Lambskin

The very best lambskin around - washable, certified and totally natural - an investment that you will have forever! Well done White Cloud for sourcing such excellent products. http://www.whitecloud.co.uk

Bought one for my pram after a friend got one for hers and I was jealous of how warm and comfy her baby looked. Not cheap but definitely worth it. Baby loves snuggling on it and seems much comfier and more settled in the pram now. Not an essential part of a newborn kit as a new parent (just never thought of it!) but would make a fab present.

Mumsnetters' comments: "A lambskin can be draped over anything or put on the floor. It's warm in winter, cool in summer and completely natural". "My son was a winter baby and I never had to worry about his body temperature when he was sleeping because the lambskin regulated it - I also used it in his pram - you just cut holes for the straps". "Our baby slept on it in a Moses basket - when we tried him without it he bawled his head off". "You can take it away with you to help them sleep and it is washable (you can get special shampoo)". "Not cheap but quite brilliant".

My baby loves her lambskin so much! We got ours from www.whitecloudtrading.co.uk and it is so soft! Other companies don't provide such high quality - but the one we got was guaranteed to be gorgeous. What really made me want to buy from White Cloud was the information that:" No formaldehyde or carcinogenic dyes have been used in the processing of the lambskins". Natural products are so important. Highly recommended!

I bought one of these for my daughter and it's been lovely. She slept on it in her Moses basket, and now sleeps on it in her cot. She snuggles into it and looks very cosy. I'm hoping that it'll be a nice comforter for her to grow up with as well. It can go anywhere, and is easily washed (I use the 'delicate' cycle and some special detergent I bought for it). It was expensive but was worth it as a luxury item. I'd love to get one of these as a gift for any subsequent babies.

fab gift for a newborn. my 4 year old STILL sleeps with his (albeit very tatty) much loved 'Baa Baa'

Mine got so covered in sick that even when I washed it, it ponged. It only has limited usefulness and I found the baby was just as happy rolling around on the carpet. Make sure yours doesn't moult either, dd used to have a mouthful of wool because it started to moult, perhaps because I'd had to wash it so often? A towel would do just as well.

A brilliant gift! Can be used in cot, on floor aand in pram/pushchair. Can be washed again and again and can also be a rug! Very practical gift.

I always used a lambskin for my newborns to sleep on.
They settled really easily, you can wash them if you are careful how to dry them. They have been very handy to line car seats and stops the chill being felt through strollers later on.

Great for taking out and about and using as a terporary bed at friends places -
I've read recently that they are a SIDS risk though, so I wouldn't use it in the cot or when I can't supervise.

This was one of my favourite (ie most useful) presents. It is easily portable, very soft and great for baby to lie on, particularly when the floor cleanliness might be slightly in question! It is also environmentally friendly, if you get the real thing.

So many uses. Lovely and soft for the bub and seems to settle and reassure them.

This was a really luxurious present bought from Green Baby co - its lovely to lie your little one on instead of horrible, rough carpet!! and you can pop it in the car when you go visiting people!

We bought one for ourselves when our baby was about 4 months but it would make a lovely gift as it keeps them cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It's something many 1st time parents may not think of buying as a priority item so it's be a nice luury gift.
