Breastfeeding Mom Must Have: MilkBliss Lactation Cookies

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

They say mother is the necessity of invention, and that’s never been more true than when it comes to breastfeeding must-haves. When it comes to breastfeeding, moms are always looking for ways to increase their breastmilk supply, so what if you could increase your supply while also having a delicious and healthy snack? You can! We’re so excited to introduce you to MilkBliss Lactation cookies.

MilkBliss is owned by two moms who struggled with producing enough breastmilk and solved the problem by creating these products. As they say, “When I became a mother I was excited about breastfeeding. After struggling to produce enough milk to feed my baby I began seeking ways to naturally boost my milk supply. I tried many products on the market with no luck before deciding to make my own. My recipe was not only effective, but delicious!” And now, you can enjoy MilkBliss cookies from the comfort of your home. In fact, MilkBliss recommends enjoying lactation cookies from 36 weeks pregnant as they can help boost your colostrum. They can be consumed the entire time a woman is breastfeeding and anytime otherwise! They are safe for the whole family. Yum!

MilkBliss cookies are unique in that they are produced in small batches and feature products created with ancient ingredients widely known for helping a breastfeeding mom increase her milk supply. The ingredients MilkBliss uses in all of their products that make them effective are: Organic whole rolled oats, organic flaxseed meal, and GMO free brewers yeast. These ingredients have widely been recognized as galactagogues and have been used for hundreds of years all over the world as a way to boost a breastfeeding mothers milk supply.

Although MilkBliss is a small women-owned business, they do not “cut corners” when it comes to ingredients. MilkBliss sources the highest quality ingredients because they feel taste is the most important component. MilkBliss believes breastfeeding moms deserve a special treat that will not only help increase their breastmilk supply, but will also be delicious and something to look forward to each day. With three delicious flavors, oatmeal chocolate chip, oatmeal blueberry, and oatmeal peanut butter chip, we know you will find a flavor (or two…or three…) you will make again and again. This is also a fantastic baby shower gift or a special treat for a long-distance mama friend. So, what flavor will you try?

Stamp My Feet: The Keepsake that Lasts

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

We recently stumbled upon Stamp My Feet, a women-owned/grandma-owned business based in the Pacific NW. Stamp My Feet creates custom, beautiful, and stress-proof nursery keepsakes. We are pretty much obsessed with these kits. Just check out their Instagram feed and we know you’ll agree!

Stamp My Feet’s stamp kits contain a stylish gallery-wrapped canvas, letter and number stamps for personalization, and non-toxic ink. The canvases are erasable until sealed so you can get it just right, because wiggly baby feet and hands are inevitable. The kits even include a ribbon so you can hang your finished canvas on the nursery wall as soon as it’s dry!

Stamp My Feet says: Just ink your child’s hand or foot, stamp the canvas, and use the included stamps to personalize your little one’s name and birthdate. The stamps are clear so you can see exactly where you’re placing them. Easy-peasy, right? If you make a mistake or your baby wiggles and things get smudged, don’t stress, you can easily wipe off the entire print with a damp cloth or just touch it up with a cotton swab. It will be dry within 2-24 hours!

While Stamp My Feet kits are ideal for capturing a newborn’s footprints, they are also great for handprints at milestones like a first birthday or even the first day of kindergarten! They are available in a variety of styles; so there’s a kit to suit any kind of event and every kind of décor, from minimalist to traditional.

This gift is especially perfect for any new or expectant parent. No guessing on size, gender, or wondering if they already have it — you’re all set! Order your kit here.

Claire Holt’s Motherhood Must-Haves

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

We are so excited to have teamed up with Claire Holt again to highlight her favorite products now that her little guy has turned one! In the blink of an eye, her cutie has gone from infancy to rolling over, then eating and is now on the move! Here are some of Claire’s top must-haves that have helped her throughout her first year and beyond as a new mom! Plus, we love Claire’s social media posts about motherhood, especially as she gets ready to welcome baby #2– be sure to follow her on Instagram!

