    pip & grow’s Smitten Baby Box – Best Baby Shower Gift Ever

    As a lot of people haven been vaccinated, the expecting moms feel more comfortable to receive the baby shower gifts. Are you invited to attend any friend’s Baby Shower recently? If you have no idea what the mother-to-be needs, let me give you a important Baby Lesson first. It’s super common for babies to have their days and nights mixed up. And while they do need to wake up in the night for feedings, some seem to just be complete night owls.⁠ The little one’s internal clock won’t be fully developed until they’re about 5 or 6 months old. When you type “get baby to sleep better” into Google, you’ll get roughly 29,000,000 articles, products, and gimmicks that guarantee “your baby will sleep through the night right away!” Sigh. With so much info out there, you really need someone truly know the answer and give the best solution.

    Your friend will find that a gift of pip & grow’s Smitten Baby Box will save their life one day. They help parents easily keep their babies close (and safe) in any room.

    (This is a cute Smitten Baby Box I gifted my best friend.
    She absolutely loves it!
    It’s perfect for her 4 months baby girl.)

    safe sleep is simple with the smitten baby box

    pip & grow is here to take the guesswork out of safe sleep. Other sleep options, like cribs, just aren’t built for modern family life. No one wants to drag a pack n play around the house while working, attending to older kids, or doing chores.

    With Smitten, your baby’s bed is always where you need it. 

    Smitten Baby Box Highlights:

    • Safe. Designed by one of the country’s leading infant safety experts, it meets all pediatric guidelines for safe sleep.
    • Easy to use. The Smitten weighs just 2lbs but can carry 100lbs, so you can move it around your home with ease.
    • Simple assembly. It takes families an average of 2 minutes to put their baby box together.
    • Sleep for 6 months. Play for years. Infants can sleep in the baby box for up to 6 months. Then, convert your Smitten baby box into a toy chest, laundry basket, or imagination station.
    • Sustainable. Made from recycled corrugate, just pop it in the recycling bin when you’re done.
    • Ethically made. These baby boxes are made in the USA by manufacturing partners who treat their workers well.

    pip & grow also has a Mindful Method for Sleep program. Created by infant sleep, infant health, and health communication experts, pip & grow’s two data-driven courses are backed by science and use mindfulness to calm parents and caregivers, which in turn, reduces baby’s stress and improves sleep.

    The Mindful Method for Sleep retails for $87 per course or $150 for the duo and is available direct-to-consumer through the company’s website at www.pipandgrow.com/sleep-courses.

    pip & Grow Safety Courses

    pip & grow safety courses are designed to be used by any caregiver—parents, grandparents, nannies, etc.—in order to help provide you with the information you need to foster a safe environment for your growing family.

    Created by pip & grow co-founder and nationally-known child safety expert, Amber Kroeker, these courses are short but impactful, and are full of important safety details, tips, and data.

    why safe sleep matters

    Sleep-related infant deaths are the most common cause of post-neonatal infant mortality. In 2013, approximately 3,434 infants died unexpectedly. And, nearly half of these deaths were attributed to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). ‘Unknown’ and ‘accidental suffocation or strangulation in bed’ contributes to the remaining causes. Fortunately, health care provider opinions can strongly influence how parents place their infant to sleep.

    Currently, there are several research studies underway in the US and Canada. These studies are examining sleep box use as part of hospital distribution programs. Pip & Grow welcomes partnerships that will further advance the science behind infant sleep boxes.

    At pip & grow, they know safe, healthy sleep is important for your family. That’s why they created a one-stop shop to meet your sleep needs, from pregnancy through preschool.

    About pip & grow:

    pip & grow launched in September 2016 with its Smitten Baby Box, a sustainable, easy-to-use option for safe sleep. The Smitten Baby Box is trusted by parents nationwide, and the company has experienced unparalleled success working with community organizations, including hospitals and non-profits, to provide their baby boxes to families in need. In March 2021, the company unveiled its Mindful Method for Sleep program consisting of two data-driven courses that emphasize mindfulness to lower stress and improve sleep for the whole family. pip & grow is led by CEO, Kate Compton Barr, a Forbes Next 1000 entrepreneur.

    The First Gift for My Best Friend’s New Born! Right at Easter.

    About a year ago, the world was changing quickly as COVID-19 became a huge part of all of our lives. It meant we were all suddenly working remotely, unable to see family or friends, and missing big moments we were looking forward to. My best friend gave birth to her first baby girl last year and I never get a change to visit them, even though we live only 30 minutes away. Finally, this week, all of us have been vaccinated and decided to plan a brunch together. I have been so looking forward to meeting her new baby girl. The time is right at the Saturday before Easter weekend.

    A cute Easter Bunny gift will be perfect for her, and this year’s Easter will be her first Easter ever! As she is so little for a toy that she could play with, I chose Blossom Bunny Kimono Romper and Hat Set from Bunnies By The Bay, which is a super lovely baby & young kids brand provides timeless baby gifts with a soft bunny touch just in time for the holidays. From lovies and buddy blankets to adorable stuffed animals, their gifts will be cherished “hareloom” possessions (parents may wish to get multiples in case a lovie gets lost!). An added touch of personalization with an embroidered name makes the gifts even more special.

    Blossom Bunny Kimono Romper and Hat Set

    Too cute for words, this is the perfect newborn clothing set for the newest little bunny girl in the bunch. This soft, cozy, and convenient cotton knit kimono-style short sleeve romper and the matching cap have unique de-tails for fashion, function, and fun.

