“Smart” Registry Round-Up

Technology is great… when it works! Here we are to discuss some of our favorite “smart” baby products for 2023 that will absolutely make your life with kiddos easy peasy!

Smart Baby Monitors

Gone are the days of the audio-only baby monitors that many parents used to rely on. Now, parents want real-time information about their little ones to keep worries at bay. The newest monitors on the market are able to give you clear video while tracking things like breathing and sleep. They will alert you when your baby wakes up in the morning, your toddler rolls over in bed, or your big kid jumps out of bed to use the potty.

Nanit offers a sleek smart camera with a variety of stand options. They track sleep history and analytics to provide parents with insight into sleep patterns. Pair with their Breathing Wear to keep an eye on baby from anywhere!

We also love the smart monitor by Miku. They have come up with a way to monitor your little one (including breathing) without any wearables. Like Nanit, they have two-way audio and you can check in from anywhere.

Hatch Grow Changing Pad (and Rest Sound Machine)

The biggest worry parents have for their newborn is if he or she is gaining enough weight. Parents tend to track every feeding, diaper, and milestone. However, tracking weight is generally done only at the pediatrician. The Hatch Grow Changing Pad allows you to monitor baby’s weight between pediatrician appointments. While it’s not a replacement for doctor’s weight visits, it will help ease your mind.

Hatch has also secured their place in the smart bedtime routine. Hatch Rest has become a must-have accessory for many of our families, who love to pair the nightlight/sound machine with their smartphone. The Rest + has a laundry list of features, and will last well beyond the toddler stage!

Blueberry Pediatrics

We’ve been at this COVID lifestyle for more than 2 years. As you’ve parented throughout the Pandemic, you have most likely dealt with other illnesses – RSV, Flu, Strep, Ear Infections, Colds, the list goes on. Wouldn’t it be nice to be connected to a team of Pediatricians who were available 24/7, 365 days a year so you could avoid unnecessary trips to the Emergency Room or Urgent Care when your pediatrician’s office is unavailable? You can! Blueberry Pediatrics provides access to pediatricians around the clock. They can help check your child out and even call prescriptions into your pharmacy. No longer worry about your little one getting sick in the evening (or on vacation, like our kids always do!). Don’t take our word for it! See what Cassy – a mom of 3 who spends lots of time at the pediatrician, has to say.

WINNER! TotTech ForgetMeNot Over 50 children died from being left in hot cars in 2019, TotTech aims to change that. With the launch of our inaugural product, the ForgetMeNot, we hope to bring that number down to zero. The ForgetMeNot is compatible with any car seat and will alert the parent if they are about to leave their child in the car. The ForgetMeNot is a sensor that is easily added to any car seat. Once added to a car seat the ForgetMeNot is able to sense if a child is in the car seat and then automatically turns on and connects to the TotTech app on the parent’s phone. If the phone then ventures too far from the ForgetMeNot it will trigger an alert letting the parent know that they may be leaving their child in the car. If the alert persists for more than ten minutes the parent’s emergency contacts will receive a text informing them of the situation. Pre-order now>>

The crib has an integrated baby monitoring system. Our patented monitor can detect changes in breath-rate, movements and baby sounds and predict a wake-up. The crib keeps track of the baby’s weekly sleep patterns to judge if it’s an unscheduled wake-up. And if it’s still sleeping time, it bounces and plays soothing music to get the baby back to sleep. Rather than reacting when the baby has already woken up crying, the smart crib predicts a baby wake-up early on and acts to help maintain baby sleep. Parents get a helping hand that saves up to 2 hours every day. The product is a sleep coach through the baby’s journey from a new-born to a 2-yr old.

Once activated, the Uphill Support monitors pushing effort and powers the stroller’s ascent, making a steep climb feel like strolling along a level sidewalk. The second function is Uneven Surface Support— helping on rough terrain such as sandy beaches, country paths and snowy winter streets. And the third function is the Downhill Support which detects pulling pressure on the handlebar and slows the stroller’s descent accordingly. Shop now>>

The Ultimate Target Baby Registry

by Gugu Guru 3 Comments

Today we are bringing you the ultimate Target baby registry. We searched Target for our favorite baby products and collected them for you. The best part of the Target baby registry is the fabulous welcome kit full of goodies for mom and baby that you can pick up at Target Guest Services when you create a registry in-store or online. Target also has an awesome 15% completion discount on everything left on your registry (the only kicker is it’s only good until eight weeks before baby’s expected arrival).

