A couple years ago when I was doing some volunteer work for National Premmie Day,  I was given a couple of these plants from Amanda who was then the president of Loddon Mallee Kids.  July marks the anniversary of my gorgeous premmie baby girls Lara and Victoria  and so it has extreme significance to me this rose.  It will be 9 years this year, I just cannot believe it.

Since having planted it, The Children’s Rose looks beautiful and has grown beautifully and its a very special way to remember my precious premature baby girls all 3 of them, but also reminds me of my beautiful friend  Amanda who gave them to me.    I will always remember her kindness ….

Never under estimate the power of a simple gesture.

Thanks Amanda (left) with Belinda and Bianca.

There are many people in our and YOUR community who do amazing things to help others.  Those like  the 3 girls who have done amazing things with Loddon Mallee Kids and National Premmie Foundation, are often unsung hero’s.

NOW is your chance to nominate someone you know for the Local Premmie Hero awards.

Time is running out and submissions will close very soon… so please, make your way over and nominate someone you think is deserving of this award.

Organic Premmie Baby Clothing from Lambykins

Angela owner of Lambykins™ and Elizabeth owner of La Toriana® two country Mums, have been friends for over 20 years. Angela supported Elizabeth through three premature babies, two of whom became angels. Elizabeth vividly remembers the emotional rollercoaster ride and how it was traumatic enough without being able to find clothing made specifically for premmie bubs. She was told by a nurse to go to the toy store and purchase “cabbage patch” dolls clothes or have them specially made.

“It was the last thing I needed: my babies were vulnerable enough without seeing them in dolls clothes or oversized hospital-issued garments. I longed to have some nice clothes for my baby that actually fitted and were suitable for the NICU,” Elizabeth explains.

      Angela from Lambykins and Elizabeth from La Toriana.

Lambykins™ was established in 2004 and is renowned for producing a luxurious range of Australian-made merino blankets and baby clothing. After seeing what Elizabeth went through Angela was inspired to produce not just a gorgeous Organic Premmie Collection but a collection with meaning.

Each garment depicts a unique hand-drawn design and comes with a special poem on its swing tag that offers support and understanding for the parents of precious premmie bubs.

The designs, style, quality and attention to detail portray the core of the Lambykins™ brand. The Organic Premmie Collection of pants, jackets, sleeveless tops, bodysuits, hats and wraps come in 3 attractive ecodyed colours of blue, pink and ecru. The garments are safe to use in the NICU and come in true premmie sizes from 800 grams to 7kg (up to 3 months).

Elizabeth, a volunteer and sponsor of local and national premmie baby groups, donates a % of sales from her Premmie baby category.

La Toriana is fast becoming renowned for quality, stylish and affordable designer collections as well as for providing exceptional customer service.

 

Just released is gorgeous organic cotton `Premmie Nature Range’for precious premmie babies and newborns. Sizes will range from 800 grams to 00 (7kg)  

Contemporary prints beautifully handcrafted on pink, blue and ecru coloured outfits will ensure a special garment for your baby. Prints include leaf, giraffe, butterfly, flower, bird and tree designs.

I have never before seen such gorgeous quality of organic premmie baby wear and I love the designs… and am sure you will too.

Lambykins has researched well, and as such are able to provide quality premmie clothing.  Years before, premmie baby clothing was unheard of and we all were told to buy or make dolls clothes.  “How inappropriate”

now there is choice… and not only that there are affordable designer collections for new born babies and babies born prematurely.

Lambykins understand the need for specialised premmie baby clothing, and clothing that’s eco friendly to allow us to give our babies the best possible chance to their early start in life.  This new collection is great for newborn bubs up to 6 months, but also for small neonatal babies in isolette and cribs and have adapted clothing to suit the needs of specialise equipment in hospital and beyond.

Each garment comes with a heartfelt poem that’s so fitting of the moment and for our so precious premature newborns.  A perfect baby gift.

This collection helps La Toriana premature baby clothing section become one of the largest, stylish and most affordable collection of premmie baby clothing online!

all you need to do is reply to this blog post below and tell us what your favourite product or designer at La Toriana is and what you like about it.

Easy Peasy!!

maybe your fav is a baby bib by Vanchi,  PJ’s by Lazybones or organic lip balm by Oopsidaisi?… no matter what it is we would love to know!  Post your thoughts below!

and dont forget…

There are so many harmful chemicals in paints, dyes, glues and other things for baby toys and baby gifts and baby products not to mention toddlers and kids toys.  And  baby clothes?  well so many companies “claim” to be of organic materials, but have proven not to be.

At La Toriana, we are sourcing  options for organic baby gifts, clothes and toys.  Many mums are eco friendly conscious and love being able to provide their babies and kids with as much eco friendly and organic products as possible.  At La Toriana, we love, and our proud of the many great organic products we have in our  online baby boutique… some which you will be hard pressed to find elsewhere online.

 Have you seen or even tried our organic and eco friendly products?  babyJo have amazingly soft organic baby clothing that is 100% organic bamboo.  The organic cotton baby clothing from Lambykins, which include organic cotton T shirts, baby pants, warps and bibs. Organic T’s from Huggalugs and the eco friendly wooden toys from anamalz. 

The new oopsidaisi organic lip balm thats great for kids, mums and anyone, and their organic lavender products like their babushka sachets that are great for any room of the house and my favourite, as a sleep and relaxation aid for my daughter at bedtime.  If you are looking for quality organic baby skincare and bath products you cant go past the organic Gaia Skin Natural  range

No matter what… the Australian organic products for baby and kids are fast becoming something that all you Australian and mums are looking for. 

I dont blame you… I am too!
