This week, we celebrate not just a birthday but also the incredible journey of our founder, Lavinie and her passion for nurturing extends beyond her family to the community we treasure. As a mother of three, she reflects on her experiences and is excited to share her top five baby must-haves that have improved her parenting journey. Let's dive into her carefully chosen picks!

Lavinie's Pick: Earth Mama Baby Bottom Balm
This baby bottom balm is formulated using organic and natural ingredients designed to provide relief for diaper rashes and soothe your baby's delicate skin. Due to its organic formula, this balm is a must-have in every household— it is safe for even the most sensitive skin and works on minor burns, cradle caps, chafing, cuts, and more.
Lavinie’s Insight: "Use generously after every diaper change!". This method not only helps prevent rashes but also keeps your baby comfortable and happy as their skin remains protected and moisturised.
