Diapering Station Must Have Items to Check Out

Whether you’re planning on disposable diapering or cloth diapering, we suggest you set up a “station” for easy-peasy changing and to store your essentials. Our Director of Education and Parent Training, Abby, has some of her top changing station must haves for you lined up below. This list will help save you time and money while putting together an area of your house that will be used time and time again.

Diapering Station Silicone Changing Pad

Nearly every parent receives this recommendation from Gugu Guru. Silicone changing pads have taken the market by storm the last few years and we know why! They are easy to clean, easy to use, and add a modern pop into your nursery. When your little ones makes a mess, simply wipe down the pad and you’re ready to go! There are many options on the market, but we like the silicone pads by Keekaroo, Skip Hop, and Hatch.

Diapering Station Storage – Ubbi Diaper Caddy
Sometimes referred to as a caddy, you will need somewhere to store all of your wipes, ointments, nail clippers, nasal bulbs, etc. When you’re trying to change a squirmy baby, it’s best if these items can be at your fingertips. We love Ubbi’s diaper caddy. It holds everything you need on top of your chaning station and can be easily moved around the house when needed. The carrying handle may not seem like much, but it’s worth it’s weight in gold when changing toddlers.

Diapering Station Changing Pad Liners – Boppy Changing Pad Liners
These liners are an excellent addition to your silicone changing pad. The Boppy Changing Pad Liners are a soft, terry cloth fabric that is waterproof and will protect your changing pad underneath. In the event of a blow out these liners can be easily tossed in the laundry and a new one can quickly be placed right on top of the changing pad. They also keep your little one a tad more cozy during chilly newborn diaper changes.

Diapering Station Hand Sanitizer – Babyganics Alcohol-Free Hand Sanitizer
Diaper changes can be a messy job but you might not be able to get to the sink to wash your hands right away when taking care of baby. This baby safe, plant based hand sanitizer keeps you germ free when you can’t get to the sink. The foaming, non-drying formula in the Babyganics Alcohol Free Foaming Hand Sanitizer is gentle on hands but tough on germs.

Diapering Station Distractions – Mouse Loves Pig Crinkle Toys
When discussing diaper station must haves with an experienced parent, they all say the same thing – you need a distraction! Changing a baby can go from simple to messy very quickly. They are always on the lookout for stimulation and you need something they can hold onto without it getting in the way. Crinkle Paper is always great for little hands, and we love this sweet design by Mouse Loves Pig.

Diapering Station Diaper Pail – Diaper Dekor Plus Diaper Pail
The Diaper Dekor Plus Diaper Pail is a totally hands free diaper pail that will ensure your nursery stays smelling sweet. This diaper pail comes ready to go, pre-filled with diaper liners. All you have to do to operate the Diaper Dekor is step on the foot pedal which opens the lid and the trap door and drop in the dirty diaper. Have a diaper that really makes a stink, but don’t want to take out the full bag? No worries! Diaper Dekor liners can be cut and retied at any point, meaning you will never waste a garbage bag. Plus, we love that the Diaper Dekor can be used for disposable or cloth diapering, meaning it is a perfect fit for any new parent in your life!

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.

Fatema

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!

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.

Christine

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!

Kudos to Kudos Diapers!

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

We are always on the search for great product lines at Gugu Guru. Especially products that parents use constantly. Ask any Mom what her favorite diaper is and it’s likely she’ll rattle off multiple brands. Some are great for newborns, some are a better fit for chunky thighs, and others are great for big bellies. Some are thick and soft, some are thin but surprisingly absorbent. Why can’t one diaper do it all?!

I think we’ve found one! Kudos Diapers are 100% plant-based cotton, helping little ones with sensitive skin stay rash-free. Great for eczema-prone skin, these fragrance-free diapers have no extra ‘yucks!’ They are absorbent, thick without being bulky, and fit well. Even their packaging is recyclable and sustainably sourced. Read below to see how moms from our Gugu Village feel about Kudos!

Sarah

I LOVE the feel of the Kudos diapers! They are made with cotton and you can tell in the softness. The side tabs also feel much sturdier and stretchy and would be very hard to pull off.

Our 9lb 7 week old wears NB in Huggies and the size 1 fit well, so definitely look at the size chart when ordering. These diapers are very absorbent without the risk of leaking inner material onto your baby if they get overly full.

Joanie

These diapers fit my baby so well! I’ve used them overnight (12 hours) and have no problems with leaks. I love that they are extra long in the front and back – hold in lots of liquid for my son overnight and also prevent blowouts in the back. The sizing runs slightly larger than the Huggies and Kirkland diapers that I normally use.

Some Major Pros:

-You can really feel the difference [in the fabric] when you’re comparing to Kirkland and Huggies. The material feels less plasticky and much more breathable.

-Knowing that I dispose of 6-10 diapers per day and they can take up to 500 years to decompose, I really wanted to find a good, eco-friendly diaper! The patterns

-Aesthetically, the patterns are absolutely adorable!

