For the nursing and postpartum months, it is important for moms to wear something comfortable. The Sara tunic is made of a very soft material so moms will feel cozy and beautiful in this tunic.

Whether working inside or outside the home, this gorgeous piece is a great addition to any working mom’s attire too.

The tunic is realistically priced to fit most budgets, so shoppers do not have to worry about breaking the bank on a great gift idea. At a reasonable price, shoppers can order the new-mama more than one, or even grab one for themselves!

Any Baby: THE Smartest Playsuit for Babies

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

When it comes to baby clothing, the options are endless, but…what does your baby actually need? We came across the Any Baby Smartsie Playsuit and thought it was genius! As they say, Any Baby is “the world’s smartest playsuit for squirmy, squishy, stinky little humans.” Babies are indeed that, so read on to see why we highly recommend the Any Baby Smartsie Playsuit for all of the little ones in your life.

Smart Baby Playsuit

There are just so many reasons that the Any Baby Smartsie Playsuit is totally unique. It’s the only playsuit designed with adventurous tots and active parents in mind. First off, it’s crafted from a super soft peppermint fabric which also adds permanent anti-odor protection. They chose the amazing and abundant peppermint plant because of its naturally cooling, refreshing and sustainable properties. They literally spun the peppermint fiber into the yarn of the Smartsie, with all the great benefits of the plant itself. Secondly, the Smartsie also features innovative 3D Air Mesh pads in the knees and elbows for all those inevitable oops moments. And, we are loving the quick-zip and stay-in-place diaper gusset, because you never know where you’ll be changing a diaper or two!”

Any baby playsuitAny Baby was specifically designed for families who love to be on-the-go. The material is UPF 50+ sun safe, so your little one can wear year round. And, when it comes to your baby’s milestones, the Any Baby Smartsie Playsuit is here to make sure they’re ready for whatever comes! The ouch-resistant cushioned knees and elbows will help baby transition from crawling to walking, and the comfy and breathable, moisture-wicking fabric is ideal for all the twisting, turning, wiggling, crawling, and dancing your little one loves to do. Once baby starts to walk, the grippy feet will help them feel stable as they find their little feet!

Any Baby PlaysuitWith a belief in slow fashion and quality products, Any Baby is changing the fast-fashion baby-clothes landscape one Smartsie at a time, by creating an expertly-crafted product to give your baby extra support through those formative crawl-and-tumble months. The gender neutral design means it can be used from baby-to-baby – like they said, Any Baby! We’re also happy to add that Any Baby is environmentally conscious and have partnered with One Tree Planted (a nonprofit dedicated to global reforestation) to plant a tree for every order placed. They also use earth-friendly tissue paper and stickers, and their shipping mailers are compostable!

Any Baby just launched this adorable gift bundle for the holidays: Gift Pack 2 Smartsies + 1 Tote (save $10). If you’re looking for the ultimate baby gift or ultimate baby outfit for your little one, or the perfect gift for a new baby, Any Baby is the must-have clothing item to make everyone’s lives a little easier and a whole lot cuter. Use code GUGUGURU at checkout for an exclusive 20% discount!

Breastfeeding Mom Must Have: MilkBliss Lactation Cookies

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

They say mother is the necessity of invention, and that’s never been more true than when it comes to breastfeeding must-haves. When it comes to breastfeeding, moms are always looking for ways to increase their breastmilk supply, so what if you could increase your supply while also having a delicious and healthy snack? You can! We’re so excited to introduce you to MilkBliss Lactation cookies.

MilkBliss is owned by two moms who struggled with producing enough breastmilk and solved the problem by creating these products. As they say, “When I became a mother I was excited about breastfeeding. After struggling to produce enough milk to feed my baby I began seeking ways to naturally boost my milk supply. I tried many products on the market with no luck before deciding to make my own. My recipe was not only effective, but delicious!” And now, you can enjoy MilkBliss cookies from the comfort of your home. In fact, MilkBliss recommends enjoying lactation cookies from 36 weeks pregnant as they can help boost your colostrum. They can be consumed the entire time a woman is breastfeeding and anytime otherwise! They are safe for the whole family. Yum!

