Organic Cloth Nappy Service – Little Beach Bums
Not exactly a maternity service, its definitely something to look into while on maternity leave. While everyone knows the benefits of cloth nappies for the environment, did you know they are also better for your baby ? Disposable nappies are made from all sorts of things that are probably best not in direct contact with a babies sensitive skin, including heavily treated pulp, glues, dyes, and synthetic perfumes. Cloth organic nappies are a much gentler alternative.
I’ve just been reading an article by a photography friend about something that really strikes a chord with me – photographing families with additonal needs. Joanne is a fantastic special needs and disabilities family photographer in Hertfordshire, Uk. Having two children with additional needs herself she’s certainly got the experience & knowledge on how to make photography sessions relaxed and stress free for all types of families.
Some good services for pregnant women in your area. Love the idea of the organic cloth nappy service. Very environmentally friendly.
