his coffee is the perfect gift from a little tot to his papa. And, you can’t go wrong with a picture frame; what dad doesn’t want a “We Have a Hero, We Call Him Daddy” frame? If you’re looking for a way to remember the moment that your spouse became a dad, check out this hospital bracelet frame – it’s a perfect way to save the little hospital bracelet from your baby. Pearhead is known for their memory making gifts which can be easily personalized at home – even by the littlest of babies. A Newborn Baby Handprint and Footprint Photo Frame Kit is an easy way to capture your baby’s footprints and turn them into a special gift for a new dad. If you’re looking for a way to create special and customized gifts for dad, check out all of Pearhead’s frames, mugs, baby books, and more.

You can find Pearhead on their website, Facebook, and Instagram. 

As Brian the Birth Guy explains, dad and baby can bond begins even before baby is born, and directly afterwards, “Once baby is born, dad can cut the cord, help with breastfeeding and change baby after mom feeds. He can also skin to skin that sweet bundle of joy and sing a special song to his baby. Dads have such an important role in care of mom, baby and breastfeeding.  This can really help his psychological bonding with baby as he assumes a role of care for them both and even assists in breastfeeding.”

Top 5 Must-Have Essentials: Baby’s Nursery

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

-Sponsored Post-

We know that it can seem overwhelming to register for everything you may need for a baby; so, we’ve broken all the necessities down into your Top 5 Must Haves for every category you may need. Today we’re covering the Top 5 Must-Have Essentials for Baby’s Nursery – don’t forget to add them to your registry! Head to the bottom of the post for a handy checklist you can use to make sure you don’t forget any of these Top 5  Must-Have Essentials for Baby’s Nursery.

Crane Drop Humidifier: A humidifier is an essential item for any space which baby will be spending time and sleeping. The Drop Humidifiers from Crane feature a ultrasonic cool mist which increases moisture in the air for easier breathing and a good night’s sleep; whether it is in your bedroom, the living room, or baby’s room, wherever the family will spend time, or sleep, is a wonderful place to have a Drop Humidifier. It’s so important to have the right amount of humidity in bedrooms, as proper humidity relieves cough, cold, and flu symptoms, as well as nasal congestion, dry cough, sinus irritation, nose bleeds, and dry skin and hair. Furthermore, the clean control antimicrobial material in the base is proven to help reduce mold and bacteria growth up to 99.96%.

Blackout Curtains: Any new parent can tell you that babies sleep better when the room is pitch black; it takes babies a while to “figure out their days and nights,” and blackout curtains at night are an essential for helping baby sleep soundly. We’ve found that basic panel curtains are easy to install, come in a ton of colors, and really help keep the light out so baby can fall and stay asleep.

Baby Care by e–cloth® Safe Home Baby Care: It’s essential to keep a nursery clean and germ-free, but it can be very confusing for new parents to figure out what products to use to clean the nursery. We’re big fans of Baby Care by e–cloth®, because they are an amazing chemical-free way to keep your baby’s room clean. You know that clean smell in most places? The “clean” smell we’re used to are actually dangerous chemicals. 30% of childhood asthma is caused by exposure to chemicals in your home. And it starts with babyhood. The cloth is proven to remove over 99% of bacteria from a hard surface.  These cloths don’t kill bacteria, they collect bacteria from surfaces.  This is another benefit of all of those fibers – they literally scrape the surface clean at a microbial level.  The best part – when you run this cloth under hot water in your sink, all but .01% of that bacteria, dirt, oil and grease is released from the cloth down the sink.  So, there is virtually no transfer back onto clean surfaces. Keep your sweet little one’s nursery clean and toxin free by only cleaning with water. We’re big fans of Baby Care by e–cloth® – these mighty cleaning cloths are gentile, totally safe and remove 99.9% of all bacteria including e-coli and listeria.

Ubbi Diaper Pail: It’s essential to keep baby’s room free from disgusting smells, like diapers! The Ubbi Diaper Pail is made of powder-coated steel to achieve maximum odor control. It is equipped with rubber seals that are strategically designed to lock in odors as well as a sliding lid that minimizes air disruption, keeping the smell inside the pail. Offering a modern and sophisticated twist to a once very industrial product, the sleek Ubbi diaper pail includes a child-proof lock and is available in an array of 13 colors and 5 patterns. All the style and none of the smell — a promising solution for every nursery.

