Flushable nappy liners  are made from soft paper, they are gentle on little bottoms for a happier baby. They are designed to have one way moisture control that helps prevent wetness from coming into contact with your baby’s skin. Nappy liners also help to protect your reusable nappies from heavy soiling, keeping your nappies looking fresher.

Natural Nursery customer Wendy gave flushable liners full marks and said:

Very happy with these, thank you ”

Since the Moby wraps over both shoulders, you can switch baby from side-to-side with no readjustment – all the time cradling them in cushy comfort.

What better way to stay warm this winter than by holding the one you love close whilst keeping your hands free!

Ciara left a review saying it was the ‘best baby buy’ and went on to say:

A key feature of the ErgoBaby Baby Carrier is its design – unlike some other baby carriers, it holds your baby in the anatomically correct position, so your baby is “seated” in the carrier rather than suspended from it.  Studies have shown that this is better for the development of your baby’s spine as it does not put undue pressure on developing bones.

For the parent, the Ergo is comfortable even for long carries and can be quickly adjusted to fit from 5′ to 6’5″ so it adapts well in families where the the parents have different body shapes or sizes.

We think this would make a wonderful present for any parents of babies or toddlers.

3. Ergo Baby Performance Carrier Review – “I’m Delighted”

She is using an Ergo Baby Carrier which is the best selling baby carrier at the Natural Nursery.  This baby carrier is suitable from birth to toddler and Pink also has a Heart2Heart Ergo Infant Insert which supports and cocoons newborns.

Pink is wearing the black and camel Ergo with a natural colour insert and her husband Carey Hart has the same sling in Cranberry.

This baby carrier also comes in solid camel and galaxy grey – I wonder if they have the full set!

Babies love new places! There’s so much to investigate and new things to touch. But many people aren’t too happy to have your little one crawling or toddling freely about the house exploring everything in sight. While you think its adorable that Baby found the Tupperware, your host may not think it’s cute that her tidy cabinet has been rearranged by sticky baby hands. If your host has a big heart she’ll let you know that your baby’s exploring is okay. But even then, you run the risk of your baby breaking or losing something.

Bring toys!

The best thing you can do is bring along a bag of toys to seize your child’s attention. You can purchase new items, or dig through your baby’s toy box to put together a collection of forgotten favorites. Avoid bringing loud toys that may annoy others, and bring toys that will hold your baby’s attention for a long time.

Bring your own supplies

Think about things that keep your baby happy at home or in the car, and bring these with you, such as your sling, a favorite blanket, a Boppy pillow, or a special lovey. If you are prepared, then your baby will be more content.

Safety issues

Visits with a mobile baby are tricky, especially if you’re at a home that isn’t childproof. If you want to avoid physically shadowing your baby around the house, bring a few safety tools, such as outlet plugs and a folding baby gate to section off stairways. When you arrive, assess the area and ask if chemicals, medications, or fragile vases can be put away during your visit. Remember that you’re certain to miss some hazards, so keep a close eye on Baby during your entire visit.

Food and eating

Whether your baby is new to solid food or has been eating it for a while, bring along a few favorites. If you don’t bring snacks with you, your baby may not touch the dinner that’s served and may cry for her favorite crackers. In any case, don’t feel you must push your baby to try something new to the point of a temper tantrum. Politely requesting something simple like toast or cheese is perfectly okay and will be welcomed more than a loud and tense test of parent/child wills.

What if you’re breastfeeding and your baby is hungry?

Do what comes naturally: Feed him! Breastfeeding is the most natural way to feed a baby. If your hosts aren’t used to seeing a mother breastfeed, then you’re doing our world a favor by introducing one more person to the beauty of baby feeding. Be thoughtful about other’s sensitivities. This doesn’t mean you need to hide, but your efforts to be discreet are a courtesy for those around you and may help others feel more comfortable about seeing you breastfeeding your baby. Using a sling, blanket or nursing shirt are easy ways to accomplish this.

Changing Diapers

Bring a changing pad; this will protect the surface you’re using. If you don’t have a pad, ask for a towel. Ask where your host prefers that you change the baby, or suggest a location: “Do you mind if I lay the towel on your bed to change the baby?”

Bring along (or ask to use) plastic bags to store messy diapers. Make sure that they are sealed so that they don’t create odors. If you use disposables, put used diapers in a sealed bag and offer to take them out to the trash. People don’t like stinky diapers in their bathroom trash.

Sleeping and napping

If your little one sleeps in a cradle or crib you may want to bring along a portable crib. If you don’t have one, or if you co-sleep at home, this is a time when “anything goes.” If your baby will sleep in your arms, then go ahead and enjoy an in-arms nap. If your baby is flexible, put a blanket on the floor and set up a sleeping nest. Don’t leave Baby alone, since the area probably isn’t childproof.

A great nap solution is to bring your car seat into the house and strap your baby in securely, or fashion a bed from a large box or an empty dresser drawer. Keep your baby close by or check on her frequently.

For co-sleepers, your first order of business is to create a safe sleeping place. Inspect the furniture placement in the bedroom. If you know that pushing the bed against the wall would make the situation safer for your baby, then politely explain to your host. Let her know that you’ll move it back before you leave (and then remember to do so).

Be prepared for anything

Life with a baby is filled with surprises. Take a deep breath, and do your best to keep your baby content….and if things don’t go as well as you’d hoped, remind yourself that “This too shall pass.”

Show your appreciation

If you’ve had an overnight stay, if your host is helpful, or if you made special requests during your stay, remember to send a thank you note that expresses your appreciation.

“Great Carrier

I’ve ordered this carrier as a replacement for my Eco AngelPack. There was nothing wrong with my existing carrier, but I always wanted an Ergo and can afford it now, but couldn’t then (it is pricey). I chose Ergo performance because I was promised it weighs less than standard ergo and I loved the green colour
I received the package promptly and I have to say that I am delighted with the carrier. It has nothing majorly different from my AngelPack, but it is better in many ways. For example, ergo is all in one piece – you can’t lose a chest strap. It’s easy to pop on and off. And there’s A LOT of extra strap length. Unfortunately my old carrier didn’t have very long straps, so hip carry was not possible.

The booklet was very helpful, explaining how to get baby on back, front or hip. Overall I’m satisfied with it. Rain hood is also nice. Bottom line – it is expensive, but I feel it is comfortable and well made so worth it. Service was very good too.
