What’s New on Gugu: June 24, 2019

This week we are featuring a number of products from brands we love! A couple of these items will be great for summer activities and travel. A couple others promote independence for our little ones. There’s also an excellent budget-friendly convertible stroller to check out!

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

Copper Pearl – Asher: The newest addition to one of our favorite lines. Asher, a beautiful heather gray is the perfect gender neutral color, and comes in a multi-use cover, top knot hat, and knit swaddle blanket. Copper Pearl’s line never ceases to amaze us with it’s buttery soft fabric. These are a must-have for baby’s arrival!

Bblüv Arenä: Perfect for summer trips to the beach with babe in tow, the Arenä will bring the fun to you! Great for keeping baby cool on a hot day, this allows them to safely splash around in a pop up beach pool. Plus, it sets up instantly and comes with it’s own ‘filling pail’ and travel case!

Skip Hop 2-in-1 Infant Seat: Skip Hop has created an adorable 2-in-1 infant seat that easily transforms from play time to snack time. Giving baby a great amount of support, this seat gives baby a new perspective on the world! Plus, it’s easy to clean in the washing machine!

Evenflo Gold Pivot Xpand: This budget friendly convertible stroller offers a great push and easy-to-use modular system. Converting to a double without any extra adapters, this stroller offers 22 configurations and can be purchased as a travel system. Plus it’s sleek and can go head-to-head with far more expensive options on the market!

Grabease Double Sided Toothbrush: Created to make this daily routine easier, the Grabease Toothbrush truly gives babes 6 months – 4 years the ability to independently brush. Simply place the Grabease Toothbrush in your little one’s hands and watch them quickly say ‘bye bye’ to plaque! Plus we love Grabease’s commitment to giving back. With each toothbrush purchase, they will not only give back but also help provide operations to children with cleft palates. ‘Grab’ one for your kiddo today!

This week I am introducing two brand new companies to WNOG and highlighting three other products that are from companies we already love. Many of these products are great for travel and are easy to take on the go with your little ones. Plus, this week they are all absolutely brand new to the baby and toddler world. They also make great baby shower or birthday gifts. I am very excited to share these new items with you!

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

CoralUV: We first fell in love with the CoralUV Sanitizer when we saw them at the Chicago Baby Show last summer. Now they are nearing their full launch with a brand new UV Sanitizer. Cleaning bottles, pacifiers, teethers, and more, we love how easy the CoralUV is to use. We also love that this can be used well beyond the bottle stage to keep household items clean too! A perfect time saving gift for any new parent!

Wayb Pico: We have been (not so) patiently waiting the arrival of this new travel seat. You may have heard us talk about it before, but we think the Pico will change the travel game with little ones. Suitable for kids 2-5 years, this forward facing seat’s frame is made from aerospace-grade aluminum, making it super lightweight (8 lbs!). They also use a mesh fabric to avoid using foam, which can be filled with toxins. Shipping in 1-2 weeks, check out the Wayb Pico for all your summer travel!

Humble-Bee Nurse-Sling: Another JPMA find from this past Spring, Humble-Bee’s Nurse-Sling may be the answer to all postpartum and nursing back pain. The Nurse-sling takes the stress off of your back and holds your little one up to feed. Plus, you can easily adjust the size and it is machine washable. A perfect unique, baby shower gift!

Bumbleride Era: Just announced by our friends at Bumbleride, the Era is their first ever reversible seat stroller. We love Bumbleride’s commitment to creating eco-friendly products that will hold up for active families. Era is an all-terrain stroller that will also be perfect for daily use. Pair it with a compatible car seat to create your own travel system too!

Skip Hop New Zoo Characters: We love Skip Hop’s fun line of Zoo Characters, which give a little extra pizzazz to both home and school activities. Introducing two new friends to the lineup; Nova Narwhal and Dillon Dragon. Their new backpacks are perfect for summer camp, especially with a matching lunchbox. We love their snack containers and straw bottles for on the go and they make a perfect toddler gift!

Benefits of Skin to Skin, Simplified

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

There are so many benefits of skin-to-skin contact between a parent and baby—it can help to reduce symptoms of postpartum depression and stress, can help babe cry less, boost babe’s immune system, increase milk production—to name a few. But, sometimes, we could use a little help to make it happen more frequently and easily.

