Best Cool Mist Humidifier: Crane

Why do you need the best cool mist humidifier? Three words: that first cold. Oy. Poor little babe is sniffling, coughing, being introduced to devices that go up their nose—it’s not really fun. For either of you. But, the amazing part of that first cold? You learn about a laundry list of items that become your go-to sniffle staples.

One of these essentials is a cool mist humidifier, and luckily, we found the best one. Say hello to the Crane Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier—the genius, filter-free option that is the key to peaceful Zzz’s.

Moist air is essential for stuffed baby nostrils (and adult nostrils for that matter). It makes it easier to breathe, especially when you’re congested and not enjoying that new-to-you annoying feeling. It helps babes sleep better and eat with a little less frustration. Humidity also makes it easier to clean mucus-filled noses—anything to make that job easier, we’ll take it.

Since the goal is to promote sweet snoozes, the Crane’s quiet-as-a-whisper sound doesn’t interrupt babe’s favorite lullaby. Plus, unlike many other humidifiers that require a great deal of cleaning to prevent bacteria build-up, the anti-microbial material reduces mold and bacteria growth by up to 99.96%. It also shuts off automatically when the water level gets low—one less thing to worry about at 4 a.m.

We love the incredible range of colors and styles that beautifully complement its aesthetically pleasing design (a next-level stylish option that outdoes the bulky tank). In addition to the rainbow of awesomeness available, you can also choose from Hello Kitty, an elephant, frog, monkey and more.

Crane just released their top fill humidifier, which is easy to fill, dishwasher safe and super easy to clean. It comes with an aroma diffuser and optional color changing nightlight.

If you don’t yet have a cool mist humidifier, you might want to purchase one ahead of the first cold—to avoid that midnight trip to the pharmacy. Good luck! Let us know what you think in the comments below.

What’s New on Gugu: Chicago Baby Show Edition

We have found some excellent new products this week, including a limited edition car seat stroller and a fun feeding accessory. These items will all make great gifts for any new parents-to-be. As we get closer to the end of the year, look out for many new products coming for 2020!

For a number of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Doona Dusk Limited Edition: Exclusive to PishPoshBaby.com, Doona has released their sleekest stroller car seat. Go straight from car to strolling in elegance! Complete with leatherette detailing, a complimentary rain cover and essentials bag, we love the upgraded details!

Grabease All Over Bib: This bib is the solution to one of life’s biggest messes – feeding time with a toddler! This oversized bib has an elastic hem, which will easily fit over nearly any highchair. Plus the stain-resistant fabric is easy to pop in the washing machine (or even to rinse in the sink!).

Woven Nook: One of our favorite ways to accent any nursery is a fun pillow sitting on your glider/rocking chair. Woven Nook has our favorite new collection of high-quality neutral pillow covers and blankets, that will find a great place in any nursery or playroom. Plus they are affordable so you can buy multiple and refresh your décor as needed!

bökee: You’re holding a screaming baby and all she wants to do is eat. You rush to make the bottle, but as you reach for the lid you knock it over causing a big spill and instant frustration. Insert the bökee- the first feeding accessory to turn this whole process into a one-handed job! The bökee suctions to any countertop, grips the bottle (or sippy cup/pump products/etc) and allows you the freedom to hold and soothe your little one.

Bella Mama: Invested in helping all moms-to-be have a healthy pregnancy, Bella Mama is created from evidence-based nutrition info in a month-by-month guide. There are also coaching options, where you can work one-on-one to ensure you’re filling your body with healthy choices.

Please note that these opinions are 100% my own and I have not received any products in exchange for placement in What’s New on Gugu!

What’s New on Gugu: August 15, 2019

While we took a brief hiatus due to our Working Mother Registry + Giveaways (if you haven’t checked them out, there are some AWESOME giveaways on our blog), we are back at it in full swing this week for What’s New on Gugu. Instead of highlighting 5 new items this week, I’m back with 10 items that have launched (or will be launching) in the baby market. From strollers to nursery gear and everything in between, take a look at some of our newest finds!

