"Organic 2 in 1 Maternity and Nursing Top" from Mama Cocoon
Price £19.99

Fashionable organic cotton / lycra top.
Suitable during all stages of pregnancy thanks to the very stretchy fabric, and it also has a secret double layer at the top designed to allow discreet and easy access when feeding your baby.

You don't have to be pregnant or nursing to buy this top - I'm neither, and I love the flattering cross-over neckline and comfortable fabric.

Available in black or white, in sizes 10-18.

Ecological

"Felt Faerytale Baby Shoes"
from Magic Pumpkins and Faery Dust.
Price £16.00

Cute limited edition handmade baby shoes.

Made from a recycled woollen jumper, which has been boiled to make it felt, and tied with a wide gingham ribbon.

Would make a lovely gift, as they are presented in a little tulle bag filled with stars.