We found the Joeyband and love what it’s doing for bonding and breastfeeding. It is made of a unique, four-way stretch material that creates a “deep pressure touch” for baby—easing both of you into this new world comfortably and securely. With its ergonomic design and support, it has proven to increase breastfeeding success. It brings babe to the breast, instead of bringing the breast to the baby. The hands-free style relieves pressure from the back, neck and shoulders—really helping mama through this new-and-amazing-but-sometimes-challenging time.

Not only does the Joeyband offer comfort for mama, but it’s quite soothing for babes as well by “naturally mimicking the womb.” Plus, it’s easy to use, easy to clean, unisex, adjustable, and can be used after a C-section. And, bonus, there’s no annoying knot to worry about.

It’s also the exclusive skin-to skin product of La Leche League International, and is used in more than 100 hospitals in North America. This expert-recommended product is an amazing solution to many of the pain points felt during the fourth trimester.

Thoughts from a colicky baby’s parent:

“As a mommy of a colicky baby, I found it so hard to get my baby to latch on without a struggle. I can honestly say for the first time my baby did not struggle to latch on. He felt secure and safe during feeding. The best feeling in the world.” – Patricia L.

This week’s new finds highlight some great Earth Day friendly selections. Reusable food pouches, baby food makers, and food grade silicone bottles are all great new items for the eco-friendly family. You will also notice some pop culture trends popping up this week. Baby Shark anyone? For loads of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Baby Brezza Food Makers and Reusable Pouches: Earth Day celebrations always remind me to make smart choices regarding the products we use in everyday life. Baby Brezza has continued to make the ‘homemade baby food game’ a reality with easy to use machines and reusable pouches! Simply pop your favorite fruit and/or veggies in the container (love the Glass for eco-friendly or the new Deluxe) and watch them cook and blend with ease. Pour any delicious mixture into the reusable pouch and you’re good to go! Added bonus – the pouches are top-rack dishwasher safe!

Hatch Maternity x Nordstrom: As we (not so) patiently await the arrival of Baby Sussex, it has become much easier to attain our own ‘Markle Sparkle!’ The new collaboration between Hatch Maternity and Nordstrom highlights items from a brand we love so much. Pair together classic tops, pants, and dresses to keep things comfy and chic!

Baby Shark Toys and Walker: The ‘Baby Shark’ craze doesn’t seem to be leaving us anytime soon. Wowwee, the brains behind ‘Fingerlings’ continue to create engaging toys for our little ones. We have a love/hate relationship with their line of singing shark characters, which will instantly burn that catchy tune into your brain! Plus, coming in October is their newest toy, a brand new Baby Shark inspired walker for baby.

Boon NURSH Silicone Bottles: Another Earth Day find, the Boon NURSH bottle system utilizes a special bagged venting system that is reusable. Ideal for preventing gas, easily squeeze the silicone pouch to remove any excess air before feeding your babe. Plus, all parts are dishwasher safe!

Skip Hop Greenwich Convertible Hip Pack: With Mother’s Day around the corner, we love this sleek take on the fanny pack. Great for travel, we love this new hands-free accessory to hold the essentials. Pair with a diaper bag for an excellent gift for any mama-to-be!

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

This week I’m focusing on brands that I adore. Some of these products are new to market while others are new for the season. For loads of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page! (Also, these opinions are 100% my own and I have not received any products in exchange for placement in What’s New on Gugu!)

Joeyband: Immediately after giving birth, you will be encouraged to have skin-to-skin time as much as possible. While this is so beneficial to both parents and baby, the Joeyband makes it even more convenient! Perfect for in-hospital use, the Joeyband will help parents manage this bonding period while preventing infant falls. Also exceptional for use after a C-Section to allow healing mothers to easily keep baby close during recovery.

Babo Botanicals: Having two boys with severe eczema, I have tried pretty much every fragrance-free product on the market. Babo Botanicals offers an extremely wide range of skin care options for my kids. From sunscreen to diaper cream, cleansing wipes to shampoo, they have a natural product for every member of your family!

Copper Pearl Spring Patterns: Copper Pearl does it again with yet another round of adorable burp cloths and bibdanas. Giving us adorable Spring vibes, new patterns – Sassy, Holly, Morgan, Alta (and others!) are a perfect warm weather addition to any family’s garden. Plus they hold up well after multiple washes and act as the perfect accessory to any outfit!

