We have just taken delivery of the fantastic new colours for this season from Calin Bleu baby slings.
The Baby wraps are also extremely versatile: you can use the same baby sling as a front carrier, to pop baby on your hip, or as a baby carrier backpack. The same baby sling fits tall and small parents too, allowing parents of different sizes to use the same baby wrap. The classic colours will suit both mums and dads.
New for this season are slings in Tempting Green, Amazing Amber and Nicely Red
Many parents have been horrified by the news that the UK has failed to follow in the footsteps of the US by banning the use of Bisphenol-A in baby bottles.
As many as 130 studies have been conducted in recent years, linking even low levels of Bisphenol-A (also known as BPA, to serious health problems.
Concerned parents can by safe baby glass bottles from our store – they have been one of our best-selling products for many months.
Using glass bottles does not replace breastfeeding but can be appropriate in instances where a baby is given expressed breastmilk etc.
We are happy to advice any parent concerned by recent news reports.
You can find us on Free Green Market. A green shopping network that allows you to search through hundreds of organic, eco friendly and fairtrade products from a range of retailers. You can also get advice and information on green travel, green baby, green home, and many other eco friendly topics.
Here at The Natural Nursery we try lots of little ways to be eco-friendly – they all add up in the end.
One of these ways is to keep a very close eye on our packaging and the way we send parcels out to our customers.
We appreciate that you want your goods to arrive in a beautiful condition (we want that too) but on the other hand, you don’t want vast quantities of packaging to clog up your bin and then your local land fill site.
That is why we reuse as much packaging as we can – lots of our parcels go out in reused boxes and we reuse any packing materials our delieveries come in.
When we have to buy new packing materials, we try to make them as environmentally friendly as possible. We use bio-degradable bubble wrap and recycled cardboard to parcel up delicate items, our mailing sacks are made out of recycled or biodegradable plastics and the paper we print our delivery notes on is made from trees from sustainable forests and is 100% biodegradable – even the glue that sticks the label on the front of the parcel!
So does this all cost The Natural Nursery more? Well, yes it does. We charge what we think are fair postage and packing costs and absorb the extra ourselves.
We want you to get your goodies in perfect condition but we don’t want that to have a negative impact on the enviroment, so we are happy to pay a little bit extra to make this happen.