Little Giraffe Baby Blanket: What’s a nursery without a blanket to cuddle baby in? We think baby blankets are an essential for any nursery; even if your baby isn’t sleeping in their crib yet, we highly recommend spending time in the nursery to get them used to their space, and a soft blanket from Little Giraffe is a Must-Have item for your baby’s nursery. Their chenille baby blankets are incredibly soft and perfect for wrapping babies, toddlers, and kids up for a sweet snuggle. The Herringbone blanket pictured above comes in multiple colors and would make a great baby shower gift. However, Little Giraffe has a ton of blankets to choose from – in all different styles and colors – even polka dot and chenille with satin trim. Make sure you like the blanket, too, as many moms sleep with their baby’s blanket so it smells like mama!

Thank you to Ubbi, Crane, Little Giraffe, and E-Cloth for making this sponsored post possible.

Sleepytime Find: ergoPouch

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

-Sponsored Post-

Melbourne, Australia-based ergoPouch was founded in 2009 by Alina Sack.  As a mother, Sack drew on her own personal experiences of sleep deprivation to come up with innovative products designed to help babies and kids get a better night’s sleep.  The award-winning ergoPouch collection includes premium quality baby swaddles, sleeping bags and sleep suits available from birth to 6 years.  All ergoPouch products are made with natural fibers including Organic Cotton, Bamboo and Merino. ergoPouch products offer great functionality and versatility with swaddles that can easily transition to a sleeping bag, and sleep suits that convert from bags to suits with legs for easy use from bassinet to stroller.

You can find ergoPouch on their website, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. You can buy any of the ergoPouch sleep items at Babies R Us. 

The organic natural fibers that make up the ergoPouch are breathable and skin friendly, which keeps baby at an even and controlled temperature, unlike with polyester. ergoPouch offers a range of tog (warmth) ratings available to suit every temperature and every season, so you can pick the suits perfect for your baby at all times of the year. The .2 tog Ergococoon swaddle is designed to be easy to use and difficult to escape from! The simple zip up design will keep baby snug and securely swaddled without the need for complicated wrapping. For babies 0-4 months, the Ergococoon swaddles with arms in to contain natural startle reflex, and at 4-12 months transition from swaddle to sleep bag (arms out) with armhole poppers. The two way zipper makes diaper changes super easy, too!

ergoPouch Baby Sleeping Bags come in a range of fabrics and tog ratings to suit your little one – if you’re transitioning out of your ergoCocoon you might try a jersey sleeping bag. Made with organic cotton they have the same super soft feel as the ergoCocoon and come in size 8-24 months only. For a more luxurious feel, the organic cotton sheeting Sleeping Bags are made with 600+ thread count and organic cotton fillings. They have unique stretch inserts on the sides and shoulders to allow babies to move more freely and comfortably while they sleep.

For ages 2 years through six years, the award winning ergoPouch Sleep Suit converts from a Sleeping Bag to a Sleep Suit with legs using zippers – making the transition from crib to stroller or car an easy one. Like the Ergococoon Sleeping bags, ergoPouch Sleep Suit Bags are a safe way to keep baby warm without the need for extra blankets, which can place baby or child at an increase risk of SIDS. This is also a perfect choice for older babies and toddlers who like freedom of movement, with grip pads on the feet for little walkers.  The Sleep Suit Bag is made from a skin-friendly organic cotton outer layer with a breathable cotton filling.

Thank you to ergoPouch for making this post possible.

The Ultimate Travel Registry for Flying With an Infant

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Hey there, I’m Stephanie, blogger, wife and mama to a wild toddler boy and a little girl babe on the way. Our family loves to travel, whether it be for a new adventure or to visit family and friends, so we managed to rack up quite a few frequent flyer miles for our first born well before his first trip around the sun was complete. Considering his passport was stamped for the very first time at just 4 months old, I’ve managed to learn quite a few lessons about flying with an infant (and sadly, many of them were learned the hard way) and I can’t wait to share them with you. All of the recs and tidbits below are tried and tested by yours truly, so buckle up! You can follow our current adventures on my blog, Olive and Tate, and on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest.