MilkBliss cookies are unique in that they are produced in small batches and feature products created with ancient ingredients widely known for helping a breastfeeding mom increase her milk supply. The ingredients MilkBliss uses in all of their products that make them effective are: Organic whole rolled oats, organic flaxseed meal, and GMO free brewers yeast. These ingredients have widely been recognized as galactagogues and have been used for hundreds of years all over the world as a way to boost a breastfeeding mothers milk supply. 

lactation cookies

Although MilkBliss is a small women-owned business, they do not “cut corners” when it comes to ingredients. MilkBliss sources the highest quality ingredients because they feel taste is the most important component. MilkBliss believes breastfeeding moms deserve a special treat that will not only help increase their breastmilk supply, but will also be delicious and something to look forward to each day. With three delicious flavors, oatmeal chocolate chip, oatmeal blueberry, and oatmeal peanut butter chip, we know you will find a flavor (or two…or three…) you will make again and again. This is also a fantastic baby shower gift or a special treat for a long-distance mama friend. So, what flavor will you try?

Stamp My Feet: The Keepsake that Lasts

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

We recently stumbled upon Stamp My Feet, a women-owned/grandma-owned business based in the Pacific NW. Stamp My Feet creates custom, beautiful, and stress-proof nursery keepsakes. We are pretty much obsessed with these kits. Just check out their Instagram feed and we know you’ll agree!

Stamp My Feet’s stamp kits contain a stylish gallery-wrapped canvas, letter and number stamps for personalization, and non-toxic ink. The canvases are erasable until sealed so you can get it just right, because wiggly baby feet and hands are inevitable. The kits even include a ribbon so you can hang your finished canvas on the nursery wall as soon as it’s dry!

Stamp My Feet says: Just ink your child’s hand or foot, stamp the canvas, and use the included stamps to personalize your little one’s name and birthdate. The stamps are clear so you can see exactly where you’re placing them. Easy-peasy, right? If you make a mistake or your baby wiggles and things get smudged, don’t stress, you can easily wipe off the entire print with a damp cloth or just touch it up with a cotton swab. It will be dry within 2-24 hours!

While Stamp My Feet kits are ideal for capturing a newborn’s footprints, they are also great for handprints at milestones like a first birthday or even the first day of kindergarten!  They are available in a variety of styles; so there’s a kit to suit any kind of event and every kind of décor, from minimalist to traditional.

This gift is especially perfect for any new or expectant parent. No guessing on size, gender, or wondering if they already have it — you’re all set! Order your kit here.

Must Have Baby Product: The Beaba Babycook

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

It’s 2020 and store-bought baby food is out. While okay as an occasional treat, the expensive, mass-produced baby food products just won’t cut it for today’s little ones. Instead, working mothers are turning to more natural, healthy, and affordable homemade alternatives. Of course, making baby food at home can easily feel like another chore for busy parents and that’s where BEABA is hoping to change the game. 

Who Is BEABA?

The BEABA brand caters to health conscious parents that want to give their children the best, freshest food possible yet don’t necessarily have the time to slave over the stovetop cooking up baby’s meals multiple times a day — or even multiple times a week. Consider it the best-selling baby food making product, only better!

BEABA isn’t new to the industry either. This French company invented the first baby food making machine all the way back in 1989 and has spent the last 30 years improving the process to help make fresh, high-quality baby food accessible to every parent. 

beaba babycook

What Is Babycook Neo?

Made in Europe, Babycook Neo is an innovative baby food making product featuring a new and improved glass bowl and a stainless steel steaming basket. With four settings, Babycook Neo allows busy parents to cook up baby food without pots, pans, or blenders. Plus, the food will never see the microwave, which many believe kills nutrients.