Fourth Trimester Must-Haves

Baby K’tan: I really loved using this wrap when James was a newborn. He instantly calmed when I wore him and it allowed me to actually get things done! It was so easy to put on (which was very important to me as I struggled with some of the other ‘rubix cube’ wraps), and I was able to pop it in the washing machine to keep it clean. Highly recommend!

Magnetic Me Onesies: These are a MUST!!! We tried many different types of onesies and these are the clear winners. They are so easy to snap, which is crucial for middle of the night changing and bath time fussiness. I love love love love this brand.

aden + anais Swaddles/Blankets: SO beautiful, soft, and very high quality. We really love these and they make great gifts!

Diaper Dékor Plus: The best part about this pail is how easy it is to empty. You simply cut the continuous liner on the side of the pail, tie a knot, and you’re good to go. It’s handsfree and really effective at trapping odors.

Travel Must-Haves

Doona Car Seat/Stroller: This is my absolute favorite baby product. We traveled with James from a very young age and this car seat/stroller made our lives so much easier. It’s lightweight, durable, very comfortable, and switches easily between the two modes. My only wish is that it came in a bigger size, as James grew out of it by 6 months. This is a MUST HAVE if you plan on traveling or just want to save a little space in your home!

Hatch Baby Sound Machine: Awesome product for home or on-the-go. It has such a wide variety of sound options and also works as a night light. We travel with it everywhere – it really helps to keep him in a deep sleep

4moms Breeze Playard: Really great for travel – so easy to set up and pack away. The mattress is super comfortable. We use this for sleep and for playtime.

Skip Hop Pronto Portable Changer: Really great for those times when you don’t want to lug around a large diaper bag. I found it very useful when I had to change him in places with limited space (like a plane bathroom!).

Ergobaby Omni 360 Carrier– I really love this carrier! It’s so easy to use and James loves facing both inward and outward. It was invaluable on my recent trip to Australia – I walked up and down the plane aisle wearing him for many hours. It saved my back and my sanity. While I love the Baby K’tan for newborns, this worked better for me once James got a little bigger.

On-The-Go Must-Haves

Nuna Pipa: We brought James home from this hospital in this car seat and I used this when we weren’t traveling until he was around 6 months old. The Nuna Pipa is a great design and James always seemed very comfortable in it. Safety is obviously the main priority and I always felt confident that he was safe and secure.

Peg Perego Primo Viaggio Convertible Car Seat– Obsessed with this seat. Now that James is bigger he is much more comfortable in this style. It’s beautifully made, very secure, and easy to clean. Huge fan.

Artipoppe Carrier: Another of my favorite carriers. This carrier is SO gorgeous. The quality is incredible, the patterns are really unique, and when I’m wearing it, strangers always ask about it!

Silver Cross Jet: LOVE this travel stroller. It’s so simple to fold, becomes incredibly compact, and most importantly is super comfortable. It also looks really stylish. James even prefers this stroller over the larger version. So glad silver cross released this model!

Sleep Must-Haves

Colgate Natural I Crib Mattress: Love that this mattress is eco-friendly and all natural. It’s hypoallergenic, very safe, and very comfortable.

Magic Merlin Sleepsuit: This suit was really helpful when we transitioned James from the swaddle. He slept really well and most importantly was safe in his crib. We didn’t use it for long but it was a very valuable tool when we needed it.

Crane Humidifer: We use this in the winter months. I like that it dispenses a cool mist making it safe for infants. The design is stylish and it’s easy to use.

Breathable Crib Liners: This liner stops James from getting his arms and legs caught in the crib bars. Love that it doesn’t restrict airflow and is a safer alternative to crib bumpers.

Playtime Must-Haves

4moms mamaRoo4: An excellent infant seat option starting right at the newborn stage. This seat has multiple movement patterns and is a great way to keep baby calm during playtime!