 

Gear
Ergo 360 
I always, always recommend that mamas plan to wear their babies on travel days. The benefits are endless: you can wear baby through security, your hands are free and baby is soothed by being snuggled up to mama. I’ve tried managing travel days in wraps and a classic Ergo but, without a doubt, the Ergo 360 is the way to go. It’s provides back support in a way that most other carriers don’t and I learned after a 3 hour flight spent in the aisle rocking a heavy baby that back support is key.

 

Car Seat Gate Check Bag 
I’m a little embarrassed to admit how long it took me to realize that we needed to protect our car seat when flying. We always gate check our car seat (with the exception of one single time and our car seat was lost -as a heads up, if the airline loses your car seat, they lend you one they keep on hand…trust me, you want to gate check your car seat).  Anyway, when you gate check your car seat it will be subjected to the elements, the extremely dirty luggage hold and a luggage convener belt known to rip fabric. If you travel infrequently, I highly suggest the $13 dollar bag but if you are a family that flies regularly, I would invest in this Car Seat Padded Bag.

 

Baby Jogger City Tour Stroller
A stroller with one hand fold, backpack straps and a weight of just 14lbs? This stroller was designed for travel and after a trip or two with another brand, I will never travel with any other stroller brand than Baby Jogger. This little baby will fit through the security x-ray when folded and will be easy enough for a parent traveling alone to fold at the gate for gate checking.

 

Dockatot and Dockatot Travel Bag
Not only will the Dockatot give your baby a cozy spot to snuggle on planes and trains–  once you reach your destination the Dockatot is a safe place for your babe to snuggle, lounge and get in some tummy time.

 

For Mama
Chewbeads
First, let me say that the list of must haves for mama is small – make sure your phone is charged, your chargers are packed and you aren’t wearing anything that will set off the security alarms. Chewbeads are great option as they are plastic and baby can play and gnaw on them during the flight.

 

Diaper Bag
An absolute must for a travel day with a baby on board is a diaper bag with both a cross body and backpack strap option (if you prefer canvas, this is a great option). The last thing you need is to be wrangling a purse on your shoulder all day so throw a well made bag full of pockets on your back and keep your hands free.

 

Car seat cover 
 A soft fabric car seat cover that can double as a nursing cover, scarf of blanket will serve you oh so well. Use it to nurse on the plane, shield a sleeping babe’s eyes from the sun or as a blanket for you and baby.

 

Paci/Bottle Wipes
There cannot be a more disgusting place than an airport or airplane so plan to pack paci wipes. If your babe has an arm like mine did, you’ll be fishing pacis from underneath seats no matter how many extra you have on hand.

 

 

For Baby
Baby Shusher
White noise is a baby win, no matter where you are, so keep it on hand to drown out flight attendant announcements and chatty seat mates.

 

Wubbanub
I prefer Wubbanubs for travel days simply because they are easy to find in my diaper bag! When digging around blind in the bottom of my bag, snagging that stuffed animal is like hitting the jackpot.

 

Light weight blankets
Thin, light weight blankets like those from aden + anais that can be folded or rolled in your diaper bag will serve oh so many purposes on travel day – wiping spit up, creating a place to play on a layover and fending off cold air vents. I usually pack two – one that is only used once in the airport for playtime on a layover and one that is saved for emergencies.

 

Toys
Teething babes will love having a Sophie to slobber on and the squeeky sound will be drowned out by the plan so you won’t have to worry about your seat mates. I always suggest bringing along toys that can be machine washed and that you and baby are not attached to, just in case it gets lost in the shuffle of travel day. Plus, a new toy captivates even the littlest traveler’s interest.

 

Disposable Changing Pads
This is a no brainer for me – I really don’t love using my changing pad on an airport bathroom changing table and then rolling it back up and sticking it in my bag. Disposable is the way to go – just stick a few in your bag (they are super flat and light) and be glad you aren’t carrying around a dirty changing pad.

 

Extra Onesies 
Altitude can affect baby’s tummy so be prepared with a back up outfit or two.

