Back to Sleep Day 13: ErgoPouch

It’s Day 13 of our Back to Sleep event and it also happens to be the official last day of summer, which makes it seem especially fitting to be showcasing today’s featured product the Winter Sleep Suit from ergoPouch. The ergoPouch Sleep Suit is a safe way to keep baby warm without the need for extra blankets. You can use the Sleep Suit in the crib as a sleeping bag, then convert into legs using the zippers. Read on to find out more about this innovative sleep garment.

All ergoPouch products are made from skin-friendly, natural fibres, including Organic Cotton, Merino and Bamboo. The 2.5 TOG Sleep Suit is designed for Winter temperatures and is made with an Organic Cotton sheeting outer layer and 100% cotton filling.

ergoPouch uses natural fibers for the fillings of its products specifically to improve breathability and temperature regulation. The ergoPouch Winter Sleep Suit may keep your baby snuggly warm but it is highly breathable and also, impressively, antibacterial. When it’s chillier, the garment has long cotton fleece sleeves and fold over mitts for warmth.

The simplicity of converting from Sleep Bag to Sleep Suit using the zippers is what earns our No Fuss badge on the ergoPouch Winter Sleep Suit. This feature makes the transition from crib to stroller or carseat an easy one for parents. The suit fits easily into a stroller or baby carrier. Not to mention that the zippers provide easy access for diaper changes – always a blessing, especially when on the go.

Back to Sleep Day 12: Owlet

by Gugu Guru 6 Comments

With unintentional suffocation the leading cause of injury death among U.S. children under the age of one, it’s no wonder parents often have trouble getting a good night’s sleep during baby’s first year. So, on the twelfth day of Back To Sleep, we are featuring a company that has an amazing mission when it comes to safe sleep: Owlet. Owlet is a device worn like a sock on your baby’s foot designed to alert you if your baby stops breathing. With the Owlet monitor, parents and caregivers can rest easy knowing there is an extra set of eyes watching over baby.

While Owlet is certainly cutting edge, this is actually a “smart” device you don’t really need to be a gadget geek to appreciate. The Owlet device uses hospital technology called pulse oximetry, miniaturized into a snuggly Smart Sock that your little one wears to bed at night. The base station collects vitals data from the Smart Sock via bluetooth to the base station located on the parents’ night stand. Then parents can remotely monitor vitals within the smart phone app.

If you’re a working parent and especially one that may leave baby at daycare, you can have peace of mind that Owlet is monitoring baby, providing peace of mind. Owlet is the only monitor that uses hospital technology designed to alert if your baby’s heart rate or oxygen fall outside of range. Plus if both parents work both of you can access your child’s information on the Owlet app from your respective smartphones.

Owlet was founded by a team of passionate parents who wanted to bring themselves—and other parents around the globe—peace of mind. The co-founders of Owlet, all of whom are young fathers, have learned firsthand what it is like to lose sleep worrying about their babies. As parents, the team at Owlet feels that they are their own target market – all have young children and all have experienced the stress of coming home that first night and the hundreds of the feelings and emotions that come with it. The Owlet team is built around this knowledge and passion for helping others.

Back to Sleep Day 11: 4moms Breeze

by Gugu Guru 9 Comments

This is hands-down, one of the coolest play yards out there. Any seasoned parent will tell you that play yards can be so dang confusing. Some have this whole step-by-step process of popping up the sides and then pushing some button in the middle while the sides that you thought were popped in wind up collapsing on you… (Wait, yeah, that’s not the way it’s supposed to go but that’s been our experience and the experience of many others.) And that is why the team at Gugu Guru just loves the sleep-certified 4moms Breeze. Learn more about whether this product is a fit for your lifestyle and/or baby registry then enter to win one below.

Aside from its general ease of use and the fact that it comes with a convenient travel bag, the 4moms Breeze is so sturdy and well made that it is sure to withstand the beating that traveling baby gear typically takes. From being stacked on to thrown on a conveyor belt, rest assured that the Breeze can take it and will still provide a comfy, familiar place for baby once you arrive at your destination. The fact that both the play yard and bassinet attachment wipe clean with a damp cloth is also a bonus when you’re on the road frequently.

4moms is really THE gear brand for tech loving parents. The company actually doesn’t call itself a “baby gear company” but rather a “consumer technology company that leverages robotics, technology and innovative design to disrupt and redefine.” With its one touch open and close feature, the Breeze doesn’t disappoint in terms of disrupting the category.

