Without a word of a lie, these two gorgeous gals were named Heidi and Lucy, so it's no stretch that they are now known as Heidi and Lou. Lou is the good looking one on the right.

Amber Teething Necklace - Special
We've had a bit of a "jhoozh' on the site and our Amber Teething Necklaces have been rephotographed so it's even easier to choose which colour you are after plus we've taken $10 off the price so they are all now only $29. Amber is a natural pain relief for teething pain whilst the large majority of parents start out as sceptics, once they see the difference in dribble, and grizzle from their little ones, they see for themselves why parents rave about amber necklaces.
Here's the shots from our latest photo shoot with the super cute Hunter and his elder brother Rico - what adorable little guys they are!
Hunter is wearing the new colour we called 'Rainbow' and Rico has the 'Dark' colour necklace on.
Honey and Lemon are arriving any day or check out the current collection in store

The Evolution of a Mother
This is an oldie but a goodie - if you've had more than 1 child I bet you find yourself nodding along!
Your Clothes
1st baby: You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as you confirm your pregnancy.
2nd baby: You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible.
3rd baby: Your maternity clothes are your regular clothes.
The Baby's Name
1st baby: You pore over baby-name books and practice pronouncing and writing combinations of all your favorites.
2nd baby: Someone has to name their kid after your great-aunt Mavis, right? It might as well be you.
3rd baby: You open a name book, close your eyes, and see where your finger falls. Bimaldo? Perfect!
Preparing for the Birth
1st baby: You practice your breathing religiously.
2nd baby: You don't bother practicing because you remember that last time, breathing didn't do a thing.
3rd baby: You ask for an epidural in your 8th month.
The Layette
1st baby: You prewash your newborn's clothes, color-coordinate them, and fold them neatly in the baby's little bureau.
2nd baby: You check to make sure that the clothes are clean and discard only the ones with the darkest stains.
3rd baby: Boys can wear pink, can't they?
Worries
1st baby: At the first sign of distress--a whimper, a frown--you pick up the baby.
2nd baby: You pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake your firstborn.
3rd baby: You teach your 3-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing.
Activities
1st baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics, Baby Swing, and Baby Story Hour.
2nd baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics.
3rd baby: You take your infant to the supermarket and the dry cleaner.
Going Out
1st baby: The first time you leave your baby with a sitter, you call home 5 times.
2nd baby: Just before you walk out the door, you remember to leave a number where you can be reached.
3rd baby: You leave instructions for the sitter to call only if she sees blood.
At Home
1st baby: You spend a good bit of every day just gazing at the baby.
2nd baby: You spend a bit of every day watching to be sure your older child isn't squeezing, poking, or hitting the baby.
3rd baby: You spend a little bit of every day hiding from the children.
I think there should be one for photography too. I know I took hundreds of pictures of baby number 1, baby number 2 is lucky to feature in the odd picture when I remember, poor thing!
Anyone got any more?

Medela Calma
What it also is, is a genuine solution to mums that plan to go back to work after baby and want to continue breastfeeding as part of that. (yes, you most definitely can keep breastfeeding even returning to work full or part time!)
If breastfeeding breaks aren't a possible option, then expressing and bottles will be and the deal with the Calma feeding system, is that milk will only flow if the baby works and creates vacuum to get it - in as close a way as possible to feeding directly at the breast.
With Calma:
- Mum only needs one type of teat throughout her breastfeeding duration.
- Baby can feed, pause and breathe regularly.
- Milk will not flow unless a vacuum is created.
- Milk flow stops when the baby relaxes to pause and breathe.
- The baby’s natural sucking rhythm will be maintained, enabling easy transition back to the breast.
The Calma is a teat specifically designed for bottle feeding breast milk but we recommend you abandon thoughts of breastpumps and bottles UNTIL you have established breastfeeding. This might take 2 weeks, it might take 6 or longer!
