[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”] [et_pb_row admin_label=”row”] [et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”]

Warning: the images in this post may cause cuteness overload. 🙂

Welcome to Gugu Guru’s New Mom Series, where we provide helpful information for new and expecting moms about preparing and registering for baby. For this Safe Infant Bathing feature, we have partnered up with mama Krista Horton, 4moms, Little Giraffe, and Babyganics.

Tip: When your baby is brand new, most experts recommend that you stick with sponge baths for a few weeks, or at least until their umbilical cord stump falls off. Your newborn won’t need a sponge bath every day; two or three times per week is fine. This is because your little one can lose body heat very quickly. Using a warm washcloth (you don’t really even need soap for the early days), just give baby a quick once-over and then snuggle them in a cozy towel.

Krista Horton’s 3 month old daughter is ready to start bathing in an infant tub. The first step? Reading up on Bathtime Safety!

Baby Bathing Tips:

Collect all bathing materials before starting the bath.
Typically the water temperature for baby should be 90-100 degrees.
Never lift the tub or seat with baby in it.
No water should be in adult tub or sink.
Keep adult drain open when using baby tub.
Bath seats should only be used with child who can sit unassisted.
Ignore distractions – never leave your child unattended.

Based on her lifestyle and budget, Gugu Guru recommended the 4Moms Infant Tub, for Krista’s registry. The 4Moms Infant Tub, may be a Gugu Guru best match for you if: you live in a house (i.e., more space), your budget is “middle of the road” and you like a modern aesthetic .

In Krista’s words:
“This tub does all the dirty work for you. I love that it monitors the temperature for you and beeps if the water is too hot. I also love how it filters out the water during the bath so my baby could have warm, fresh water the entire bath!”

For baby’s personal care, Gugu Guru recommends Babyganics Baby-Safe Hero Essentials Gift Set. The set has a variety of essentials for bathing, including necessities like: Moisturizing Daily Lotion, Baby Bubble Bath, Foaming Baby Shampoo and Body Wash – all in a delicious Chamomile Verbena scent. Gugu Guru recommends Babyganics across all registries because of the brand’s affordability and totally responsible and safe formulations.

In Krista’s words:
“I love that the Babyganics products are natural and gentle for my baby’s delicate skin and the fresh, chamomile scent!”

For the bath towel, Gugu Guru recommended the softest and cutest towel to fit Krista’s budget and style — the Plush Hooded Baby Towel from Little Giraffe. Little Giraffe is known for its high-quality, super soft products and signature chenille textiles.

In Krista’s words:
“Cutest, softest little set! I love the material and the size was perfect because a lot of baby towels and washcloths are too small for my liking!”

Bathtime was completed with Babyganics’ Moisturizing Daily Lotion along with some kisses from mom. Squeaky clean…safely.

Featured in this week’s New Mom Series:

Krista: I am Krista Horton, 29 years old, married to my favorite guy and mama to Boston (2) and Kollyns (3 months). I am a stay at home mama and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I absolutely love being home with my babies and we love getting out and about and going on as many adventures as we can!

4moms: 4moms® is a consumer technology company that leverages robotics, technology and innovative design to disrupt and redefine existing industries. The company has transformed the baby gear industry with products like the 4moms origami®, the world’s only power-‐folding stroller; the 4moms mamaRoo® infant seat that replicates the bouncing and swaying motions parents make when soothing their babies; and the 4moms breeze® playard that opens or closes in one simple step.

Little Giraffe: Little Giraffe is known for creating top-of-the-line, luxury baby blankets and newborn essentials. All Little Giraffe products are made from the highest quality, softest textiles, and provide not only comfort, but soothe and calm baby for restful sleep.

Babyganics: When we started families of our own, we found we shared a “grown up” mission: to help parents like us create a baby-safe world. We’d do this by creating a world of products made to go wherever babies go (pretty much everywhere). Because exploring and discovering is a baby’s full time job. Our job—every parent’s job— is to make it safe for babies to do theirs. It’s the best way to make sure they fully develop and thrive.

Is there anything cuter than your infant coming out of the bath, sparkling clean and wrapped up all cozy in one of those adorable baby bath towels? We think not!

Baby Shark Bath Squirt Toy

We apologize for getting the song stuck in your head, but if your little one is already familiar with Baby Shark, they’ll love these little bath toys. But beware, once your little one gains control over their pincer grip, you may want to wear some waterproof clothing to bath time. It’s sure to be a splashy fun time for both of you.

