Back to Sleep Day 18: NüRoo Swaddle

We just love the innovative, practical (grows with baby!) swaddle from NüRoo that we are featuring in today’s Back to Sleep product spotlight. There is SO much to love about this three-in-one swaddler that grows with your baby, but what we love the most? Its compression fabric recreates the familiar, comforting in utero snugness and eases your baby’s transition from the womb. Pretty cool, huh? Read on to find out if this swaddle is a good fit for your lifestyle and baby registry then enter to win one.

With a pocket for baby and velcro wings, the NüRoo Swaddler takes user error out of swaddling. Place baby in pocket, position arms as desired, secure velcro across baby’s chest.You can even use as an arms out transitioner. Simple, safe and no challenging wrapping to figure out. The NüRoo swaddle is also the only one with three distinct sizes built into one swaddle so that every stage of baby’s growth, the swaddle fits them perfectly, without any excess material – a suffocation hazard.

You can use the NuRoo Swaddle the day your baby is born, so be sure to wash and pack it in your hospital bag. It supports the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative, is used by leading instutitions and approved for use in the NICU with pre-term infants.

The NuRoo’s swaddle signature fabric has the ability to pull sweat and moisture off baby’s skin, passing it through the material and releasing into the air to keep baby comfortable and dry. The breathable, moisture wicking properties help regulate baby’s body temperature. This assists in weight gain by limiting brown fat stored in baby burns by working to cool down or stay warm.

Back to Sleep Day 15: Cloud b

by Gugu Guru 4 Comments

We have lots of heart for today’s Back to Sleep sponsor: Cloud b – and that might be because the brand’s adorable, award-winning Sleep Sheep has a lot of heart for newborns (heartbeats, that is). Sleep Sheep is the ultimate sleep-aid for your babe. It is a cute, cuddly, little lamb with a hidden sound machine that plays white noise to soothe your child into a restful, relaxing sleep.

If you’re on the go with baby a lot, whether it’s down the street or “across the pond”, it’s important to create a familiar, comfortable sleep environment for your baby to promote good sleep habits. Whether it’s at home or on a travel crib, Sleep Sheep’s velcro tab allows for easy attachment. Also important for travel is that Sleep Sheep is easy to clean – just remove the soundbox and through in the washing machine and dryer.

To an infant, there’s nothing as comforting as a mother’s heartbeat and the Cloud b Sleep Sheep is the perfect stand-in, especially when baby is at daycare. Sleep Sheep features a heartbeat setting that mimics the comforting sounds of the womb in addition to three white noise options.

The Sleep Sheep is scientifically proven to promote sleep. This is important for all babies but especially premature babies, who spend a fraction of time in deep sleep compared to their full-term counterparts. A study of 20 newborns found that infants were more likely to fall asleep within five minutes in response to white noise. And, preemie or not, little ears are more sensitive, so Cloud b products are kept within recommended sound levels.

Back to Sleep Day 13: ErgoPouch

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

It’s Day 13 of our Back to Sleep event and it also happens to be the official last day of summer, which makes it seem especially fitting to be showcasing today’s featured product the Winter Sleep Suit from ergoPouch. The ergoPouch Sleep Suit is a safe way to keep baby warm without the need for extra blankets. You can use the Sleep Suit in the crib as a sleeping bag, then convert into legs using the zippers. Read on to find out more about this innovative sleep garment.

All ergoPouch products are made from skin-friendly, natural fibres, including Organic Cotton, Merino and Bamboo. The 2.5 TOG Sleep Suit is designed for Winter temperatures and is made with an Organic Cotton sheeting outer layer and 100% cotton filling.

ergoPouch uses natural fibers for the fillings of its products specifically to improve breathability and temperature regulation. The ergoPouch Winter Sleep Suit may keep your baby snuggly warm but it is highly breathable and also, impressively, antibacterial. When it’s chillier, the garment has long cotton fleece sleeves and fold over mitts for warmth.

The simplicity of converting from Sleep Bag to Sleep Suit using the zippers is what earns our No Fuss badge on the ergoPouch Winter Sleep Suit. This feature makes the transition from crib to stroller or carseat an easy one for parents. The suit fits easily into a stroller or baby carrier. Not to mention that the zippers provide easy access for diaper changes – always a blessing, especially when on the go.

