Mint and Lilac: Baby Boutique

Mint and Lilac in Shopping For Baby

2009-08-13T09:33:00.006+10:00

3 of our gorgeous brands were chosen to feature in the latest edition of 'Shopping for baby'!

Our Woobee Blankets are brilliant for the cooler months to protect baby from the cold, wind and rain. They are also fantastic for warm weather too as an outdoor play mat, protecting bub from morning dew on the grass, prickles and sand!

Aden & Anais Muslin Wraps have taken over the celebrity baby world with their huge size, soft feel, beautiful patterns and incredible versatility. If you haven't used muslin wraps before, you should grab at least one and you'll be amazed how many uses they actually have!

Breastfeeding in public is not the easiest of things, but with the Ring O Rosey milkwrap, it can be SO much more straight forward! This cover folds up so tiny and fits into any size bag, then simply attaches to your singlet or bra strap for security and drapes over baby and breasts so your little one can feed without distractino, and you can relax knowing you are not going to suddenly expose yourself to the world!!

Shopping for Baby is a fantastic magazine full of new products, ideas and inspiration. If you haven't read this years edition, it is well worth a look!
