This week is world breastfeeding week! So here’s a big shout-out to all the amazing mamas working hard to feed their little ones. Breast or bottle, you’re doing a great job, and we understand the lengths you have to go to sometimes, to ensure tiny tummies get the very best. It’s a little tricky to try and pump in a bee suit, in the truck, driving off-road in the middle of a forest while dodging pig hunters 😳 Luckily we managed without encountering an audience. It would have made for an interesting sight! 😂 Thank goodness for portable breast pumps!

In honour of show us your bee-themed butts!! 💛🐝
One of the things we knew we wanted to do, even before little Lottie joined us earth side, was to use cloth nappies. If it was good enough for our mums, our mums' mums and our mums' mums' mums, then surely we could manage it! Especially after finding out some pretty dire facts about disposables:
👶🏼The average baby will be changed 5,000-6,000 times
🚮Disposable nappies are essentially single-use plastic
⚠️They take 500 years to breakdown in landfill
😱It takes a cup of crude oil to make just ONE single use nappy
🧪Many disposable nappies contain nasty chemicals (think wetness indicators), the likes of which you don't want anywhere near your precious bundle
🌲Every year, we cut down millions of trees to manufacture the pulp for nappies that will be used for - at most - only a few hours
💵Cloth nappies, when cared for correctly, can be re-used across multiple children and can be on-sold, saving you money and recouping some of the cost

💧But what about all the washing you ask? Well, given that it takes about 1,550 litres of water to manufacture enough single-use nappies for a week. Using cloth nappies means consuming nearly TEN TIMES LESS water per week to wash them (around 200L).

Do you (or did you) use cloth nappies? Post your bee-themed bee-hinds and show your favourite kiwi cloth nappy company some 💚by tagging them below!

In light of it being Mother’s Day this past Sunday, we thought it timely to share with you the reason why we’ve been M.I.A. lately. Little Miss Lottie Lou joined us exactly 6 weeks ago today and we couldn’t be more in love!

She made a fairly long and drawn out (overdue) entry into the world, but we cannot praise our wonderful midwife and all the amazing staff at Whangarei hospital enough. They are incredible, and we are so lucky in New Zealand to receive the level of care that we do, for free!

A huge thank you to our family and friends, who have been so supportive as we transition into parenthood whilst still trying to run a business. It’s certainly not easy!

We appreciate all the lovely messages from you, our customers, and of course your patience while it takes us a tad longer than usual to send your orders out and reply to emails - thank you for understanding! 💛🐝

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing women out there doing a fabulous job of raising the next generation. The biological mums, step mums, adopted mums, foster mums, god mums, fur mums, aunties, grand mums, great grand mums, mums-to-be and those wishing, hoping and praying they will one day be mums. You are all Queens and today we celebrate you! Have a wonderful day 💛
