New Catalogue, Fancy French Restaurants and Gold Winning Streaks!



What better way to celebrate our 6th birthday and our best selling nappies from Cotton Babies winning 3 GOLD Awards, than by jetting off to Harrogate! We met up with our lovely graphic design pals Scott, Karl and Tania and had great fun designing the new Natural Baby Resource catalogue.
We're putting the finishing touches to it now so it should be ready very soon. It's jam packed with clever new products so you'll be just as excited about it as we are! If you'd like one delivered straight to your door just drop me an email and you'll get one pronto (niamh@babame.com). Order now to give you plenty of time before the Christmas rush!

So we've been jumping for joy about the catalogue, but imagine how we felt when we found out that bumGenius has been on a GOLD Winning Streak! The nappy, from Cotton Babies, has just won GOLD at the Practical Parenting Awards adding to the 2 GOLD Awards & one BRONZE that Cotton Babies took home from the Practical Pre-School Awards last week!

Get the award winning bumGenius nappy now by visiting www.thenaturalbabyresource.co.uk
or for more info call our terrific team for a chat on +44 (0)2830 848 020.

All in all it's been a wonderful week for Team NBR! We had a brilliant time in Harrogate and even managed a glass of wine in our hotel despite having to ring the front door bell to get it (odd - we know!). A big thanks to our fab friend Scott who looked after us and even took us out to a fancy French restaurant with great food and even better wine. Next time though we will not be parking in the blue carpark at Dublin Airport, it is actually miles away! You have been warned!

NBR are taking the hottest must have products home from Germany!

We've just spent four fantastic days at the Kind und Jugend fair in Germany picking only the best natural products to add to our super range. We're really happy about the products we've selected and we can't wait to get them in-store!

First up it's Flip - the genius new brand from Cotton Babies, the makers of bumGenius! The One-Size nappy system is a must have for all you on-the-go parents as it enables you to 'flip' between your choice of insert with a simple no-mess, no-fuss, flip! It even supports a disposable insert that is up to 97% BIODEGRADABLE - Flip Travel!! Now you have the option of a reuseable disposable system, perfect for holidays, day care or any-time you simply demand a disposable!
Flip comes complete with stretchy tabs (which we love), a snap closure, and your choice of insert - Organic or Stay-Dry.

The second product from the new bumGenius line is Econobum. A beautiful white reusable birth to potty nappy system, retailing at only £90!! Perfect for cash-strapped parents, Econobum offers the quality you'd expect from bumGenius at an incredibly affordable price. You can also use the fab Flip Travel disposable inserts in your Econobum nappy - great news!

Finally we found a innovative new product that's a must have for any breastfeeding mummy. It's called mama2 - a 100% natural herbal remedy that helps increase your supply of breast milk! We understand it can be difficult to increase your supply - especially during periods of growth, so we're bringing in mama2 to give you the confidence you deserve. It has been developed with lactation experts using only natural ingredients. The formula contains Goats Rue Seeds and Fenugreek which are renowned for their assistance with breastfeeding and are highly recommended by lactation consultants.

Well it has been a busy week - aside from picking these top products we've also been serenaded by a German Elvis impersonator, wined and dined on the River Rhine, and we may have had one too many Mojito's. But at last we are back and brimming with excitement about our top picks coming soon to The Natural Baby Resource.

If you have any questions about any of our new products we'd love to help - just contact us below or call our shop on +44 (0)2830 848 020.

The One Million Pound Question - What Do I Buy A Newborn Baby?

Someone you know is expecting a little bundle of joy and you want to get them a nice gift to mark the birth, but with so many choices out there it's hard to decide.
Don't worry we're here to help!

We understand what you are going through - you want something practical, a gift that will be used and will be beneficial to mother and/or baby. To make it really easy for you, we've asked nearly every mother we know and compiled our some top newborn gift ideas. Here they are...

Contribution
Find out where the parents hope to buy the pram/car seat from and pop in to buy a voucher which they can use towards the purchase! 

Nappies
This is one essential every newborn needs! Why not help out by discussing re-useable nappies with the parents, you could even buy them a starter pack to try as an alternative to disposables. The multi-award winning eco-friendly BumGenius range would be perfect, they come in an adjustable one size or as an all in one solution. They are on offer now - buy 6 get 1 free! 

Essentials gift box
Recycle an old cardboard box from a supermarket or use a spare one you have at home. Stock up on newborn essentials such as: Oeko-tex certified baby vests range available from The Natural Baby Resource; Jackson Reece herbal baby wipes £2.59 per pack of 72 wipes (with no alcohol, parabens, SLS or SLES they are perfect for baby and biodegradable); a stay-put car seat blanket starting from just £15.66; and a baby towel such as our bamboo range now on offer at just £6 per towel!

Grobag Baby Sleep Bag
The award-winning safe alternative to sheets and blankets. Grobag baby sleeping bags ensure the baby is kept warm all night, and as they are enclosed at the bottom babies can't kick them off - this means not only do babies get more sleep, but so do mums! Starting from just £24.95.


If you have any questions we'd be very happy to help. Write them below and we'll answer them ASAP.