 

Mixie Bottles 
If you’re a formula mom like me, Mixie bottles will save your sanity. I keep them in my bag, locked and loaded with formula and water (added after security), ready to help with baby’s ears or for a meal mid-flight where I don’t have room to whip up a bottle.

 

You can read more of my infant travel advice, including my step by step guide on a solo travel day, on my blog!

Fun Baby Shower Gift Roundup!

by Gugu Guru 1 Comment

-Sponsored Post-
 
The birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, and it’s…baby shower season! Want to wow the mama-to-be at her shower? We rounded up some of our favorite baby shower gifts that are sure to make any expectant mama smile.
Smockingbird Children’s Clothing: If you’re looking for adorable Spring and Summer clothes for babies and kids, there’s no where else to turn to than Smockingbird Clothing. With their bright and fun colors and whimsical designs, their clothing is ideal for running around in summertime and all the adorable photos we know you’ll take of your little one. Smockingbird’s aim is to sell beautiful and classic children’s clothing for an affordable price.

They also utilize social media to sell, and have daily sales on Facebook and Instagram. Instagram sales are daily at 11:00AM ET, 1:30PM ET and 8:30PM ET, and Facebook sales are weekly Tuesday 8:30PM ET and Saturday 7:00AM ET. Every month Smockingbird chooses a different charity to donate to; for May, they are donating to Be the Match.
Crane USA, Violet the Hippo, Crane Adorable Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier: Sometimes the best baby shower gifts are the most practical – but what happens when you also want to give an adorable gift, too? Enter the Crane USA Adorable Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifiers! Get relief from Cold and Flu Symptoms and bring Wellness to your entire Family with a Crane Adorable Humidifier. Featuring an award winning, child friendly animal designs and top rated performance, Crane’s Adorable Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifiers provide up to 24 hours of soothing moisture to help relieve the effects of dryness and congestion, helping you and your Family to breathe easy and sleep through the night peacefully.
Softsie Clothing:  People love to give baby clothing for baby shower gifts, but why give the same old onesies and hats when you can upgrade to Softsie? Softsie creates unique, well-designed, high-quality apparel and accessories – organically infused to gently and safely comfort and care for the skin of all infants and toddlers, while also bringing ease and style to every family. Infused into the Softsie Footie are Aloe Vera, Jojoba Oil, and Vitamin E. These ingredients are infused into our fabric through a capsulation process. These Footies are butter soft and soothing on even the most sensitive of baby skins. Plus, they come in modern patterns and colors, so they’ll be super adorable for all the photos we know the new parents will take. Softsie also has swaddle blankets and hats, so make a little bundle of Softsie gifts for your next shower!
Baby Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit: Did you know that there’s an easy way to transition baby from the swaddle? It’s called Baby Merlin’s Magic Sleepsuit and plenty of parents can tell you, it is a lifesaver – whether it is warm or cold outside! The Magic Sleepsuit is designed for babies who are ready to transition from the swaddle, yet still need that cozy and contained feeling to aid in their sleep. Made with soft, comforting materials, the Magic Sleepsuit will give your baby the sense of security and warmth they need to sleep well through the night. This is a wonderful piece of baby gear for traveling during the Spring and summer because it keeps baby feeling secure wherever they are sleeping. Baby can wear a simple onesie underneath during the warmer months and they will happily and comfortably sleep well!
Snuza Pico Monitor: If you’re gifting a new parent with a baby monitor, you’re absolutely going to want to pick up the Snuza Pico Monitor. The Snuza Pico Movement Monitor is unlike anything else on the market; while some baby movement monitors are fitted beneath the baby’s mattress, Snuza monitors attach directly to a baby’s diaper and alarms if no abdominal movement is detected. This early detection provided by Snuza monitors offers a solution to help bring peace of mind to parents. The App, which is Apple and Android compatible, also monitors a baby’s abdominal movement, skin temperature, sleeping position (side, face-down, face up) and fall detector. It also features an on/off button and alerts parents if they become out of range. The Pico unit can be accessed by multiple smartphones so that parents and/or caregivers can monitor multiple Pico units from one or more smartphones. Snuza wearable movement monitors are made with hypo-allergenic, medical grade plastics and do not send or receive radio frequency signals. There are NO wires, cords, cables or sensor pads that could potentially harm baby. Weighing only 1oz, these monitors are the lightest of their kind on the market today.