Monti Kids: I am a huge fan of Montessori and love that this is an age-appropriate subscription service. The wooden toys are beautifully made and specifically designed for development. The subscription provides parents/caregivers with access to the Monti Kids Learning Centre, which gives instructions and shares research. I did have an issue with the Level 1 mobile. I couldn’t collapse it and took up a large amount of space. Upon checking their website, it seems that they’ve addressed this and the new mobile is adjustable! All of the other toys are really great.

Toki Play Mat: Really great for newborns, it’s made of very soft organic material and has a machine washable cover. It’s portable and comes in lots of great prints.

People Toy Company- Mochi blocks: James is obsessed with these toys! I love that they’re free of harmful chemicals and made from rice – makes me feel better when they spend most of the time in his mouth!

DockATot: The DockATot does an amazing job at keeping the baby cozy. Great for supervised lounging and playtime. Plus it is super portable.

Feeding Must-Haves

Comotomo Bottles: These bottles are the best! We tried glass at first, but they were heavy and I was always worried about dropping them. I love that the Comotomo is made of food-grade silicone, easy to clean, and the nipple mound is quite large, which resembles a breast. By far James’ favorite type of bottle.

Boon Lawn Drying Rack: Large, easy to clean, and keeps the bottles in place as they dry. It seems very simple but I tried a number of different racks and this was the best.

Inglesina Fast Table chair: This is so great for travel! He does much better in this than a traditional restaurant high chair. Easy to clean and very comfortable.

Wabi Baby UV Sterilizer: Another of my must-have items. Great design, highly effective, and easy to use. Sterilizes and dries toys and bottles very quickly. We love it so much that despite the size, we packed it in the back of the car and brought it on vacation with us. (Side note – the Wabi Baby UV Sterilizer is currently

Beaba Babycook: We make our own organic food for James when we can (it’s a little more difficult when traveling), and this product makes it very easy. It steams AND purees the food, which means less equipment and fewer dishes! We have transitioned to more textures so don’t use the puree function as much anymore, but we still use it to steam fruits/veggies.

Clothing Must-Haves

Saint Haven Clothing: I am in love with these clothes. They are so soft yet incredibly durable. James lives in the one-pieces.

Little Crowns NYC Hats: The most adorable little hats. Super stylish and adjustable as they grow. Most importantly, he never tries to rip them off!

Thank you SO much to Claire for all of her insight and photos of her little guy and his favorite items.

Must Have Essentials: Fisher-Price Baby Gear

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

We know that it can seem overwhelming to register for everything you may need for a baby; so, we’ve broken all the necessities down into your Top Must Have Essentials for every category you may need. Today we’re covering the Top Must Have Essentials from Fisher-Price!

1. Rainforest Jumperoo: The Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo is a must-loved item on the Gugu Guru team and fantastically interactive for baby, as well. Everywhere baby looks, (in the spinning seat, baby can see all around), there’s something fun to do. Busy toys, including a bobble elephant and swinging monkey, captivate baby’s attention and keep them entertained. Folds for easy storage and portability.

2. Kick and Play Piano Gym: With four ways to play, this musical toy grows with your little one! From laying and playing, to tummy time and sitting up, busy activities at each stage are just the beginning of the fun. Baby’s in charge of the action as her little kicky feet activate music. Moveable toys overhead encourage batting and grasping, including a hippo teether, elephant clackers, rollerball frog and more. When it’s time to change modes, move the arch down for tummy time or let baby sit up and entertain you with a piano concert. Remove the piano and take the fun on-the-go. Includes long and short play modes with up to 15 minutes of music. This is also a great way for older siblings to interact with the new baby!

3. On-The-Go Baby Dome: We love this baby domefrom Fisher-Price for so many reasons! It essentially has two functions – a play space and a comfy napping spot, perfect for when you and baby are on the go! This is ideal for families who love to travel, as it folds up flat and can be stored under a hotel bed or in the back of a car. However, this is also an ideal piece of baby gear for small-space living, as you can easily move it around the house and it folds up when not in use. Plus, we love the modern look of it!