Baby Bath Thermometer

This bath thermometer serves multiple uses. First of all, it will let you know if the bath water is the right temperature for your baby. You can set the temperature of your choosing and the thermometer will let you know whether it’s too hot or too cold. Additionally, you can use it as a room thermometer when you’re not in the bathtub! It also offers a clock and a timer. Lastly, your little one can play with this cute little hedgehog in the tub.

Baby Towels & Wash Cloths

Green Sprouts Organic Cotton Muslin Bath Towel & Wash Cloth Set

This set brings you four great wash cloths and a comfortable hooded towel to dry off with after tub time is over. The organic cotton muslin is on one side of the hooded towel with absorbent terry cloth on the other side to help your little one dry off and stay warm.

Burt’s Bees Baby Hooded Towels

If you’re still looking for organic cotton with a cute factor, this towel set from Burt’s Bees delivers. They offer everything from an adorable bee design to simple stripes to florals and more. These absorbent towels are designed to get softer with every wash, guaranteeing a soft touch on your baby’s sensitive skin.

Bamboo Baby Washcloths

Bamboo is a great fabric to use on your baby’s soft skin. This six pack of wash cloths offers you soft fabric to wash your baby in their next bath. They also come in a variety of colors.

Baby Bath Wash

Earth Mama Organics Sweet Orange Castile Baby Wash

We know you care about what you put on your baby’s skin, so we know you’ll love Earth Mama Organics Sweet Orange Castile Baby Wash for bath time. It’s cruelty free, safe, and smells great. The vanilla and orange scent will help relax your baby in the tub as you gentle clean their skin.

Baby Dove Sensitive Skin Care Baby Wash

Speaking of sensitive skin, no one does it better than Dove. This bath wash is unscented, a perfect option for those little ones requiring dye and scent-free things against their skin. To boot, this soap is tear-free, making bath time enjoyable in all ways.

Self-care and baby care all in the same kit!

Miscellaneous Bath Nice To Haves

There are some other products you may want to consider when putting together your bath necessities for baby. These aren’t quite must-haves, but will be very nice to have when cleaning your little one. A kneeler will help save your knees while you’re reaching over to scrub your babe. Your rinser is a must to help direct the water when getting rid of that sudsy shampoo. Lastly, your tub toys need somewhere to live! We love this frestanding storage with built in drain to keep your toys clean and mold-free!

When you have the right products, bath time can feel enjoyable for both mom and baby, setting you both upright for an enjoyable evening routine.

The 5 Best Baby Bathtubs

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Looking for the best baby bathtub for your little one? We’ve got you covered. Here’s a roundup of our top 5 baby bathtubs ready to get your little one squeaky clean.

Boon Naked 2-Position Collapsible Bathtub

The Boon Naked will grow with your little one from newborn to toddler. The collapsible design of this tub allows you to have a newborn in the recline position or accommodate your toddler to sit up and splash around. When bathtime is over, you can completely collapse the tub and store it flat or by hanging it to dry.

Lavelu Lounger

Our go-to recommendation for minimalist families, we love how easy the Lavelu Lounger is for those earliest bath days. Simply stick the lounger directly into your sink (it fit nearly every sink we tested) and baby will stay warm, cozy, and fully supported. Hang it to dry and upcycle to the tub as a bath pillow for mom when baby no longer needs.

Read more about the Lavelu Lounger here.

The First Years Sure Comfort Deluxe Tub

The First Years Newborn to Toddler Tub includes a mesh sling that provides better support for smaller babies. Once baby starts to get a little bigger they can go into the deep ergonomic tub directly and there is plenty of space for your baby up to 25 pounds to sit up and splash. The mesh sling is machine washable and the padded headrest is mildew resistant so you can feel good about how clean the First Years Newborn to Toddler tub will be whenever you need it.

Stokke Flexi Bath with Newborn Support

The Stokke Flexi Bath is BPA-free, lead-free, phthalate-free, PVC-free, latex-free, formaldehyde-free, and heavy metal-free. The Stokke Flexi Bath is a lightweight, foldable bath that when used with the Stokke Flexi Bath Newborn Support can be used from birth all the way to 4 years. The Flexi Bath has a unique fold that will allow you to store the tub flat or easily travel with it. Mom hack: It’s a great solution for baby at the beach!

Summer Infant Clean Rinse Bather

Looking for a way to keep baby close from day 1? Summer Infant’s Bather has you covered. Putting baby at the right angle from newborn to 20 pounds, you can use this counter top (13 lb weight capacity) to bathtub. Adjustable recline and easy cleaning make this a great budget friendly selection. Great for your little one who loves to kick and splash throughout tub time.

