There’s a Baby in the Parlour!
Friday, May 27th, 2011Things may have seemed a bit quiet for a while with Nature’s Parlour but I can assure you that we’ve been very busy behind the scenes…with a new baby!
Elijah was born at home in a water birthing pool on 15th March weighing 7lb 3oz. Â He’s a peaceful and happy baby and we feel very blessed to have him!
Those of you who know about my pregnancy and the birth (thank you for the best wishes!) have asked me what kind of skin/hair care regimine I have for him, well here it is:
We use coconut oil for his skin and hair after he has been top & tailed or bathed. Â We use a bit of aloe vera gel in his hair before the coconut oil, for ph balance (stops his hair from getting dry and brittle.)
If we’re going to give him an extra long baby massage session and want to use something other than coconut oil, we use sesame oil after his night time bath. Â We might add a couple drops of lavender essential oil to the sesame oil to promote relaxation and prepare him for bed.
If we’re receiving visitors or if we’re visiting people, we use Curly Qs Moist Curls Moisturiser in his hair followed by Curly Qs Gel-les’c and then brush his hair smooth. Â We wash his hair with Curly Qs Cleansing Cream.
In honour of our new addition, we’ll shortly be selling baby bum-bum balm as we don’t like to use petrochemicals on Elijah’s skin and use a natural “no-petroleum jelly”. Â We’d like to share it with you all, so watch this space!
