by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

This week I ended up with a number of products that will be great for summer travel! A new portable crib has just hit the market as well as some maternity friendly swimwear. We also love some new strollers from our friends at gb Pockit. Rounding out my selections this week are a work to play diaper bag backpack and some pre/postnatal friendly nursing gear that is sure to make you feel good!

 

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

Halo DreamNest Portable Crib: For parents looking for multi-functional products, I’ve found you another one! This portable crib by Halo starts as a rocking bassinet, converts into a portable crib and eventually turns into a cot. Utilizing a mesh mattress and coming with a travel bag, the DreamNest is perfect for on the go.

Summersalt Maternity Swimwear: The Summersalt swim line continues to impress us with their new maternity suits! Summersalt truly knows how to add a sense of style to their suits and this sophisticated line is no exception. Plus, many of these suits will fit whether you are pregnant or not! We will always support brands that are helping our moms and moms-to-be feel good about the ‘skin they’re in!’

New gb Pockit Strollers: There are three new strollers to the gb Pockit family! Pockit+ All-City, Pockit+ All-Terrain, and Pockit Air All-Terrain will fully cover any and all of your strolling needs. The All-City is a great compact stroller perfect for any urban environment. The All-Terrain has built in suspension and double wheels, which will help tackle any bumps as you push to the park. The Air All-Terrain is the ultimate travel accessory! Check out these new strollers today!

Work + Play Backpack in Grey Neoprene (by Petunia Pickle Bottom): We love Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bags and their new Work + Play bag is no different. It is gender neutral, water-resistant, and has a laptop sleeve. Perfect for work and play, this bag will help tackle each and every day! Plus it makes a great father’s day gift!

Hotmilk Nursing Collection: We love the Hotmilk Nursing collection! Not only are they incredibly supportive, but they give moms of all stages a chance to feel beautiful! Plus these items will fit you during pregnancy, 4th trimester, and beyond. They are so elegant and comfy that you won’t want to stop wearing them!

 

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!

Mission Critical S.01 Carrier – The Ultimate Dad Gift

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Father’s Day is just around the corner and we have identified the ultimate gift for any new dad in your life – the Mission Critical S.01 Carrier. Mission Critical was founded by a father who wanted to inspired other dads to adventure into the world with their little one. They believe that it is the act of exploring the world together which helps strengthen the bond between a father and child; there will be long days ahead, but going with your fatherly instinct and heading into nature is a fantastic way to spend time and get to know your baby, and know yourself as a dad.

Mission Critical S.01 Carrier

The Mission Critical S.01 Baby Carrier was designed with this thought process in place. The S.01 Carrier is build technically and tough from the ground up specifically for dads; designed for dad’s comfort, as well as baby’s, the carrier fits more like a vest, which allows full mobility and safety with easy adjustments using a simple four-step process. The carrier also features a removable washable liner, for all of life’s messier days.

Mission Critical S.01 Carrier

For sunny days, this military inspired carrier features a sunshade which stashes away in the front zip pocket and quickly snaps into place to protect your baby or help them nap. And, don’t worry about those super hot days, as the Mission Critical S.01 Carrier has breathable air mesh lining on the chest and back to keep dad cool and comfortable. But, the coolest part about the Mission Critical S.01 Carrier is that it is fully customizable so you can easily attach accessories on the front and back of the carrier to keep essentials close by. Help a new dad feel more confident on their fatherhood journey this Father’s Day and gift them a Mission Critical S.01 Carrier (don’t forget the accessories!) for all of life’s little and big adventures with their little one.

Don’t forget to also check out the Mission Critical S.02 carrier that we featured in our Get Outside gift guide.

Thank you to Mission Critical for making this sponsored post possible – we are so appreciative!

Get Outside with these Outdoor Gift Picks

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

It seems as though summer has finally arrived and we can’t wait to head outside and play! We rounded up some of our favorite gift guide picks for enjoying the outdoors with your family this summer. Check them out below and let us know what you bring with you on your outdoor adventures.

