Pregnancy Style

Worry Free Beauty

Your skin can absorb up to 60% of what you put onto it, so it pays to be cognizant of what you put on it during pregnancy. When Christine and Leland Dehring were expecting their first child, they quickly learned that tons of the products they used every day are actually full of dangerous chemicals that could potentially harm their unborn child. They also realized that most mommies don’t even realize that these chemicals exist. Christine and Leland decided to dedicate themselves to finding the safest, most effective pregnancy products and Bump Boxes was born. Bump Boxes delivers bundles of only the best, safest pregnancy and baby essentials straight to your door.

Here Gugu Guru editor and nationally known beauty writer, Melissa Schweiger Kleinman, co-author of Belli Beautiful: The Essential Guide to the Safest Health and Beauty Products for Pregnancy, Mom, and Baby, shares her expert tips on worry-free beauty for pregnant mamas along with her Bump Boxes product pick!

TIP: Spot Treat with Care
Acne is the most common skin complaint during pregnancy, thanks to the influx of hormones your body faces during pregnancy. But the typical acne-fighting ingredients you used before you got pregnant are no longer safe when you’re with child. Both salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide are contraindicated during pregnancy and have been linked to birth defects. A safer alternative is products containing tea tree oil, sulfur or lactic acid.
BUMP BOXES PRODUCT PICK: Belli Anti-Blemish Facial Wash

TIP: Mani/Pedi at Home
Treating yourself to a manicure may sound like a no-brainer during pregnancy, but a trip to the nail salon is rife with possible dangers for moms-to-be. If the nail technicians fail to properly sterilize their tools or clean the foot spas, you could be exposing yourself to possible staph infections. And then comes the nail polish itself, which could contain DBP, toluene or formaldehyde. Instead, invest in your own nail tools and a lovely shade of 5-free nail polish and either take it to your salon or DIY.
BUMP BOXES PRODUCT PICK: Ella Mila Mommy Collection Nail Polish

TIP: Keep it Clean
While you may be hooked on your old-school bar of soap, pregnancy is the perfect time to take a look at its ingredients. Many bar soaps contain an ingredient called triclosan, which has links to hormonal disruption and liver tumors in animals. Instead, find soaps that contain sodium chloride, vegetable glycerin and shea butter.
BUMP BOXES PRODUCT PICK: Nubian Heritage – Mango Butter Bar Soap

TIP: Kiss Petroleum Goodbye
Rather than reaching for the jar of Vaseline when your lips are cracked during pregnancy or digging for your lip gloss out of your purse to give your pucker some shine, look for products that are petroleum-free. When converted into personal care products, petroleum creates a byproduct known as 1,4-dioxane which is a probably carcinogen. Instead, try a lip product containing essential oils or even lanolin (the ingredient in nipple creams) to soothe chapped lips.
BUMP BOXES PRODUCT PICK: Ecco Bella Good For You Gloss

TIP: Keep an Eye out for Safety
It’s normal for moms-to-be to feel like they’re a second away from falling fast asleep at any moment. Your hormone levels are running amok and feeling exhausted is your body’s reaction to some of those changes. Mascara will help counteract the look of fatigue that is sure to remain on your face well after baby is born (welcome to motherhood!). But be smart about the ingredients you choose for your makeup, especially mascara. The eyes have mucous membranes that can easily absorb any unwanted chemicals in your mascara. To be safe, use only mascaras with iron oxides and shellac and apply mascara to only the tips of lashes rather than the base.
BUMP BOXES PRODUCT PICK: ECCO BELLA MASCARA

10 Nursing and Maternity Dresses We’re Buying from Amazon Right Now

by Jenna Hatfield Leave a Comment

If you’re looking to stay and look hot cool this summer, you’ve come to right place. We’ve rounded up 5 maternity dresses and 5 nursing dresses for you. We’ve covered everything from casual to fancy and in between.

Maternity Dresses

It’s hot. Being pregnant during the dog days of summer makes everything feel exponentially hotter. Even if you’re not normally the dress wearing type, throwing on a dress can help you stay cool. Plus, one piece of clothing feels lighter than multiple pieces.