Also seen in: Budget Baby Registry; Minimalist Baby Registry

4. Baby’s Bouncer: A must have for all busy parents! The Fisher-Price® Baby’s Bouncer gently bounces along to your little one’s natural movements and features calming vibrations at the touch of a button. When your baby’s in the mood to play, the overhead toy bar with three animal friends offers plenty of bat-at fun!

The Ultimate Target Baby Registry

by Gugu Guru 3 Comments

Today we are bringing you the ultimate Target baby registry. We searched Target for our favorite baby products and collected them for you. The best part of the Target baby registry is the fabulous welcome kit full of goodies for mom and baby that you can pick up at Target Guest Services when you create a registry in-store or online. Target also has an awesome 15% completion discount on everything left on your registry (the only kicker is it’s only good until eight weeks before baby’s expected arrival).

Let’s start with the nursery. Likely a room you will be spending a lot of time in as baby grows, it’s important to make sure this is a functional, comfortable place.

Next up is feeding. Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping, or a combination of the 3, Target has what you need.

We love to keep it simple for Health & Wellness: a bath tub, bathing essentials, a grooming kit, and simple diaper needs.

Baby Gear is a category that is worth the splurge! These items will help you manage the chaos of life with a newborn, making life simpler and easier.

Clothing is the most fun baby product category and one of our favorites! Target is full of amazing options to fit every stage of babyhood.

So many options for baby Play, it can be hard to narrow it down. We picked some of our favorites, but Target has many more great baby toys.

We can’t forget about the Parents! Target has your needs covered too!

In the baby world, there are many “nice to have” items that aren’t a necessity but can make your life easier. These are some of our favs.

Did we miss anything? What are your favorite registry items from Target? Let us know!

Zodiac Baby Gifts – 4 Unique Choices

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

If you want to buy a zodiac baby gift for yourself or another parent, we’re pleased to inform you that the stars have aligned! A gift should be something that speaks to the child’s personality so he or she can relate to it and enjoy it for years to come. Using astrology to pick out baby gifts is a genius way to go because a person’s zodiac sign can say volumes about who they are (if you’re a believer, that is.) Since the great Carl Sagan said we are all made of star stuff, the zodiac sign can help you narrow down the choices and get something fun and personalized.

These unique zodiac baby gifts are not specific to one star sign and many can be personalized.

1. Personalized Horoscope Constellation Minky Baby Blanket
If you are buying a gift for a newborn baby, this Personalized Horoscope Constellation Minky Baby Blanket in black and gold is perfect. The blanket is made of fleece, microfiber, polyester, satin or Minky. It has a light soft texture which means your baby will love to snuggle up to it. When you are ordering the blanket, you can specify what star sign you want and the preferred fabric. If you’d like, have the seller add the baby’s name too so it can have that extra personal touch.

2. Your Star Map AKA The Night Sky
If a totally personalized zodiac baby gift is what you are looking for, this star map will blow your mind. The 50cm by 70cm star map printed on fine Art Matte paper captures the stars that mean something to you. For instance, if the baby was born in January, the star map will be designed to capture that date. This gift is incredibly sentimental and also sophisticated – you can hang it in the baby’s room or really anywhere around the home.

3. Milestone zodiac cards
Whether it’s Christmas or it’s a birthday, a zodiac poster is a great gift. These milestone zodiac posters have the sign on the front side and three characteristics of the baby’s zodiac sign. It also has room to write the baby’s story on the back and a hanging sticker so you can hang it in the nursery.

4. The CELESTIAL Baby Book
Life is all about making memories especially when a baby is small. The CELESTIAL Baby Book gives you a place to store all the big life events in your child’s life. The zodiac-sign specific book has many pages for you to fill with memories and pictures.

Buying a zodiac baby gift shows that you put some thought into it. You did not just walk into a store and pick the fluffiest thing you see. As the baby grows and starts to manifest some of the characteristics your gift represents, you will be glad you were part of making that happen.

A Modern Online Photo Album: Tinybeans

by Christine Swearingen Leave a Comment

A modern online photo album, Tinybeans, is a must-have for new parents, especially those living long distances from family. As a military family based in Alaska, having the first grandchild on both sides of our families, we wanted a way to remain connected with family and allow them to see our baby girl growing up and capture all her big “firsts”. Enter Tinybeans! We’ve loved using Tinybeans online photo album to document and showcase her first year of life. The weekly flashbacks receive bring on the happy, proud mama tears every week!

