WHAT YOUR BOX INCLUDES:

• Muslin bath towel: It is important as parents to ensure that bath time is a relaxing time for your baby. Make sure he's nice and warm when he gets out of the bath with our towel made from 100% organic cotton muslin. It will be perfect for the comfort of your newborn. 

• Ultra absorbent washcloths (5): As a parent, you will quickly notice that baby will sometimes have regurgitation after feeding. They are a mixture of milk and saliva. They usually occur just after feedings, when the contents of the stomach rise up towards the esophagus. Some babies spit up a lot more than others. But don't worry, it's completely normal. In any case, it is always practical to have on hand a washcloth that ABSORBS quickly and effectively. We offer you a super absorbent and gentle product for baby's body. You can also use them for bath time. And what’s more, these washcloths are made from organic cotton. We love it!

• Breathable swaddling cover:  The essential muslin to have on hand! We can never have enough muslins, believe us! It is made of 70% bamboo and 30% cotton, which makes it super soft to the touch. Not to mention that it is large: 120 cm x 120 cm. Your blanket will be perfect for swaddling your newborn. Swaddling consists of wrapping your baby in a blanket to limit his movements. The feeling of being wrapped reminds him of life in his mother's womb. This practice reassures and calms your baby. It could also help your baby fall asleep more easily and sleep longer. This could be explained by the fact that swaddling prevents the startles that often occur during babies' sleep and which wake them up. To find out how to swaddle your newborn safely, we invite you to consult this link from Naître et Grandir (see) .

• Nasal irrigator (2): The function of the nose is to filter, humidify and warm the air. However, this “filter” must be clean to be effective! A congested nose prevents your baby from breathing freely and can interfere with sleep and eating. Since they cannot blow their nose alone, it is not easy for them to manage these secretions. They therefore need their parents to help them breathe better. Regular nasal hygiene carried out with saline solution eliminates secretions and particles. Start your child's nasal hygiene from birth and continue it until the age of 7 or 8, and longer, if necessary. Nasal hygiene should be done with a saline solution. This can be prepared at home or sold in pharmacies or supermarkets. You will find a homemade preparation recipe on the back of the package as well as the quantities to give to your child according to his age. If you want to understand which technique to use on your newborn, we invite you to consult this link from CHU Ste-Justine (see) . 

• Set of 4 baby brushes: A perfect set to take care of your baby's scalp. You will find a natural goat hair brush which is incredibly soft and offers unparalleled comfort, a wooden brush, a wooden comb and a soft silicone massager. The goat hair brush is ideal for the sensitive scalp of newborns. It conditions hair and distributes natural oils along the hair shaft. It is perfect for massaging the heads of babies with “cradle cap”. Seborrhea of ​​the head, also called "cap" or "cradle cap", is a harmless, non-contagious and common condition among infant. It is caused by an excess of fatty secretions (sebum) produced by the sebaceous glands located at the roots of the hair. It generally appears in the first 6 months of the child's life, very often from the 2nd^th week of life peaking around 3 months of age. And finally, as for the silicone massager, you can use it on his head or even on his body. All you have to do is add soap or baby oil directly to it. What's better than giving him a little massage! And if baby is not born with hair, don't worry, your brushes will be useful one day! 

• Delicate body and hair soap: Bath time will be more pleasant thanks to this soap with enveloping aromas. Made up of top quality ingredients, including extra virgin olive oil, this ultra-gentle treatment ensures that body and hair are cleansed in no time. It contains aloe water and olive oil, and is made with extremely gentle foaming agents of plant origins that are suitable for sensitive skin. It contains pro-vitamin B5 (panthenol) which makes hair stronger and shinier in addition to having anti-inflammatory qualities. Not to mention that it is completely biodegradable. 

• Moisturizing lotion: We offer you a rich moisturizing treatment based on extra-virgin olive oil and premium ingredients, which caresses little ones' skin and leaves a silky finish. Did you know that the skin is naturally protected by a thin layer made up of fat and water? In newborns, this protective layer is sometimes renewed less quickly than in an older child, because its sebaceous glands are immature. This is why babies' skin can sometimes look rough, scab and peel instead of being supple and soft. We therefore invite you to apply this lotion with love and gentleness to areas of healthy or dry skin after bathing and on every occasion dictated by your parental instinct.

• Cream for the buttocks: This creamy diaper cream is made from a rich blend of olive oil, olive butter and beeswax. This slightly alkaline and disinfectant treatment has remarkable antifungal and antibacterial properties. It helps destroy fungi and bacterial invasions that cause diaper rash. But what exactly is diaper rash? It is a skin inflammation caused by prolonged contact of the baby's skin with a diaper soiled with stool or urine. It can also be caused by irritation from the detergent or fabric softener used to wash cloth diapers or when cloth diapers are improperly rinsed, or by a substance present in disposable diapers of certain brands. Diarrhea can also have this effect. Although benign and usually without serious consequences, diaper rash is painful. This is why we suggest having this butt cream on hand!

• Bottle:  This cute baby bottle with its teddy bear ears is specially designed for babies from birth. Made of plastic, it is BPA, nitrosamine, phthalate and latex free. It is unanimously appreciated by babies and parents. Be aware that there are a variety of pacifiers on the market. Some differ in size, shape and flexibility. There is no best choice, however a pacifier may be better suited to your baby's sucking. This is why it may be best to try out a few models to find the one your baby likes best.

To all these new parents who will soon discover this little being who has been hiding for 9 months, congratulations and enjoy every moment! They grow so fast...  And they will never stop amazing you!