Gamechanger for Bathtime: Moms Love Bubbsi

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

Looking for a bath routine to top all others? We had five moms test out Bubbsi’s Newborn Starter Set with their little ones. Bubbsi is revolutionizing the bath game. Utilizing coconut oil, they have created a line of bath products safe for newborns battling a variety of skin concerns. Eczema, Diaper Rash, and Cradle Cap be warned, you are receiving your eviction notice! Keep your little one’s skin nourished this winter with Bubbsi.

Abby, 4 year old twins, 17 month old twins, Chicago IL

Having 4 kids with sensitive skin, I am always on the hunt for new skincare lines. Generally, we look for things that are fragrance-free (and sesame-free, thanks to allergies!), tear-free, and easy-to-follow. Some of the skincare lines I’ve tried with my kids have had up to 8 steps, making them nearly impossible to complete daily. Our pediatric dermatologist has always spoken about the benefits of coconut oil, but when I tried putting this on my kids directly, we all ended up greasy and miserable. Enter Bubbsi! The answer to our daily struggles! First off, the bottles are adorable! Quite honestly, they became a nice distraction for my babies during bathtime. Next, they are refillable. No more spending $$$ on new bottles every time you need a replacement, and with 4 kids, it’s often! Lastly, they work! My kids’ skin was nourished, moisturized, and the steps were easy enough for my 4-year-olds to follow without any help. I will definitely be recommending this to my friends!

Anya, 1 year old + 3 year old, Rhode Island

I was so excited to try Bubbsi. I’m always looking for all natural products for my girls. They have super sensitive skin and sometimes get eczema from food allergies and colder weather. I love the fact that Bubbsi is almost fully naturally derived and I don’t worry about putting that on their skin. Both my girls have full heads of hair and I have been looking to try a shampoo and conditioner. The shampoo really cleans well but left their hair a bit dry so you definitely need to use the conditioner with it. The conditioner left their hair super silky with no knots and made it easy to brush out. As for the cream I was shocked. My younger daughter has little spots of keratosis on her arms and they almost went completely away after only one use and the diaper cream left her super smooth and protected. So excited to find Bubbsi and will continue to purchase in the future!

Katherine, 5 year old + 10 month old, North Carolina

I was given the Bubbsi head-to-toe set to try. First off, the packaging was super cute. I love that the packing peanuts dissolve in water! What a great way to help the environment. The products all smell wonderful. It’s a light scent, so it isn’t overpowering at all. My son and I both love the squishy feel of the bottles. The shampoo/body wash, lotion, and balm are soothing to both mine and my baby’s sensitive skin. We also appreciate that it is peanut and tree nut allergy friendly!

Overall, I give it a 5 out of 5! We will definitely be Bubbsi customers for a long time!

Erica, 2 1/2 year old + 9 month old, San Diego CA

I received the Bubbsi product via Gugu Guru and was so excited to try it out. Upon opening the box the smell was wonderful. I tried the body wash and lotion with both of my boys, age 9 months and 2 ½ .

Packaging: Absolutely love the packaging, design, and colors. Both of my boys immediately took to playing with the packaging. With that, I also had to make sure they didn’t have anything without supervision ☺

Feedback: The biggest thing I noticed was due to the consistency of the product and because it is cream-based, the water in the bath got murky. It’s inevitable that my kids put bathwater in their mouths, but this time I was careful to make sure they didn’t. I ended the bath a bit early so I could drain the tub.

Although I LOVED the packaging, smell, and overall look I wasn’t a fan of the creaminess and the residue it left in the tub. The lotion was great, but I found the small was just a bit too much for my kids and I used it on myself.

Thank you to Bubbsi for letting our moms test their products!

Books and Bedtime for Baby

by Jenna Hatfield Leave a Comment

You’ve spent the day engaging your little one in play, feeding him, and attending to his needs. Now it’s time to wind down and get ready for bed. Creating a routine with a bath, a comfy sleeper and reading provides you both with lasting memories and soothing moments. But where to start?

We’ve got you covered with a list of books and some other great sleep routine options.

Bedtime Books for Baby

Workman Publishing – Bedtime Board Books Set by Sandra Boynton – $23.85

No bedtime books for babies list would be complete without at least one pick from Sandra Boynton. Why not three? Dinosnores, Jungle Night, and Pajama Time will delight your little one for years to come. As your baby becomes a toddler, you can sing, “Jama, jama, jama, PJ,” as they work on dressing themselves in their pajamas. For now, you can create a soothing but fun routine that will help lull your little one to sleep. You may also want to grab our other three-pack of Boynton books solely for Snuggle Puppy, because what says bedtime more than snuggling?

Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown – $14.99

Goodnight Moon is a children’s classic for a reason: Children and parents alike have loved it for years. The rhythm of the words combined with the illustrations will soothe your baby. The book also grows with your little one as you can ask them to say goodnight to things in their room. You can start that with them as babies by pointing out things after you read the book together. It will become a beloved routine for years to come.

The Goodnight Train by June Sobel and Laura Huliska-Beith – $7.99

The Goodnight Train features illustrations and beautiful word imagery that will please both you and baby. You could look at all of the artwork on each page for endless hours. Your little one will enjoy the words and sounds as you create your own rock-a, rock-a rhythm.

Goodnight, I Love You by Caroline Jayne Church – $7.99

Goodnight, I Love You falls on the shorter side of bedtime storybooks—which you sometimes need! Maybe your little one is five seconds from falling asleep, but you don’t want to fall out of your beloved routine. Maybe you have some work to get done after bedtime. Whatever the case, this short book about bedtime routines and love fits in as a last read in a longer routine or a quick pre-nap read. Either way, you’ll both love it.

Llama Llama Nighty-Night by Anna Dewdney – $7.99

Last but not least, Llama Llama Nighty-Night might be the perfect introduction into the world of Llama Llama for your little llama. It focuses on bedtime routine offering a great way to teach your little listener about the steps to get ready for bed. Add in a stuffed llama from Melange Collection and you’ll be sending yours off to dreamland with ease.

Bedtime Routine Helpers

Earth Mama Organics Calming Lavender Baby Lotion ($18.99) and Body Wash ($9.99)

If you’re using an evening bath as part of your baby’s routine, you’ll want to check out Earth Mama Organics. Lather and massage the Calming Lavender Castile Baby Wash into their skin during bath time. After bath, use the Calming Lavender Baby Lotion to relax your little one, adding in some Baby Face nose & cheek balm for any dry skin spots. Your baby will associate these steps with relaxation and winding down for the night. Then you can get dressed in something comfy (that’s next!), read, and head to bed with ease.

Love to Dream Swaddle UP – $29.95

As for bedtime clothing that’s comfortable for baby, you’ll want to get a Love to Dream Swaddle UP. This is not a typical, conventional swaddle. It does not keep baby’s arms down along the side or crossed over the chest, as with traditional swaddling. Instead, it has “wings”, allowing baby to sleep in a more natural Arms UP position. The snug fit and Arms UP positioning help relax baby’s startle reflex, and encourages babies to self-soothe by giving them this access to their hands. Self-soothing means more sleep.

Mookabee Baby Swaddle Bundle – $52.99

Some babies might prefer a slightly more fitted swaddle. Go with the Mookabee Baby Swaddle if that’s the case. It will keep your little one snug and secure while also offering zippered access for night time diaper changes. That’s a game changer!

When you read these baby bedtime books and employ a routine with your little one, you should both enjoy your evening time together.

Newborn Bath Newcomer – Lavelu Lounger

by Gugu Guru 1 Comment

There is a newborn bath newcomer in town that we want to tell you about – the Lavelu Lounger. If you have a newborn or a little one on the way, you should definitely check out this newborn bath sink insert. The Lavelu Lounger is an innovative super comfy, ergonomic infant lounger to use in your sink*. It is a universal cushion, which means it is constructed in a flexible and form-fitting design that will be comfortable for baby in almost all kitchen and bathroom sink types. The Lavelu Lounger ensures both a safe and enjoyable newborn bathing experience for your little one.

So why are we loving the Lavelu Lounger? Did you know that some babies hate bath time? This is sometimes because the baby is cold or just plain uncomfortable on the insert. Parents love that the Lavelu lounger is not a stiff, hard sink insert like the other products out there. The mom-invented Lavelu Lounger is the only universal, fully supportive, baby sink bath insert designed to conform to your baby’s body shape, providing ultimate head and neck support in any sink. It will really fit in any sink type – square, round, kitchen or bathroom sink; RV, camper, home or hotel, you can take the Lounger with you wherever you go!

The Lavelu is also a unique newborn bath cushion because it is waterproof. Made with unique (and extra soft!) material, the sink bath Lounger is designed to dry quickly and efficiently by simply hanging from your shower rod or towel rack. Many other sink inserts that we have tried out don’t offer this same ease of cleaning – not the Lavelu Lounger! Simply use it, drain it, squeeze it, hang it!