4moms calls its Breeze “seriously easy” and we agree, hence our No Fuss badge here. To open the Breeze, you just give one push. To close the Breeze, you just pull a single time. Anyone who has ever battled with a clunky play yard of the past will more than appreciate the ease of use that the Breeze has to offer. Furthermore, there’s something to be said about “so easy to use that a grandparent can figure it out” and that definitely applies here.

Back To Sleep Day 9: Solly Baby

by Gugu Guru 3 Comments

One of the most popular carriers on Gugu Guru’s registry is featured in today’s Back To Sleep – Solly Baby. Solly Baby offers some of the most beautiful and functional wrap style baby carriers in the market today. Solly Baby wraps reflect your personal aesthetic; seamlessly & luxuriously integrating all of the benefits of babywearing and the beauty of still being YOU! Read on to see if this product is a fit for your lifestyle and baby registry, then enter today for a chance to win a wrap from the new FW16 collection. Can’t wait to see if you win one? Solly Baby wraps are made of 100% Certified Lenzing Modal, sourced from the pulp of Austrian Beechwood trees. Lenzing Modal, a modal fiber from Lenzing, is naturally soft on the skin and exceptionally ecological. The fiber is produced using Edelweiss technology. Edelweiss stands for a “symbiotic” production process – pulp, the raw material, is produced at the same site as the Modal fiber itself. Thus production can be done while going easy on energy and other resources.

Moms love traveling with their Solly Baby wrap because it’s a lifesaver! It gives you your hands back while keeping your baby close. A Solly Baby wrap helps to calm even the fussiest babies, especially babies with reflux or gas. (A Pediatric study found that wearing your infant 3 hours a day reduces infant crying by 43% – that’s something everyone on your flight will cheer about with you!) Solly Baby Wraps provide a womb-like environment for baby when you’re on the go that makes them feel secure, safe, and comfortable.

Because they are constructed with Certified Lenzing Modal, Solly Baby wraps are incredibly lightweight, cool to the touch and get softer with each wash all while being strong enough to be dried in a conventional dryer on low heat without wearing down.

Back to Sleep Day 8: Bitta Kidda

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

On this eighth day of Back to Sleep, we highlight the BittaSack from Bitta Kidda – one of the most thoughtfully designed and safest sacks that we’ve ever discovered. The BittaSack is mostly known for its two strategically placed wearable lovies for baby to grab for self-soothing during the night. These lovies cannot twist around baby or cover baby’s face, making the BittaSack the only sleep garment of its kind to safely provide a lovie in the crib. Plus, because the lovie is attached, it can’t be lost in the crib or tossed out of the crib – bonus! But, wait, there’s more! Read on to find out what else is so great about this sleep sack… The BittaSack definitely helps with baby fussing but also soothes mom & dad! Late night diaper changes are now not a problem. We give the BittaSack our No Fuss stamp because its genius diagonal zipper is easier to zip and also allows baby to stay comfortable while you easily change diapers. Just unzip diagonal zipper while leaving shoulder snapped, open internal diaper cover and change baby’s diaper. Once you’re done, refasten diaper cover and zip baby back up. The whole time your baby stays cozy with lovie in hand.

Oftentimes daycares don’t allow for lovies or blankies during naptime, as they can be a sleeping hazard. If your baby loves to hold on to something while they sleep (which most do!), this is the perfect daycare accompaniment because it will help them get a great nap!

Bitta Kidda also offers BittaDaytime – a small cotton velour Lovie that clips directly to clothing, which is perfect for traveling. The lovie is always in reach when baby needs to self soothe and provides comfort (and entertainment!) when you are out and about in unfamiliar settings. We also love that we can now enjoy stroller walks knowing that the lovie can’t fall to the ground – or worse – get tossed out of the stroller and lost forever.

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

We are seven days into our Back To Sleep event and we are featuring true mattress innovation today with Newton Baby. Newton’s Wovenaire technology is not only 100% breathable but it has the perfect combination of cushy firmness to cradle your little one to sleep and help them stay asleep longer. What’s more is that Newton is the first washable and 100% recyclable crib mattress. Have we got your attention yet? We thought so. Read on to get the details about this cutting-edge product.

The Newton mattress cover has two layers of highly breathable spacer fabric quilted together in an attractive cloud pattern to create soft pillows of air. The patented Wovenaire core is 90% air and 10% food-grade polymer and provides the comfort of foam and latex without any of the drawbacks. The Wovenaire design allows for air flow through the mattress – keeping away moisture and helping regulate temperature so no more sweaty baby backs!