Made Good Foods: Summertime is all about the on-the-go snacks; whether you’re hanging poolside, shuffling kids to swim lessons, or simply reading your favorite magazine on the front steps, it’s important to have yummy and healthy snacks ready at all times. We’re big fans of MadeGood Foods, especially their MadeGood Vanilla Crispy Squares, which are reminiscent of the childhood favorite rice crispy treats. But, these MadeGood Vanilla Crispy Squares are allergen-free and safe for school, which means you can use them for end of the year parties and summer pool parties. Plus, they are also gluten-free, certified vegan, organic, Non-GMO, kosher and contain nutrients from vegetables such as carrots, shiitake, mushrooms, beets, broccoli. Can’t get much healthier than that in a delicious snack! We know both you and the kids will devour these MadeGood treats all summer long. Pack them for summer camp, bring them camping, have one in the pool – we know you’ll snack happy! 

Mission Critical S.02 Baby Carrier: Getting outside and heading on adventures is so much easier when you can babywear – one of the questions we get a lot at Gugu Guru is where dads can find carrier for them, specifically – and we’re excited to introduce you to the Mission Critical Carrier. The Mission Critical S.02 Carrier is different than any other carrier because it is sleek, versatile, and customizable to easily transition from one quest to the next. In fact, the Mission Critical S.02 Carrier is innovative and built from the ground up specifically for dads. The Mission Critical S.02 Baby Carrier is totally versatile and features front or back carry options, which create a system that adapts as your baby grows. Plus, you can integrate it with the Mission Critical S.02 Daypacks for a combination that carries exactly what you need. If you’re heading out with baby, dad will appreciate the fact that the Mission Critical S.02 Carrier is lightweight and extremely strong, plus, it’s outfitted with convenient features for your baby including a sun shade and adjustable-width seat. The Mission Critical S.02 Carrier doesn’t just focus on baby’s needs, but also is super comfortable for dad, making long outdoor adventures possible for your summer vacation. This would make an ideal gift for any new dad in your life! 

My Lap Box: If you’re road tripping this summer, or will be spending time in the car visiting family and friends, we can’t recommend the My Lap Box enough! My Lap Box is a sturdy travel box which easily converts to a travel tray. While other kid’s travel boxes are often too flimsy or fall apart, the My Lap Box Travel Case is sturdy enough to accommodate 2 built-in ridges that will keep an iPad / tablet in place at 2 different viewing angles for your child’s viewing pleasure. As it is lightweight enough for your kiddo to carry on their own (and fill with all of those random items from home they can’t leave behind!), you can bring the Lap Box Travel Case wherever you head this summer. Unlike all other travel trays, our My Lap Box travel case has a detachable, snap on snap off lid. The lid can be secured in place under My Lap Box when not in use or secured to the top to contain all of the enclosed items. My Lap Box is unique for car rides in that it has an included adjustable strap that goes around your child’s waist, so the My Lap Box will never tilt, shift, slide or fall to the floor. It always stays securely in place while on your child’s lap – meaning less fuss from the backseat! It’s ideal for heading outdoors this summer – fill with toys, snacks, crayons, or more, and know that your little one will have everything they need to have a fun summer. Use code gugu10 for 10% off My Lap Box. 

Mockingbird Stroller: If you’re heading out with the family this summer, you absolutely need a stroller that can keep up with your family’s adventures. It’s no secret we’re big fans of the Mockingbird Stroller – and for so many reasons!  The Mockingbird Stroller is the only premium full-size stroller at a totally affordable price – plus, it was truly built for the modern parent: with a one-hand fold, spill-proof materials, never-flat wheels, and a storage basket that can fit everything. Additionally, to soothe any fears about buying baby gear you can’t first see in person, Mockingbird lets customers try the products at home for 30 days, with free shipping both ways. That gives them a better way to evaluate a stroller than pushing it up and down the smooth floor in a baby store. You can learn more about Mockingbird here, and get yours for summer outings today, as you can check it out at home and we know you’ll love it!

4moms Breeze Plus: When it comes to summertime and getting outside with babies, you’re going to think about having a safe place to put them to rest and lounge. We’re big fans of using the 4moms Breeze Plus playard for summer adventures for so many reasons. One reason is that it is super lightweight and easy to travel with – throw it in the car and you’ll have a safe place for baby to sleep on any trip. Plus, the all-in-one care station makes this the best portable crib for grandma’s house, the park and more. The removable bassinet and changer are simple to assemble, and bring the comfort of your home to every destination. It is so easy to open and close, you won’t be fussing with it on your next camping trip or picnic – plus, it is mesh sides, so your little one can get fresh air and won’t overheat. Learn more about the 4moms Breeze Plus here.