Kindred Bravely Louisa Leggings: While most of Kindred Bravely’s product line is at the top of our favorites, we hadn’t seen their leggings in person until a few weeks ago. We were blown away! They are stretchy, comfortable, and extremely high-quality. Plus, they are a thick enough material and won’t thin out like so many other maternity/postpartum leggings. A true must have for your maternity wardrobe!

Skip Hop Play to Night Expanding Travel Crib: An excellent solution to traveling with your little one! We love this new travel crib from Skip Hop, which starts as a cozy sleep environment and expands to a much larger play space for baby or toddler. Equipped with a travel bag, this is the perfect item to take with while visiting family or friends!

We’re back with another What’s New on Gugu! This week we’re sharing some items that are brand new to the market and others are oldies but goodies that you may not know about. For loads of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Preggo Pickles: After trying this product at a baby show this past weekend, I was blown away! Not only are they delicious but they will truly satisfy that pickle craving that haunts many moms during pregnancy. Their unique flavors have also been created to support pregnant/new mom challenges (i.e. nausea and nursing). As an added bonus, they are extremely low in sodium when compared to other pickles on the market. So pregnant mamas crunch away!

bblüv Foöd and Döse: While National Snack Month may have ended (bye February!) we are still loving these new food storage containers from bblüv. Perfect for meals on the go, Foöd (coming soon!) is leak and odor proof and will keep your food warm (or cold) with it’s insulated walls. Plus the top can be used as a shallow bowl (with built in spoon!). Paired with the Döse stackable snack container, you will be set for on-the-go eating!

Magnetic Me Clothing: While these are not new to the market, the Magnetic Me Footies are always on my list of must-haves for new parents. The magnetic closure on these newborn essentials will be a game changer for those early days. The fabrics are so soft (I love the eco-friendly modal) and the patterns are adorable!

Toofeze: You’ve all been there (or will be soon!). Your little one is in pain from teething and nothing seems to be helping. Until Toofeze! A teether made of food-grade silicone and stainless steel, your baby will instantly be drawn to the cool relief. When the stainless disc finally does warm up, simply stick it into a glass of cool (or ice) water and it will instantly chill. This will quickly become one of baby’s favorite toys.

Solly Baby Spring Collection: Another oldie but goodie, we often recommend the Solly Wrap to our users as a must-have for the fourth trimester. Not only do they have exceptional wrap carriers, but we also love the swaddle blankets and layette sets. Their new Spring collection is few of beautiful colors, and even a few patterns all great for Mom or Dad!

What to Pack in Your Hospital Bag for #3

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

We’re so excited to have a guest post today by our urban mama, Megan – she just delivered her third child and she’s here to tell you all about everything she packed in her hospital bag this time around! You can follow Megan at her hysterically funny Instagram, GirlGoneChildinNYC.

Hi Gugu Guru Moms! I’m GirlgonechildinNYC and I just returned home from having my third baby in four years. Yes, I do not how it keeps happening. I’m a planner, an expert packer for vacations and a somewhat know-it-all when it comes to new mom products. Some women geek out on fashion and shoes, I geek out on new breast pumps. I work on the Merch Team over at Jetblack and my job is to know all the coolest new products coming on the market for moms and babies. I got a ton of questions about what I was packing in my hospital bag for baby #3 so Gugu Guru was nice enough to let me share all my top must have mom products for your hospital bag here.

The Hospital Bag: The Signature NONA Bag is my go to for everything parenting and as a bonus it’s beautiful. I use it for everyday essentials as a working mom to lugging the kids around the city. It’s even spacious enough for me to use to as my hospital bag for my personal items. You can see more about the NONA bag in our fashion gift guide, too.

A Soft Robe: I love a good soft robe that is also photo worthy and I love the cute designs at Pink Blush. This robe was a hit at the hospital by other moms and even the nursing staff!

A File Folder: You go to the hospital with a ton of paper and you leave the hospital with a ton of papers. Make it easier on yourself by packing a file folder to store everything so you don’t lose any important information.

Slippers: Comfy slippers are key to a good hospital stay. Whether you’re pacing the hallways before an epidural or taking your first steps after a C-sections you want to be in something comfy. I’m loving my new Birdies. These indoor/outdoor slippers are perfect for feeling like a Queen after delivery.

