Organico Bantry

We are adding Little Comfort Real Cloth Nappies to our Online Shop. We are offering a great limited offer of 20% off on the Little Comfort Full Starter Pack, which contains all you need to make Real Nappies work. The secret is to have enough nappies so that you can wash every 2/3 days or twice a week, and the Full Pack allows this flexibility.

Little Comfort is an Irish company based in Donegal. Their nappies are very well designed, with one size fitting new-born up to toddler, and are made from bamboo which is very absorbent. They are a great fit, and close with poppers, not a pin in sight! Each nappy comes with 2 boosters that pop in which make them very easy to dry. I can say from experience that these nappies are easy to use, even my husband recommends them!

Why Use Real Nappies?

Real Nappies save the environment – in Ireland approximately 600,000 nappies are used every day and the environmental impact of this hardly bears thinking about. Disposable nappies take 100′s of years to break down, not to mention the environmental cost in producing and shipping them. So using Real Nappies is a very easy way to reduce you carbon footprint.

Real Nappies also save you money. Read more…

We are delighted to be stocking Real Nappies made by Little Comfort, an Irish Company based in Co Donegal.

The Luxury Bamboo Nappy pack is now available in our online baby shop here and we are currently running a limited offer with 20% discount!

Their nappies are made from Bamboo, a highly absorbent very eco friendly material which also happens to be really soft! Even better, it’ a one size nappy, which means it has really clever poppers for the smaller bottom and extenders for when tummies get really fat!

I have been using these nappies for over a month now, and it is so much easier than I had expected. I spent ages researching trying to find the best nappy out there, but really I was scared that even though I felt I HAD to try them out, I wouldn’t be able to make the whole soaking/washing/drying thing work. Well, I don’t know why I was so worried, it’s absolutely fine! We use them all day but not at night (not taking any risks with her waking up!). My husband finds them really easy to use. I don’t know if I found the best one, I didn’t try them all, but Little Comfort Nappies are fantastic.

We are running a great promotion at the moment, with 20% off the Full Pack and the Day Pack if you join our Baby Club (it’s free to join!). So come in and try -you’ll be just as relieved as I am not to be throwing out all those bags of nappies, I’m sure!

We love Eco Balls from Ecozone, an English company who make great eco-friendly products. Eco Balls are an alternative to laundry detergent, and from my expereince they clean pretty much everything including baby’s nappies (they are especially good for this since they are anti-bacterial).

You use 3 of them in your washing machine and together they produce ionized oxygen that activate the water molecules naturally and allows them to penetrate deep into clothing fibres to lift dirt away. One set of balls lasts 1000 washes; they soften your water which acts like fabric conditioner; on lightly soiled clothes you can use them on their own and for heavily soiled clothes just use a splash of detergent. . Great value and great for the environment too!

This month we even have a special offer – 15% off! So come and try them out!

Introducing food to babies

What and when to feed your baby is a very individual process that has to suit both parent and baby, and more often than not will be dictated by your baby’s preferences anyway. Having just negotiated and explored the world of food with my baby I wanted to share some thoughts, recipes and ideas. For all babies it is advised to avoid dairy and gluten for the first year, which suits perfectly a healthy whole food diet. It is recommended to exclusively breastfeed your baby for the first six months and then start to introduce solids, however all babies are different. My baby boy, Archer, was really interested in food by 14 or 15 weeks, so not even four months, making a goldfish mouth whenever he saw us eating which was highly amusing! He then became really hungry; waking for feeds every hour and a half in the night when he had been sleeping much better!! So I read the signs, and although I was exclusively breastfeeding, started to give him solids around 16 weeks. The WHO guidelines state that Read more…

I’ve recently had my first baby, so this month I am going to focus on all things baby-related! Everyone wants a healthy, happy baby. A calm relaxed parent is one important key to having a happy baby and I’ve found that by informing myself on all kinds of approaches to parenting I’ve been able to make my own way. When it comes to baby health, naturally I’m a fan of using natural products. By reducing the chemicals and additives that your baby is exposed to in your home, on your baby’s skin, in their food, and in your food you are giving your baby a great start to life.

Organico Baby Club

As well as being amazing, having a new baby in the house can be confusing, expensive and traumatic! I have decided to launch a Baby Club at Organico to try to help reduce the confusion and cost of new parenthood. The Organico Baby Club will give members access to useful information, new parent get-togethers, and lots of discounts on nappies, food, formula, wipes and other essentials at Organico. Membership is free, just call in and sign up. The Baby Club Goodie bag contains a great article on healthy weaning by Jessica Mason (Jess works in Organico kitchen and is a fantastic cook!).

Organico is expanding further into the natural baby market. Unsurprising, given my recent arrival! We already stock Nanny formula, Nature Care nappies, Hipp organic formula, Ella’s Kitchen organic (delicious) pouches, Holle dried baby food and a selection of Hipp baby finger foods as well as miscellaneous items. Soon though we will have Little Comfort Cloth nappies and a range of bulk buy offers that will be extended to our Baby Club members. I’m thinking at the moment of giving 10% off if someone buys 4 packs of nappies, 4 packs of wipes, that kind of thing. Hopefully, we will eventually roll these offers out online also!