What’s New on Gugu: May 29, 2019

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

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!

 

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!

Real Mom Reviews: Mountain Buggy Duet for Multiples

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

When it comes to finding products for twins, we love when real moms get the chance to review products and help out other multiple-mamas-to-be on their baby registry journey. The ultra chic Mountain Buggy Duet Stroller was featured in our Spring Fashion Gift Guide because it truly is so stylish – but there are so many reasons any parent of two truly needs this unique stroller! Our editor’s childhood best friend recently had adorable twin boys and was looking for a stroller she could easily get outside with while wrangling both boys. We were excited to have her try out the Mountain Buggy Duet – here’s what she thought of it below!

This is the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in Herringbone and interestingly enough, the Duet Stroller is the slimmest double stroller on the market, it’s even slimmer than some single strollers! Parents love the Mountain Buggy Duet for its slim frame and ability to be folded up easily.

This luxury stroller comes with Aeromaxx wheels (enjoy the ride of air filled tires but without the maintenance), a matching diaper bag, and changing mat, and a 3 year warranty! Style and function are perfectly joined with the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury Stroller.

Here’s what our twin mama had to say about it:

I love the Mountain Buggy, and more importantly, so do my boys! It’s a lot less bulky than other twin strollers I’ve used, and the steering is comfortable and smooth. It’s actually quite narrow for a side-by-side! The leather touches give it a luxurious feel and the 4-buckle harnesses keep the boys secure. There’s plenty of storage in the base of the stroller, which is essential for a twin mama on the go. There are tons of small but thoughtful features that make a huge difference – a magnet that holds the peek-a-boo flap in place and a wrist strap to keep the stroller securely in my hands.

For more information or to buy now, visit Little Folks NYC.

Gugu Guru received the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury for review. All opinions are our own.

The Truth About Talc

by Gugu Guru 1 Comment

Today’s guest post is from the team at The Truth About Talc; you can learn more about their mission at their website, or Instagram. To sign their #TosstheTalc petition, click here for more info. 

When it comes to women’s health, it’s always important to stay alert and in the know about any possible factors which could affect a woman’s health or body. For many years, women have been using talcum powder on their own bodies, as well as on their babies; however, it has become abundantly clear in the last few decades that talcum powder has negative side effects for the human body, some even potentially fatal.

According to The New York Times, many women use talc as a “feminine hygiene product, applying it to their bodies and breathing in airborne powder.” Talc also appears in makeup, laundry soap, deodorant, and arts and crafts materials. Talc is a mineral that is composed of different elements including, chromium, nickel and other substances that are known to be harmful or worse, carcinogenic. Talc is found underground and is often intermingled with asbestos, a dangerous substance known to cause cancer. Since talc and asbestos can be found so close together, asbestos can be found in talc naturally. Reuters reported that asbestos contamination is an issue that companies like Johnson and Johnson have known about for decades, and when they started losing market share amongst their core buyers they turned their attention to minority groups.

Women who have typically used baby powder as part of their feminine hygiene routine may have talc particles in their ovarian tissues. As Dr. Judy Wolf, a gynecological oncologist states: “The inflammation alone that talcum powder products cause can lead to cancer—specifically ovarian cancer.” Talc particles can actually remain in the body for years, even long after talcum powder use is discontinued. The talc particles can cause inflammation in the ovaries that allows cancer cells to form, grow and spread. Talcum powder has been banned from condoms and medical gloves, and pediatricians no longer encourage parents to use baby powder made with talc on infants due to adverse health effects. However, women are still using talcum powder as part of their feminine hygiene routine – in fact 1 in 5 women routinely use talcum powder products like baby powder for feminine hygiene purposes.

Talc appears in many popular brands of baby powder, such as Johnson and Johnson’s, Clubman Pinaud Talc, Nivea Pure Talc, Gold Bond Medicated Powder, McKesson Baby Powder, and Shower to Shower. However, many women do not realize the connection between talcum powder and ovarian cancer. More than 25 published epidemiologic studies have examined the link between genital talc use by women and ovarian cancer since the 1980s; according to the scientific research in these studies, it has become apparent that women who regularly use talcum powder products like baby powder in their genital area are three times more likely to develop ovarian cancer than women who do not use the product. Interestingly enough, even research funded by Johnson & Johnson concluded that talcum powder use for feminine hygiene increases a woman’s chance of developing cancer. Incidentally, ovarian cancer is the 5th leading cause of death for women and 22,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer yearly in America.

