I came across an interesting article this morning that is packed with tips to help save you money and help save the earth.

The author starts by examining the merits of breast milk but goes on to give some good suggestions for what to do when baby reaches the stage of wanting to eat everything that’s on your plate! She says the greenest way of feeding your baby at this stage is to prepare local organic fruits, veg and even meats in your own kitchen.  The author says not to go out and buy the foods separately, but instead put a few items aside that you’re preparing for your own dinner and mash them up with a fork or mix in a blender to create your own organic baby food! Apart from being the healthiest, least wasteful method of feeding baby, this should also be the cheapest. (more…)

I just wanted to say a big thank you to all our readers and contributors who help make this blog a valuable resource for new parents.  As you know, this a completely free resource backed by our retail site.  We have been expanding recently which is why we haven’t had the time to write as many new posts as we would have liked.  The new retail site is now online at Lullaby Babies but it won’t be open for business until April the 7th 2009.  Until then all products will be marked, ‘Out of stock.’ 

After the launch date, we plan to give this baby sleep blog a make-over and we are considering a parent’s club, chatroom and more. 

The concept behind the new boutique is to source the finest organic and eco-friendly products for babies and unite them all in one place.  Our product range will start off fairly small (because we research and test each product personally before approving it for inclusion into the boutique).  However, the range will grow as we do and we hope that our customers will feel as passionate about the products as we do!
