Swaddle Sleeves: Bringing Sound Sleep for All

When we have babies at home, sound sleep can be the difference between sanity and chaos. Transitioning your baby out of swaddle shouldn’t be a nightmare. Of course, they want the sense of safety and security that comes with a swaddle. It’s also just natural that you want to keep baby warm. But you have to start somewhere, right? Using swaddling products from Two Baby Bears & Co. will allow you to do just that. Give your baby the safety they want with these easy, simple, and safe swaddle products.

Meet the 1-stop shop for safe and easy swaddle transitioning

Transitioning out of the swaddle doesn’t have to be miserable any longer! Once your baby is rolling over or you feel that they are ready to leave the comfort of the swaddle, use any one of the Swaddle Transition Sleeves™ with versatile body options to dampen the startle reflex and help baby get used to a less contained environment. The removable sleeves safely act as a buffer against what remains of the startle reflex, and the best part is that you can pick and choose. Try the different sleeves to find the perfect fit for your baby!

More sleep for baby = more sleep for you. Win, win!

What comes next? More Sleeves!

Well, those babies don’t just stop growing after the swaddle transitioning stage, so we decided to grow with your baby! We know that some babies still love the coziness of having their arms covered, or others who love to chew on their hands as they go to sleep, and even others who like their hands covered so they don’t scratch themselves silly. Whatever your baby needs, you can rest assured that we have your baby covered as they grow with our Beyond the Transition Sleeves™ collection!

Choose one or try them all! Every age and stage of your child is taken care of. Check out the Two Baby Bears & Co. website to decide which product is perfect for your baby’s current stage and needs. Use exclusive code GUGU10 for 10% off.

The Best Breast Pump for Busy Moms

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

Breastfeeding is a wonderful opportunity to transfer healthy enzymes and beneficial antibodies to your baby. For working moms, or mom with a busy schedule, however, it’s not always possible to breastfeed for every feeding. Luckily, breast pumps are the perfect tool for increasing your milk supply and storing your baby’s food for later use. One of the biggest challenges, though, is choosing the right breast pump for your needs. Pumps come in a wide variety of options from manual pumps and battery-operated options to single-electric and double-electric varieties. To make your choice easy, we’ve found the single best breast pump out there for busy moms in 2021: Motif Luna.

The Motif Luna Pump is now available in a battery-powered version for more freedom and flexibility. Better yet, Luna is covered by most insurance plans! In a recent comparison test conducted by C+R Research, 5 out of 6 moms got more milk in less time with the Luna. For busy moms, this is a game-changing, time-saving pump. So much so that, 9 out of 10 moms preferred the Luna over their current pump.

When you’re busy, you don’t have 30 minutes or more to sit quietly and pump. You need a quick option that is efficient and easily portable. Luna is incredibly light. At just 2 pounds, it’s one of the lightest desktop pumps on the market. The Luna’s sleek, oval shape fits in almost any type of day bag or travel case so you can take it with you to work or wherever you’re headed on the go.

The Luna is a double pump that lets you quickly pump both breasts at the same time to cut your pumping time in half. You no longer have to take extended breaks at work, and you can even use the Luna Pump during your commute as the battery lasts 2+ hours between charges. Now your drive can be spent preparing dinner for your baby instead of sitting in traffic with sore breasts.

Another benefit of this pump is the quiet motor. Maybe a loud motor makes you feel self-conscious when you pump at work, or maybe you just don’t like a loud whirring noise in your ear for 15 minutes. Either way, the Luna Pump is known for its quiet 43-decibel hum that won’t rattle your nerves or wake your sleeping baby.

If you’re ready to get the perfect pump for your busy lifestyle, then order the Motif Luna Pump now.

The Baby Massage Primer

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

At the core, parenting is all about creating a soothing and healthy environment in which your newborn knows how loved they are. While touching and caressing your baby may come naturally to you, learning the art of baby massage may seem daunting at first. Yet, it’s one of the most important and natural things we can do to build a strong loving foundation and help our children develop both physically and emotionally.