Can you say 100% recyclable? Yes, that’s right – the Green Guard Gold certified Newton mattress is 100% recyclable. Additionally, the process used to manufacture Newton mattresses is environmentally responsible, as well as safe for your family. None of the foam, latex, springs and glue common in other crib mattresses means no off gassing, toxic chemicals or allergens. Plus it’s free of biocides and toxic fire retardants.

We give this mattress our No Fuss badge because it is WASHABLE! What’s that you say? Yes, washable. Just unzip the polyester cover and throw it right in the washing machine. Then place your Wovenaire mattress in the shower or tub and clean using a mild detergent and cold water. Lay your Wovenair on its side to dry for 2-6 hours and voila – you have a like new mattress that will last years to come!

Back To Sleep Day 6: Gunamuna

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

It’s Day 6 of our Back To Sleep event and we’re showcasing a newer and smarter wearable blanket – the Gunapod from Gunamuna. Developed by moms, the Gunapod is a soft baby sleep sack that has a simple-yet-ingenious layout of zippers and snaps incredibly easy to adjust into many configurations, which means baby is more comfortable & mom’s life is easier. In our Back to Sleep event, we’re highlighting the new duvet Gunapod constructed with luxurious bamboo viscose.

The Gunapod is super easy wherever you find yourself changing a diaper. The WONDERZiP opens the Gunapod completely from underarm to underarm, with four separate pulls thereby functioning in a multitude of ways. This provides the easiest, fastest diaper change along with multiple ways to easily transfer baby, while keeping him or her covered and warm.

With its unique, more modern fit in luxury fabrics plus duvet, you’ll find that Gunapod is super comfortable in a car or plane; keeping baby warm and snug while traveling. It’s also a safe sleep necessity in a hotel that can get chilly with A/C. By unzipping in many combinations, the WONDERZiP system allows customized control of warmth so baby is comfortable with changing temperatures while traveling.

Wearable Blankets are a necessity for daycare as no loose blankets are allowed. Gunamuna is one of the most comfortable for baby and offers easy changes for daycare provider.

Back To Sleep Day 5: QuickZip Sheets

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

We’re finishing off Back to Sleep with one of our founder, Monica’s, must-haves: QuickZip Sheets. A new, improved, easy-to-change crib sheet that zippers on and off, QuickZip Sheets allow for fast changes. They’re included in our safe infant sleep feature because QuickZip wraps all the way around the mattress. This means it’s a safer alternative to traditional crib sheets that can pop off your baby’s mattress, which can pose an entanglement risk.

QuickZip earns Gugu Guru’s “No Fuss” label because its patented, two-piece crib sheet system allows parents to simply drop the mattress in the base just one time and the Zip-On Sheet zips off and on in seconds. This means there’s no more wrestling with mattresses or bumpers.

Plain and simple: when you’re a mom of multiples, you’re going to be looking for the most efficient way to do things around the house (especially since 80% of multiple births are c-section births.) This is especially true when it comes to those middle of the night mishaps. QuickZip sheets delivers that efficiency for parents of multiples – no more lifting up the mattress or removing bumpers.

While parents hail the QuickZip Sheets as lifesavers because they spare so many from the back pain associated with the struggle around changing standard crib sheets, C-Section mamas have something else to cheer about with the product’s ease of use. If you have a c-section, your doctor will tell you that you have to be EXTREMELY careful with household chores due to your stitches and incision for the first 6 weeks of recovery. QuickZip Sheets help you worry less about one thing that you’ll be doing a lot of: changing sheets!

Back To Sleep Day 4: Nanit

by Gugu Guru 1 Comment

Today we’re highlighting a brand new, truly “smart” baby monitor on the market that provides deep insights into your baby’s sleeping habits – Nanit.

What makes Nanit different is that it actually measures and understands sleep using computer vision and machine learning. It tells you how long your baby slept, analyzes sleep patterns, keeps track of nighttime visits, plus delivers summaries of day and night sleep — helping both you and baby get more zzz’s. Not only that, but Nanit provides a crystal-clear live stream of the crib from a patented bird’s eye perspective and has superior night vision (no more fuzzy images!) So you’ll always have the best view of baby in the crib.

If you’re a working mom, rest assured that as long as Nanit’s connected to the Internet, you’ll be able to monitor your baby via Nanit’s app from anywhere in the world; whether it’s your office or on a business trip. In addition, multiple users (e.g., dad, caregivers – even grandparents!) can access Nanit’s camera at the same time via Nanit’s app. You can set up multiple users for your account through the app’s settings.

More than one baby on the way? The Nanit may be a good fit for you! While parents of multiples need to buy separate Nanit cameras to keep an eye on both children, the app is designed to allow parents to seamlessly switch between the two camera views.