Here are some maternity dresses we’re loving right now for mamas-to-be.

Maternity Striped Cami Dress – $35.99

This striped dress offers more than just a flowy shift to cover your bump. The tie feature in the front adds shape and the buttons down the front bring more style. The back is also smocked to adjust to your growing bust size. Pair this with some cute sandals like the model and head out.

Sunflower Maxi Dress – $38.99

Late summer is the perfect time to wear sunflowers. Throw this beauty on and head to a local sunflower farm to capture some gorgeous and timely maternity photos. As an added bonus, the shape of this neckline makes it a perfect candidate for a nursing dress.

Off-the-Shoulder Tie Dye Dress – $26.99

Get in on the summer’s hottest trend: tie-dye! These colors feel both funky and pretty at the same time. The off-the-shoulder look will look stunning for a dinner out on your favorite local patio at sunset.

Casual Midi Maternity Dress – $19.99

Need something more casual to throw on to chase your older kids around the yard this summer? This tank maternity dress is the perfect option. We love the animal print trend, but it also comes in solids and a few floral prints. Why not get a few?

Floral Bodycon Maternity Dress – $29.99

Attending a wedding or some other fancy function? This dress takes your look to the next level by showing off your baby bump. Pair it with some comfy but stylish flats so you can dance your little one to sleep.

Nursing Dresses

Nursing during the summer months can feel just as hot and uncomfortable as those months spent pregnant. Stay cool with one of these dresses that all feature easy access for your breastfeeding tot in one way or another.

Tank Style Nursing Dress – $21.99

Stay cool and look stylish while toting your newborn around this summer. Throw on this striped nursing dress and some easy kicks. We love that easy access panel and the fact that this dress comes in a variety of colors.

Button-Front Nursing Dress – $21.99

This dress can easily go from the office to the park. It uses buttons for nursing access. This particular polka dot print brings some class to a business casual look. Like some of the other dresses, it’s available in a variety of solids and prints.

Lemon Print V-Neck Dress – $27.99

When life gives you lemons, put them on a dress and rock it. This dress features a deep v-neck which provides easy access for nursing on the go. It also comes in other prints, but lemons remain all the rage this season. Don’t pass this one up!

V-Neck Floral Wrap Maxi Nursing Dress – $25.99

This nursing and maternity dress is a real stunner. The bold print offers some summer color on a cool navy background. The surplice neckline makes for easy breastfeeding anywhere you happen to rock this frock.

Adjustable Spaghetti Strap Nursing Dress – $27.99

This summery dress features adjustable straps so you can get the best fit possible. The snap-down style is quick and easy. But the truly best part about this dress? Pockets!

Pregnancy and Postpartum Wear from Kindred Bravely

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

As an expecting mom, you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for functionality anymore. Get ready to say goodbye to bulky bras, unflattering gowns, and frustrating fastenings, thanks to Kindred Bravely. They have designed three ideal comfort fit maternity wear items that are ideal for your growing body: the Ultra Comfort Smooth Classic Nursing Bra, Clea Bamboo Short Sleeve Classic Pajama Set, and the Eleanora Bamboo Maternity and Nursing Lounge Dress.

The Kindred Bravely Ultra Comfort Smooth Classic Nursing Bra is the answer to your breastfeeding wishes! The bra fits like a glove with a seamless design that eliminates chafing and is undetectable under your clothing. Not only is it comfortable to wear, it has a flattering, feminine cut to give you that extra boost of self-confidence. The straps are adjustable and convert into a racerback so your new favorite bra pairs well with T-shirts and tank tops. It has a one-handed nursing clip that allows you to easily unclip your bra to feed your little one. The padding is removable which makes it a great option for night-time wear.

What goes well with a great nighttime nursing bra? Equally comfortable sleepwear, of course! The Clea Bamboo Short Sleeve Classic Pajama Set is ideal for warm climates and those hot summer months. The breathable bamboo fabric helps to keep you cool and dry even when dealing with hot flashes. The short-sleeved button-down pajama top eliminates the struggle of having to remove your top every time you feed. Forget fussing with clasps and zippers while pregnant or recovering from delivery. These pull-up pajama shorts have an elastic waistband that makes changing a breeze. The set also stretches to accommodate your body’s changes. It evens has pockets!