As women learn more about the connection between talc and ovarian cancer, the Truth About Talc is hoping to educate more and more women. As of this moment, manufacturers of talcum powder products are finally beginning to take note of the scientific studies and litigation documenting the link between talcum powder and an increased risk of ovarian cancer. In fact, as recently as this year, a U.S. House subcommittee held an investigative hearing on the science and safety of talc-based products, prompted by the FDA’s discovery of asbestos-containing talcum powder in certain cosmetics marketed to children and teens. The panel may recommend granting the FDA more authority to mandate safety recalls of cosmetics, powders and personal care products. Knowledge is power, and we’re grateful to be able to spread the mission of Truth About Talc and educate women not only for their health, but their children’s as well.

However, FDA regulatory changes that can protect us can take years, if not decades. That’s why we’d like to ask you to take less than a minute to sign this online petition. We urge you to #TosstheTalc and share this information with every woman you know.

You can also find recommendations for safe alternatives to talcum powder via the Truth About Talc’s Instagram or Facebook profiles.

Thank you to Truth About Talc for making this sponsored post possible – we are so appreciative!

Best Travel Crib: One Simple Step, One Happy Parent

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Being a parent on-the-go, with a little babe in tow, requires a ton of travel gear: diaper bag, bottles, breast pump, nipple cream, formula, extra everything—and of course, a playard that works with your need-a-third-hand lifestyle. Luckily, 4moms® (the brilliant minds behind the epic mamaRoo) created the best travel crib ever, the 4moms Breeze Plus. We’re obsessed and think you will be too.

Most playards require a second person to help lift the awkward sides, and you need to remember the sequence of instructions (the sides or floor first?), or it won’t stay open. The hard-to-remember instructions + sleep deprivation are not the greatest mix.  

You want a reliable, simple, solo-parent-friendly setup that can be done in seconds—especially when you’re wearing your baby, holding them in your arms or watching them cry from a few feet away. The 4moms® breeze® plus is the best travel crib because it provides this and more.

Its one-push open and one-pull close feature is a GAME. CHANGER. The instructional video will blow you away—it’s so easy. Plus, the all-in-one care station makes this the best portable crib for grandma’s house, the park and more. The removable bassinet and changer are simple to assemble, and bring the comfort of your home to every destination.

best travel crib

Not only can you take this amazing playard everywhere, you can use it around your house. Set it up in the kitchen to enjoy cooking again, try it in the bathroom while you shower—it’s an amazing addition to any home with a little babe.

As you can see, we are loving this gem of a playard. It also comes with a convenient travel bag to free your hands up for your other precious cargo. Oh, and did we mention it’s easy to clean? Most messes (and we know there will be plenty) can be taken care of with a wet wipe or cloth.

At $299.99, the 4moms® breeze® plus is priced a little higher than some of the portable cribs available, but its simplicity makes it totally worth it (to us). Let us know what you think in the comments below!

What’s New on Gugu: May 22, 2019

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

This week I have found some products that have excellent longevity. They will survive through your first, second, third, and beyond. They are even great options for life with multiples (I can speak from first-hand experience!). I also love the way these brands are dedicated to creating high quality products. From a mom of twin toddlers, THANK YOU!

 

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

Maxi Cosi Magellan Max: This convertible car seat could truly be the only car seat you ever own! While I love the Magellan, the Max has some added features that will make your life significantly easier. They have added their “EZ In/Out harness system” which is revolutionary when trying to buckle in a moving toddler. The seat also has a variety of recline positions and a no-rethread harness. Safe for babies 5-120 lbs, this seat will go from rear-facing infant seat to forward high back booster.

Göbe Kids Snack Spinner: Although not available until July, this new snack spinner will help ensure that your toddlers are eating from all the food groups! Simply fill each of the sections with snacks and watch your little one’s independence grow. Great for picky eaters too! They are BPA and PVC free and dishwasher safe.

