Playard Picks: 2022 Edition

by Abby Ludwig 1 Comment

Playards have become a necessity for many families over the last 10 years. They are the true multi-functional item that you will use again and again as your little one grows. In the newborn days, your playard may be a safe sleep spot for the baby. It takes up a small amount of space next to your bed, keeping the baby close for those middle-of-the-night feeds. Many playards have a bassinet setting, which is also great for naps throughout the day. The changing station (which is included with many playards) is an excellent place to change your little one, especially if the nursery is far from your play area. Plus, the playard will easily fold up for travel and is a great place for your toddler to sleep while on the go. A true must-have, take a look at our best playards for 2022.

Breeze® Plus Playard With Bassinet & Changer | 4moms®

Easiest Fold: 4moms Breeze Plus 

The 4moms breeze plus is a playard, bassinet, and changing table in one. It is easy to move around the house, always giving you a convenient place for the baby to sleep. The Breeze Plus is extremely easy to open/close and is an excellent secondary changing station. The bassinet is compatible with up to 18 pounds while the playard will hold up to 30 pounds. The removable bassinet, changer, and playard are all easy to clean with a simple damp cloth.

Eco-friendly Pick: Lotus Travel Crib from Guava Family

The lightest playard, the Lotus is GreenGuard Gold non-toxic certified (low VOC & no lead, phthalates, PVC, heavy metals, etc.). Full-height mesh guarantees breathable airflow. Plus, parents are just crazy about the side access panel that allows you easy access through the lockable door. Set up is simple and the Lotus playard only weighs 13 lbs packed, making it an excellent choice for travel. The Lotus comes with a backpack carrying case and a thick, soft foam pad approved for overnight sleep (0-3 years old.) They have also launched their Bassinet & Crib Kit.


Budget Pick: Graco Pack n Play Reversible Napper & Changer LX   

The Graco Pack n Play Reversible Napper & Changer includes a newborn napper station for baby to sleep and reverses to a changing table for easy diaper changes. After baby outgrows the removable full-size bassinet, the Graco Pack n Play easily converts to a portable playard. The napper and bassinet can be used for babies up to 15 pounds. This playard also includes a toy bar with plush toys.



Multiples Pick: Romp & Roost

Romp & Roost is the ultimate playard for twins or even just for one baby. This stylish, oversized playard can be used for a play area or sleep space. This play yard includes a patented, removable divider that separates the space into two spacious spaces with an airy mesh fabric. The Romp & Roost features large wheels with brakes and a convenient carry bag making it perfect for trips to grandma’s house.

Modern Pick: Nuna Sena Aire

The Nuna Sena Aire is an easy-to-use playard with an innovative, chic design you won’t mind having out in your home.  Unlike many other playards, the Nuna Sena Aire is easy to open and close with one hand and easily slides into the included travel bag.  You can be sure your baby is comfy with full mesh sides and the included quilted mattress. The mattress can be used in the higher position as a bassinet and easily moves to the lower position for use until your little one is 30 pounds.

Minimalist Pick: Bugaboo Stardust

Looking for something unique that meets your minimalist aesthetic? Bugaboo Stardust unfolds in 1 second and stores easily. Great for that room where you need baby to nap, but want your floor space back each morning! An excellent choice for toddler play in a small space.

The 5 Best Baby Bathtubs

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Looking for the best baby bathtub for your little one? We’ve got you covered. Here’s a roundup of our top 5 baby bathtubs ready to get your little one squeaky clean.

Boon Naked 2-Position Collapsible Bathtub

The Boon Naked will grow with your little one from newborn to toddler. The collapsible design of this tub allows you to have a newborn in the recline position or accommodate your toddler to sit up and splash around. When bathtime is over, you can completely collapse the tub and store it flat or by hanging it to dry.

Lavelu Lounger Baby Sink Bath Insert

Lavelu Lounger

Our go-to recommendation for minimalist families, we love how easy the Lavelu Lounger is for those earliest bath days. Simply stick the lounger directly into your sink (it fit nearly every sink we tested) and baby will stay warm, cozy, and fully supported. Hang it to dry and upcycle to the tub as a bath pillow for mom when baby no longer needs.

Read more about the Lavelu Lounger here.