In India and other Eastern countries, baby massage is considered one of the most important aspects of baby rearing with many families hiring “Ammas,” women who come to the house to perform massage, on a daily basis.

As nice as it would be to book a daily massage for baby, learning baby massage is not as complicated as many parents fear. Simple baby massage techniques will help your baby relax and will have innumerable benefits for both baby and caretaker.

Science Backed Benefits

If you’re looking for a simple technique to introduce into your routine to help your baby calm down, relax, and sleep better— look no further than baby massage. When a baby is massaged, you are actually stimulating their central nervous system, building muscle tone, and allowing them to release serotonin that helps form vital connections with you, themselves and the world around them.

Research conducted by Dr. Tiffany Fields, Director of Touch Research Institute, showed that infant massage can have these benefits among many others.

Lower heart rate
Lower blood pressure
Increases in positive hormones
Improved immunity
Physical growth in babies
Psychosocial development
Encourages attachment and bonding with parents
Growth and weight gain
Improves sleep

Prepping for the Massage

When it comes to baby massage, the prep is just as important as the basic strokes.

You will want to massage your newborn at a time when they are alert but aren’t irritable or fussy. If your baby is hungry, crying, or fussy for any reason, massaging them will not actually calm them down. It may overstimulate them, causing them to be more distressed.

In addition, make sure that you yourself are calm. If you are feeling particularly stressed or frazzled, take a deep breath and try to calm yourself prior to the massage.

If you are both feeling calm and alert, then you can take the next steps:

Remove any jewelry and wash your hands
Dim the lights and put on soft music
Place your baby on a blanket on the floor, bed, or on their changing station.
Verbally engage with your newborn and ask their permission. If they are smiling and making eye contact, the answer is “Yes.” If they are scrunching their face and arching back, you may want to find another time for massage.
Have an edible oil on hand, such as coconut or grapeseed oil.

Basic Massage Strokes

When it comes to massaging your newborn, be sure that you are using gentle strokes and not applying too much pressure. But don’t make the mistake of having too light of a touch as that can make baby feel ticklish. A nice medium pressure should work fine.

Arms and Leg Massage: For your newborn’s arms, stabilize your baby with one hand, and then use the opposite hand to lightly glide from shoulder to hand. Do this 3 times, and then switch arms. You will do the same steps for the legs, going from thigh to feet. Always massage in the direction away from the heart as this stroke is less stimulating for baby.

Belly Massage: Place your hand flat against the baby’s bellybutton. Rub their belly in small clockwise circles, applying gentle but firm pressure. Try to stay away from the belly button area, especially in babies under 1 month.

Back Massage: After massaging the arms, legs, and belly, you can turn your newborn around onto their bellies. This is a great opportunity for tummy time. You can gently rub their back using the same circular motion as you did for their bellies.

Face Massage: After you have massaged their back, place your newborn gently back onto their back. You can then place both hands on your child’s forehead and trace down to their chin. Repeat several times.

Be sure to remain calm throughout the massage and use songs and conversation to connect with your newborn.

Baby Massage Takeaways

Now that you know the best methods for baby massage, you’ll want to practice once a day and work up to two massages per day. Even 5-10 minutes a day is a wonderful way to release tension for both you and baby and to enhance your bond. It will also help soothe and relax baby so that they improve their sleep and maintain optimal health.

As you can see, infant massage unlocks a wonderfully loving environment for the baby and will help you to enjoy those precious moments with them while they are a newborn.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Get Some Precious Mommy Me-Time with Kindred Bravely

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

One of the biggest challenges for any mom is finding the time to kick back and relax. Whether you’re preparing for a new arrival or juggling the daily duties of motherhood, that precious window of “me time” gets narrower by the day. Even finding a few moments of respite feels like a pipedream. That’s why we love @KindredBravely, a company that truly understands the struggle of work-life-baby balance. Take it from CEO and co-founder, Deeanne Akerson, who created the Kindred Bravely brand for two reasons: one, to support new and expectant moms with comfortable, stylish, and practical maternity wear; and two, to build a supportive community of moms who help encourage and empower each other along stressful every step of the way. Here are some of our favorite Kindred Bravely products that make the journey of motherhood easier, from the bump to the breast and beyond!

