Organic cotton is used for the mattress cover. Coconut husks ensure a firm yet surprisingly springy support while the wool padding provides thermal insulating properties to help baby drift off into dreamland.

I came across this cute little organic nightgown while pregnant with our second and just couldn’t resist. Made with soft organic cotton with a smattering of chocolate bunnies, this little night gown kept our baby girl snuggly warm in her first few months. The cinched open bottom helps keep feet covered while providing handy access for diaper changes. Fold over cuffs protect baby from any scratches. If you are anything like me, I couldn’t bear having nail clippers anywhere near baby’s precious little fingers!