For daytime, Kindred Bravely created the perfect, fun dress, the Eleanora Bamboo Maternity and Nursing Lounge Dress. The airy dress is lightweight and breathable, made from premium bamboo fabric. It stretches with you as your body grows throughout pregnancy and makes for comfortable day or night-time wear postpartum. With the stylish design, you can easily wear it to school drop-offs or to grab some groceries, and yes, it has pockets too! The Eleanora Dress makes breastfeeding easy with a discreet panel across the top. Once the panel is lifted, there’s a second, lower neckline that gives better access to the breast. It goes perfectly with the Ultra Comfort Smooth Classic Nursing Bra.

You shouldn’t have to sacrifice comfort or style in order to have functional clothing. Kindred Bravely is making sure you can have it all. The Ultra Comfort Smooth Classic Nursing Bra, Clea Bamboo Short Sleeve Classic Pajama Set, and the Eleanora Bamboo Maternity and Nursing Lounge Dress are all designed with moms like you in mind. They’re made to grow with you throughout your pregnancy and provide comfort and functionality during postpartum, and beyond.

Making Life Easier for Moms: Kindred Bravely

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

Things can get busy with a newborn and there is no doubt moms already have their hands full. From their own postpartum care to baby’s care and maintaining some semblance of balance within their home, the last thing any mom needs is something else that’s going to require them to be hands-on. Now imagine if they could pump breastmilk completely hands-free or nurse with ease?

Kindred Bravely created their Hands-Free Pumping Bras with the busy mom in mind. Their all-in-one bra offers multiple layers of comfort with its soft nylon, polyester, and spandex blend that is gentle on both mom’s and the baby’s skin. The innovative EasyClip system has one clip for the pumping layer of the bra and another for the nursing layer, allowing moms to unclip each layer separately so they can breastfeed and pump at the same time without issue.

The Kindred Bravely Hands-Free Bras are designed to fit all standard breast pump flanges, such as Medela, Evenflo, Philips Avent, Lansinoh, Motif, Hygeia, Freemie, Willow, and Spectra, so there’s no need to remove the bra while pumping. Best of all? The bra fits snuggly over the flanges to prevent spilling milk. Moms can pump while going about their tasks with peace of mind. The bra is fitted with a thin layer of padding to ensure there is no restriction to the flow of breastmilk when pumping and this padding can be removed if needed.

Comfort is a top priority for the Kindred brand and they delivered in this design. In addition to the extremely soft fabric, the stretchy material of the Kindred Bra fits your postpartum body and is ideal for all-day wear. The straps are fully adjustable making it easy for you to find the right fit for your comfort. The Hook-and-Eye closure makes it easy to put on or take off, giving busy moms one less thing to struggle with throughout the day. They offer a wide range of sizes from S – XXL, with busty options, fitting sizes 30B-44I, and all sizes come with a bra extender so moms can adjust to their body’s changes during pregnancy and postpartum.

Kindred Bravely bras can be hand-washed with a gentle detergent or washed in a lingerie bag on a delicate cycle in the washing machine then line dried. Lucky for moms, there’s no underwire to be concerned about when machine-washing. They do advise wearing breast pads in order to avoid stains, especially when using ointments or lanolin products. For moms who are concerned about leaking, Kindred Bravely also offers Ultra Absorbent Reusable Nursing Pads that can be worn with their bras.

There’s so much to adjust to with a newborn – from coping with this great change to navigating breastfeeding and keeping on top of your daily tasks. With Kindred Bravely Hands-Free Pumping Bra, multitasking like a mother can be done in comfort! As a bonus, moms get 20% off their first purchase with the coupon code – GUGUGURU20.

What’s New on Gugu: December 11, 2019

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

During the holiday season, it is so easy for moms and moms-to-be to forget to stock up on products to treat themselves! Below are some fun new finds from the pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood market. We love these as gifts for expectant moms or as a personal gift to focus on the always-important (and never attainable) self-care! Let us know some of your favorite just for mom products!

