Amoralia's "Love From" Giftset - The Perfect Gift?


We love the idea of giving a new mama a gift that will pamper her as well as a gift for baby too and now it just got a whole lot easier with Amoralia's "Love From" giftset.

With a super-stylish nightdress for mama (with easy nursing access and just the right amount of feminine touches like the frill detail) and a cute babygrow made from supersoft bamboo with trim that matches the nightdress, this may just be the best (and cutest) new mama gift ever. And it comes packaged in a sweet muslin bag with a gifttag so that's another thing taken care of! $87.50 from Purl Mama & Baby.

Canada First to Ban Bisphenol A in Baby Bottles



Bouquets to Ottawa for leading the way in banning the chemical bisphenol A commonly used in polycarbonate baby bottles.

The Department of Health announced earlier this month that bpa has been officially added to its list of toxic substances and regulations prohibiting the importation, sale and advertising of baby bottles containing bpa will come into force in Canada in 2009. The government has also set aside $1.7 million over the next three years for research into the effects of bpa.

To celebrate this exciting news Purl Mama & Baby is delighted to offer a 10% discount* on Green to Grow and ThinkBaby bpa-free bottles. Click here to save.


* offer valid until October 31 2008.

New Maternity Collections From Egg by Susan Lazar and Ramalama


Two of our favourite brands have just launched their hotly anticipated new maternity collections. Susan Lazar, the designer behind the gorgeous Egg Baby clothing range has just announced the launch of her new maternity range and Australian designers Ramalama, creators of luxe leather bags that don't scream diaper bag, have released their Organic Maternity Essentials range.

Egg Maternity's design philosophy is simple yet sophisticated, comfortable and chic and their new collection of basic pieces with a modern twist promises clothes that mamas will love to wear - layered separates of supple jersey in a beautiful palette of earth tones - and because Egg Maternity doesn't look like typical maternity wear, they can be worn after baby arrives. The collection is due in stores spring 2009.

Ramalama's Organic Maternity Essentials range features a soft blend of organic cotton and elastane (for just the right amount of stretch) with bamboo for its silk like feel. And in keeping with Ramalama's eco approach the wrap dresses, tees and singlets have all been dyed with gentle organic dyes.

Watch this space for updates on where to buy.

Maternally Beautiful


We are loving the new collection from Australian designer extraordinaire Stephanie Schell. Featured this week on Babyology, one of our favourite blogs for all things mama and baby, the collection features luxurious maternity and breastfeeding clothes with simple, elegant lines.

Each piece has been cleverly designed to easily translate into breastfeeding pieces post-pregnancy with the addition of discreet breastfeeding access (such as invisible zippers). The clothes are undoubtedly gorgeous but the emphasis is also on comfort with fabrics like silk and cotton jerseys, chiffon and stretch silk satins.

Currently the collection is only available in Australia. Check here for online stockists (the collection should be available online this month).
