Minimalist Baby Registry Must-Haves

by Gugu Guru 1 Comment

Let’s talk Minimalism + Baby Registry. What do you really need for baby? We have a free checklist of what you need to put on your baby registry, but as the Beatles tune goes, “all you need is love.” In a baby’s case, it’s really true – all you need is love… and to be held and fed. If you talk to seasoned moms, they’ll all pretty much tell you the same thing: you really don’t need much for your newborn.  Plus, the current trend is to simplify & organize. For motherhood, this starts with your baby registry.

Gugu Guru’s list of essentials below focuses on high quality and practicality. For an expectant parent, “practical” can mean products that are versatile, multi-functional and possibly gender-neutral. Gear should be long-lasting, possibly portable, and not take up too much space.  Sometimes high quality can equate to a higher price tag, so we’ve listed a budget-friendly alternative below when possible.

Important Note: there are some essential items we’re leaving out altogether, such as bottles, pacifiers and diapers (there’s a strong likelihood you’ll have to try a few brands to figure out what brand works best for your babe) and clothing (chances are you’ll be gifted a lot of clothes.) We’re also not including breast pumps here because you should consult with Acelleron to determine what brands are available for free from your insurance.

BABYBJORN® Bouncer Bliss

Minimalist Baby Registry BABYBJORN® Bouncer Bliss

One item we recommend to every single parent is a bouncer. Our top recommendation is the BABYBJORN Bouncer Bliss. Its lightweight design is portable and folds flat. Your child will enjoy gentle, natural bouncing – no batteries or cords are needed, and Bouncer Bliss makes no noise. Use Bouncer Bliss from newborn and up to the age of two years. Once your child has learned to sit unaided, you can turn the fabric around and use it as a comfortable children’s chair. Splurge a little more for the toy bar that fits perfectly for added entertainment.
Looking for a budget-friendly alternative? Check out Baby Delight Alpine Deluxe Portable Bouncer

UPPAbaby VISTA V2 Stroller

The VISTA V2 Stroller  from UPPAbaby adapts as your family grows to accommodate your little one from birth through the toddler years. The versatile design can also be configured to conveniently transport up to 3 children to roll with life’s changing momentum.  You’ll also need the MESA car seat as well, which snaps right into the VISTA V2.

Not a fit for your budget? Check out The City Select Stroller from Baby Jogger, which like the VISTA, starts out as a full-featured single stroller but can be configured to accommodate up to 3 kids. Just make sure you have a compatible car seat and adaptor.

Solly Baby Wrap

Minimalist Baby Registry Solly Baby Wrap

Solly wraps are designed for the first year or up to 25 lbs, and the majority of babes get the most use during the first 9 months. Lightweight, easy to put on, Solly Baby wraps give you and your little one unparalleled closeness and comfort (read: “wrap naps” for hours), less crying (it’s proven!), and reduced rates of postpartum depression. Made in the USA and constructed from certified Lenzing modal, which is a lightweight, buttery soft and sustainable fabric sourced from the pulp of Austrian beechwood trees.

Not a fit for your budget? Check out the Baby K’tan Carrier, which takes the guesswork out of putting on a soft carrier.

Nuna CUDL

Keep your little one cuddled close while out and about with the Nuna CUDL. This modern carrier is easy to put on and gives you 4 ways to safely carry baby. The infant insert is built into the carrier, providing a much more comfortable fit for parent + baby.  Not a fit for your budget? Check out the Boppy ComfyFit Carrier.

Boon Naked Infant Tub

The Boon Naked Tub is perfect for bathing your precious newborn. Perfect for newborns – toddlers, this tub can sit on your counter, in your tub, or even in your shower. Drain the tub, and fold flat to hang for easy storage. Voila, bath time is complete! Of course, you’ll also need shampoo and body wash to actually get baby to be squeaky clean and for this, we recommend starting with something fragrance free for baby’s delicate skin.