The First Years Sure Comfort Deluxe Tub

The First Years Newborn to Toddler Tub includes a mesh sling that provides better support for smaller babies. Once baby starts to get a little bigger they can go into the deep ergonomic tub directly and there is plenty of space for your baby up to 25 pounds to sit up and splash. The mesh sling is machine washable and the padded headrest is mildew resistant so you can feel good about how clean the First Years Newborn to Toddler tub will be whenever you need it.

Stokke Flexi Bath with Newborn Support

The Stokke Flexi Bath is BPA-free, lead-free, phthalate-free, PVC-free, latex-free, formaldehyde-free, and heavy metal-free. The Stokke Flexi Bath is a lightweight, foldable bath that when used with the Stokke Flexi Bath Newborn Support can be used from birth all the way to 4 years. The Flexi Bath has a unique fold that will allow you to store the tub flat or easily travel with it. Mom hack: It’s a great solution for baby at the beach!

Summer Infant Clean Rinse Bather

Looking for a way to keep baby close from day 1? Summer Infant’s Bather has you covered. Putting baby at the right angle from newborn to 20 pounds, you can use this counter top (13 lb weight capacity) to bathtub. Adjustable recline and easy cleaning make this a great budget friendly selection. Great for your little one who loves to kick and splash throughout tub time.

Infant Sleep Garments | Gugu Picks

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Looking for the best infant sleep garments for your baby? We’ve got you covered. Check out our favorite swaddles and sleepsacks below, ready to help you catch those extra zzz’s. These are our top picks for 2021, accourding to Gugu Guru’s Director of Education + Parent Training, Abby Ludwig. As a safe sleep reminder, remember to follow the guidelines put out by the AAP and never swaddle once your little one is rolling over.

Sleep Garments Love to Dream Swaddle Up

Best Swaddle for Self-Soothing: Love to Dream Swaddle UP

The Love to Dream Swaddle UP is often our top recommended swaddle for new parents. It is extremely easy to use, and launches Love to Dream’s 3-step approach from swaddling to independent sleep. The swaddle’s wings keep your baby’s arms up, allowing them to self-soothe more effectively from Day 1. Once your little one is ready to move on from swaddles, the Swaddle UP Transition Bag allows you to zip-off one (or both) wings, giving them the perfect transition without losing any sleep. They have organic and non-organic options, as well as a variety of patterns and colors. 

Best of Infant Sleep Garments for Eco-Friendly Families: ergoPouch

ergoPouch is our go-to recommendation for families looking for that eco-friendly swaddle option. Their Cocoon Swaddle Bags are made with GOTS certified organic cotton as well as elastane, allowing baby to move freely but still restrict the startle reflex. Plus a quick zip of the arm flap, and your swaddle bag instantly becomes a wearable blanket. ergoPouch has an entire line of safe sleepwear that will hold up to the toughest little sleepers.

Best of Infant Sleep Garments for Budget-Friendly: Swaddle Me

Swaddle Me is often the go-to for that experienced mom down the street. They work well, wash well, and most importantly, come in a ton of different styles. Swaddle Me has different swaddling options, but they all are meant to be user-friendly and will become your go-to from day one. The biggest selling feature for Swaddle Me? We love that you can get nearly all of their swaddles in a multi-pack, meaning you’ll never run out of safe-to-use swaddles for your infant. 

Infant Sleep Garments Ollie

Best of Infant Sleep Garments for Multiples: Ollie Swaddle 

The Ollie Swaddle features super soft moisture-wicking fabric that will be gentle against your baby’s skin. The custom hook and loop closure will ensure that your baby won’t break open the swaddle and wake themselves (or each other) up. The stretch fabric ensures that you can get a snug yet loose fit to ensure proper hip development. There is only one size ever needed with the Ollie Swaddle so you don’t have to worry about mixing up sizes or buying more and the flexible 2-way design allows you to safely transition baby from arms-in to arms –out. They are so beloved you must grab them when they’re in stock!

Best of Infant Sleep Garments for Longest-Lasting: Kyte BABY Sleep Bag Swaddler

Kyte BABY has often been our go-to for cozy, eco-friendly pjs and onesies, but their sleep garments have pushed us into total fandom! Their Sleep Bag Swaddler is new to the game, allowing you to safely swaddle your little one in their high-quality bamboo fabric from day 1. The adjustable swaddle gives your little one the perfect fit every time, even as they grow. The best part – once you’re done swaddling, remove the swaddle band and you’re left with a sleep bag perfect for your little one to continue using!

