On this blog we talk a lot about babies, about how precious they are and how lucky we are as parents, aunts and uncles to be able to welcome them into our lives and hold them in our arms. They coo. We ooh. They smile. We beam. And so, in this final week before one of the most celebrated weeks of the year, let us talk to you a little about rest and sleep, which is something all of the babies in our lives know a thing or two about. In the case of infants, it may be what they do best. I, for one, am jealous.

All this talk of sleep brings me to a few items in our little store that may be of interest to you and your little one. The Savvy Rest organic mattresses and crib mattresses are not only soft and comfy but they’re made with natural latex that is dustmite repellent. And, they are covered with organic cotton and a natural wool quilting that has absolutely no flame retardants which, in most beds, are highly toxic and known to disturb sleep, among other things. Each bed is made in three layers can be divided down the middle so that you can adjust the comfort for each person.

Now, I am headed for a nap. Happy holidays from all of us at eco. See you in the neighborhood.

Let everything that touches your baby be pure and natural. That’s the general rule of thumb, right? Over the years, the products have changed but this principle has always held true.