Back to Sleep Day 12: Owlet

by Gugu Guru 6 Comments

With unintentional suffocation the leading cause of injury death among U.S. children under the age of one, it’s no wonder parents often have trouble getting a good night’s sleep during baby’s first year. So, on the twelfth day of Back To Sleep, we are featuring a company that has an amazing mission when it comes to safe sleep: Owlet. Owlet is a device worn like a sock on your baby’s foot designed to alert you if your baby stops breathing. With the Owlet monitor, parents and caregivers can rest easy knowing there is an extra set of eyes watching over baby.

While Owlet is certainly cutting edge, this is actually a “smart” device you don’t really need to be a gadget geek to appreciate. The Owlet device uses hospital technology called pulse oximetry, miniaturized into a snuggly Smart Sock that your little one wears to bed at night. The base station collects vitals data from the Smart Sock via bluetooth to the base station located on the parents’ night stand. Then parents can remotely monitor vitals within the smart phone app.

If you’re a working parent and especially one that may leave baby at daycare, you can have peace of mind that Owlet is monitoring baby, providing peace of mind. Owlet is the only monitor that uses hospital technology designed to alert if your baby’s heart rate or oxygen fall outside of range. Plus if both parents work both of you can access your child’s information on the Owlet app from your respective smartphones.

Owlet was founded by a team of passionate parents who wanted to bring themselves—and other parents around the globe—peace of mind. The co-founders of Owlet, all of whom are young fathers, have learned firsthand what it is like to lose sleep worrying about their babies. As parents, the team at Owlet feels that they are their own target market – all have young children and all have experienced the stress of coming home that first night and the hundreds of the feelings and emotions that come with it. The Owlet team is built around this knowledge and passion for helping others.

Back to Sleep Day 11: 4moms Breeze

by Gugu Guru 9 Comments

This is hands-down, one of the coolest play yards out there. Any seasoned parent will tell you that play yards can be so dang confusing. Some have this whole step-by-step process of popping up the sides and then pushing some button in the middle while the sides that you thought were popped in wind up collapsing on you… (Wait, yeah, that’s not the way it’s supposed to go but that’s been our experience and the experience of many others.) And that is why the team at Gugu Guru just loves the sleep-certified 4moms Breeze. Learn more about whether this product is a fit for your lifestyle and/or baby registry then enter to win one below.

Aside from its general ease of use and the fact that it comes with a convenient travel bag, the 4moms Breeze is so sturdy and well made that it is sure to withstand the beating that traveling baby gear typically takes. From being stacked on to thrown on a conveyor belt, rest assured that the Breeze can take it and will still provide a comfy, familiar place for baby once you arrive at your destination. The fact that both the play yard and bassinet attachment wipe clean with a damp cloth is also a bonus when you’re on the road frequently.

4moms is really THE gear brand for tech loving parents. The company actually doesn’t call itself a “baby gear company” but rather a “consumer technology company that leverages robotics, technology and innovative design to disrupt and redefine.” With its one touch open and close feature, the Breeze doesn’t disappoint in terms of disrupting the category.

4moms calls its Breeze “seriously easy” and we agree, hence our No Fuss badge here. To open the Breeze, you just give one push. To close the Breeze, you just pull a single time. Anyone who has ever battled with a clunky play yard of the past will more than appreciate the ease of use that the Breeze has to offer. Furthermore, there’s something to be said about “so easy to use that a grandparent can figure it out” and that definitely applies here.

Back to Sleep Day 8: Bitta Kidda

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

On this eighth day of Back to Sleep, we highlight the BittaSack from Bitta Kidda – one of the most thoughtfully designed and safest sacks that we’ve ever discovered. The BittaSack is mostly known for its two strategically placed wearable lovies for baby to grab for self-soothing during the night. These lovies cannot twist around baby or cover baby’s face, making the BittaSack the only sleep garment of its kind to safely provide a lovie in the crib. Plus, because the lovie is attached, it can’t be lost in the crib or tossed out of the crib – bonus! But, wait, there’s more! Read on to find out what else is so great about this sleep sack… The BittaSack definitely helps with baby fussing but also soothes mom & dad! Late night diaper changes are now not a problem. We give the BittaSack our No Fuss stamp because its genius diagonal zipper is easier to zip and also allows baby to stay comfortable while you easily change diapers. Just unzip diagonal zipper while leaving shoulder snapped, open internal diaper cover and change baby’s diaper. Once you’re done, refasten diaper cover and zip baby back up. The whole time your baby stays cozy with lovie in hand.

Oftentimes daycares don’t allow for lovies or blankies during naptime, as they can be a sleeping hazard. If your baby loves to hold on to something while they sleep (which most do!), this is the perfect daycare accompaniment because it will help them get a great nap!