Looking for something a bit more budget-consicous? Check out the Summer Deluxe Baby Bather

FridaBaby Bitty Bundle of Joy 4-Piece Kit

Minimalist Baby Registry FridaBaby® Bitty Bundle of Joy 4-Piece Kit

Gugu Guru LOVES FridaBaby products. The Bitty Bundle of Joy Kit is the perfect gift for new moms and moms to be in preparation for their little one. This kit features everyday essentials for you and your newborn like the absolute must-have NoseFrida Snotsucker and more. Pair with a couple of our other FridaBaby favorites, like the Rectal Thermometer and the Hairbrush + Styling Comb and you’ve got your basics covered.

Muslin Swaddle Blankets

Our Gugu Guru Concierge experts always put muslin swaddle blankets at the top of their must-have list. Initially, they are great for swaddling, but soon they will turn into your go-to for everything! Playmat? Check. Burp Cloth? Check. Feeding cover? Check. Keeping baby warm in the stroller on a chilly walk? Check! You will use these for years. We love the swaddle blankets by Rookie Humans, which will truly soften with every use.

Not quite in your budget? Check out the variety sets by aden + anais.

Keekaroo Peanut ChangerMinimalist Baby Registry Keekaroo Peanut Changer

We struggled with whether or not a diaper changing pad is really an “essential.” While we know that you can get a waterproof reusable changing pad to lay on your floor, we do love the convenience of a silicone changing pad. Easily placed on top of your dresser, the Keekaroo will round out your changing station. This modern changer wipes clean and does not require any extra covers.

Looking for a different option? We also love the Skip Hop Baby Changing Pad.

Crane 4-in-1 Cool Mist Humidifier and Sound Machine

For creating a healthy, peaceful sleeping environment almost every mom we polled recommends a white noise machine and a humidifier. Gugu Guru’s pick is always the Crane 4-in-1 Humidifier. With a combined top fill, cool mist humidifier and sound machine, and even a night light, we can’t say enough great things about this humidifier! Speaking of nursery ambiance, many parents also say that black out curtains are a must-have. At Gugu Guru, we think this may or may not be an essential for you.

Nanit  Pro Camera

Unless your baby will be sharing a room with you for the foreseeable future, a video monitor will give you great peace of mind. The Nanit Pro Camera is a techy minimalist’s dream! Using an app on your phone, you can check in on baby from anywhere. No more carrying around a monitor screen and staying ‘within range.’

Looking for a standard screen + camera monitor? Check out the Vava Video Baby Monitor.

Wanting something less costly? GoodBaby monitor on Amazon is a great video monitor!

ergopouch Cocoon Swaddle

Minimalist Baby Registry ergoPouch ergoCocoon

The ergoPouch swaddle is a minimalist’s dream with its 2-in-1 functionality; there are poppers in the armholes to transform from a swaddle to a sleeping bag.  Constructed with eco-friendly, breathable fabric, the simple zip-up design will keep baby snug and securely swaddled without the need for complicated wrapping or extra blankets.

Plain Onesies and Pajamas 

Minimalist Baby Registry Hanna Andersson Night Night Baby Sleepers In Pure Organic Cotton

We know we said no clothing on this list, but onesies and pajamas are each an exception to the rule. Skin-friendly undergarments are a necessity for your little one. They are easy to layer and quite practical. As far as pajamas, you’ll want to {strongly} consider zippers or magnetic closures, since snaps are frustrating during wee-hours diaper changes.  Gugu Guru founder, Monica, swears by Hanna Andersson’s Night Night Baby Sleepers, which she used for both of her kiddos. Our team also loves Magnetic Me, Little Sleepies, Kyte Baby, and Carters!

Green Sprouts Muslin Burp Cloths

Muslin Burp Cloths are at the top of our recommendations for every parent! They are soft (and get softer with every wash!), easy to clean, and hold up through every mess you may encounter. Green Sprouts has our absolute favorite burp cloth! They are big enough to sit comfortably on your shoulder and don’t shrink in the dryer. We LOVE these burp cloths!!