For a number of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

All of Gooselings products have been created to help add calm to our hectic daily lives with kids. These high-quality duvets and duvet covers are the perfect thing to bring your family together during playtime and add that sense of calm to the end of any work day. Plus they are easily packed for plane or car travel.

These are expected to be released in February 2020!

Skip Hop Feeding Line and Convertible High Chair: Skip Hop has launched both their feeding line and their Sit-to-Step High Chair! Great for infants and toddlers alike, this high chair reclines for easy bottle feeding, slides right up to the table, and turns into a toddler step stool. The feeding line is full of must have essentials, great for feeding at home or on the go.

Tranquilo Products: Looking for a solution to help soothe baby when nothing seems to be working?! Look no further than Tranquilo! Their portable vibrating mat helps mimic the sounds from mom’s womb, instantly helping calm baby. The baby soothe massager is also great for use at home or on the go.

Finnbin has stepped up this theory, providing high-quality Baby Boxes filled with all sorts of newborn necessities. Easy to move around the house and much more affordable than today’s standard bassinet, the Finnbin can definitely be your go-to baby gift!

What’s New on Gugu: Chicago Baby Show Edition

Out + About with Evenflo: Innovative Gear You’ll Love

Outings with your little can contain struggles and juggles—but they don’t have to. Evenflo developed a line of popular products that are replacing those moments with ease and comfort. A pioneer in the baby market, Evenflo’s innovative gear perfectly fuses security and comfort with high-tech designs to deliver safe and enjoyable out-and-about experiences for you and your babe.

Evenflo’s patented SensorSafe™ technology connects you to your little one the entire time, in real time. It’s built into the clip of their car seats and strollers and alerts you, through the app, if babe gets unbuckled or if the temperature is too warm. When verbal communication doesn’t yet exist, this connectivity to babe’s needs is invaluable—and it is found in the products below.

One stroller we absolutely love is the Pivot Xplore All-Terrain Stroller Wagon. It easily transforms into an adventure-ready wagon—with the flip of a handle. This change lets you stroll with up to two kids, up to age five! The terrain wheels make sandy, beach day strolls simple and joyful, while the UPF 50+ canopies are an incredible add-on (one less thing to worry about).

We also found the Evenflo® Gold Shyft™ Modular Travel System to be a game-changer. This versatile, infant-to-toddler stroller offers six different modes of use and a three-position reclining seat to keep babe smiling through adventures, big and small. Forward-facing or parent-facing, this sleek, functional Shyft rolled onto our list as soon as we learned about it.

Road trip? Whether you’re getting groceries or going to Grandma’s, it’s essential to find a car seat that’s secure and safe. The built-in security aspects of the Evenflo Gold SensorSafe™ SecureMax™ Smart Infant Car Seat caught our attention right away. Along with the SensorSafe™ to keep you at peace while you’re behind the wheel, the ultra-simple harness makes it easy to adjust babe’s constantly-changing size. Another tremendous feature to note: the SafeZone Load Leg Technology. It stabilizes the car seat and reduces rotation by 50%.

Lastly, this all-in-one convertible car seat features a grow-with-me design that can stay with your kiddo from 4lbs to 120lbs! Designed for 10 years of use, the Evenflo Gold SensorSafe™ EveryStage™ Smart All-in-One Convertible Car Seat has an in-seat reclining feature to offer extra support and comfort, and more importantly, has EasyClick™ installation. This feature makes your little one’s car seat 3X tighter than the competition—ensuring a wiggle-free, protected journey.

Wherever you go, Evenflo has a pioneering product to lead you down your path with ease. Check them out (Use code GUGUGURU10 for 10% off any of these items) and enjoy the ride.

Thank you to Evenflo for making this sponsored post possible!
