BIODEGRADABLE BABY WIPES

 

I’m really conscious that the products I use on Ripley have as little impact as possible on the planet. So I just wanted to do a quick shout out to Aqua Wipes which are 100% biodegradable, natural and plastic free.  I’ve used these since Rips was born and can’t recommend them enough. I totally appreciate that taking the eco route is sometimes more expensive but Ocado and Amazon regularly run promotions which means they work out cheaper than ocean polluting Water Wipes.

My Hummy - Portable White Noise Wonder

I’d previously written a post about Whisbear and the benefits of white noise but wanted to get a more portable device that would keep Ripley settled during car and train outings.

Car journeys usually send babies to sleep (great) but Ripley would usually wake the second we turned the ignition off (not so great).  Since we’ve been using MyHummy, he tends to snooze for ages and I can actually get sh*t done!

Sleepyhead zzzzzz

So, let me get straight to the point.  If I didn't own a Sleepyhead, I would not have the ability to write a sentence.

This blog post (and probably all future posts) are only possible because Sleepyhead actually gets baby to sleep. Which I guess is the purpose of the product.

As soon as I announced my pregnancy to friends, the "congratulations" were swiftly (and quite seriously) followed by "and definitely get a Sleepyhead".

Bamboo Swaddles from The Little Art Collection

Since prepping for the birth, I’ve learnt that you can never have too many swaddle blankets or muslins.

So, I went on the hunt for something a little different and discovered a charming little website called The Little Art Collection who make extra large swaddles made from 100% premium Bamboo Rayon.

Founded in 2016, the UK based, family run business work closely with local illustrators and art schools to create beautiful limited-edition printed designs.