Instead, Babycook Neo turns cooking baby food into a simple and fun process. With a unique pulse/bled feature, every parent can ensure their baby is getting just the right consistency, even as their child grows older and begins to eat more textured, chewy foods. 

With its patented steam cooking system that automatically shuts off, Babycook Neo also takes the worry out of overcooking your baby’s food, and it makes the process much more hands-off so you don’t have to stand around and wait. What’s more, the newly designed reservoir makes hassle-free cleaning a breeze by making every part of Babycook Neo accessible.

beaba babycook

How Does Babycook Neo Work?

The latest version of Babycook Neo features a stainless steel steam basket and glass bowl to make cleanup a breeze and help eliminate the worry of contaminants in your home. The Neo features a steamer, blender, warmer, and defroster all packed into one compact appliance.

With a large, 5.2-cup capacity in the bowl and a water reservoir that’s never been easier to clean, the Neo is intelligently designed with no issue left unaddressed. 

Just start by washing your veggies and preparing them for steaming, throw them in the bowl, and turn the Neo on. A beep will signal you when it’s done with the machine cutting off automatically to prevent overcooking. From there, blend up your freshly steamed veggies to the perfect consistency.

If you’re not ready to serve now, store the food in the fridge and return to the Neo for the defroster and food warmer functions that allow you to put food on baby’s table without ever touching a pot, pan, or microwave again. 

The Babycook Neo is BPA, Lead, and Phthalate free, making it the best and most advanced baby food maker on the market. 

You can learn more about BEABA and the Babycook Neo on their website.

Toki Mats: The Softest Playmat. Ever.

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

As with most fantastic ideas, necessity is the mother of invention, and quite literally when it comes to Toki Mats. Founded by a mama while on maternity leave with her second child, she realized there was no place to get down on the floor and safely play with her newborn and toddler. At least, she didn’t have one that was both comfortable and modern. Toki Mats was created for the modern parent to have a functional, stylish, and most importantly, super soft place to get down and play with your crew.

Photo: @d_lillian

Toki Mats are completely unique in their structure, as they consist of one fabric cover with two side zip openings, and two natural latex foam inserts. Their unique foam is the perfect blend of squish and firmness, to pad baby’s falls and help support them as they develop critical movement skills. The outer cover is 100% super soft cotton fabric, and the waterproof covers are 100% bamboo jersey fabric. Parents love the optional waterproof covers, as they are easily washable. As an added fun bonus, the outer covers can be swapped out for a different design in no time flat. And, as Toki Mats was created by a mom, all materials are certified non-toxic and chemical free.

photo: @kaleekilgrow.photo

Toki Mats are an essential baby item for the house, as they are light enough to carry from room to room, and make getting down on the floor with your baby comfortable for you! Whether it’s tummy time, playing with the baby and toddler, reading books, or simply lounging, you too will enjoy the comfort and softness of the playmat. Heading out to grandma’s house? No worry, the mats easily fold into the travel case to take anywhere, in the car, train, or plane.

photo: @carriehuseman

The mats come in a ton of modern styles and in two convenient sizes, their regular size, and a mega size – ideal for baby and a toddler! The Toki Mat would make an awesome baby shower gift, and a gift for your own family, too. We can’t pick a favorite style, so we say get all of your favorite styles!

Claire Holt’s Motherhood Must-Haves

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

We are so excited to have teamed up with Claire Holt again to highlight her favorite products now that her little guy has turned one! In the blink of an eye, her cutie has gone from infancy to rolling over, then eating and is now on the move! Here are some of Claire’s top must-haves that have helped her throughout her first year and beyond as a new mom! Plus, we love Claire’s social media posts about motherhood, especially as she gets ready to welcome baby #2– be sure to follow her on Instagram!

 

Fourth Trimester Must-Haves

Baby K’tan: I really loved using this wrap when James was a newborn. He instantly calmed when I wore him and it allowed me to actually get things done! It was so easy to put on (which was very important to me as I struggled with some of the other ‘rubix cube’ wraps), and I was able to pop it in the washing machine to keep it clean. Highly recommend!

