Adiri Natural Nurser

Research has suggested that a toxic chemical might leak from polycarbonate plastic baby bottles into the milk baby drinks. Weather polycarbonate is harmful to young babies is controversial but well worth us knowing about and considering if we want to expose our young babies to this.

The Adiri Natural Nurser Ultimate Bottle is 100% polycarbonate-free and bisphenol-A free, as well as offers the latest high quality materials, a graceful design, and the new Fill, Twist and Feed™ system, engineered so that a parent or caregiver can quickly prepare a bottle, even with a hungry infant under one arm.

Adiri have developed the most natural, chemical free baby bottle ever seen. After all, your breast doesn’t feel like hard plastic. Why should your baby’s bottle?

A sleek cover protects the bottle from getting dirty and keeps the nipple from leaking during transport. The Adiri Natural Nurser comes in three stages for three different flow rates.

Adiri Natural Nursers can also be boiled or sterilized using a basic sterilizer.

byBO Design

I love the sleek design of these moulded birch veneer baby change tables and wall mounting nappyrette, designed by Swedish designer Bo Ekström

If space is an issue the wall hanging change table my help save some space. It can be screwed onto most walls, and the fittings are included. It takes a maximum load weight of 50 kg.

The matching wall mounted nappyrette is wonderful, this would be handy in any nursery.

If you have the space then take a look at the changing unit on wheels. I love that there is lots of areas to store all the stuff you need for your baby, however it cleverly all closes up and looks very neat and tidy.

Wouldn't these look great matched with a Leander cot or Stokke?

Sorry readers this is only available in Sweeden at the moment. Check out their web site for more information.

Seed Organic Cradle

I love it when I see a baby product that excites me.

The Seed Organic Cradle is one such product. This is a piece of furniture to treasure.

Made from breathable organic cotton, with a natural latex breather hole mattress, the environment this cradle creates for your baby is just wonderful.

It features:

Organic Cotton -Organic cotton is a term used to describe cotton that is free from chemicals. The cotton seeds are GM (genetically modified) free and throughout the growing process the cotton has not been sprayed with herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. In finishing the cotton all dyes used are free from heavy metals such as lead. It's also hypoallergenic, breathable and provides a more natural, safer environment for your baby.

Latex 'Breather Hole" Mattress
Latex is a 100% natural organic product derived from the milky sap of the Hevea Brasiliensis (Rubber Tree) . It is hypoallergenic, ant - microbial. (does not grow bacteria or mould) It will contour to the shape of your baby's body building up no pressure points and is a breathable open cell structure for better air circulation, making it a far superior mattress for your baby. And what's better is that it's a naturally derived renewable resource - so it's a good choice for the future of our environment.

Strong "Breather" Mattress Base - The mattress base has been cleverly designed with breather holes from top to bottom. This allows air to move freely throughout the cradle and ensures that your baby has the best air circulation possible. The cradle is designed with a pocket for the mattress base to slide into, ensuring that the base always stays horizontal the ground and your baby will not roll.

Phil and Teds Vibe

Here is a peak at the new Phil and Teds Vibe. It is not yet released in Australia, however it is going to be available from approximately mid to late April 2008.

The Phil and Teds Vibe differs from the sport buggy in a few ways. The most exciting difference is that the buggy folds with the double kit in tact. Another change is the vibe is made out of aluminium, so it is lighter than the current sport model.

The Vibe will retail for approximately $899.00 plus extra costs for the double conversion kit, sun cover etc.