Sublime Hands-Free Pumping & Nursing Bra: When it comes to nursing, efficiency and comfort are key, because Mother Nature waits for no one. Why make breastfeeding more difficult than it has to be? That’s why Kindred Bravely developed the Sublime Hands-Free Pumping & Nursing Bra, a gamechanger for any postpartum mama. Forget about fumbling with bra hooks and uncomfortable wiring; with Kindred Bravely’s patented unique Easyclip™ design, moms can wear the same bra day and night, moving from pumping to nursing without skipping a beat—no cumbersome wardrobe changes necessary. Made with removable padding and ultra-soft fabric, this double pumping bra fits comfortably and securely. Plus, it’s compatible with all standard pump flanges, including Medela, Spectra, Lansinoh, Ameda, Hygeia, Philips Avent, Motif, and Evenflo.

Sublime Nursing Sports Bra: Don’t let nursing throw a wrench into your workout plans. Active moms can now make Saturday morning yoga class without ever having to compromise baby’s feeding schedule. With the Kindred Bravely Sublime Nursing Sports Bra, new mothers have the best of both worlds. Made with breathable, moisture-wicking fabric to keep new moms comfortable during low-impact activity, this bra features convenient clip-down cups for easy breastfeeding access. When baby’s hunger strikes, simply pullover for a quick, convenient pump. Plus, we aren’t the only ones who love this bra. It’s a National Parenting Product Awards winner, too.

Relaxed Mama Athleisure Nursing & Maternity Top: Nothing feels better than cuddling up on the couch in your coziest sweats and comfiest tee. But for new moms, it’s tough finding the time to luxuriate. Kindred Bravely gets it. That’s why they made the Relaxed Mama Athleisure Nursing & Maternity Top. Its buttery-soft, moisture-wicking fabric skims the body, giving moms the perfect amount of coverage for extra comfort. It also features a hidden underlayer for easy and discreet breastfeeding. Go ahead, put it on and relax!

Clea Bamboo Short Sleeve Classic Pajama Set: Just because you’re a mom doesn’t mean you have to forgo fashion for comfort. With the Clea Bamboo Short Sleeve Classic Pajama Set, now you can have both! This classic sleepwear style features sleek piping detail, button-down nursing access, and an elastic waistband to accommodate moms’ changing bodies from pregnancy to postpartum. Its breathable bamboo fabric also helps keep you cool, so you can look and feel good all throughout the night.

Louisa Maternity & Postpartum Support Leggings: We’re living in the golden era of athleisure, so we couldn’t be more thrilled for Kindred Bravely’s Louisa Maternity & Postpartum Support Leggings. Sleek, stylish, and versatile, these leggings are perfect for any woman, especially those needing extra support for a growing belly. Its premium fabric molds perfectly to the body and never loses shape, no matter how many times it goes through the wash. Plus, its ultra-high waist panel creates a flattering silhouette for every shape and size. Dressed up or down, these leggings are so comfortable, you’ll never want to take them off.

Eleanora Bamboo Maternity & Nursing Lounge Dress: Designed to wear before, during, and after your pregnancy, this airy lounge dress is made of super-soft, premium bamboo fabric. Lightweight and breathable with a relaxed fit, it’s perfect for warmer weather (or hot flashes!). The fabric stretches with you throughout your pregnancy, and the nursing panel makes it easy to feed your little one at home or on the go. And, yes, it has pockets. Pockets! You might love it so much, you’ll never want to take it off — and since this two-in-one dress doubles as a nightgown, you won’t have to!