Bitta Kidda also offers BittaDaytime – a small cotton velour Lovie that clips directly to clothing, which is perfect for traveling. The lovie is always in reach when baby needs to self soothe and provides comfort (and entertainment!) when you are out and about in unfamiliar settings. We also love that we can now enjoy stroller walks knowing that the lovie can’t fall to the ground – or worse – get tossed out of the stroller and lost forever.

Back to Sleep Day 7: Newton Baby

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

We are seven days into our Back To Sleep event and we are featuring true mattress innovation today with Newton Baby. Newton’s Wovenaire technology is not only 100% breathable but it has the perfect combination of cushy firmness to cradle your little one to sleep and help them stay asleep longer. What’s more is that Newton is the first washable and 100% recyclable crib mattress. Have we got your attention yet? We thought so. Read on to get the details about this cutting-edge product.

The Newton mattress cover has two layers of highly breathable spacer fabric quilted together in an attractive cloud pattern to create soft pillows of air. The patented Wovenaire core is 90% air and 10% food-grade polymer and provides the comfort of foam and latex without any of the drawbacks. The Wovenaire design allows for air flow through the mattress – keeping away moisture and helping regulate temperature so no more sweaty baby backs!

Can you say 100% recyclable? Yes, that’s right – the Green Guard Gold certified Newton mattress is 100% recyclable. Additionally, the process used to manufacture Newton mattresses is environmentally responsible, as well as safe for your family. None of the foam, latex, springs and glue common in other crib mattresses means no off gassing, toxic chemicals or allergens. Plus it’s free of biocides and toxic fire retardants.

We give this mattress our No Fuss badge because it is WASHABLE! What’s that you say? Yes, washable. Just unzip the polyester cover and throw it right in the washing machine. Then place your Wovenaire mattress in the shower or tub and clean using a mild detergent and cold water. Lay your Wovenair on its side to dry for 2-6 hours and voila – you have a like new mattress that will last years to come!

Back To Sleep Day 6: Gunamuna

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

It’s Day 6 of our Back To Sleep event and we’re showcasing a newer and smarter wearable blanket – the Gunapod from Gunamuna. Developed by moms, the Gunapod is a soft baby sleep sack that has a simple-yet-ingenious layout of zippers and snaps incredibly easy to adjust into many configurations, which means baby is more comfortable & mom’s life is easier. In our Back to Sleep event, we’re highlighting the new duvet Gunapod constructed with luxurious bamboo viscose.

The Gunapod is super easy wherever you find yourself changing a diaper. The WONDERZiP opens the Gunapod completely from underarm to underarm, with four separate pulls thereby functioning in a multitude of ways. This provides the easiest, fastest diaper change along with multiple ways to easily transfer baby, while keeping him or her covered and warm.

With its unique, more modern fit in luxury fabrics plus duvet, you’ll find that Gunapod is super comfortable in a car or plane; keeping baby warm and snug while traveling. It’s also a safe sleep necessity in a hotel that can get chilly with A/C. By unzipping in many combinations, the WONDERZiP system allows customized control of warmth so baby is comfortable with changing temperatures while traveling.

Wearable Blankets are a necessity for daycare as no loose blankets are allowed. Gunamuna is one of the most comfortable for baby and offers easy changes for daycare provider.

Back To Sleep Day 4: Nanit

by Gugu Guru 1 Comment

Today we’re highlighting a brand new, truly “smart” baby monitor on the market that provides deep insights into your baby’s sleeping habits – Nanit.

What makes Nanit different is that it actually measures and understands sleep using computer vision and machine learning. It tells you how long your baby slept, analyzes sleep patterns, keeps track of nighttime visits, plus delivers summaries of day and night sleep — helping both you and baby get more zzz’s. Not only that, but Nanit provides a crystal-clear live stream of the crib from a patented bird’s eye perspective and has superior night vision (no more fuzzy images!) So you’ll always have the best view of baby in the crib.

If you’re a working mom, rest assured that as long as Nanit’s connected to the Internet, you’ll be able to monitor your baby via Nanit’s app from anywhere in the world; whether it’s your office or on a business trip. In addition, multiple users (e.g., dad, caregivers – even grandparents!) can access Nanit’s camera at the same time via Nanit’s app. You can set up multiple users for your account through the app’s settings.

More than one baby on the way? The Nanit may be a good fit for you! While parents of multiples need to buy separate Nanit cameras to keep an eye on both children, the app is designed to allow parents to seamlessly switch between the two camera views.