Baby K’tan Swaddle Blankets: Any new parent can tell you that there’s nothing as important as a good swaddle blanket; swaddling makes the baby feel safe, secure, and sleep better (we hope!). Baby K’tan, a leader in the baby wearing world, has released their newborn swaddle and toddler blankets, and we think these make a perfect baby shower gift. Made of an innovative breathable stretch fabric, the Baby K’tan Newborn Swaddle & Toddler blanket  provides continuous airflow so that baby doesn’t overheat while sleeping. As your little one grows, your swaddle can be used as the perfect sized toddler blanket, nursing cover and so much more. Plus, they are gender neutral colors, so they make wonderful gifts for baby showers when the gender is still unknown. Most importantly, they are machine washable, so baby can spit up over and over again!

 

Thank you to Baby K’tan, Snuza, Smockingbird, Crane USA, Softsie, and Baby Merlin for making this sponsored post possible.

Cause Driven Pajamas: Sammy + Nat

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Whenever we come across an adorable pajama company, we have to share it with all of you because…a baby can’t have too many pajamas, are we right or what? Plus, it’s even better when the company gives back to someone in need! Sammy + Nat is a classically lovely pajama company who is giving back to a family in need and we are thrilled to be introducing you to them today.

Sammy + Nat, founded by two sisters, sets out to create staple pieces in the softest, safest fabrics for the little ones in your life. Their hand-sourced pima cotton adjusts to your baby’s temperature, keeping them dry, comfortable and smiling. Classic silhouettes in soft hues and clean lines mean it’s easy to mix, match and head out the door. Their cotton is naturally hypo-allergenic, ideal for babies who are sensitive to allergies and prone to skin irritation.

Plus, their adorable clothing is eco-friendly, as they use pima cotton, which is from the earth. Its seeds are harvested by hand and cultivated in excellent growing conditions, found only in the coastal valleys of Peru. Seed by seed, this artisanal process results in smooth, silky-soft fabrics that stand the test of time. With every wash, the softness only gets softer, lasting 3x as long as any other cottons. You can also monogram Sammy + Nat pajamas, making them a perfect baby shower gift!

In honor of Mother’s Day, we wanted to share the story of Sammy + Nat, as the founder, Samantha, lost her mother to breast cancer at a very young age; when she heard about Mary’s Mom’s story, she knew she had to find a way to help, and we are sharing her story today. Mary is the rosy-cheeked, blond-haired 25-month-old baby girl of Lisa and Eric. She has an older brother, 16-year-old Dean, Eric’s son from a previous relationship. Lisa and Eric lead a simple, but happy life, making the best of limited resources. Last summer, Lisa’s life changed in a day. What was supposed to be a routine visit to the doctor for what she assumed was a swollen neck gland led to a series of tests that confirmed it as a lymph node, a classic symptom of Hodgkin’s lymphoma – Lisa was in Stage Three. The revelation was a blow, testing everything they knew and hoped for.

Besides the obvious emotional struggles and fear that surround cancer, there are so many additional drains that are not always as apparent to the outside world. How does the family keep going? How does dad do his job and look after the kids? What happens when you’re alone, with no support? What about lost income? And bills? The biggest stress for Lisa’s family is financial. In order to help Lisa and Mary’s family, Sammy + Nat is donating 20% of all proceeds on SammyAndNat.com to their GoFundMe page, Mary’s Mom. If there were ever a time to splurge on some new pajamas, this is it!

As Samantha, from Sammy + Nat says, “I’m moved by Lisa’s story, not just because she’s a neighbor and a friend, a woman struggling with adversity on multiple fronts, always with optimism and a smile on her face; or because she happens to be going through what I watched my own mother go through twenty years ago, and feel it viscerally; or because it just doesn’t seem fair that this should happen to a young mother with so much to give and so many plans to realize. I’m moved because I empathize—and because I think I can do something about it. It doesn’t take much to make a difference to someone in need, by easing the pressures as they struggle to make it to the other side of the challenge life has thrown them.”