-I’ve tried so many diapers and I’m happy to find something that is so absorbent it works for 12+ hours with my son.

Jessica

I’ve tried a few different diaper brands, but I must say that these Kudos diapers are so soft compared to others. I like the fact the company uses plant-based materials to make the diapers. The waist band is extremely stretchy and they seemed to fit my little one very comfortably. Theses diapers are super absorbent and my little one did not have any leaks or blow outs while wearing them. I also like the different patterns and designs that comes on the diapers. On the other hand, I did notice the entire pack of white diapers I received contained small black specks on the inside of the diapers. I attempted to rub them off but they do not come off. Overall, the diapers are good. I had zero leaks and zero blow outs which is a win for me.

Zoe

I really like the idea of cotton diapers, so I was excited to try these diapers out. Upon receiving and testing them for the course of about 2 weeks, I thought the cotton felt nice and breathable on her skin for both daytime and overnight wear. Their absorbency was on par with other diaper brands we use. I felt good about the environmental implications of cotton vs other materials from other diapers. The prints were cute, fun and added some pizazz which I liked.

During the course of testing these, my baby’s weight ranged from about 8.5 to 9 pounds, so we tested out the size 1 diaper. I felt it fit pretty true to size for a size 1 contrary to being told they run small. She wears size 1 in Huggies and Pampers. I did feel that the elastic around her leg could be a little more taught in order to really “seal” around her legs. I also personally like when the Velcro tabs are not white (ex: Pampers has yellow tabs) or when there is an indication of front vs back so that it is easy to identify the front when changing diapers in limited light for night changes.

Annie

My kids have the most sensitive skin. We are constantly at the dermatologist trying new creams, ointments, etc. to keep their eczema at bay. I was excited to try the Kudos diapers as they 100% cotton, soft, and fragrance-free. I have often run into issues with other ‘clean’ diapers as they are stiff and rough against my littles skin. Not Kudos diapers! They felt a little thin when I first took them out of the packaging, but they easily kept leaks at bay. My toddler (20 months) was able to move around without any extra diaper bulk and didn’t have any issues with the absorbency. I loved that they didn’t take up as much space in the drawer, so I could fit the full pack in our dresser.

Thanks to Kudos for letting some of our moms test your great product!

The Scoop: Kudos Diaper Subscription

by Jenna Hatfield Leave a Comment

Today we’re bringing you The Scoop on the best new diapering solution for eco-conscious families. We get it. You want to protect your baby’s sensitive skin, the planet, and even your couch, but you only have so many hours in the day. Maybe you’ve toyed with cloth diapering, but it’s not the right fit for your incredibly busy schedule. You’ve also found that those natural, non-toxic diapers seem to struggle to stop leaks.

That’s where Kudos comes in!

Kudos offers the best of all worlds. These diapers step up to the plate in all the ways you want and need in 2021.

Protecting your baby’s skin

Kudos is the only disposable diaper to offer a 100% soft, breathable, hypoallergenic cotton top layer. Yes, the layer that touches your baby’s skin is made from the #1 doctor-recommended material to beat diaper rashes and eczema. You’ll feel better knowing that you’re protecting your little one’s bum without adding the extra stress of cloth diapering just to get that soft cotton next to their skin.

Protecting the Earth

Kudos cares for Mother Earth by creating their unique disposable diapers with 4 times more plant-based components than any other traditional disposable. By choosing Kudos, you’ll help the planet by using fewer plastics.

Protect from leaks

Kudos has a patent-pending DoubleDryTM design that you (and your clothing, couch, and car seat) will love. It features two absorption layers instead of just one, funneling wetness away from your baby’s bottom. This technology will keep your little one’s bum dry while helping prevent leaks, making this a two-for-one win for both parents and baby!

On top of these three outstanding points, Kudos offers a subscription service. For $78 a month, you can have these great diapers delivered right to your door. You’ll get anywhere from 126 to 216 diapers per monthly box. Diaper quantity is adjusted in each box based on diaper size because as babies grow, fewer are used each day.

The diapers are available in traditional white or a variety of cute designs that beat other diapers in the cuteness factor – from elephants to sign language and more. Even better, Kudos prints are specially designed to capture your baby’s attention and complement their developmental milestones. Use code GUGUVIP for an exclusive discount of 15% off your first diaper purchase.

We know that busy parents who want to protect their new addition and the Earth at the same time will love this diaper subscription. It would also make a great shower gift for an eco-conscious expectant family!

100% Hands-Free Dékor Diaper Pails

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

When you have small children, whether you use cloth diapers or disposables – you know that the cycle of diapers seems endless. While it is inevitable that you’ll be changing diapers around the clock, you can make things significantly easier and more convenient with the right diaper pail. Enter, Dékor Diaper Pails.