We paid for the premium membership because we wanted to be able to upload videos longer than one minute and keep some memories private for just the three of us! It has been worth every penny!

Another feature we love of this online photo album is the ability to build and purchase a photobook through the Tinybeans website. Though we haven’t ordered it yet, we’ve started compiling and editing our book and we love the ease of doing so. We plan to purchase a photobook using the pictures we collected over the past year.

What our family members have to say about Tinybeans online photo album:

Dada: “It’s very user-friendly and is a fun and easy way to keep your loved ones updated.“

Grammy: “It’s the first thing I check when I wake up every morning. We enjoy the pictures and videos and feel connected across the miles.”

Grandpa: “It gave us an opportunity to see how much she changed from week to week. Love being able to go to one place to show off the granddaughter. I always look forward to mornings and check out Tinybeans first thing to start the day!“

Aunt: “It’s nice to be able to see my niece grow and witness some of the special moments when I couldn’t be there in person. It’s neat to be able to look back at when she was little with their flashbacks.”

Nan: “I look at old photos often. I’ll just page through month after month when I miss her. I also think Tinybeans online photo album is a good way for you to get pictures to family members that you may not normally text pictures to.”

Aunt: “It’s a nice organized way for us all to see her growing up.”

Aunt: “I enjoy being able to feel a part of her growing up even though we are so far away.“

Practical and Adorable Holiday Baby Gifts

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Let’s face it, holiday gifts for babies are mostly just fun for the grown-ups to pick out, because, well, babies don’t fully understand the holidays yet. This is why we always love giving gifts that are both practical and adorable when it comes to baby’s first gifts for the holidays. We rounded up our top picks for holiday baby gifts for any baby in your life. These would also make fantastic baby shower gifts!

MAM Baby Brush: Toothbrushes are a fantastic stocking stuffer, and baby doesn’t need to be left out this year; we’re excited to introduce you to the toothbrush for babies from MAM. Babies can start to learn to brush their teeth as early as 6 months old, and these brushes are a wonderful way to begin the toothbrushing journey with your little one. This BPA free toothbrush has bristles that are extra soft and rounded to remove plaque and bacteria from their little growing teeth. And, the handle is short and compact for small hands with non-slip material and ergonomic shape for a sure hold, even for little hands. Developed with dentists, the smart MAM oral care products ensure that babies get used to regular oral hygiene step by step. Coming in a few cute colors, these MAM Baby Brushes are a must have holiday baby gift pick this holiday season.

Bibito Baby Bib: Along the lines of a functional and stylish baby gift, we love the Bibito Bibs for babies for so many reasons. Featuring a outfit-saving food catcher and waterproof surface, the Bibito silicone bib makes mealtime less messy and more fun. They’re made of lightweight, flexible, stain-resistant, eco-friendly, food-grade silicone, and they are very easy to clean, even on-the-go. They’re also adjustable to fit infants and toddlers, so you can use for a long time. We love all of the modern colors they come in, and a set of them would be a perfect gift for baby or a baby shower. They would especially make a perfect holiday baby gift guide pick because each bib purchase provides one meal to combat hunger.

Binka Bear: Sure, you can get your little one a teddy bear for the holidays, but wouldn’t it be fantastic to gift a teddy bear with a purpose? Enter, the Binka Bear! Binka Bear, designed by a mom of two, was created to help toddlers ditch the pacifier, using the bear’s special design and associated book. Each Binka Bear comes with a beautifully illustrated rhyming storybook and includes a lovable plush stuffed bear with 2 hidden pockets, one in each hand, that allow your child to give their pacifiers to Binka Bear PERMANENTLY when the parent seals them inside with the easy to use laces. The Binka Bear is a perfect gift for any baby or toddler in your life who needs to ditch the paci in a loving way.