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

NYSSA Postpartum Underwear: Called the ‘Fourthwear’ Collection, we love this update to the standard mesh undies you’ll receive in the hospital. They are stretchy and you can easily insert an ice pack or heating pad where it may be needed most. They can also be worn high-waisted or rolled down for maximum comfort no matter what type of delivery. Love these for all moms to be!

Soothing Scents Expecting Personal Inhaler for Morning Sickness: Those dreaded days full of morning sickness (or all-day sickness) can be behind you! Utilizing essential oils, this inhaler works immediately and is 100% natural. Check with your OB before purchase, but we love the idea of combating morning sickness without added medication.

GLOWE Maternity Leggings: These leggings will be supportive and comfortable from first trimester to the postpartum days! They will give you the support of a medical maternity belt without the bulk of wearing one. Plus they are made from a super soft Italian fabric so you will beat that back pain in style!

The Laundress New Mom Kit: It’s absolutely amazing how one (or two in my case) little babes can dramatically increase the amount of laundry you find yourself doing. The Laundress has created their New Mom Kit to help combat those messy spit ups and blow outs without harsh chemicals, petroleum, phosphate, phthalates, or artificial color. Plus I love that this kit comes with stain remover (a must for little ones) as well as all other detergent products you would need!

HATCH Mama Must-Haves Kit: An excellent set for pregnant and new moms, HATCH has put together a set of three top selling products. Their Belly Oil is excellent for your moisturizing your growing belly. Down, Girl is great for relieving swelling in your legs and feet. Nipple + Lip helps keep those special parts (your nipples and lips) hydrated during pregnancy and while nursing. Plus it all comes wrapped in the cutest gift box!

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!

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!

Gooselings: Gooselings was inspired by ‘Hygge,’ the Scandinavian lifestyle leading to feeling calm and content. 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.

4moms mamaRoo Sleep Bassinet: The newest product to hit the market from 4moms will launch early next year and moves like you do! With movement patterns similar to the mamaRoo, this sleep situation will be perfect for keeping your little one close for middle of the night feedings and diaper changes.

Nuna Triv Stroller: Triv is the newest stroller option from our friends at Nuna! This lightweight, easy-to-push stroller allows you to easily change between seat and car seat. It has a large storage basket and spring suspension, giving you a smooth push. Plus it’s one-handed fold can’t be beat!

FORMERLY YAN: We love this new maternity clothing line, which is designed specifically for changing silhouettes. Check out their Little Black Dress with Side Zippers or their Jogger Style Trousers, two of our favorites! These pieces are great for a day in the office or a night out on the town!

UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Cruz V2: UPPAbaby has updated their classic Cruz (single) and Vista (convertible) strollers for 2020! Both strollers are getting updated suspension –hello easier push!—as well as new colors/fabric options. The Cruz is also getting bigger wheels, a downsized fold, and a larger seat while the Vista will be seeing a no rethread harness and a larger canopy. 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. All of these products are perfect for travel!

Finnbin: In Finland, parents are actually given a free cardboard baby box, which will provide their little ones with a safe sleeping environment from day one. 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!

Crawligator: Make tummy time fun with this JPMA Innovation Award Winner! The Crawligator helps your little one strengthen all of those muscles needed to begin crawling. Simply place your babe on top of the Crawligator and begin to move them forward slowly. A great way for parents and little ones to complete play time together!

Drinking for Two: A great gift for your girlfriend who just announced she is pregnant, Drinking for Two, is an adorable mocktail book aimed at combating pregnancy-related symptoms. Featuring 45+ non-alcoholic, plant-based mocktail recipes that are high in nutrients and low in sugar, this is the perfect coffee table book throughout pregnancy and beyond!

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!

Top Mama Must-Haves from Soma

by Mel Blume Leave a Comment

As mamas, we’re superheroes 24/7. We never clock out and always have to be ready to respond. So, how can make our always-on-call lifestyles easier? By owning quick and cozy gear that’s versatile and functional: essentials we can turn to at a moment’s notice. We scoped out the soft and stylish scene by Soma, and found game-changing items that can help you master this heroic task.

