BPA Free Baby Feeding Products

Bisphenol A (BPA) has been in the news a lot in recent months and you may be wondering exactly what it is. This chemical is widely used in the manufacturing of plastics; in fact, you probably come into contact with it everyday via plastic food containers, drinking cups and wraps. There is concern that BPA is linked to various health problems and although some research shows it only leaches under extreme heat, the long term effects of general exposure are unknown. Since this chemical is extensively used in baby bottles, sippy cups and a multitude of other infant plastics, many parents are now seeking products that are BPA Free (particularly for anything related to baby feeding). We only stock BPA Free breast pumps, bottles and breast milk storage systems (Ameda, Medela, Sensible Lines Milk Trays & My Milkies Milk Saver).

The Perfect Wrap for Little Houdini's

The Lalito Baby Wrap is a unique and easy to use wrap to help baby (and you!) sleep better. Baby's arms are comfortably held within the wrap, preventing the startling reflex that often wakes them up. Endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives and designed by two Aussie mums, it uses a special contoured design which makes wrapping baby easy in three simple steps. A gathered detail even tells you where to place baby's head so novice mums, dads and grandparents can wrap baby properly and securely. Made from lightweight 100% cotton voile with satin trimmed edges, it has a gentle natural stretch to stop the straight jacket effect. Another great feature is the generous size: you can even wrap a 10 month old! RRP $19.95.

Breastfeeding Legend

Chances are you've heard of the Duggars, one of the largest families in the US. I was watching their reality TV show "18 Kids & Counting" and wondered if any of the children were breastfed. Considering mum Michelle seems to be perpetually pregnant and has her hands full, I thought she'd have stack of formula in her oversized pantry. Wrong! I was amazed to discover that not only has Michelle breastfed all of her children - many of them exclusively - it did not and still does not come naturally. Her list of problems reads like the index of a book: mastitis, yeast infectons, inverted nipples, toe curling pain and so on. Michelle's determination to breastfeed is quite astounding and she really is an inspiration. And she's due to do it all again when baby number 19 arrives next month.
