Natural Safe Dummies



Lets face it some babies love their dummies. There is no need to feel guilty as a mum any more! I remember the first time i gave my son a dummy i felt like a failure of a mother. There is so much negativity surrounding the dummy. If only these beauties were available when I had Vomitron, i would have gladly given him one. I did try when i recieved the one i had bought, but he prefers his thumb. The firs thing that caught my attention was the size of the dummy. But after reading some more about it, i realised there was nothing to worry about.

The relatively large shield on NATURSUTTEN is designed to gently touch your baby’s nose and give her the same secure feeling she experiences during breastfeeding.

“Reducing exposure to environmental toxins is especially important for babies and young children because many toxins accumulate in fatty tissues, and babies have more body fat, proportionately, than adults,” says Amy Marlow, registered dietician, New York State certified nutritionist and co-author of ‘HAPPYBABY: The Organic Guide to Baby’s First 24 Months.’

NATURSUTTEN is made ecologically sustainable from pure natural rubber from the tree Hevea brasiliensis.
The design, the company and the idea is Danish and our product is manufactured exclusively in Italy.

The protein that on rare occasions can provoke a latex allergy is eliminated during production.

With a NATURSUTTEN pacifier, you avoid:
• Allergy causing substances
• Artificial color
• Cancer causing substances
• Hormone disturbing substances
• Chemical softeners
• Parabens, PVC and phthalates

NATURSUTTEN pacifiers are softer than silicone, and are very hygienic because they are molded in one piece without joints or cracks where dirt and bacteria can accumulate.

BPA and  phthalates are shown to damage the liver, kidneys, lungs and reproductive systems in animal studies, phthalates can be absorbed through the skin or inhaled. So just picture your precious bundle sucking on a chemical laden piece of plastic. Switch today and im sure you won't regret it.

Organic Origins- organic delivered groceries

There are no good fruit and veg shops in my area. let alone ones selling organics. I am happy to pay a premium price as long as the fruit and veg is of a high quality. However I am not willing to drive for 20-30 minutes to get to a higher quality shop.

This is when i began looking at online fruit and veg shopping. I started our journey with Aussie Farmers Direct. I was very happy with them for the first couple of weeks, sadly the quality declined over time. I needed more flexibility when ordering too. Sometimes you needed additional veggies or a particular type of fruit. There was no option to add these at the time it was a set box and that was all.

I then perused Victorian Organic delivery. There service was great,  but quality wasn't 100%  great.  Wilted celery that was browning, squashed pears and old grapes were not fair considering the price you were paying.

A friend posted on Organic Origins Facebook page proclaiming her love for them. I couldn't help myself and had to have a look at their page. It was full of comments from happy customers. Off to their website i went. I was blown away! They actually reward you for shopping with them! Freebies all round. They had a very large range. Mixed boxes of fruit and veg were available but you also had the option to choose the exact items you want.

There focus was not just fruit and veg but groceries too. Milk, noodles, pasta, lentils,yoghurt, toiletries etc.
Which was super dooper handy it means i barely have to go to the supermarket any more.

The quality was absolutely astounding! Crunchy fresh fruit and veggies. They are always packaged well and customer service is fantastic. They even remember my name!

I can't stop recommending them to my friends and family, since we began buying only organic fruit and veg not one of us has gotten sick. Just goes to show that there is a lack of vitamins in commercial fruit and veg.

I will leave you with some pics, make sure you let them know EarthyMamma sent you.


My bonus for spending $100 1/2 kg of mandarins

My big box of veggies and fruit!

Thats right organic noodles and pasta
everything that needs a bag comes in these cornstarch bags or paper bags

Kiddie Concepts stainless steel bottle



The sippy cup market is overwhelming to me. I wanted a BPA free bottle, thats easy to clean, can handle being dropped and thrown and chewed on, and that my son loves (fussy little person he is).

We hit the shops in search of a bottle, we bought a plastic Tommie Tippee one and a Munch stainless steel bottle.

After 2 weeks the Tommie Tippee plastic sippy bottle was slimy and grimy. I could barely get my hand in the bottle to wash it and the bottle brush seemed to miss lots of spots especially the little crevices. I wasn't happy.

The Munch stainless steel bottle had zero issues with griminess but leaked HEAPS! The lid was very fiddly to get back on and to be quite frank with a toddler hanging on your hip and only one and to screw the lid on I dont want to have to have to fiddle with it, and try to get the lid on properly. Hubby filled up the bottle once and i forgot to warn him about the lid. Well lets just say Vomitron enjoyed the mini swimming pool.

I was then contacted by the lovely Lisa at Kiddie Concepts about her bottles. She kindly sent me a sample and Vomitron got testing.


BPA free- tick

No grime- tick

easy to open and close the lid- tick

no hard to get in crevices- tick

easy to hold- tick

economical- tick

dishwasher safe- tick






Vomitron loved the sippy teat on it. The bottle wasn't too heavy for him to hold too. The other advantage is when he ready to move to a sports teat lid i can just change the lid! No need to get a whole new bottle!

The Adaptable Kiddie Bottle – a 3-in-1 stainless steel bottle can be fitted with a nipple teat for newborns, a sippy top for toddlers and a sports lid for older children. The adaptable lid means less waste for the environment and less spending for parents.

The bottle’s nipple teats and sippy top components are compatible with those sold by leading brands in pharmacies and supermarkets – so they can be easily replaced if lost or damaged.

When purchased as a sippy cup it is already fitted with a leak proof green Avent brand sippy top – It does not leak!




They will be available at EarthyMamma at the end of the week, we are so excited
