The nanobébé Baby Bottle: Feeding Reinvented

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

SPONSORED

It can be tricky trying to figure out what baby bottles to add to your baby registry. There are endless options, and truth be told, it’s hard to know what baby will want before they get here! Whether it’s heading back to work, running daily errands with baby, daycare drop-off, or even a hiking adventure: modern parenting isn’t what it used to be, and finding the right bottle is more important than ever.

With this lifestyle in mind, nanobébé actually designed a baby bottle to fit your journey as a new parent. Their innovative, health-focused products are completely changing the baby feeding game by making nutritional feeding a breeze, without sacrificing style and convenience. Winning the coveted Parents Magazine Best for Baby 2020 Award and named “the smartest baby bottle ever made” by Business Insider, this bottle is topping new parent registries and must-haves. Read on to learn why we’re super fans of nanobébé’s products and why they’re the bottle everyone is talking about! 

The nanobébé bottle is actually the first and only baby bottle designed specifically for breastmilk. What makes the nanobébé baby bottle unique?

  • If you’re planning on pumping or heading back to work, nanobébé makes the process much easier. You can pump, store, warm, and feed all from the same bottle (an absolute game changer for nursing moms).
  • Its concave shape spreads breastmilk into a thin layer to safely warm and cool 2x faster than other bottles, which means your nutrients are protected, and those late night cries are subdued quickly.
  • Babies are drawn to the familiar mom-like shape, making it easy to pass off feeding duties to dad or other loved ones without causing nipple confusion. Many moms worry about ensuring their babies will take their breast milk while they are at work, and the nanobébé bottles are designed to not only help ease the transition between breast and bottle, but allows you to continue your breastfeeding journey both when you’re with and without baby.
  • They’re a huge space saver; the bottles are stackable for easy storage or travel. 

Our team here at Gugu Guru recently named the Nanobébé Newborn Gift Set our Top Recommended for Infant Feeding. As you’re creating your baby registry, we encourage you to take a look at their full range of award-winning products that are functional, stylish, and convenient. 2 different gift sets (Newborn and Starter) are perfect registry additions. The line includes everything a new parent needs from eye-catching bottles, baby loved pacifiers, breast milk storage bags, fashionable travel essentials, and much more. There’s a reason they’re often called “Apple of infant feeding”. 

Use Code MOM20 for 20% off all nanobébé products and free shipping! Head to nanobebe.com to shop now.

FYI: We’re also digging their brand new Duet Diaper Bag, which, not shockingly is innovative in design with a sleek and modern style. Check it out here.

Thank you to nanobébé for making this sponsored post possible.

Top Natural Baby Picks from a Fit Mama

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

Looking for natural baby products? You may have seen our last post with popular fitness influencer, Dasha Anderson (founder of Kettlebell Kickboxing) and her husband Dan where they talked about their favorite products for active parents! Dasha and Dan also love all-natural products that are safe for both Mom & Baby and below are some of their top baby picks.

Natural Baby Mattress Pick: Colgate Natural I Mattress: The Colgate Natural Mattress is our go-to mattress! Baby will rest easy on this all-natural hypoallergenic mattress with a certified organic cotton cover. We love that parents can rest easy knowing this mattress is GreenGuard Gold certified for zero harmful emissions and chemicals.

natural baby pick: Dr. Brown's Bottles

Natural Baby Feeding Pick: Dr. Brown’s Options+ Anti-Colic Wide-Neck Glass Bottles:

Say goodbye to colic with Dr. Brown’s bottles! This special system offers a flow that supports breastfeeding and decreases the frequency of spit-ups and gas. The amazing, soft silicone nipple will help breastfed babies latch naturally and is shown to preserve nutrients in both breastmilk and formula. Plus all of the bottle’s plastic parts are made of thermoplastic polypropylene and are BPA, PVC, Lead and Phthalate free.

Natural Baby Monitor Pick: Evoz Vision Wi-Fi Video Baby Monitor: We love the Evoz Monitor Camera for the sustainability factor! If you’re anything like us, you probably have a spare iPad or smartphone lying around your home. 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 Evoz camera connects directly to the free Evoz Baby app, allowing you to view your little one anytime with Wi-Fi, directly on your smartphone or tablet. As a special bonus, sleep help is built right into the Evoz Baby app with The Sleep Lady®!

Natural Baby Toy & Teether Pick: Mochi Toys Maraca, Teething Ring, Blocks, and Teething Plate: We love that Mochi Toys are both fun and functional! Mochi makes the most adorable toys that are not only cute but 100% safe for little ones to chew and drool all over. These teething soothers are made from rice and bring soothing textures to playtime.  

Natural Baby Skincare Pick: Matrescence Rose Glow Trio: With the combination of hydrating, protecting and revitalizing, the all natural Matrescence Rose Glow Trio is a must! This three-step skincare system nurtures the skin from bump to beyond, providing a high-performance skincare routine in a simple 3-step system that is safe for Mom AND Baby.