Portable Speaker: While I’ve had three C-sections I did do my time in labor with my first son at 57 hours and trust me, it would have been a lot worse if I did not have a portable speaker with me. There is only so much daytime TV one can handle. Also, if you get a cool doctor she may even let you take the speaker into the OR if you have a c-section. My middle child was pulled out of my belly to Billy Joel’s Uptown Girl and my newest daughter was born to Ziggy Stardust blasting in the OR.

Pillow and Eye Pillow: I learned the hard way to bring my own pillow to the hospital. Hospital pillows aren’t known for being super comfortable and you’ll want as much sleep as you can get with a new baby. Luckily my favorite pillow, Night Pillow makes a Compression Travel Case that makes traveling with it super convenient. Also, don’t forget an Eye Pillow to help you get some shut eye.

Comfy PJs: Comfy PJ’s are key to lying around the hospital. I love my pajamas from Bestaroo and the V-neck makes it easy to breastfeed in.

Mom’s Going Home Outfit: When you finally make your escape from the hospital with your new bundle of joy don’t forget something comfy and easy to put on. I love a good cashmere matching sweat suit like the one I have from Design History.

Toiletry Bag: I love my toiletry bag from Hudson+Bleecker!

Under Eye Masks: I swear by a good under eye mask and my favorite is still Baggage Claim by Wander Beauty.

Brightening Essence: After labor or major surgery you’ll need something to brighten up your face and bonus if it’s all natural plus it works, Matrescence.

Dry Shampoo: We all have our favorite brand depending on hair type.

Waterproof Mascara: There will be tears and cameras. Regular mascara isn’t going to cut it.

Towel: Hospital towels are not known for being large and even though you’ll be feeling 10 lbs lighter you’ll still need a bigger towel than they offer.

Compression Sock: When you think compression socks you might think little old lady but Vim&Vigr makes the most stylish compression socks and you’ll need them for that postpartum swelling.

Corset: I’ve slipped a Bellefit on 24 hours after both kids were born even with a C-section. Corsets can help reduce swelling, they can protect and support the c section incision and also help with recovering from Diastiasis Recti which I unfortunately get having big babies. I also recommend purchasing some in several different sizes to help with your waistline as time goes on.

Diapers for Her: Yes we’ve all seen the horrified post by Chrissy Teigen but truth is the hospital underwear is awful and pads just don’t do the trick postpartum.

Stool Softener: Did you know most hospitals won’t let you leave until you’ve had a postpartum poop. The only thing worse about pushing a baby out of you or being split open is being expected to poop 24 hours later. If you don’t like taking pills might I suggest a nice smooth move tea as well.

Lollipops: If you’re in labor and at risk of having a C-section you’ll be cut off from food and water which isn’t pleasant when you’re having contractions. The silver lining? You’re allowed to have Lollipops. Don’t get stuck with Dum-Dums and bring the Yum Organics good stuff.

Mom Washer: I don’t have to explain why you need this but Fridababy makes a cutely marketed product called the Fridet so it makes the reality of why you can’t wash yourself a little less painful.

Ice Pack: This particular ice pack is not for your head, it’s for your vagina. I’ve never had natural birth but my girlfriends have told me Vagikool does wonders.

Femme Wipes: Parasol makes the cutest little wipes for women plus they’re flushable and biodegradable.

Nursing Pillow: The nursing pillow at the hospital is key if you’re planning on breastfeeding. The last thing you want to do after labor or a c-section is to get a cramp in your back. The Nook Niche feeding pillow is changing the game for nursing moms everywhere.

Nursing Bra: I first saw the Milx nursing bra a few months ago at mom event at Of Mercer. I love that this bra doesn’t have snaps and I can easily just pull the bra to the side and it also is pump friendly. It’s the most comfortable.

Nipple Balm: I always love the products from Earth Mama Organics and their nipple balm has always helped keep my nipples from cracking.

Nursing Top: Loyal Hana has one of the cutest nursing tanks with the hidden zipper design. You can’t even tell it’s a breastfeeding top. Plus you get a wow factor to other moms when you bust out your boob with the hidden zipper in a public place.

Nursing Consultant: Boober is an NYC based lactation consultant who can come to you or answer questions over the phone about nursing. Even if you don’t live in the NYC area I recommend you finding a lactation consultant near you to help with breastfeeding. Especially with your first child and you’re new to the whole process. I personally find nursing harder than pregnancy and you had a someone help you throughout pregnancy why not nursing?