The Gerber Birdseye 10-Pack Cotton Prefolded Diapers are also a great set to have on hand and all around the home.

Minimalist Diaper Bag

Why buy a new diaper bag when you have so many great bags at home? With the a Totesavvy diaper bag insert, you can make any bag into your diaper bag! Fit inside any bag – from a small zip tote to Dad’s backpack. So easy to swap in and out! Looking for something that can stand alone? We also love the Belt Bag by Kibou and the TWELVElittle clutch.

High Chair

Inglesina Fast Table Chair

Comfortable as it is convenient, the Inglesina Fast Table Chair is a definite must-have for minimalists. Lightweight design features simple, twist-tight couplings compatible with most types of tables (up to 3.5″ thick).

Looking for a standard high chair that will grow with your little one? We love the Nomi High Chair.

Books

From Sandra Boynton to Dr. Seuss to Baby Einstein, there are too many amazing books out there to list in one blog post but the profound benefits of reading to your baby make books one of the most important minimalist essentials that you should add to your registry.

Other Items That *Might* Be Minimalist Baby Registry Essentials For You…

The following items may or may not be essentials for you depending on how much space you have in your home, frequency of travel and more.  If you are unsure about if these or any items are an essential for you, reach out to the experts at Gugu Guru and we will let you know.

  • Depending on whether baby will have his/her own nursery and how big that space is, you will need a crib and for minimalist purposes we recommend one that will grow with your child like the space-saving DaVinci Autumn 4-in-1 Convertible Crib, which also comes with an attached changer. For our minimalist mattress pick, we love the Newton Baby Crib Mattress.
  • A rocker/recliner chair like this Olive Upholstered Swivel Glider and Ottoman  from DaVinci. This could be a must-have if you plan to nurse (you’ll need a comfortable place to do so) and if you have a separate nursery for baby.
  • A 3-in-1 travel crib like this Graco Pack ‘n Play Playard with Reversible Napper and Changer. This playard is made with multitasking parents in mind. The soft and cozy napping station doubles as a changing table, which you can remove to transition into a spacious playard for your growing baby. This could be a must-have if you plan to have baby sleep in your room before moving him/her to a nursery and/or if you’re a frequent traveler.

Must Haves for Nursing and/or Pumping Moms…

Covered Goods 4-in-1 Multi-Use Cover

Covered Goods™ 4-in-1 Multi-Use Cover in Black/Ivory Stripes

Offering style and versatility, the Covered Goods 4-in-1 Multi-Use Cover functions as a nursing cover, car seat cover, scarf, and shopping cart cover. Attractively constructed of a comfortable, stretch fabric, the cover provides true all-over coverage.

bbhugme Nursing Pillow

Our favorite feeding pillow is hands-down the bbhugme Nursing Pillow. Not only does this pillow come in a variety of colors that will fit seamlessly into your home decor, it’s the perfect companion for breastfeeding/nursing at home, on travel, and simply wherever you are.

Other nursing essentials include:

  • Cute nursing bras that don’t make you feel like a granny.  We love the Larken X and the bras by Kindred Bravely.
  • Layers of clothing that will transition despite the season and last you from nursing and beyond. Think cute tanks and cardigans like the genius Goodbody Good Mommy cardigan.
  • Nursing pads – we love these disposable ones from nanobebe and these washable, reusable pads from Bamboobies.
  • Breast care products such as these breats relief packs and nipple butter like this Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter.

Other Items That *Might* Be Essentials For Pumping Moms …

The following items may or may not be essentials for you depending on whether you’re planning to return to work, if you will be working away from home and other factors.  If you are unsure about if these or any items are an essential for you, reach out to the experts at Gugu Guru and we will let you know.

