Kneeling and bending over a baby bathtub can take its toll – but Charli Chair is here to take the stress away!

2. Soothing and gentle skin care
Aromababy’s comforting skin care range combines the use of natural and organic ingredients with neonatal research.
Their extensive collection of Australian-made skin care is rich in certified organic, natural oils including rosehip, calendula and vitamin E.
Aromababy’s Bath Gel is the perfect addition to your baby’s bath-time routine.
It’s a pure and gentle, sulphate-free cleansing gel with the certified organic essential oils of lavender and chamomile. These work together to both relax babies and help soothe and care for delicate skin.
Delight your baby with a soothing and calming massage before bed! Aromababy’s Massage Oil has a low allergenic blend of almond, evening primrose and calendula oils – an ideal first massage oil as it is entirely fragrance free.
The final step in your baby’s bath-time routine could be a soothing Balm that’s ideal for nappy rash, cradle cap and all types of dry skin. This product has a cult-like following and has been soothing skin for 25 years. The gentle formulation melts on contact with your baby’s skin, moisturising whilst providing a light barrier to help protect and care for even sensitive skin.

5. A soothing swaddle at bed-time
Mum of two, Lidya, has one simple mission: in the process of raising her children, she wants to take care of the planet that they will inherit and feel good about their choices.
This is why she founded One Eco Step, a range of baby essentials that are eco-friendly and affordable, and empower families to take small eco steps to help the planet.
When it comes to sleep-time, One Eco Step believes that the age-old tradition of swaddling newborn babies helps them to feel calm and secure as though cocooned in their mother’s womb.
Their luxuriously soft Natural Bamboo Muslin Swaddle is made from 100% bamboo viscose.
It’s as soft as cashmere and helps to keep your baby warm in winter and cool in summer and its breathable fabric helps to reduce the risk of overheating.
Swaddles are the perfect multi-purpose must-have item for new parents and at bed-time, can help your baby settle into a peaceful, comforting sleep.