Mochi Toys: Although not new to Gugu Guru, People Toy Co.’s Mochi line is perfect for any growing baby. Their teethers are non-toxic, made from rice, and easy to clean! We love how these hold up to months and months of constant use by babies and toddlers of all ages! Complete with instruments, wearable teethers, blocks and more these are the perfect unique gift for any family!

Plae Shoes: Plae has taken the importance of ‘Play’ and turned it into an amazing shoe line for kids (and adults!). Plae shoes are extremely high-quality and hold up to days at the beach, park, and pool! They are great for teaching independence to toddlers who want to put on/take off their own shoes too. We love their unique colors, encouraging all family members to get out there and ‘Plae!’

Toki Mats: Toki Mats is a mom-founded brand (see others featured on the blog this week!) made of high quality foam and a washable cover. The mat will fold when not in use and the covers are washable and interchangeable. It is also a great size, even for multiples. Plus the prints are fun and trendy enough to keep out in your living room!

 

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!

Baby Shower Gift Guide Picks

by Gugu Guru 1 Comment

With Spring in full season, it seems as though every weekend is chock full of adorably sweet baby showers. Today we’re sharing our top baby shower gift picks for all the expectant moms in your life.

4moms mamaRoo4: When it comes to a baby shower gift which will make a big difference in mom’s life, we always suggest gifting a new mom with the 4moms mamaRoo4 for her baby shower. 4moms, a forerunner in must-have baby items for modern parents, developed the mamaRoo4 to mimic the feeling of a parent holding and rocking a baby. Unlike most baby seats which simply vibrate, the mamaRoo4 has 25 different movement configurations, so you’re sure to find one which helps soothe your baby. All new parents need a moment to eat, shower, or tend to an older sibling, and the mamaRoo is the ideal safe place to put the baby down, and know it will be gently rocked and soothed. The mamaRoo is also Bluetooth enabled so you can control the motion, sound, speed and volume from your smartphone without disturbing baby! It also offers a full recline to allow baby to lie back and relax or sit up and play. The mamaRoo4 is the must-have high-tech baby swing for modern families.

Baby Blue Giraffe: One of the questions we get frequently on Gugu Guru is “what do I need to cut my baby’s nails? It seems scary!” When it comes to baby shower gifts, we love gifting new moms with innovative products which are also functional and necessary. The Baby Blue Giraffe is a reusable nail file made just for babies; soft on baby’s skin, the Baby Blue Giraffe is a safe and effective way to trim baby’s nails without worrying about cutting or trimming them. No longer do parents have to fear cutting their tiny baby’s nails, as the Baby Blue Giraffe nail file takes care of those sharp little newborn nails so your little one doesn’t scratch themselves. Ideal for any new parent, the Baby Blue Giraffe is made in Europe and can be washed and reused over and over again. Head to Amazon and use code 15BlueGiraff at checkout for 15% off. 

Matrescence Skin, Rose Glow Purifying Cleanser: Often when it comes to baby shower gifts, we overlook the importance of gifting mom the gift of self-care! We’re huge fans of Matrescence Skin for so many reasons. Many times during both pregnancy and postpartum, a woman’s skin can become more sensitive, and the Matrescence Skin Rose Glow Purifying Cleanser is an ideal solution to healthy, clean, and glowing skin for all moms. Safe for pregnancy, breastfeeding and beyond, the Rose Glow Purifying Cleanser invigorates, cleans and clarifies the skin without irritating it.

B.Box Stroller Organizer: Any seasoned parent knows how important organization is, especially when it comes to your stroller. When you’re out and about in the world, your stroller becomes your home away from home, and it’s imperative to keep it clean and organized! This is why we love the B.Box Stroller Organizer as a baby shower gift. The B.Box Stroller Organizer makes going out with baby a cinch, as you’ll have everything you need organized at your fingertips, and the Stroller Organizer can even clip off the stroller and becomes a unisex bag with a shoulder strap – perfect for traveling! It features a large fold away mesh bag which expands down, so you can fill it with groceries, extra clothing, or even things for mom; the mesh bag makes all of your essentials easily visible so you don’t have to go hunting for the pacifier or bottle. There are multiple storage compartments for drinks, snacks, your phone, wallet and more. The bag is BPA, Phthalates, and PVC free, so it’s safe to have around baby without any worry. The B. Box Stroller Organizer is the perfect baby shower gift for any new parent.