The Scoop: Baby Boldly Birth Bag – Fully Prepared

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Preparedness and Motherhood rarely go hand in hand, but Baby Boldly has created an all-in-one hospital bag that will do just that. As a third-time mom-to-be, I should know everything that I am going to need to bring to the hospital for labor and delivery.  However, as a third-time mom-to-be, I have two other little loves to worry about packing for as well.  On top of everyday life – school, kids’ activities, work, meal planning, laundry, cleaning, etc. – preparing for baby #3 has been a little more stressful and a lot more time-crunched than I expected. Having the Baby Boldly Birth Bag: Fully Prepared pre-packed and shipped directly to me has checked at least one thing off of my list. 

Truly Comprehensive – 

With over 30+ unique pieces, my birth bag was packed ensuring I had every essential, not just some of them. With items to help with labor, nursing, showering, and any down-time in between I am confident that I will be covered.  Additionally, 1 thing I love is that there is still room left in the main bag for me to add in any personal items I might choose to bring as well. 

Non-toxic + Practical – 

I guess you could consider me a “Scrunchy Mom” since I strive to find a balance between choosing products that are as natural as possible but also are convenient.  The toiletries and personal care items included were sourced to ensure that they are non-toxic and contain quality ingredients especially as momma’s senses are heightened during this unique time in her life.  My bag included items from brands I was already familiar with and confident in like Pharmacopia, Burt’s Bees, Schmitt’s, Tom’s, Earth Mama, Bamboobies, and Rael. 

The weekender bag itself is made from easy-to-clean nylon with vegan leather accents and features magnetic closures, a zippered top, and 10 pockets + a toiletry bag. As someone who typically packs in cubes and travel pouches galore, I am thrilled for the organizational options and the future possibilities to use it as a diaper bag, pumping bag, or duffle.

Designed by Mamas, For Mamas – 

Maybe my favorite aspect of the Birth Bag: Fully Prepared is the support and thoughtfulness that comes along with it.  Right when you open the box, there is a note from the Baby Boldly team encouraging you and letting you know that you are not alone and that sentiment follows you throughout with details like a tag stating “You Got This” on the 2 in 1 Nursing/Infant Carrier Cover and “Strong as a Mother” written on the reusable water bottle and grippy socks.  Plus, in a more subtle way the inclusion of a sentimental book (for when you want to disconnect), honey sticks (hospital approved for energy), and a massage ball (cramps can be no joke!) show that this bag is the ultimate gift to yourself or a momma-to-be you love. It completely prepares you for birth in a hospital or birth center.

Thank you to Baby Boldly for making this sponsored post possible.

Our Favorite Shark Tank Products for Baby

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

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!

The Importance of Mom’s Sleep

by Christine Swearingen 1 Comment

Kim West and Zulay Henao, an actress and soon-to-be mom, chat about the importance of moms’ sleep. Sleep is important for everyone, especially when you’re pregnant, so we can’t wait to dig in.

Kim West, “The Sleep Lady”, has been a family therapist for 27 years and has been sleep coaching families for 25 of those years. She’s also a mom of two!

What’s up with sleep in pregnancy?

Zulay has slept like a baby her entire life. Up until pregnancy, she’s never had issues sleeping. Sleep is greatly affected when we are pregnant. Zulay has found extreme relief with her bbhugme Pregnancy Pillow. They have an amazing line of products, and we love their pregnancy pillow. It supports your lower back, your pelvis, your knees, your ankles. It is a life-changing pregnancy pillow that is super comfy.

Zulay is 25 weeks pregnant and has noticed a lot of different patterns with her sleep during pregnancy. The first three months, she lost a lot of sleep because she was sick all the time. Then sleep deprivation kicked in for three months. Cut to now, the morning sickness, all that stuff is gone, and but she struggles to get comfortable – although that’s changed in the last two weeks because of her bbhugme pillow.

Zulay and her partner actually battle over the pillow because they love it so much. Zulay says “Everybody should have this pillow.” She thinks bbhugme should actually make one that looks the same and just market it a different way for the everyday person. To sleep, she positions it in a way that supports her belly and is in between her knees, which is really important for her lower back.