    Designed in an adorable pattern of our classic Blossom pink bunny and her pal tweet the bluebird with pink flowers on a white background. Topped off with a darling pink floral pattern on a white background to make the contrast trim and ties the perfect dash of adorableness.

    The snap crotch makes diaper changes a breeze, and the tie wrap closure makes dressing even the wiggliest of littles a little less daunting. The wrap closure is also made to keep only the softest cotton against the baby’s sensitive healing belly button.

    The matching easy-on cap for keeping baby’s head warm, cozy, and cute with knotted ears is a perfect addition to this darling outfit!

    A wonderful choice for a “Coming home from the hospital outfit”, or for that first “Sip and See” social event to introduce baby to the world.

    Picked My Best Friend’s Baby Shower Gift from Kyte Baby

    Baby Shower is one of my favorite events that I love to attend, because we are expecting a beautiful new born coming in this world. We bring a gift for a little baby who hasn’t came out yet, how magic it is. Picking a baby shower gift is so important to welcome this little angel, a good gift makes a good wish for this baby’s health and happiness. You also want baby’s parents know how happy you feel for them. My best friend’s baby is coming at the end of 2020 and tomorrow will be the baby shower! What should I get for this wonderful and important day? I am not a mom yet, but I believe I will at some point. So I did some research for my friend’s baby shower, as well as for the future myself.
    Unlike other baby apparel, Kyte BABY has the softest baby pajamas that are economically sourced out of bamboo! Bamboo is 3 degrees cooler than cotton, while also being hypoallergenic. The fabric itself also promotes the smart use of resources and sustainability. Bamboo is the best choice for your baby and for the planet’s future, and this way of thinking is evident in every aspect of Kyte BABY!
    ZIPPERED FOOTIE IN DUSK

    Everything you love about Kyte BABY’s soft and snuggly classic footies now with a zipper! The dual zipper option makes wardrobe or diaper changes a breeze.

    Made from silky smooth bamboo rayon creating a cool outfit in a rainbow of modern, earthy colors. The stretchy material gives you the option to have a snug or looser fit while still staying comfortable and stylish. For those babies starting to walk Kyte BABY now has grips starting on sizes 6-12 Months.

    Material 97% Bamboo Rayon | 3% Spandex

    SLEEP BAG IN SAPPHIRE 1.0

    Are you having trouble putting baby to bed at night? Then you have to try Kyte BABY’s sleep bag. So many moms report that it helps their baby sleep through the night. And since it’s the safest alternative to a blanket in bed, it helps reduce the risk of SIDS too. That’s probably why it was voted the No. 1 Wearable Blanket by The Bump (2019). Kyte BABY’s sleep bag is made of 97% rayon of bamboo so it feels buttery soft and breathable. It features a J-shaped double zipper, which makes it super easy to use. At 1.0 TOG, it’s the ideal warmth year-round.

    TOG is a rating system that measures warmth and calculates how quickly a fabric uses heat. It is the standard when choosing the appropriate sleeping bag for your baby depending on the ambient temperature in their nursery. A thicker tog is recommended during cooler months and a thinner size during warmer months.

    0.5 TOG: 23 – 26 °C / 74 – 78 °F

    1.0 TOG: 21 – 23 °C / 69 – 73 °F

    2.5 TOG: 16 – 20 °C / 61 – 68 °F

    Exterior: 97% Rayon from Bamboo, 3% Spandex

    Filling: 100% Polyester

    Lulu’s Pick – BABY BLANKET

    PRINTED BABY BLANKET IN HUMMINGBIRD

    Kyte BABY’s infant and toddler blankets are cozy and soft to the touch. The gentle rayon from bamboo fabric has a silky smooth feeling that will keep your little ones cozy and warm and bring comfort and snugness during cuddle times.

    The blankets are two sided – One side is quilted with a solid color inspired by nature and the other features a playful animal pattern with a modern take on children’s favorites.

    Exterior: 97% Bamboo of Rayon, 3% Spandex

    Interior: 100% Polyester

    Tog Rating: 1.0 Tog

    Infant | 33 in x 33 in; 84 cm x 84 cm

    The reason that I picked a baby blanket is because it’s very easy, safe and very useful. As a good friend and a good “aunt”, I am sure I will have more and more gifts coming for my best friend’s baby. For the 1st birthday, 2nd birthday, or the first time the baby can walk, Aunt Lulu will have more lovely gifts prepared. Kyte BABY has so many great baby product options and I love their great design and quality. Also they use Bamboo to make their products. Bamboo fibers create an incredibly soft fabric that is both gentle and cozy to the touch. The fabric is breathable, for comfort in any temperature, and absorbs & evaporates humidity better than any other fabric available.

    Bamboo, technically a grass rather than a tree, is one of the most sustainable resources on earth, textile or otherwise. Growing up to a yard in a single day, it never requires replanting due to its vast, interconnected root network. Not only does it not require replanting, but it also doesn’t require tractors, fertilizers, or pesticides. Following harvesting, it’s converted into fabric. This fabric, called rayon, is incredibly soft, statistically breathes better than cotton, and is hypoallergenic. This makes it perfect for babies, especially when considering overheating and sensitive skin.

    The benefits of using bamboo begin with it being the most sustainable and versatile resource on the planet, as we’ve mentioned. It’s the fastest growing plant in the world, and quickly adapts to different climates. Not only is it earth-friendly, but it is also an environmentally intelligent choice because bamboo minimizes CO2 and generates 35% more oxygen than trees. Bamboo is the best choice for your baby, and for the planet’s future.