Around-the-clock comfort starts with ultra-cozy undergarments. If you’re nursing, Soma’s selection of bras is the breast. Designed with a one-handed release cup for easy access, these nursing bras make it super simple to feed babe without any extra stress. Our favorites are the Wireless Unlined Nursing Bra, the Embraceable Full Coverage Contour Nursing Bra, and the Embraceable Wireless Nursing Bra. If you’re interested in barely-there bras that offer the ultimate support, check out Soma’s Enbliss Bralettes. Their second-skin feel is epic—you’ll forget they’re even on.

Since our bodies transform and stretch during all stages of pregnancy and beyond, you might want to try the SOMAINNOFIT Bra to find your new perfect fit. Designed for fit purposes only (not as an everyday bra), this innovative measuring bra provides your exact measurements through your smartphone!

Speaking of the perfect fit, easy, go-to leggings are always essential during a mama’s journey. These two-for-one Reversible Leggings are the most convenient solution when an outfit change is needed—but there’s no time to think about your next ensemble. For a slimming option, try these leggings on for size. They’re designed to take up to 1” or more off your waist.

Top off your can’t-live-without leggings with one of these ultra-soft tunics. Their wear-everywhere silhouettes, with a cloud-like feel, are perfect for layering. Throw on a denim jacket, a blazer or sweater to get through the colder seasons without effort.

When you’re not out and about, relax. And take a deep breath with the help of Soma’s Cool Nights Pajamas and Robes. Instead of dreaming about sweet Zzz’s, make them happen. With long sleeves, short sleeves, and colors and patterns galore, you can easily find sleepwear to live in, season after season.

The most amazing thing about our Soma finds? The price points. These day-to-night luxuries come without the price tag you’d expect. Treat yourself, mama. You deserve it all.

Maternity Clothes for Working Moms: 5 Must-Have Pieces

by Mel Blume Leave a Comment

While a bump is the best accessory ever, sometimes it’s hard to dress. Getting ready for work can become a massive undertaking, one that could require some help. We scoped out the maternity clothes scene and found five pieces that can take you through various stages and seasons with ease.

Must-Have Piece #1: A go-to top

A top you love is always essential.

Gugu Guru loves: This classic flutter-sleeve top that mixes a feminine vibe with timeless style. Featuring vintage-inspired polka dots, it effortlessly keeps you feeling fashionable without compromising comfort. Easy to pair with a simple necklace (like one from Tiny Tags) or a great work-friendly backpack. Finish it with black pants, boots and a blazer for the office, or keep it casual with a denim jacket and easy flats for the weekend.

Must-Have Piece #2: A versatile dress

It’s helpful to have a dress that’s a stylish option for every occasion.

Gugu Guru loves: This sophisticated dress that’s elevated with a wear-everywhere vibe. Not only does it look and feel really good, it can dress you through all three trimesters—and beyond. With patterns galore to choose from, you can find one for meetings, weekend outings, your baby shower and more.

Must-Have Piece #3: Cozy, stylish pants

Find a pair that are effortless to make mornings ultra-easy.

Gugu Guru loves: These skinny ankle pants. Smooth, stretchy, versatile and flattering, we can’t get enough of them. Available in colors for every mood, this insanely popular pair will get more use than you can ever imagine. They’re stylish without effort and oh-so cozy—you cannot go wrong with at least one pair of these perfect pants.

Must-Have Piece #4: A chic, multi-functional diaper bag

You might want to save the big, bulky backpack for an all-day outing, and opt for something more chic-mama-friendly for days you want to feel like…you.

Gugu Guru loves: This desk-to-dinner-to-brunch-to-endless-kiddo-destinations cross-body diaper bag by Anjie+Ash. It’s sleek, vegan leather finish organizes all essentials while lending your looks a fashionable finish.

Must-Have Piece #5: A snug-as-a-hug sweater

And lastly, since it’s fall, we thought we’d round out our list with a beautiful, cooler-weather essential.

Gugu Guru loves: This beautiful and cozy v-neck shaker stitch sweater. From your couch to the corner office, we have no doubt will come in handy. Pair with Ilado’s beautiful maternity necklace as an effortless accessory. Hope this list helps, mama. Keep calm, dress on.