Women commonly get reflux, particularly farther along in the pregnancy, leg cramps, and of course, having to get up to go to the bathroom. The hormone changes also cause a little nervousness, anxiety, and excitement all at the same time. Some women also find that the later in the day that they eat, the harder it is to fall into a nice deep sleep. It’s really better to have a few hours for digestion, especially when pregnant because reflux is more common.

What are some things you can do to help you sleep better?

There’s some mixed advice about taking a warm bath, but if you can, of course a warm bath or a warm shower is really helpful for sleep. There’s been a lot of interesting studies on lavender aromatherapy, and in particular lavender. Using a diffuser or a pillow spray, or even putting some on a Kleenex on your nightstand if you don’t like it too close to you.

They say 79% of pregnant women have disturbed sleep during their pregnancy. This is the time mamas should be resting up to get ready for baby. If struggling with insomnia, be careful about taking a nap during the day, and opt for a set bedtime and wake-up routine. Maybe it’s making a nice cup of tea and sitting down to read a book, or just relaxing and doing some progressive muscle relaxation exercises.

Short, meditation exercises, 10-15 minutes in length, can help mom stay focused and get a little rejuvenation. Exercise is another important factor for sleep. Even stretching or simply walking can be great, especially if you’re struggling with leg cramps. Vitamin D and Omega-3 have also been found to help moms find some better sleep.

And, of course, we love the bbhugme pillow for mom sleep. A quote from Zulay herself:

bhugme, you guys rock. Just know that you’re making my nights yummier and cozier, and I love this pillow so much.

-ZUlay Henao

Moms, we truly hope you can use these tips to find some rest while growing and awaiting the arrival of your little one. Mom’s sleep is so important, especially when pregnant.

Thank you to bbhugme for making this IG Live and sponsored blog post possible.

The Best Baby Monitor for Security and Safety: Evoz Vision

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post from our friends at Evoz.

One of the products that falls into the category of essential baby registry items is the baby monitor. Baby monitors are critical to any new parent’s arsenal of must-have products, as they provide parents with the one element every new parent wishes for: peace of mind. When it comes to baby monitors, we’re huge fans of the Evoz Monitor for so many reasons, and it’s no shock that parents rave about all of the benefits. Whether you’re cleaning the house, checking in from work, or out on date night, the Evoz Monitor is the baby monitor best pick for your household, especially when it comes to safety and security.

baby monitor

The Evoz Monitor is a WiFi monitor, which means it can support remote access. What does that mean for you? Remote access means you have the ability to use your phone or tablet as the monitor viewer, so you no longer have to worry about charging another screen or misplacing the monitor viewer. Separate viewers are often unreliable, with low-quality images and batteries that don’t charge. By using your iPhone or iPad, you can always have access to the monitor, no matter where you are.  When it comes to security and remote access, many parents worry about the possibility of their monitor being hacked. However, Evoz has a firm commitment to cybersecurity and always follows the best cybersecurity practices to ensure total safety.

Another reason we absolutely love the Evoz Monitor? Its remote access is second to none and makes it possible to go out and live life while baby sleeps soundly at home. Whether baby is home with the nanny and you check in remotely from work, or baby is home with grandma and you check in from date night, Evoz makes it so easy to check in on your little one from the ease of your phone or tablet. We know you already have your phone on you at all times (who doesn’t?), which is why Evoz makes it so easy for parents to stay-in-touch, even from afar.

baby monitor

Another feature we love about the Evoz Baby Monitor is the cry detection. Evoz is the industry leader with their true cry alerts, as opposed to noise alerts that would fire off if your partner is at the crib singing to your baby, for example. Evoz’s approach is patented, and in keeping with their commitment to security and privacy, its cry detection works by analyzing the audio right in the monitor. Unlike other baby monitor companies, Evoz doesn’t send audio from your home up to their servers to analyze cry detection. Furthermore, Evoz was the first baby monitor to automatically track your baby’s wake-up times based on when they start crying, which helps if you’re keeping notes on your baby’s sleep for sleep training.

If you’re looking for a baby monitor to ease all of your new parent fears on sleeping, security, and safety, Evoz checks all of those boxes. Not only is their monitor easy-to-use with a chic design, but their commitment to safety and security is top of the line. We also love the element of re-purposing old tech as a dedicated baby monitor screen, so it’s a wonderful way to be eco-conscious at the same time.

Thank you to our partners at Evoz for making this sponsored post possible.