  • Multi-tasking moms will love the Kindred Bravely Hands-Free Nursing and Pumping Bra which allows to be hands free while you pump.
  • Providing everything you need to carry and organize your breast pump and accessories if you’re returning to work away from home, the Motif Medical Breast Pump Backpack.
  • For pumping moms, we LOVE the Kiinde Twist Gift Set. With the Twist system, pumping, storing, organizing and feeding is all done using the same pouch, completely eliminating the need for constant transferring of precious breastmilk.

Minimalism Tip #1:

Keep receipts! If you find you received a gift that you’re just not using, you can return it. Don’t cut tags off until the very last moment when you’re absolutely sure you’re going to use that item!

Minimalism Tip #2:

Skip the swing altogether. Some babies like swings and some babies hate them. Instead of spending money to find out what category your baby falls into, either check BST groups on Facebook or see if a friend can loan you one that her baby has grown out of. You can also just register for a swing and if your baby doesn’t enjoy it, go back to tip #1 – save receipts.

Minimalism Tip #3:

Also, don’t stock up on newborn size diapers or clothing. If your baby is bigger than expected s/he might not even fit into them. People tend to gift babies lots of clothing in general. Have one box on hand a few pairs of pajamas. Once baby arrives, you’ll know what sizing works.

Mom Creator Curations: The Best Baby Travel Gear

by Gugu Guru 4 Comments

Although wild weather and snowstorms seem to be spreading throughout the country, spring travel really is around the corner. We have reached out to our network of mom creators to help us discuss their must-have travel products for baby. See what they had to say below and for extra credit, give them a follow!

Plane Travel with Baby: Comfort

Anytime you head to the airport with baby, there can be a great deal of unpredictability. Flight delays, nap disruptions, and the inability to ‘exit’ can add a layer of stress to any travel day. Our mom creators have so many suggestions for keeping your little one busy on the plane. Take a look!

Feeding schedules can be a logistical nightmare when you’re flying with your little one. If you’re bottle feeding, be sure to bring extra breastmilk or formula in case of delays. Also, load up a few extra bottles in case you aren’t able to clean your bottles as you would at home. We prefer Nanobebe’s Flexy silicone bottles (like Madison C.), which are lightweight and leakproof. Their wide base makes them a great choice for travel as they are much sturdier while filling on the go.

A great carrier will make travel day a cinch. Something that’s comfy to wear and easy to put on is always our go-to recommendation. We also love something that folds up small to take up barely any space in your carry-on (which we know is already filled with TONS of snacks). Check out the Ergobaby Embrace or the Baby Bjorn Mini. As an added bonus, these will double as a nursing cover if you’re breastfeeding on takeoff or landing.

Travel with Baby: Simplicity

Toys to help keep your little one busy are always a hit. Fat Brain Toy Company’s Squigz and Whirly Squigz are a favorite for Shannon W. “They are easy to stick to the window, tray table, or even your own forehead! They are easy to clean and don’t take up much space.”

If you are looking for that great travel stroller with baby, look no further! Doona’s all-in-one car seat/stroller makes travel a breeze. Chelsea A. agrees – “The Doona makes everything easier!” The wheels pop right out from the infant seat, meaning you no longer have to travel with a car seat AND a stroller.

Go-Be Sleeves are also a must when traveling with littles. Keep those germs at bay with the easy-to-use tray table cover. See what Cassy A. has to say about this travel essential.

Looking for a more traditional travel stroller? Take a look at our highlight of Lightweight Travel Strollers.

Destination Essentials

Whether you’re taking that cross-country flight or jumping into the car for your annual road trip, let’s talk about some necessities at your destination.

If your destination doesn’t include a safe place for baby to sleep, be sure to pack one. We love recommending playards. They fold up and can move with you on the go. Check out the options by Graco, 4moms and Guava Family. Expert tip – Pair with a Slumberpod to create a dark sleep environment even when you’re sleeping in the same room!