Natural Baby Stroller Pick: BOB Gear Revolution 3.0 Jogging Stroller: The BOB Jogging Stroller is a classic favorite! The amazing design of the stroller adapts to provide the smoothest and safest ride for baby while you run, jog, or even walk, on almost any terrain. It’s lightweight and the 2-step fold system that makes it easy to transport and take your little one along on your adventures out into the world. The cherry on top is that the manufacturers of the BOB stroller do not treat the strollers with any harmful chemical flame retardants.

Natural Baby Bedding Pick: Carousel Crib Sheets: The amazing Carousel Crib sheets are 100% organic and so lovely with their incredible softness and adorable designs that can be created to match any nursery. Carousel went the extra step and add extra deep pockets, which makes it easier to change sheets but also eliminates the fear of sheets slipping off in the night. Did we mention how absolutely soft these sheets are?!

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

We’re so excited about Jazmyn Simon Hill’s baby top picks and must-haves! Gugu Guru has recently had the pleasure of working with the lovely and beautiful actress and new mama Jazmyn Simon Hill. You may know Jazmyn from the TV-Series Ballers and the movies Acrimony and Ed. We are excited to have her on the blog today sharing some wise words on her baby must-haves. Jazmyn has rounded up her top picks for bath, health, diapering, baby gear, and sleep that have helped her as a new mom. You can follow Jazmyn and her pregnancy journey on Instagram. 

Jazmyn Simon Hill’s Baby Top Picks – Bath, Health, and Diapering:

  1. Boon Naked Tub: “I just love the design and simplicity of the boon tub. I love baby items that are simplistic. You may hear that from me a few times but it’s true!”
  2. Puj Tub: “The puj tub is great because as a full-time actress married to a full-time actor, we travel a lot- and the puj is perfect for when we need a tub that can be packed. And I mean, how cute is a baby in a sink!!!”
  3. Crane Humidifier: “I suffer from bad seasonal allergies and personally use a crane humidifier. So to keep babies room moist and comfy, I went with a trusted favorite, a Crane humidifier.”
  4. Fridababy Bundle: “Omg. I am obsessed with Frida Baby. When I went to my baby 101 class with my husband, the instructors would not stop raving about all their products. I’m especially excited about the Nose Frida and the Fridet. Hehe. They have baby and mommy covered.”
  5. Matimati Washcloths: “Two words: Eco. Friendly.”
  6. Diaper Dekor Plus: “I love that this can hold up to 60 diapers. Babies go through a LOT of diapers at first. And there’s no bending and twisting. Just step on the pedal and drop and go. Anything that saves time wins!”
  7. Skip Hop Pronto: “Let’s face it, there will be times when you have to improvise a diaper change. This skip hop pronto makes it easier!!!”
  8. b.box Caddy: “Again, sometimes…a lot of times… diaper changes happen on the go. This portable caddy makes diaper changes all around the house easier!”

  4. Toki Mats: “Tummy time essential. These make tummy time safer because they are NON-TOXIC. Can we all say thank you!!!!”
  5. Bannor Toys Blocks: “I cried when I received my banner name rattle and blocks.  It said Baby Hill and it made everything feel so real. Plus it’s made in the USA from wood. We now want every Nannie rattle and toy because they not only are so sleek looking- but they promote creativity and imagination. That’s exactly what we desire for our baby boy.”

Jazmyn Simon Hill’s Baby Top Picks – Sleep:

Jazmyn Simon Hill's Baby Top Picks - Love to Dream

  2. Snoo: “Can. We. Say. Game. Changer. Smartest bassinet ever. It will swaddle, sway and shush (white noise) your baby to sleep. It’s basically a night nurse for a lot less money. A dream saver. See what I did there?”

Newborn Must Haves for Active Families

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

Are you getting ready to welcome your little one? We were so thrilled to work with popular fitness influencer, Dasha Anderson (founder of Kettlebell Kickboxing) and her husband Dan as they prepared to welcome their first little lady! Fitness plays a big role in their household and we wanted to highlight that with our picks for this active couple. Below we teamed up with Dasha and Dan to look back on the past few months since welcoming Baby Ariana and highlight some of their favorite newborn essentials for active families.

Cybex Balios Stroller and Cybex Q Car Seat: Dasha has described this easy-to-use travel system as, “Sleek and comfortable! The car seat and stroller have been both hiking with me and strolling through New York City. The baby loves it and we feel stylish and secure in it. The safety features alone make this travel system a no brainer.” This travel system was an excellent choice for Dasha’s lifestyle both in and out of the city! Since Dasha lives just outside of NYC, weather can be a factor. We recommended she pair her stroller and car seat with the 7AM Enfant Poncho (great for the carrier or the stroller!) and Blanket 212 Evolution (also great for the stroller!) to help keep her little lady warm no matter what!

Joeyband

Joeyband by Sleepbelt: We love the Joeyband for new parents and Dasha’s family was no exception. When seated, the Joeyband offers hands-free support to baby, making those early days of skin-to-skin significantly easier. This was such an easy way to promote bonding between Dasha, her husband, and Baby Ari.

Fridababy Baby Basics Kit

Fridababy Baby Basics Kit: This kit is a must for any registry. The Nose Frida is now used in nearly every household with a newborn and the NailFrida makes nail clipping not so scary. The Cradle Cap brush will also help with those early baths. But the real must-have here is the Windi, which will help relieve baby’s gas in dire situations!

