Mel says: “I have used Green Baby products before and though they tend to be quite expensive, I prefer to use products that are as natural as possible on my baby’s skin. Obviously this means having to pay that little bit more for them.

“Green Baby products have a use-by date and though I have pushed past this on occasions, It is good to know that the product’s ingredients are as natural as they can possibly be.

“The Calendula Balm has that lovely herby smell that other Green Baby products have. It is very hydrating on dry skin. It is a bit runny and oily when it comes out, but it soaks in well and things don’t slide out of my hands for an hour afterwards.

“It has been great on the patches of dry skin I get on my face and use it before I go to bed to avoid sweating it out. I have used it to soothe angry areas of skin on Lily where the Velcro from her natural nappy wrap covers rub sometimes if I don’t get them on the little wriggler just right.

“This is a Green Baby product that I would heartily recommend.”

“The Nathan Romper is really soft and great for this sudden summer heat. I love the bright pattern design with the little animals. The fabric is stretchy and fits Lily well. It seems to grow with her and not be restricted.

“Although it will machine wash, for some reason I felt it better to hand wash this garment. Perhaps because it is a little dearer it prompted me to take more care of it. I also didn’t want to spoil the fabric in any way. It washed and dried well.

“This romper suit is great for babies this summer. So soft and gentle on their skin and the fabric is so stretchy.”

Best of all…
It’s organic and Fairly Traded.