Swaddles: ErgoPouch is one of the easiest to use swaddles on the market! Plus they have adorable designs too.

Baby Hats: I always find the cutest newborn hats and mittens on Etsy or Monica & Andy have the best sets too.

Portable Sound Machine: Wavhello Soundbub is a product I will never stop raving about. I love multifunctional products and the Soundbub is a sound machine and portable speaker in one. Inside the womb is noisy so when the baby comes they aren’t used to the silence. The sound machine works wonders for this transition.

Sleepers: I always bring several sleepers for the baby to change into after birth.

Coconut Oil: Coconut Oil is key to putting on the babies butt before they have their first poop. The Coconut oil helps wipe away all that sticky meconium.

Infant Car Seat: Always bring your infant car seat to the hospital for the ride home. A game changer car seat/stroller on the market right now is the Doona. It’s perfect for city living and hopping in and out of a taxi.

Something Instagramable: Even your ex-boyfriend who doesn’t post on Facebook posts a picture of his new baby, right? I always pack a cute swaddle and name tag to make that first picture extra adorable.

Going Home Outfit: Don’t forget to pack an adorable and seasonally appropriate outfit for the baby to wear home. My go to brand for the cold weather is Polarn O Pyret.

Electronics

Camera
Extra Long Phone Charger (you never know how far away the socket will be)
SD Card Adapter
Laptop
Airpods

Nurses Gifts: I always pack a small gift for the nurses. Truth is: if the hospital catches on fire I want her to like me more than the girl next to me.

Coffee Gift Cards
Sephora does amazing $15 goodie bags
Matcha Sticks
Grab a gift card from a manicure place close by the hospital

Sibling Gifts: Becoming a Big Sibling is a lot for kid to adjust to. Sometimes a little gift from the newest addition helps ease the transition.

Big Bro/Big Sis Tattoos
Baby Doll Carrier
Big Bro/Big Sis T-shirt
Activity Book

DIY Circular Playmat with See Kate Sew

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

See Kate Sew partners with Gugu Guru once again to share a fantastic DIY tutorial. This time? A DIY circular playmat. This tutorial features Tranquilo Mat. Don’t forget to enter for a chance to win one of these soothing, sleep miracles at the end of this post.

I’m excited to be back on Gugu Guru today with a new baby and a new sewing tutorial! You can check out more sewing and crafts at SeeKateSew.com! Today’s tutorial is a circular playmat that you can whip up in an hour! This playmat is great for throwing on the floor for tummy time and stashing in a diaper bag for outings. We use this playmat paired with the Tranquilo Mat to make tummy time pleasant for everyone! You can read my review of the Tranquilo Mat over at See Kate Sew today and download the free printable pattern for this playmat!

I used high contrast fabrics for the mat and it’s reversible! The high contrast will keep baby’s attention which I always find to be calming for them! This playmat finishes about 3′ across, which is a perfect size for a newborn baby. I’m guessing we’ll be able to use this until she crawls! I added a fringe trim around the edges which gives it a fun, modern twist!

Materials//

-1 yard cotton fabric
-1 yard cotton contrast cotton
-1 yard batting
-2″ black fringe trim
–Free Pattern download

INSTRUCTIONs//

Use 1/2″ seam allowance.

Download the pattern pdf and print off the pattern piece at 100% (DO NOT SCALE). The file will print on 6 pages. Trim the extra space around the pages and tape them together like this:

Cut out the pattern piece.

Fold 1 yard of fabric in half longways and then in half again the other way so you have a little corner of fabric. There will be fabric folds on two sides of the fabric. Place the pattern piece corner (where it says ‘6’) right on that corner and pin it to the fabric.

Cut out 1 piece from each fabric and 1 piece from batting.

Pin the batting to the back of the front fabric.

Pin the fringe trim around the front piece, with the fringe facing towards the middle of the mat.

Lay the front and back fabric together, with right sides together (the batting will be on the back of one of these pieces). Sew together at 1/2″ around the circle, leaving a 4″ opening for turning.

Turn the whole thing right side out and press the edges well. Then topstitch 1/4″ from the fringe. Add a little X of stitching in the middle of the mat to keep the layers together.
