Maternal Touch Merino Baby Wrap
After working with babies AND wrapping babies in the many different and complicated wraps that are available to parents...Samantha designed her own baby wrap. The Maternal Touch Baby Wrap is made out of 100% NZ Merino. Merino is soft, comfortable and luxurious and is ideal as a baby wrap as it creates its own microclimate around the baby, protecting the body by drawing away heat in the warmer months and insulating the body in the cooler months. Merino also has a smooth non- irritating surface, making it suitable for a baby’s sensitive skin.
7 GREAT reasons to use a Maternal Touch Baby Wrap!
Designed by Samantha Ferreira leading baby expert the Maternal Touch Baby Wrap has a special pocket sewn into one side of the wrap. A pleat with a handmade bow is also sewn into the pocket. This is where baby’s feet go in and therefore baby can never kick the wrap off.
Unlike many wraps available, your baby will never grow out of a Maternal Touch Baby Wrap due to their size and weight. The wrap has been carefully designed to allow your baby to grow as much as possible, and can be used until 6 months and then under the arm wrapping from 6 months onwards.
The wrap helps prevent babies from waking themselves up when they come into a light sleep, as the wrap is secure enough to prevent the startle reflex, allowing babies to fall back into a deep sleep naturally.
Hassle free; no need to take blankets and sheets when out and about…the wrap is all you need.
Economical; after using the Maternal Touch Baby Wrap….throw it in the machine on gentle wash and it will come out looking brand new!!!
The Maternal Touch Baby Wrap is designed by someone who works with babies every day, giving her expert inside knowledge on how babies work.
And lastly………Proudly designed and made in New Zealand! The Maternal Touch Baby Wrap is one of the best gifts you can give to someone who is expecting a new baby, or buy one for your own wee bundle of joy. The Wrap is beautifully presented in a gorgeous white organza bag, with wrapping instructions.
The Maternal Touch Baby Wrap has been tried and tested by many KFR Members and we are always receiving amazing feedback on this product

Keep baby feeling warm, snuggled and secure, much like they were in the womb! Is great for use in the day and also for sleeping. I recommend using a light wrap under the cocoon for sleeping so that little fingers and toes don't escape through the knit (although this is very cute!). Prevents startle reflex from waking baby as their arms are safely tucked away inside the cocoon.
I fell in love with The Womb with a View last year when we received two of them at our office.They are so soft just devine. Hand made in Australia
by Edan Rose.
To use you simply roll the cocoon down and place baby in feet first and then roll the cocoon up and over baby making sure babies head is exposed. - Instant cuteness, I guarantee you will get so many comments when your baby is wearing its "Womb with a View"!
These cocoons are available in a Premmie and Infant size, they are also available in a range of wools.
These make the most gorgeous baby gift and are available from Edan Rose at www.edanrose.etsy.com or www.madeit.com.au/EdanRose .

When Mum Chos designer Ute Lorch travelled to Europe with her two-month old daughter Kara in 2006, she knew she would be breastfeeding her in all sorts of public places day and night. She was looking for something that would give her some privacy and Kara some comfort.
“I’m not prudish but I still find it awkward and sometimes it is other people who are uncomfortable. And in Europe there are few facilities for parents,” said Ute. She found a light weight poncho in a drawer she had bought a few seasons previously and thought it might work.
“It was great. I was more relaxed and Kara really enjoyed the intimacy of being covered yet she could still see through it,” she said.
“She would just go to sleep on the plane or we could go out at night. And I was not always thinking I have to get some where private to feed her.”
Her friends commented on how brilliantly the poncho worked and on her return to New Zealand Ute searched the market to see if they were still available. They weren’t and with encouragement from family and friends, MumCho was born.
Ute was a university science lecturer, although she was interested in fashion design at school. She did all the background work on the design, fabrics, manufacturing and the business case. “I came up with two designs as I wanted the babies to be able to see out and not get too hot,” said Ute.
The traditional “over-the-head” style comes in silk or chiffon and in various beautiful patterns. Both fit into a pouch which fits into a handbag.
The merino fabric is in a wrap style with a buckle, so the babies can still see out. These come in plain, earthy colours. And Ute has already had demand for these from women who are not feeding as an evening wrap.
“I think breastfeeding is the best thing you can do for your children. It has nutritional value and is good for boosting their immune systems and also for bonding,” she says.
“I hope that MumChos will give women confidence and that sense of privacy in a public place that will encourage them to breastfeed and to breastfeed longer.” Visit www.mumcho.co.nz for Stockists

Il tutto The Ultimate in Luxury
Il Tutto, gorgeous practical bags for mums, is an exciting brand for the style conscious mother - a woman who wants the practicality of a baby bag hidden in the façade of a cool, luxe, must-have handbag. Meaning ‘everything' in Italian, Il Tutto handbags have been designed to hold literally ‘everything'.
Il Tutto knows that mothers still pine after the latest ‘it bags'. Having a baby is not having a style lobotomy. These gorgeous practical bags for mums are crafted from buttery soft Italian leathers, with subtle styling that keep numerous compartments for all your baby needs inside a handbag you want to be seen with.
Designer Lucie Trinco knows handbags. With her training honed in Milan, Italy, she has spent the last 3 years as Head of Design at Oroton, and has designed handbags for brands such as Jigsaw, Mambo, Fiorelli and Saba. At an age when her friends are having babies, Lucie saw a gap in the market for an on-trend bag that catered to the needs of a new mother. Realising there were no baby bags out there she would want to be seen carrying, Lucie knew she had to do something.
"When my friends were begging me to design them a bag with baby features they couldn't find in a cool and luxurious leather handbag, I researched the market, and realised nobody was doing it well. Not everybody wants a gingham bag in blue or pink that screams new mother".
Il Tutto bags hang neatly on a stroller or can be worn over the shoulder, and feature linings that can be removed for washing, or when you want to use them as a regular handbag. This means the life of your bag extends beyond your child's infancy so you can use your Il Tutto bag for its obvious purpose - a gorgeous handbag you want to keep using. With insulated bottle holders, pacifier clips and waterproof changing mats, among other features, Il Tutto bags also have mobile phone pockets, pen holders and zip pockets for all your personal belongings. Il Tutto remembers the woman you were before having a baby, and makes the transition as easy and effortlessly cool as possible
