Spring has sprung! Which, in Australia, means we’re officially in baby-season. That’s right—on our side of the world, more people are born in September and October than any other month.
Which means … baby showers!
In this baby shower gift-guide, we’ve compiled our top favourite gifts for all the mums-to-be out there, as well as their soon-to-be-born bubs.
1. Cub & Bear Co Sage Green Natural Rubber Dummy
A classic—you can’t go wrong with this dummy and there’s no doubt it’ll come in handy. This Cub & Bear Co Natural Rubber Dummy is made from a single piece of pure natural rubber (so it is plastic free and safe from separating parts). It contains no BPA, parabens or other nasties. This dummy utilises a large cherry teat, making it easier to hold in, and a big shield that touches their nose to emulate the feeling and comfort of breastfeeding. The use of soft rubber also triggers this association.
2. Springfield Essential Oil Trio – Women’s Wellness
This trio of essential oils features Clary Sage, Ylang Ylang, and Rose Geranium—perfect to use as massage oil, to incorporate into skin care routines, or to use in diffusers. This range of oils stimulates women’s wellness, with benefits for skin health, fatigue, nausea, headache, mood, and hormonal balance.
3. Willow By the Sea Belly Butter
Your mum-to-be won’t pass this one up! This Australian-made belly butter is made from 100% organic Australian ingredients including shea butter and almond oil, and helps to lock in moisture and support skin elasticity as the belly expands throughout pregnancy.
4. GAIA Natural Baby Sleeptime Bath
GAIA Natural Baby Sleeptime Bath provides a relaxing bath experience, containing organic primrose oil to gently cleanse the new bub’s skin, keeping it soft and supple without causing dryness. This gentle cleanser is pH balanced and free from artificial fragrances, soap, sulphates, paraben preservatives, propylene glycol and petrochemicals, making it more suitable for sensitive skin and eczema.
5. Wotnot Naturals – Natural Baby Sunscreen
The sun’s rays are getting stronger as we approach the end of the year, so make sure your expecting friends and families are prepared and equipped to protect their young one’s precious, sensitive skin! This natural sunscreen is suitable for babies three-months and older, with aloe vera, zinc oxide, and jojoba oil to nourish and protect their skin.