Magnetic Me Onesies: These are a MUST!!! We tried many different types of onesies and these are the clear winners. They are so easy to snap, which is crucial for middle of the night changing and bath time fussiness. I love love love love this brand.

aden + anais Swaddles/Blankets: SO beautiful, soft, and very high quality. We really love these and they make great gifts!

Diaper Dékor Plus: The best part about this pail is how easy it is to empty. You simply cut the continuous liner on the side of the pail, tie a knot, and you’re good to go. It’s handsfree and really effective at trapping odors.

 

Travel Must-Haves

Doona Car Seat/Stroller: This is my absolute favorite baby product. We traveled with James from a very young age and this car seat/stroller made our lives so much easier. It’s lightweight, durable, very comfortable, and switches easily between the two modes. My only wish is that it came in a bigger size, as James grew out of it by 6 months. This is a MUST HAVE if you plan on traveling or just want to save a little space in your home!

Hatch Baby Sound Machine: Awesome product for home or on-the-go. It has such a wide variety of sound options and also works as a night light. We travel with it everywhere – it really helps to keep him in a deep sleep

4moms Breeze Playard: Really great for travel – so easy to set up and pack away. The mattress is super comfortable. We use this for sleep and for playtime.

Skip Hop Pronto Portable Changer: Really great for those times when you don’t want to lug around a large diaper bag. I found it very useful when I had to change him in places with limited space (like a plane bathroom!).

Ergobaby Omni 360 Carrier– I really love this carrier! It’s so easy to use and James loves facing both inward and outward. It was invaluable on my recent trip to Australia – I walked up and down the plane aisle wearing him for many hours. It saved my back and my sanity. While I love the Baby K’tan for newborns, this worked better for me once James got a little bigger.

 

On-The-Go Must-Haves

Nuna Pipa: We brought James home from this hospital in this car seat and I used this when we weren’t traveling until he was around 6 months old. The Nuna Pipa is a great design and James always seemed very comfortable in it. Safety is obviously the main priority and I always felt confident that he was safe and secure.

Peg Perego Primo Viaggio Convertible Car Seat– Obsessed with this seat. Now that James is bigger he is much more comfortable in this style. It’s beautifully made, very secure, and easy to clean. Huge fan.

Artipoppe Carrier: Another of my favorite carriers. This carrier is SO gorgeous. The quality is incredible, the patterns are really unique, and when I’m wearing it, strangers always ask about it!

Silver Cross Jet: LOVE this travel stroller. It’s so simple to fold, becomes incredibly compact, and most importantly is super comfortable. It also looks really stylish. James even prefers this stroller over the larger version. So glad silver cross released this model!

 

Sleep Must-Haves

Colgate Natural I Crib Mattress: Love that this mattress is eco-friendly and all natural. It’s hypoallergenic, very safe, and very comfortable.

Magic Merlin Sleepsuit: This suit was really helpful when we transitioned James from the swaddle. He slept really well and most importantly was safe in his crib. We didn’t use it for long but it was a very valuable tool when we needed it.

Crane Humidifer: We use this in the winter months. I like that it dispenses a cool mist making it safe for infants. The design is stylish and it’s easy to use.

Breathable Crib Liners: This liner stops James from getting his arms and legs caught in the crib bars. Love that it doesn’t restrict airflow and is a safer alternative to crib bumpers.

 

Playtime Must-Haves

4moms mamaRoo4: An excellent infant seat option starting right at the newborn stage. This seat has multiple movement patterns and is a great way to keep baby calm during playtime!

Monti Kids: I am a huge fan of Montessori and love that this is an age-appropriate subscription service. The wooden toys are beautifully made and specifically designed for development. The subscription provides parents/caregivers with access to the Monti Kids Learning Centre, which gives instructions and shares research. I did have an issue with the Level 1 mobile. I couldn’t collapse it and took up a large amount of space. Upon checking their website, it seems that they’ve addressed this and the new mobile is adjustable! All of the other toys are really great.