Let’s start with the nursery. Likely a room you will be spending a lot of time in as baby grows, it’s important to make sure this is a functional, comfortable place.

Next up is feeding. Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping, or a combination of the 3, Target has what you need.

We love to keep it simple for Health & Wellness: a bath tub, bathing essentials, a grooming kit, and simple diaper needs.

Baby Gear is a category that is worth the splurge! These items will help you manage the chaos of life with a newborn, making life simpler and easier.

Clothing is the most fun baby product category and one of our favorites! Target is full of amazing options to fit every stage of babyhood.

So many options for baby Play, it can be hard to narrow it down. We picked some of our favorites, but Target has many more great baby toys.

We can’t forget about the Parents! Target has your needs covered too!

In the baby world, there are many “nice to have” items that aren’t a necessity but can make your life easier. These are some of our favs.

Did we miss anything? What are your favorite registry items from Target? Let us know!

A Modern Online Photo Album: Tinybeans

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

A modern online photo album, Tinybeans, is a must-have for new parents, especially those living long distances from family. As a military family based in Alaska, having the first grandchild on both sides of our families, we wanted a way to remain connected with family and allow them to see our baby girl growing up and capture all her big “firsts”. Enter Tinybeans! We’ve loved using Tinybeans online photo album to document and showcase her first year of life. The weekly flashbacks receive bring on the happy, proud mama tears every week!

We paid for the premium membership because we wanted to be able to upload videos longer than one minute and keep some memories private for just the three of us! It has been worth every penny!

Another feature we love of this online photo album is the ability to build and purchase a photobook through the Tinybeans website. Though we haven’t ordered it yet, we’ve started compiling and editing our book and we love the ease of doing so. We plan to purchase a photobook using the pictures we collected over the past year.

What our family members have to say about Tinybeans online photo album:

Dada: “It’s very user-friendly and is a fun and easy way to keep your loved ones updated.“

Grammy: “It’s the first thing I check when I wake up every morning. We enjoy the pictures and videos and feel connected across the miles.”

Grandpa: “It gave us an opportunity to see how much she changed from week to week. Love being able to go to one place to show off the granddaughter. I always look forward to mornings and check out Tinybeans first thing to start the day!“

Aunt: “It’s nice to be able to see my niece grow and witness some of the special moments when I couldn’t be there in person. It’s neat to be able to look back at when she was little with their flashbacks.”

Nan: “I look at old photos often. I’ll just page through month after month when I miss her. I also think Tinybeans online photo album is a good way for you to get pictures to family members that you may not normally text pictures to.”

Aunt: “It’s a nice organized way for us all to see her growing up.”

Aunt: “I enjoy being able to feel a part of her growing up even though we are so far away.“

Learn more about Tinybeans and sign up for a free or premium membership here. Use code GUGUGURU20 to get 3 months of premium for free!

Natural Baby Monitor Pick: Evoz Vision Wi-Fi Video Baby Monitor: We love the Evoz Monitor Camera for the sustainability factor!

What’s great about the Evoz is that it can leverage your old device as a monitor so there’s no need for extra equipment.

The Village Reviews: Nanit Pro

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Nanit understands sleep is vital for both babies and parents. Parents can rest easy knowing the Nanit Pro is tracking and analyzing their baby’s breathing, sleep schedule and pattern without having electronics attached to their body. Nanit Pro provides a morning summary with tips to improve baby’s sleep habits. Our Gugu Guru Village Dad, David, tested the Nanit Pro and provided us with his thoughts.

We started using Nanit Pro with our three-month-old. It sure proved to keep our minds at ease while she was asleep at night. The Nanit’s monitoring system is one of a kind working to inform the overworked parents of movements or change in breathing without us having to enter her room. The app itself provides very useful information on the amount of time the baby has slept and how long it took the child to sleep. We are sure that this information will be essential when it comes to sleep training our baby.