Diaper Dekor

Diaper Dekor: We loved this Diaper Pail for Dasha, because aesthetically it doesn’t scream “Dirty Diapers inside!” It does an excellent job keeping odors out of the room and comes in three sizes. It is completely hands-free, won’t dent or rust and can be converted to a regular trash can once you’re done with the diaper stage!

Love to Dream

Love to Dream Swaddle: Our favorite swaddles by Love to Dream allow baby to keep his/her hands up while still giving them that tight, womblike feeling. “Love to Dream Swaddles are the best because like most modern parents we spent some nights traveling to Grandmas or taking baby to our gym. The swaddle created a level of consistency no matter the crib or the setting!” These will help baby sleep well no matter where you are!

Belli Skincare

Belli Skincare Hello Glow Bundle: This bundle, which includes the Healthy Glow Facial Hydrator & Moisturizer and the Eye Brightening Cream is a favorite amongst our new moms. “Skin care is tricky when you have baby – you need the best products with the most natural ingredients. My skin was super dry and I had a hard time keeping up with my skin care routine. Belli made it easy! The consistency was great enough to have on all day and into night with no reapplication for a busy mom.”

4moms Breeze

4moms Breeze Playard: Having recently moved into a house and being a dog mom, Dasha needed somewhere that her little miss could play safely. “It is great to give your baby a safe and secure place in the home to move for tummy time or play time. It [also] really helps new moms actually run to the bathroom! Was anyone else scared to do this in the first few weeks?”

Baby K'tan Active

Baby K’tan Carrier: Since Dasha does so much work from home, we recommended the Baby K’tan carrier to use immediately after arriving home from the hospital. Also, we love the K’tan Active here for obvious reasons! “Baby K’tan was amazing for a working mom trying to get things done! It’s literally the only way I was able to type anything and the main reason I was caught up on my inbox. Plus the baby never felt like I was neglecting her.”

Crane Humidifier

Crane Humidifier: We love the Crane Humidifier for so many reasons! Dasha was due in February in New York, an extremely dry and cold time of year. To keep humidity up during the cold months, Dasha set up the Crane humidifier in the nursery. This is also super helpful when baby has his/her first cold, inevitable in the winter!

Stokke Tripp Trapp

Stokke Tripp Trapp w/ Newborn Seat: While it is an investment, this was Dasha’s top recommended product. “In all honesty, this was the BEST item on my list mainly because of the mileage we’ve put in this elegant chair. The newborn attachment allowed me to eat dinner, drink coffee, and answer email like a regular person – all while still being with my baby.”

Dasha is also the founder of Kettlebell Kickboxing and has created a series of fitness programs that are easy to complete at home with very little (or no!) equipment. Check them out today!

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

Please note that these opinions are 100% my own and I have not received any products in exchange for placement in What’s New on Gugu!

Our finds this week range from some eco-friendly/organic brands to the perfect childproofing tool for any home. Plus, one product that is not yet released, but so great that I couldn’t wait to share with all of you!  

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

Apple Park Organic Spring Collection: Apple Park creates high quality, organic baby products. Their product line ranging from gowns/pajamas to hats and plus animals is also the perfect baby gift! We love their new Spring Collection because it offers so many fun, bright prints in nearly every style imaginable! A great gift for that friend who loves organic clothes for their little one!

Door Monkey: As a parent of toddler twins, I often find myself saying ‘Watch your fingers!’ hundreds of times per day. However, once I discovered Door Monkey, I no longer had to stress about pinched fingers. It’s also the perfect childproof door lock to keep your little ones out. Installation is a breeze and tool-free, which makes the Door Monkey super useful for families who travel. A must-have for the babyproofing game!

Evenflo Pivot Xpore Stroller Wagon: A new find from the JPMA show, we love this affordable wagon/stroller, which is truly going to change the ‘stroller-wagon’ world. Complete with 2 canopies, all-terrain wheels, this stroller can change into a wagon with a quick flip of the handle. Although not on the market quite yet, this wagon will be launching in 2019!

4moms rockaRoo and mamaRoo: We LOVE the 4moms rockaRoo and mamaRoo at Gugu Guru. These swings mimic how a parent will rock their baby and give you a safe place to let baby lounge nearby. 4moms products are also at an angle, so great for babies with reflux. We also love the seat’s adjustable recline. However, I think the best part of 4moms’ products is how easy they are to put together. No need for any tools, simply click the parts together and you’re good to go! Perfect when you have a fussy baby who needs some movement ASAP!

Bannor Toys: Bannor Toys creates beautiful wooden toys, reminiscent of things you may have played with at your Grandparent’s house. They are made from beautiful natural wood (Cherry, Walnut, and Maple) which is not stained. Teethers are left ‘naked’ while other items are finished with organic paint, all natural beeswax and/or flaxseed oil. All silicone used is also food-grade and extremely high quality. Add Bannor Toys to your registry or pick up an extra-special gift for an eco-friendly mama-to-be.