Toki Play Mat: Really great for newborns, it’s made of very soft organic material and has a machine washable cover. It’s portable and comes in lots of great prints.

People Toy Company- Mochi blocks: James is obsessed with these toys! I love that they’re free of harmful chemicals and made from rice – makes me feel better when they spend most of the time in his mouth!

DockATot: The DockATot does an amazing job at keeping the baby cozy. Great for supervised lounging and playtime. Plus it is super portable.

 

Feeding Must-Haves

Comotomo Bottles: These bottles are the best! We tried glass at first, but they were heavy and I was always worried about dropping them. I love that the Comotomo is made of food-grade silicone, easy to clean, and the nipple mound is quite large, which resembles a breast. By far James’ favorite type of bottle.

Boon Lawn Drying Rack: Large, easy to clean, and keeps the bottles in place as they dry. It seems very simple but I tried a number of different racks and this was the best.

Inglesina Fast Table chair: This is so great for travel! He does much better in this than a traditional restaurant high chair. Easy to clean and very comfortable.

Wabi Baby UV Sterilizer: Another of my must-have items. Great design, highly effective, and easy to use. Sterilizes and dries toys and bottles very quickly. We love it so much that despite the size, we packed it in the back of the car and brought it on vacation with us. (Side note – the Wabi Baby UV Sterilizer is currently

Beaba Babycook: We make our own organic food for James when we can (it’s a little more difficult when traveling), and this product makes it very easy. It steams AND purees the food, which means less equipment and fewer dishes! We have transitioned to more textures so don’t use the puree function as much anymore, but we still use it to steam fruits/veggies.

 

 

Clothing Must-Haves

Saint Haven Clothing: I am in love with these clothes. They are so soft yet incredibly durable. James lives in the one-pieces.

Little Crowns NYC Hats: The most adorable little hats. Super stylish and adjustable as they grow. Most importantly, he never tries to rip them off!

 

Thank you SO much to Claire for all of her insight and photos of her little guy and his favorite items.

Must Have Essentials: Fisher-Price Baby Gear

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

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 Must Have Essentials for every category you may need. Today we’re covering the Top Must Have Essentials from Fisher-Price!

See also: Top 5 Must Have Essentials for Baby’s Nursery, Top 5 Must Have Essentials for Baby’s First Flight; Top 5 Must Have Essentials for Baby’s First Night Home

1. Rainforest Jumperoo: The Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo is a must-loved item on the Gugu Guru team and fantastically interactive for baby, as well. Everywhere baby looks, (in the spinning seat, baby can see all around), there’s something fun to do. Busy toys, including a bobble elephant and swinging monkey, captivate baby’s attention and keep them entertained. Folds for easy storage and portability.

2. Kick and Play Piano Gym: With four ways to play, this musical toy grows with your little one! From laying and playing, to tummy time and sitting up, busy activities at each stage are just the beginning of the fun. Baby’s in charge of the action as her little kicky feet activate music. Moveable toys overhead encourage batting and grasping, including a hippo teether, elephant clackers, rollerball frog and more. When it’s time to change modes, move the arch down for tummy time or let baby sit up and entertain you with a piano concert. Remove the piano and take the fun on-the-go. Includes long and short play modes with up to 15 minutes of music. This is also a great way for older siblings to interact with the new baby!

3. On-The-Go Baby Dome: We love this baby domefrom Fisher-Price for so many reasons! It essentially has two functions – a play space and a comfy napping spot, perfect for when you and baby are on the go! This is ideal for families who love to travel, as it folds up flat and can be stored under a hotel bed or in the back of a car. However, this is also an ideal piece of baby gear for small-space living, as you can easily move it around the house and it folds up when not in use. Plus, we love the modern look of it!
