Nature Baby

The Original Organic Sleep Cocoon

A pure night’s sleep is precious for babies. As they spend so much of their new life sleeping, a healthy sleeping environment free from synthetics and chemicals is an essential.

Nature Baby, New Zealand’s leading organic and natural baby brand offers parents the original certified Organic Sleep Cocoon to help little ones sleep soundly as nature intended, with none of the chemicals used in the processing of conventional cotton and merino.

Inspired by nature’s own, the Nature Baby Organic Sleep Cocoon keeps baby wrapped up snug, so no more wriggling out of blankets which makes for a better nights sleep for the whole family.This organic sleeping bag comes in both winter and summer weights which aid restful sleep, ensuring baby’s fragile temperature is regulated for comfort throughout the night no matter the season.

The Winter Weight Organic Sleep Cocoon is made with a 100% certified organic cotton outer and a 100% certified organic NZ merino wool inner, perfect for cooler seasons.
 
The Summer Weight Organic Sleep Cocoon is made from 100% pure certified organic jersey cotton. Wearing this silky soft luxurious cotton next to the skin allows ventilation, absorbs body moisture and helps to keep baby cool but lightly covered on summer nights.
 
Organic Cotton is the perfect fabric for a baby’s delicate and sensitive skin. It has been grown and processed without the use of harmful chemicals and is fair-traded, so parents can be rest assured their baby is sleeping in the most pure of products.
 
Organic Merino wool is also ideal for newborn babies as it is an insulating fibre, which absorbs body moisture and allows for maximum airflow. This means baby stays cosy and warm but without the danger of overheating, often caused by synthetic fabrics.

Nature Baby Organic Sleep Cocoons are produced in a way that cares for both the earth and its workers. This provides a welcome alternative to conventionally produced baby sleepwear which is great news for the growing number of parents who recognise the ethical and environmental benefits of buying organic.

Designed to provide the ultimate sleeping experience for baby, the Organic Sleep Cocoon’s are still proving to be practical. Each sleep cocoon has domes at the shoulder to allow a fit from newborn to 24 months and a double tab zip at the bottom makes for easy nightly nappy changes.

New features include a belt slot so baby can be transported from cot, to car seat, to pram without disturbance and also makes a handy nappy checker access. The Cocoons fold down compactly into their own drawstring bag for easy travelling.

The Nature Baby Organic Sleep Cocoon comes in a selection of classically sweet colours: Sage Stripe, Cornflower Blue Stripe, Pink Stripe, and new Red/Tea Stripe and Free Range Print.

Available in Winter Weight (RRP$159.95) and Summer Weight (RRP$98.95) from www.naturebaby.com.au  www.naturebaby.co.nz  and stockists
nationwide.

Rudy and the Dodo   |   17th June 2009 

Rudy and The Dodos online shop was born around the same time as their second son, Rudy and is continually inspired by him and his older brother Hugo, who has pronounced his name as "Dodo" from a very young age.

As a serious shopaholic in days gone by (ie pre-baby) Julia was constantly frustrated by a lack of childfree shopping time and energy when searching for fabulous goodies for her own children and gifts for family and friends. With so many friends baby booming at once, it seems there is always a new arrival, a baby shower or a birthday party around the corner. 

Their  ever expanding range of products offers a mixture of both handpicked and handcrafted products, which have an individual and quirky edge.

 
Rudy and the Dodo is also THE place to shop for those of you without your own little ones in tow. The world of kids products can be quite overwhelming if you haven't navigated it before. For that reason, we even offer a personal shopping and/or advice service to help guide you to the best available goodies for the little people in your life. Simply email julia@rudyandthedodo.com.au with age, sex and likes (if known) of the little person you are buying for and they will send you their suggestions (dont forget to tell them your budget).

Their goodies are also itemised by age suitability to help you along.

Rudy and the Dodo will bring the fun back into shopping for you. So pop the kettle on and take a look around their gorgeous little shop. You are sure to find something you, or the little person in your life, cannot live without!

Boulevard  Kids  August 16th 2009





Boulevard kids stock the most gorgeous range of cots , bedding , furniture and everything else you could possibly need for that one of a kind nursery.
Founder of boulevard kids, Jacinda Bowring, has always had a passion for beautiful things and a well trained eye for style.  Her interest in quality furnishings and interiors stems right back to a very early age,  “Even at the age of ten, when asked what I’d like for my birthday, instead of wanting the latest toy I had my eye on a gorgeous vintage bed head!” 

Jacinda’s love for interior styling and furnishings has combined with her extensive travels around the world, in particular to North America.  Having spent much of her time in Los Angeles, her absolute favourite place for inspiration and shopping is L.A’s infamous boutique shopping precinct ‘The Grove’.   Home to some of the world’s best quality children’s brands and furnishings, she found herself buying more and more for her nephews back in New Zealand.

Her popularity as the ‘buyer on behalf’ for so many of her friends and family, along with the lack of stylish quality produced nursery furnishings available back home, led to the launch of boulevard kids.  The range of furniture, linens, nursery wares and keepsakes you’ll find on this website is all hand picked and personally scrutinised for absolute quality and the highest safety standards by Jacinda.  She and her team regularly travel to ensure the very best and latest styles are available to boulevard kids’ shoppers.

boulevard kids brings heirloom quality pieces and the traditions of family into everyday nursery interiors.
