Just went into the local health food shop and i found.

Another fan of earth friendly baby here, I have been using a lovely retro talc free talc from Lush on Pea, she has a very wrinkly neck and it gets a bit sweaty/milky/damp so powder really helps to stop it getting pongy! I also use it on her little armpit folds and behind her knees- she is a fat little sausage with lots of folds.
I am gonna have a go with the cornflower though. Can essential oil be added? I like to use a bit of lavender to help get madam off to sleep.

i got all excited coz i never see anything eco friendly in exeter! and this was like a hidden gem, she doesn't stock cloth nappies though, used to, but she never had any trade on them and sold them all off cheap in the end. i'll give the cornflour a go, i like talc as it gives a comfy feeling after a bath, all snugly and plus sometimes it's nice to get into creases etc that i sometimes don't quite get with normal drying. but then i've always used talc myself, not every bath, but i find i feel more cosy using it after a bath. thinking of trying out the mooncup too.

the mandarin bath stuff smells gorgeous! there was a foaming cleanser too, would this be like wipe soloution would anyone know? says on it it's a nappy bag essential and kind to bums. it was a teeny thing of it though for about 8.45, is it worth it and would it last long? i have some obv wipes on order from tami at dunk n fluff see

I use cornflour as talc it stops her bottom getting sore
I love my foaming wipe spray too it's lovely I just wish I could make my own as it's pricey I have the northern essence one

i'm sure i recall someone saying they make a foaming soloution in an old kandoo bottle....hopefully they popup and say.

Annika, glad you've found somewhere! Are you actually IN Exeter? Just that my mum lives not far away and she's into all things "eco" too so she might know some other places if you need them.

yeahwell, i live about a mile or so from the city centre, exwick village is the local name for where i live, or 'the other side of the river'lol i was proper excited actually, as i used to shop in there in my vegan days, and now i'm back for products for my little boys which is cool, and the lady is sooooo nice in there and helpful. healthfoods unlimited is where i went on cowick st, if she is local ur mum, it's an independant place, they were offering massage sessions today and i'm itching to try one out!

That sounds cool, I'll tell her, thank you. She doesn't live in Exeter, but one of the little towns outside, Ottery, probably 20 miles away. She does shop in Exeter sometimes, I'll get her to check it out as she often brings bits up for me to check out We don't seem to have a wholefood shop locally, there's one in the next town and a fantastic one in Northampton, but we don't have a car.

omy! i have lived there! ottery st mary, u mean? i went to school there when i was a kid, and my nan lived there for years till she passed away last year, she was well known there but sadly died ater a stroke in her home, but i do know ottery very well home of the tar barrel rolling! hehe

Yes, Ottery St. Mary! Small world!