A stroller wagon (check out the newest lineup from Larktale!) can be a game-changer when you’re traveling with your baby. Most stroller wagons will give you great push or pull access and they will also double as great storage. When you’re going to be active during the day, a stroller wagon will always fit the bill.

Lastly, travel with baby isn’t complete without your play and entertainment items. First, your playard can easily transform from sleep to play throughout the day. Looking to recreate your playmat? Grab a swaddle blanket, some teethers and stuffed animals and you’ve got an on-the-go activity mat.

If all else fails, Shannon B. swears by the Busy Baby Mat while traveling with her little one. “I have a 2 year old daughter, we are out and about often which often includes a stop for lunch. I never leave the house without our BusyBaby Mat! The bottle leash was super helpful when she was taking a bottle, so she couldn’t throw it!”

Registry Must Haves: Infant Feeding

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

When it comes to a registry, there are a few brands that are a must to check out whether you are breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding and anything in between. We’re breaking it down to our must haves for all types of feeding.

Breastfeeding

Nanobebe’s Breastmilk Starter Set is great for moms who plan to breastfeed or pump. It includes everything you need to conveniently pump, store, warm, and feed. The bottle is one of a kind and mimics the natural breastfeeding latch for baby to allow for a smooth transition from breast, to bottle, and back.

Formula Feeding

Nanobebe’s Flexy silicone baby bottle is perfect for formula feeding babes. With a natural feel and non-collapsing nipple it’s easy for baby, and with a non-tip stable base and easy to clean design, it’s easy for parents too.

Pumping

Even if you don’t plan to pump, it’s important to register for a pump or apply for one through your insurance so you are prepared for anything. Our favorites are the Motif Luna Double Electric Breast Pump (with Battery), or for something more portable, the Luna Duo.

You’ll also want to register for breastmilk storage bags. Nanobebe sells lie-flat, breastmilk storage bags for the freezer or fridge that allow for safe and quick thawing and warming. They even sell an organizer to save space when storing.

First Foods

Though it seems a far way off when you’re creating your registry, registering for items you’ll need when starting foods with your little one is a great idea. We love ezpz for all things feeding accessories! From silicone suction mats that actually stay in place, to cups to silverware and more, they have all the accessories you’ll need to for mealtime.

Snacks are always a must have! Little Bellies offers truly delicious organic foods for babies and toddlers. The snacks are age-appropriate with subtle flavors and textures littles will love. They are great for on the go and you’ll be glad you registered for these ahead of time.

If you are interested in making your own baby food, check out the First Years First Fresh Foods Blender & Steamer. It steams and blends fruit to the custom consistency you choose for your baby and its design makes it super easy to clean (can you say dishwasher safe?).

A Word of Advice

How you feed your baby is a very personal decision. No matter how you choose to feed your baby, you are a great mom. Only you know what the right choice is for you and your little one. We wish we had a crystal ball and could tell you exactly what you need, but we think it’s always a good idea to be prepared for anything. Most baby registries will allow you to easily return items for a gift card if you end up not needing something. Keep that in mind as you register and cover all your bases!

Feeding Tips from our Mom Creators

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

Whether you’re feeding a newborn, a toddler, or your entire family, our experienced Mom Creators have the best advice. Our creators are real moms (like you!) who are sharing their advice on products they have used with their own kids. Check out some excellent tips and tricks straight from our network of experienced moms. We’ve been there mama, and we got you!

Breastfeeding

If you’re going to breastfeed your little one, it is so important to have a great feeding pillow. They will give baby extra support, lifting your little love closer to nurse. In turn, you will save your lower back from the added pain of leaning forward during mealtime. A favorite for many of our Mom Creators is the nursing pillow by bbhugme. It is customizable to your size and shape, making it great for moms of all sizes. Plus it works well for bottle-fed babies and has a great carrying case for travel.

