Back to Sleep Day 13: ErgoPouch

It’s Day 13 of our Back to Sleep event and it also happens to be the official last day of summer, which makes it seem especially fitting to be showcasing today’s featured product the Winter Sleep Suit from ergoPouch. The ergoPouch Sleep Suit is a safe way to keep baby warm without the need for extra blankets. You can use the Sleep Suit in the crib as a sleeping bag, then convert into legs using the zippers. Read on to find out more about this innovative sleep garment.

All ergoPouch products are made from skin-friendly, natural fibres, including Organic Cotton, Merino and Bamboo. The 2.5 TOG Sleep Suit is designed for Winter temperatures and is made with an Organic Cotton sheeting outer layer and 100% cotton filling.

ergoPouch uses natural fibers for the fillings of its products specifically to improve breathability and temperature regulation. The ergoPouch Winter Sleep Suit may keep your baby snuggly warm but it is highly breathable and also, impressively, antibacterial. When it’s chillier, the garment has long cotton fleece sleeves and fold over mitts for warmth.

The simplicity of converting from Sleep Bag to Sleep Suit using the zippers is what earns our No Fuss badge on the ergoPouch Winter Sleep Suit. This feature makes the transition from crib to stroller or carseat an easy one for parents. The suit fits easily into a stroller or baby carrier. Not to mention that the zippers provide easy access for diaper changes – always a blessing, especially when on the go.

Some parents keep the box next to their bed, while others use it in all rooms of the house to keep baby in while they clean, cook, or work. Once baby outgrows the box, it can easily be repurposed for clothing or toy storage! The Baby Box Co. has teamed up with some amazing baby brands, so when you order your box, you’ll get fun samples, clothing, and goodies from all sorts of wonderful companies!

A Princess Bride Baby Registry

by Gugu Guru 1 Comment

A Princess Bride Baby Registry?
Inconceivable!
(You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.)

Raise your hand if you’re a Princess Bride fan like the team at Gugu Guru is. Bet you didn’t know that you could design a Princess Bride-themed baby registry. Well, now you know and we’ve done a lot of the legwork for you with these awesome picks featuring some of the most memorable movie characters of all time.

For Mom

You don’t even have to wait until you’ve had your baby to get your Buttercup on. The designers at Fillyboo maternity have you covered with their line of boho chic maternity clothes fit for a queen. Shown here from the collection: Wonder Years in ‘Baby Baby’ blue and I Believe In Unicorns maxi dress in off white.

For Nursery

We found our “true love” when we discovered is this beautiful, whimsical hand made Princess Bride crib mobile from PinkCheeksStudios on Etsy.

This “As You Wish” (secret code for “I love you”) print is a simple, beautiful touch for the nursery. Available in different colors.

For Baby

From our favorite revenge-seeking swash buckler, Inigo Montoya to the inconceivable Vizzini, there’s no shortage of awesome onesies for your little one on Etsy. Shown here: “Hello. My Name Is…” toddler t-shirt and Inconceivable onesie.

If you happen to be expecting a Princess Buttercup of your own, might we suggest checking out an eponymous floral crown from MaeMillerCrowns on Etsy.

Back to Sleep Day 12: Owlet

by Gugu Guru 6 Comments

With unintentional suffocation the leading cause of injury death among U.S. children under the age of one, it’s no wonder parents often have trouble getting a good night’s sleep during baby’s first year. So, on the twelfth day of Back To Sleep, we are featuring a company that has an amazing mission when it comes to safe sleep: Owlet. Owlet is a device worn like a sock on your baby’s foot designed to alert you if your baby stops breathing. With the Owlet monitor, parents and caregivers can rest easy knowing there is an extra set of eyes watching over baby.

While Owlet is certainly cutting edge, this is actually a “smart” device you don’t really need to be a gadget geek to appreciate. The Owlet device uses hospital technology called pulse oximetry, miniaturized into a snuggly Smart Sock that your little one wears to bed at night. The base station collects vitals data from the Smart Sock via bluetooth to the base station located on the parents’ night stand. Then parents can remotely monitor vitals within the smart phone app.

If you’re a working parent and especially one that may leave baby at daycare, you can have peace of mind that Owlet is monitoring baby, providing peace of mind. Owlet is the only monitor that uses hospital technology designed to alert if your baby’s heart rate or oxygen fall outside of range. Plus if both parents work both of you can access your child’s information on the Owlet app from your respective smartphones.

Owlet was founded by a team of passionate parents who wanted to bring themselves—and other parents around the globe—peace of mind. The co-founders of Owlet, all of whom are young fathers, have learned firsthand what it is like to lose sleep worrying about their babies. As parents, the team at Owlet feels that they are their own target market – all have young children and all have experienced the stress of coming home that first night and the hundreds of the feelings and emotions that come with it. The Owlet team is built around this knowledge and passion for helping others.

Back to Sleep Day 11: 4moms Breeze

by Gugu Guru 9 Comments

This is hands-down, one of the coolest play yards out there. Any seasoned parent will tell you that play yards can be so dang confusing. Some have this whole step-by-step process of popping up the sides and then pushing some button in the middle while the sides that you thought were popped in wind up collapsing on you… (Wait, yeah, that’s not the way it’s supposed to go but that’s been our experience and the experience of many others.) And that is why the team at Gugu Guru just loves the sleep-certified 4moms Breeze. Learn more about whether this product is a fit for your lifestyle and/or baby registry then enter to win one below.

