No nursery is complete without an old-fashioned music box to send baby to sleep. This one is brightly painted in non-toxic colors and made from long-lasting woods in a cheerful design that baby will love just as much as he or she grows into a toddler. Just make sure the mom-to-be hasn’t chosen carefully matching pastels for her nursery or this gift might just clash with the color scheme! Just like the traditional merry go round music boxes this one rotates as it plays so baby can be lulled to sleep watching the figures go round and round to tune of the melodious waltz.

A sleep sack is just so practical for new babies and this one goes one better, as it is made in 100% organic cotton. No more baby waking up cold because she kicked off the blankets, or getting them bunched over her face. This way she is securely tucked up for the night in breathable cotton that will prevent over-heating too and which is a good light weight for summertime and warmer climates. The organic cotton will appeal to eco-conscious mothers, as it is free of chemicals and preservatives, so better for baby and better for the environment. The pretty polka dot design will suit boys and girls alike and is a peaceful design for calming night-times. It comes in a small size for new-born babies and a medium for 6-12 months and has a clever inverted zipper design to allow for changing diapers at night without having to take baby right out of the sleepsack. A practical and thoughtful gift for a new mother.

Mooey Cow is a gorgeous 11inch long cuddly toy from Peru.

She is just waiting to be cuddled by baby and is safe and organic. She is made using organic cotton, and her insides are filled with polyester which inhibits the growth of any harmful mold. Eco friendly dye is used for the coloring.

The company was started by a small family who wanted to provide work for them and their villagers. It grew and now employs hundreds of rural Peruvians.

As it’s made from organic materials, no pesticides or harmful chemicals have been used in the manufacturing process which is good for your baby, and good for the planet.

This is a fairly new idea… a teether and a pacifier combined in one great looking product.

Gone are the days when parents were faced with only plastic teething rings and pacifiers. This pacifier is produced from medical grade silicone which, as I’m sure all parents know is totally non-toxic.

The interestingly shaped silicone nipple is very soft, and will encourage exploration and chewing whilst gently soothing baby off to sleep. It can even be frozen if needed. It’s easy to clean and will last many times longer than those made from traditional materials.

Why choose bamboo over cotton?
There are many advantages to using bamboo. I’m sure you can search the internet and discover hundreds of pages, but first and foremost, bamboo has natural anti-bacterial properties, meaning the material will remain fresher and more hygenic.