The Dékor Plus holds up to 60 newborn diapers, but one of the key features of Dékor Diaper Pails is their unique continuous liner system. There are no set bag sizes so you can quickly and easily empty the pail with no waste! Let’s be honest, ? stinks no matter what kind of container you put it in! With Dékor, you can quickly and easily empty your diaper pail more often to keep odors at bay. The built-in continuous liner allows you to empty it as needed, without wasting a full bag in a less-than-full pail. As you near the end of the continuous liner, black arrows will warn you it’s time to empty soon.

To empty, all you need to do is cut the refill liner with the child-safe cutter (that’s inside your pail) and tie a knot on the full bag, dispose of it and then tie a new knot and you have a new bag going. That’s it! You are done. There is no bending, twisting, or squishing the diapers down, but just step on the foot pedal, drop the soiled diaper through the trap door and you are done. Step. Drop. Done! You will find this especially helpful after a diaper change, when you have a baby in one arm, and a soiled diaper in the other.

The triple odor control feature keeps that unpleasant diaper smell from filling the room. The pail has rubber seals both under the trap door and under the lid, and the continuous liner deodorized the pail with a mild baby powder scent. Considering that you will change up to 9,000 disposable diapers for each of your children, before they are ready to be potty trained, this feature becomes important, to say the least!
This pail is also ideal for cloth diapering parents. Dékor offers a reusable and washable cloth diaper liner that makes using cloth diapers with Dékor even easier. It can be used over and over again, just like cloth diapers. The box holds two cloth diaper liners, one for the pail and one in the laundry.

The Dékor is completely secure with a childproof lock that keeps toddlers out and dirty diapers in. The pails are made with closed-cell ABS plastic that does not absorb odors, cracks, scratches, or dents. This diaper pail can last throughout the entire diaper phase, and beyond to your next child. You can sanitize and disinfect as needed without damaging the pail and when you’re out of the diapering years, it can be used as a regular trash can in a bathroom or anywhere in your home. You just pop out the diaper insert. This will give you a bigger opening, and the continuous liner will continue to be convenient.

Dékor offers three different sizes: Mini, Classic, and Plus, and now has Classic Gift Sets. The gift sets include a fully assembled diaper pail, plus over a year’s worth of refills! The sets are available in Plus or Classic and make the perfect gift for expectant parents.

When changing a diaper while half-asleep or clinging to a squirming, fussy baby, the last thing you want to do is fight with a diaper pail. The Dekor is hands-free and eliminates that struggle completely. Simply step, drop and you’re done. You can’t make changing diapers glamorous but with the Dékor Diaper Pails, you can make it a lot more convenient.

Thank you to Dékor for making this sponsored post possible.

Dékor Diaper Pail: The Sleek, Convertible Solution

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

If you’re new to the diaper pail world, here’s a little history: Diaper pails were typically tucked away in the far corner of babe’s room, because the stench was…what you’d expect it to be. Plus, they were big, bulky and involved a complicated removal process. Luckily, the Dékor Diaper Pail entered the market and changed all of that.

Designed as a hands-free diaper pail, you simply step on the foot pedal and drop your dirty diaper in. There’s no twisting or turning to secure the smell; the rubber seal and trap door seals the odors. Plus, the Dékor refills are one continuous liner, so you can empty as often as you’d like…without much effort. Just open the door, pull the liner down, cut it with the built-in babyproof cutter, tie and throw away.

On top of the amazing odor-containing features, simple design and convenient liners, we absolutely love the Dékor Diaper Pail’s sleek look. It can easily be added to any room in the house without disrupting the vibe—which is a total bonus—as we all know that impromptu changes occur everywhere.

Just when you didn’t think you could love a diaper pail anymore (when did we ever think we could actually love a diaper pail? #momlife), there’s a convertible factor that takes this one into the must-have category. When babe and you say goodbye to diapers—it does magically happen—the Dékor Diaper Pail converts into a trash can. This two-in-one, budget-friendly feature adds so much value to the already-awesome baby essential.

Speaking of value, the Dékor Diaper Pail is one of the most cost-effective diaper pails available. Its convertible design lets you keep it in your home for years. And, there’s one last notable fun fact to mention: It’s great for disposable or cloth diapers. So, whichever you choose, this mommy must-have can accommodate both.

Innovative, inclusive, simple and sleek—and priced really well—the Dékor Diaper Pail is our top pick for many reasons. Do you have one? Let us know what you think about it in the comments below!

Jazmyn Simon Hill’s Baby Top Picks: Part I

Solly Baby: “The softest, sweetest baby wrap. My favorite part about the newborn phase is baby carrying. Solly has made that easy with the softest, most beautiful fabrics.”
Toki Mats: “Tummy time essential. These make tummy time safer because they are NON-TOXIC. Can we all say thank you!!!!”
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:

Love to Dream Swaddles: “So smart. I didn’t know a lot about the Moro reflex and how it can startle your baby awake. These swaddles keep them safely snug and sleeping. Plus as they get older, you can release one or both arms. Love.”
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?”
Bebe Au Lait Swaddles: “Who doesn’t love a muslin swaddle blanket?! Great for home or on the go. Use it in your stroller or as a car seat blanket without overheating the precious cargo!!!!”