Pumping

Pumping can feel like a full-time job, so it’s great to make things a little easier with an excellent pump and some pump-friendly clothing. Our Mom Creators are constantly raving about the items from Kindred Bravely. Comfortable bras, joggers, and pajamas that will always answer the question, “What does a new mom wear?”

Bottle Feeding

Bottles should be easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to put together. Whether they are glass, plastic, or silicone, find a bottle you love to use and it’s likely your little one will fall in suit. Our Mom Creators are in love with the silicone nanobébé bottles. They have a vented nipple to help your little one with gas issues and are great if you’re going between breast and bottle. Check here for even more reviews on nanobébé.

Introducing Solids

Your little one’s not so little anymore and you’re ready to introduce solids. Where to start and what products might I need? We love the whole line from Green Sprouts baby – from burp cloths, to silicone first foods feeder, to bibs, they have so many excellent eco-friendly basics. They even have an entire line of cups that have been made out of plants! Their products grow with your little ones and you will use them over and over with every single stage.

Our Mom Creators have been there and done that. See more products our Mom Creators have tried and loved with their little ones.

All About the Nipple

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

We spend so much time talking about bottles. What’s important about bottles, what they’re made out of… the reality is – We have to start paying more attention to the nipple. Especially for those babies who are going between bottle and breast.

When you think about breastfed babies taking a bottle, the key is nipple placement. When they’re nursing, they’re actually taking the nipple and pulling it into their mouth to really reach back where their hard palate meets their soft palate. Your bottle nipples need to mimic that movement so that when they go between bottle and breast it is simple for them and comfortable for you.

Taking a closer look, you’ll see some anti-collapsible features built right into the nipple as well as vents. The vents are important because they allow air to escape while your little one eats. The non-collapsible design features ridges that prevent the nipple from inverting, so feeding time isn’t interrupted and baby keeps their natural latch.These are both features that will make the eating process so much more seamless. Bon appetit to your babes!

Thank you to Nanobébé for creating an excellent product and for your help with this post.

Real Mom Reviews: Gladly Family Pod Diaper Bag

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

Diaper Bags are often a new parents’ lifeline to the outside world. Fill with all of life’s necessities and you are ready to tackle the day. Of course, your must haves – diapers, wipes, and snacks/bottles for your little one are a must. But what if your diaper bag could also become a safe sleep environment for your little one? No more returning home for nap time, when you can nap on the go! Five families tested out Gladly Family’s Pod Diaper Bag. Here’s what they had to say.

Samira

The Gladly Pod Diaper Bag is seriously such a hit with my little one! We love it! I picked the gray color. Let me start by saying the buttery soft fabric is extremely high quality and looks very high-end. The way the bag easily zips and converts to the changing pod/bed is phenomenal. With the amount of space it has, I wasn’t expecting it to pull out into such a cozy baby bed with the patterned padded mattress insert with such a cute print. I love the zipper pockets in the front with lots of space for accessories, and I also love that you can carry it like a shoulder bag with the option to remove the straps or use the handles. I am going on a trip to PA next week and we are definitely bringing this bag so my LO who is 1 can nap during our layover or if I need to change any diapers in the airport. This bag is going to be so functional for our travels! Thank you Gladly Family.

Edith

I received this Gladly Family Diaper Bag as part of a product review. The Pod diaper bag shipped to me quickly and came packaged in an easy to open box and protective plastic bag. I took it out and my first reaction was how pretty the tan outside color and the silky floral pattern inside is. I opened the bag and was pleasantly surprised by how spacious it is. There are multiple pockets to hold our diapers, wipes, bottle, and clothes. I loved the changing station that folds out from this bag. Easy to use, big and roomy. Great to put baby in a safe space while napping on a trip outdoors. My favorite thing is how much room this bag has and that the fabrics are easy to clean. It’s comfortable to carry with the padded straps. Overall this is a fantastic diaper bag for on the go and especially family trips. I can carry everything I need for baby in one stylish bag.