**It’s important to note that the Lavelu is NOT
intended to be used in anything but a sink.**

By the way, the Lavelu lounger comes with a satisfaction guarantee! We think that Lavelu would make an awesome baby shower gift, especially when paired up with some comfy towels and safe baby skincare.

Check it out: we also feature the Lavelu Lounger in our post about family RV travel with an infant because it is the ultimate sink insert when you’re hitting the road.

What’s New on Gugu: March 20, 2019

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

This week I’m focusing on brands that I adore. Some of these products are new to market while others are new for the season. For loads of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page! (Also, these opinions are 100% my own and I have not received any products in exchange for placement in What’s New on Gugu!)

Joeyband: Immediately after giving birth, you will be encouraged to have skin-to-skin time as much as possible. While this is so beneficial to both parents and baby, the Joeyband makes it even more convenient! Perfect for in-hospital use, the Joeyband will help parents manage this bonding period while preventing infant falls. Also exceptional for use after a C-Section to allow healing mothers to easily keep baby close during recovery.

Babo Botanicals: Having two boys with severe eczema, I have tried pretty much every fragrance-free product on the market. Babo Botanicals offers an extremely wide range of skin care options for my kids. From sunscreen to diaper cream, cleansing wipes to shampoo, they have a natural product for every member of your family!

Copper Pearl Spring Patterns: Copper Pearl does it again with yet another round of adorable burp cloths and bibdanas. Giving us adorable Spring vibes, new patterns – Sassy, Holly, Morgan, Alta (and others!) are a perfect warm weather addition to any family’s garden. Plus they hold up well after multiple washes and act as the perfect accessory to any outfit!

Kindred Bravely Louisa Leggings: While most of Kindred Bravely’s product line is at the top of our favorites, we hadn’t seen their leggings in person until a few weeks ago. We were blown away! They are stretchy, comfortable, and extremely high-quality. Plus, they are a thick enough material and won’t thin out like so many other maternity/postpartum leggings. A true must have for your maternity wardrobe!

Skip Hop Play to Night Expanding Travel Crib: An excellent solution to traveling with your little one! We love this new travel crib from Skip Hop, which starts as a cozy sleep environment and expands to a much larger play space for baby or toddler. Equipped with a travel bag, this is the perfect item to take with while visiting family or friends!

Staying Cool with Ubbi’s Bath Toys

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

-Sponsored Post-

In the hottest days of summer, sometimes the only way to cool off is by jumping in the bathtub, right? Since your little ones need bathes year round, however, it’s imperative to find bath toys which not only will hold up and stay clean, but that your little ones love, too. We are excited to tell you all about Ubbi’s variety of bath toys today, especially about their one-of-a-kind structure.

Squeeze ‘n Switch Bath Toys: Ubbi’s Squeeze ‘n Switch Bath Toys are perfectly sized for those little hands to squeeze and squirt; to open, fill, close and pour; and to mix and match! These colorful and soft sea critters promise unlimited fun squirting outside of the water and bubbling under the water. Twist them open and close for easy cleaning to eliminate potential risk of mold development. These are PVC, BPA and Phthalate free; you can even wash them in your regular dishwasher!

Stack & Splash Bath Toys: Ubbi’s Stack and Splash Bath Toys are designed to enhance creative and imaginative play in the bathtub. Let them splash, float, fill and pour with their new bath time friends. The fun never stops with these colorful shark and dolphin cups, which even stack together for easy storage when bath time ends. These are PVC, BPA and Phthalate free, dishwasher safe, and can even be used outside, or for regular play, too.

Bathe ‘n Switch Bath Toys: Ubbi’s Bathe ‘n Switch Bath Toys are cute creatures designed to ignite your child’s imagination and promote development of hand-eye coordination. Switch up the body and head of the toy and make your own underwater animals with these easy to fit snap pieces. Children can fill, pour, mix, match and pretend with all four soft and colorful sea critters eager to splash and have a fun-filled adventure. As always, these are PVC, BPA and Phthalate free and dishwasher safe.

Bath Toy Draining Bin: With all of these wonderfully fun bath toys, you’re going to need a place to store them! The Bath Toy Draining Bin is designed with ingenuity in mind. This free standing bin allows you to conveniently contain bath toy clutter. Simply scoop the toys out of the tub using the whimsical handles, and place the bin on its base. The large holes in the bin allow for fast drying, and the base collects excess water that can be poured out later. Easy to use and wash, this drying bin makes bath time clean up a breeze.

Thank you to Ubbi for making this sponsored post possible.