Aside from its general ease of use and the fact that it comes with a convenient travel bag, the 4moms Breeze is so sturdy and well made that it is sure to withstand the beating that traveling baby gear typically takes. From being stacked on to thrown on a conveyor belt, rest assured that the Breeze can take it and will still provide a comfy, familiar place for baby once you arrive at your destination. The fact that both the play yard and bassinet attachment wipe clean with a damp cloth is also a bonus when you’re on the road frequently.

4moms is really THE gear brand for tech loving parents. The company actually doesn’t call itself a “baby gear company” but rather a “consumer technology company that leverages robotics, technology and innovative design to disrupt and redefine.” With its one touch open and close feature, the Breeze doesn’t disappoint in terms of disrupting the category.

4moms calls its Breeze “seriously easy” and we agree, hence our No Fuss badge here. To open the Breeze, you just give one push. To close the Breeze, you just pull a single time. Anyone who has ever battled with a clunky play yard of the past will more than appreciate the ease of use that the Breeze has to offer. Furthermore, there’s something to be said about “so easy to use that a grandparent can figure it out” and that definitely applies here.

Back To Sleep Day 9: Solly Baby

by Gugu Guru 3 Comments

One of the most popular carriers on Gugu Guru’s registry is featured in today’s Back To Sleep – Solly Baby. Solly Baby offers some of the most beautiful and functional wrap style baby carriers in the market today. Solly Baby wraps reflect your personal aesthetic; seamlessly & luxuriously integrating all of the benefits of babywearing and the beauty of still being YOU! Read on to see if this product is a fit for your lifestyle and baby registry, then enter today for a chance to win a wrap from the new FW16 collection. Can’t wait to see if you win one? Solly Baby wraps are made of 100% Certified Lenzing Modal, sourced from the pulp of Austrian Beechwood trees. Lenzing Modal, a modal fiber from Lenzing, is naturally soft on the skin and exceptionally ecological. The fiber is produced using Edelweiss technology. Edelweiss stands for a “symbiotic” production process – pulp, the raw material, is produced at the same site as the Modal fiber itself. Thus production can be done while going easy on energy and other resources.

Moms love traveling with their Solly Baby wrap because it’s a lifesaver! It gives you your hands back while keeping your baby close. A Solly Baby wrap helps to calm even the fussiest babies, especially babies with reflux or gas. (A Pediatric study found that wearing your infant 3 hours a day reduces infant crying by 43% – that’s something everyone on your flight will cheer about with you!) Solly Baby Wraps provide a womb-like environment for baby when you’re on the go that makes them feel secure, safe, and comfortable.

Because they are constructed with Certified Lenzing Modal, Solly Baby wraps are incredibly lightweight, cool to the touch and get softer with each wash all while being strong enough to be dried in a conventional dryer on low heat without wearing down.

Back to Sleep Day 8: Bitta Kidda

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

On this eighth day of Back to Sleep, we highlight the BittaSack from Bitta Kidda – one of the most thoughtfully designed and safest sacks that we’ve ever discovered. The BittaSack is mostly known for its two strategically placed wearable lovies for baby to grab for self-soothing during the night. These lovies cannot twist around baby or cover baby’s face, making the BittaSack the only sleep garment of its kind to safely provide a lovie in the crib. Plus, because the lovie is attached, it can’t be lost in the crib or tossed out of the crib – bonus! But, wait, there’s more! Read on to find out what else is so great about this sleep sack… The BittaSack definitely helps with baby fussing but also soothes mom & dad! Late night diaper changes are now not a problem. We give the BittaSack our No Fuss stamp because its genius diagonal zipper is easier to zip and also allows baby to stay comfortable while you easily change diapers. Just unzip diagonal zipper while leaving shoulder snapped, open internal diaper cover and change baby’s diaper. Once you’re done, refasten diaper cover and zip baby back up. The whole time your baby stays cozy with lovie in hand.

Oftentimes daycares don’t allow for lovies or blankies during naptime, as they can be a sleeping hazard. If your baby loves to hold on to something while they sleep (which most do!), this is the perfect daycare accompaniment because it will help them get a great nap!

Bitta Kidda also offers BittaDaytime – a small cotton velour Lovie that clips directly to clothing, which is perfect for traveling. The lovie is always in reach when baby needs to self soothe and provides comfort (and entertainment!) when you are out and about in unfamiliar settings. We also love that we can now enjoy stroller walks knowing that the lovie can’t fall to the ground – or worse – get tossed out of the stroller and lost forever.

Back To Sleep Day 6: Gunamuna

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

It’s Day 6 of our Back To Sleep event and we’re showcasing a newer and smarter wearable blanket – the Gunapod from Gunamuna. Developed by moms, the Gunapod is a soft baby sleep sack that has a simple-yet-ingenious layout of zippers and snaps incredibly easy to adjust into many configurations, which means baby is more comfortable & mom’s life is easier. In our Back to Sleep event, we’re highlighting the new duvet Gunapod constructed with luxurious bamboo viscose.

The Gunapod is super easy wherever you find yourself changing a diaper. The WONDERZiP opens the Gunapod completely from underarm to underarm, with four separate pulls thereby functioning in a multitude of ways. This provides the easiest, fastest diaper change along with multiple ways to easily transfer baby, while keeping him or her covered and warm.

With its unique, more modern fit in luxury fabrics plus duvet, you’ll find that Gunapod is super comfortable in a car or plane; keeping baby warm and snug while traveling. It’s also a safe sleep necessity in a hotel that can get chilly with A/C. By unzipping in many combinations, the WONDERZiP system allows customized control of warmth so baby is comfortable with changing temperatures while traveling.

Wearable Blankets are a necessity for daycare as no loose blankets are allowed. Gunamuna is one of the most comfortable for baby and offers easy changes for daycare provider.