Ankita

The Diaper bag has enough space to carry all the essentials needed on the go. It has insulated pockets for bottles and could even fit in a breast pump if you plan to pump on the airport or flight. The bag could hold diapers, wipes, change of clothes, burp clothes, bibs, creams, toys as well as meal time essentials like feeding bibs, spoons, storage containers. There are ample pockets to arrange all the items well. I even used it to store the medicines that might be needed while we were traveling. It helps in keeping all the baby items at one place so you do not have to worry about carrying multiple bags and it’s accepted as a carry-on luggage, fitting perfectly in the overhead bin. It is easy to carry, I had it attached to my travel luggage and was able to spin in around easily. 

The travel cot is quick to assemble and disassemble and the iron rods are fitted well to make it sturdy and also hidden from baby’s view. The Gladly family has looked into security from all perspectives. It is perfect for those airport naps or if you want your baby to be confined to a safe space during layover. It is perfect for diaper changes as well. The color is gender neutral and perfect for both parents. We absolutely loved the product and highly recommend it.

Danielle

As a city mom of two young girls, I am always going! Between 1.5-mile-long walks to daycare, running to work meetings, and bopping around my city’s parks, cafes, play spaces, and restaurants – I need a bag to not only fit all of my little’s essentials but be as stylish as the stroller I am pushing and outfit I am wearing. The Gladly Family Pod Diaper Bag Changing Station & Travel Cot fulfills all those needs and so much more. There is plenty of room to carry all our essentials and backup emergency supplies. It can also open and expand into a mini cot to make diaper changes, nap time, and playtime outside safe and clean.

The bag is made of soft, luxe vegan leather.  I am a stickler for organization and easy to access belongings.  In the past, I had to purchase special organizers for my bag, however this bag as so many compartments designed for all different types of products.  From the insulated bottle holder to interior mesh storage pockets, interior zipper pockets and outside pockets to grab essentials quickly and easily – this bag has a home for all your needs.  It is also very comfortable to carry with many options to do so.  The straps easily adjust as well so if you have caregivers of different heights using the bag, they can do so without a problem.  Lightweight, stylish, easy to use, and roomy – the Gladly Family Pod Diaper Bag Changing Station & Travel Cot is a MUST have.

The color and fabric of this bag is of very good quality. I do love the bed/changing feature as it is very spacious and can fit my one-year-old inside comfortably. The one thing I am not fond of is there are not many pockets in the bag to fit bottles and to keep things organized. However, the large side is very spacious and can fit most everyday essentials. A few things I wish this bag would have compared to the other diaper bags that I have used are multiple pockets, a USB port, and a backpack strap. Thank you again for giving me the opportunity to use and review this bag!

Thank you Gladly Family for allow some of our real moms to test your wonderful product!

Enter to Win Your Entire Registry

by Jenna Hatfield 1 Comment

Having a baby is a life-changing event. In preparation for your baby’s arrival, you create a registry to help your friends and family know what items you might need before your baby arrives. But what if your registry was fully purchased by someone? Wouldn’t that also be life-changing?

The feeding experts at Nanobébé think so! Our friends behind the beloved Flexy silicone bottle have launched a massive giveaway new parents and parents to be do not want to miss.

As a matter of fact, this is their third, “You Complete Me Giveaway.” They will foot the bill and purchase the entire registry for one lucky winner. Yep. The whole shebang! Everything from car seats to a crib to the stroller you can’t live without once your baby arrives. Absolutely everything. 

You Complete Me GIveaway

A win like this can truly be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a family planning on the arrival of a newborn. Getting ready for baby can feel daunting, financially and time-wise. Nanobébé wants to help alleviate some of that stress for a family with the You Complete Me Giveaway. They’re stepping into the gap and offering a gift that will truly keep giving over your baby’s lifetime. Think about it: If you register for a crib that transitions to a toddler bed which transitions to a full-sized bed headboard, Nanobébé is basically paying for your child’s bed for 18 years. How awesome is that?