As parents raising children in the smartphone era with it constantly by our side, we loved the fact that the user-friendly Nanit app actually turns our phones into the actual parent unit of the monitor instead of having to keep track of an actual monitoring device. We initially thought we had to keep the Nanit app opened all night in order to hear our baby, but we discovered the background noise feature on the app, which allows us to turn off the screen and still have audio of the child’s room. The Nanit app also displays room temperature and humidity levels of the child’s room too! No more guessing if it’s too hot or too cold. Did I mention that this baby monitor has unlimited range?! As long as the camera unit is connected to wifi, we could check on our baby when we were at work, out running an errand or just having a well-deserved date night.

The camera itself has many great features. It has a clear two-way audio feature, nature and white noise sounds, and what we love the most is the night light feature on top of the camera! It helps light up the room just enough for the half-asleep parents to make our way into the room without having to turn on the light. We just can’t say enough good things about the Nanit and wish we would have had it for our first baby.

Thank you to Nanit for providing the Nanit Pro for review. We appreciate our Gugu Village Dad, David, for providing us with his honest review. For additional information on the Nanit-Plus, click here!

4moms mamaRoo4: It’s no secret that we’re huge fans of the 4moms mamaRoo – and it’s because there are just so many reasons to love it! If you’re a high tech mama-to-be looking to get furnish your smart home nursery, you’re going to want to add the 4moms mamaRoo to your must-have baby item list. The mamaRoo is the original and ONLY infant seat that replicates natural motions of parents; it bounces up and down and sways from side to side, just like parents do. If you’re like all new parents and desperate for another set of hands, the mamaRoo will help soothe your baby with the 4 built in sounds and ability to adjust to any position for maximum comfort, up to full recline. With 5 unique motions, the mamaRoo is the perfect swing for multi-tasking parents, as it gives parents an extra pair of hands so that they can get stuff done!

Your baby will always be comfortable in the 4moms mamaRoo, with its smooth nest-knit fabric with breathable 3D air mesh. It’s no surprise that the 4moms mamaRoo is used in over 300 hospitals and loved by many, many parents! See more reasons Gugu Guru loves the 4moms mamaRoo, here.

Kodak Cherish Smart Video Baby Monitor: Baby monitors are a critical piece of any smart home baby registry, as they provide parents with peace of mind so you can sleep, relax, work, or even eat dinner! While there are many options for new parents, we’re excited about the Kodak Cherish Smart Video Baby Monitor for many important reasons! The Kodak Cherish Smart Baby Monitor features WiFi and extended range to deliver a crystal clear HD picture and audio from the baby video camera to your smartphone or tablet. With its tilt, pan and zoom options, you can get a closer look at baby without disturbing their sleep, and we appreciate taking comfort in knowing baby is safe with their motion, temperature and humidity notifications delivered to the Kodak Smart Home App. It also features a two-way talk function and wall mountable capabilities, so you can set yourself up for peace of mind while baby sleeps soundly. Even more helpful, it features built-in rechargeable batteries in both the baby monitor and camera, which means you can take the Kodak Cherish Smart Video Baby Monitor on the road, too.

As featured recently on What’s New on Gugu, the Hatch Baby Rest Plus – one of our favorite sound machine/nightlights has recently received an upgrade. Pair with their app to create a truly essential product for sleep that will grow with your little one. Now an audio monitor as well as a digital clock, this is a must have for any nursery.

While not necessarily for use inside a smart home, tech-loving parents will rejoice over the EveryStage Car Seat from the new Evenflo Gold Line. From a practical standpoint, it’s an all-in-one, grow-with-your child ride, hence the name. What makes it smart? At the heart of this car seat, is the innovative SensorSafeTM technology. Here’s how it works: You download the free SensorSafeTM app and buckle babe to activate SensorSafeTM. The app syncs with the chest clip and alerts you the moment an issue arises with the buckle, harness or babe’s temperature. This incredible technology lets you stay focused on the road and can help to alleviate a great deal of anxiety that can come with driving with little ones in the car.