What Goes on Your You Complete Me Giveaway Registry?

Things to consider registering for:

  • Diapers: Register for a variety of sizes!
  • Bottles: Our favorite Nanobébé Flexy Silicone bottles are easy to use, clean, and come with a newborn-ready nipple. Plus, the whole Nanobébé line is full of great breastfeeding must-haves, bottle feeding must-haves, and pacifiers!
  • A Stroller: Are you a jogger or need something a bit more compact?
  • A Car Seat: Think both about an infant seat and one for when they reach the toddler stage.

After that, check out some of our specific registry lists. We have lists for minimalists, eco-friendly picks, bath time, and more. Knowing what to put on your registry will help!

This is the third time Nanobébé has hosted this incredible pay-it-forward campaign. The winner from the first “You Complete Me” Giveaway, Holly from Colorado Springs, CO, was gifted with everything on her wish list to transition her youngest daughter (born a preemie at 32 weeks) from the NICU to the comfort of their home. “Winning the giveaway came at a time we needed support the most, and allowed us to focus on our little preemie rather than stressing about those things we didn’t yet have”, said Holly. “Nanobébé went above and beyond with all their support and love, and we can’t thank them enough!”

Real Mom Reviews: Gladly Family Merritt Portable Playard Suite

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

When Gladly Family set out to create the ultimate playard, simplicity was key. Safe for newborns – 50 lbs, this playard is perfect for your growing family. It folds in a flash and includes a changing station, great for long-term use. The included backpack storage makes travel a breeze, and everything is machine washable. Check out what some of our families (check here for current opportunities) had to say after testing the Merritt Playard with their littles.

Ankita

The portable playard is well made, it is sturdy yet the design is sleek and modern and easy to move. I have used it on a hardwood floor and carpeted floor and it works great with both. It does not skid on either of the surfaces. The weight limit on the playard is comparatively larger than many other products in the market which is a huge benefit as it could be used for a longer duration. The assembly is easy as well as the instruction manual is well explained. I love how well the changing station holds on the playard, absolutely perfect to have and saves space with its design. The mat on the changing table is waterproof for surprise moments while diaper changes. The mattress is very comfortable and sturdy, they have considered the needs of newborns and infants while designing it which provides the needed support to the baby. 

Love that the fabric is machine washable or it could also be easily cleaned with a wipe. The mesh provides great ventilation to the baby. It provides a safe play space to my baby while I work and watch him play. The diaper caddy is big enough to hold everything you will need. The best part is the fast, one-hand fold. Truly amazing. The color is gender neutral and perfect to go with the aesthetics of any decor and its backpack is great to store and carry along. We absolutely loved the product and highly recommend it.

As a two-under-two mom, having a portable playard that is versatile enough to work for both my newborn and my toddler is a must. I really liked knowing this playard works from birth to 50 pounds, so we can use it for a long time! I also quite often find myself only having one hand free, so many other portable products are too hard for me to assemble or disassemble on my own. With this playard, I can set up and tear down with literally one hand. Definitely great for moms that are on the go with multiple kids!

Jillian

We are pretty big fans of the Merrit Playard after testing it out. I was a bit skeptical when the package first arrived because it has “HEAVY” written all over it, It was pretty heavy when we brought it in, too. However, once we opened it up, we noticed the backpack carrying straps. We were no longer concerned because we knew it’d be easy to transport, and it was.

Setting it up was a breeze! Significantly easier than using a traditional pack and play, it basically popped into place. The clips for the bassinet take some coaxing to get on the top railing, but the bassinet is pretty stable and the changing table works great. I would recommend this over any other playard I’ve seen in the market.  My only complaint is that the accessory caddy is going to be challenging to keep organized as each section is pretty big, but with a small opening – however, that won’t deter me from using this!
