In the selfless nature inherent in all mothers, mothers would willingly spend spend spend on their babies and make sure that their babies get the best, sometimes even at their own expense.  We have seen many mothers and even mothers-to-be scrutinising products for their babies but for their own, they would grab whatever is easiest and cheapest.  Please take care of yourself, Mummies!  Your babies do rely on you to stay healthy and well!  Take time to pamper yourselves – it does not have to be a long session away as we know how stretched for time you are. Start with the basics – eat good healthy food and have a good skincare regime.  After all, what you apply on your skin is absorbed into your bloodstream so contrary to many people’s beliefs, it is important to ensure you use only safe skincare products for yourself.  Have a look at Natural Beauty Products for Mother & Baby.

We have not forgotten mums in our products – Buds Cherished Organics has included 2 products for mothers in the world’s largest preservative-free and certified organic skincare line for babies and mums.  Check out our Beautiful Blooming Belly Stretch Mark Cream and Nursing Salve.

Blossom beautifully with our Beautiful Blooming Belly Stretch Mark Cream which is packed with luxurious and moisturising Jojoba, Shea Butter and Sunflower Oil which transport a medley of bio actives to your skin.  Chlorella Vulgaris Extract and Tamanol Oil promotes production of collagen and elastin in your body.  See some feedback from UK here:  http://sanjidaoconnel.livejournal.com/14324.html.  Closer to home, one of our customers found this rich cream so moisturising that she has started applying it on her whole  body as she loved how soft the cream left her skin and her daughter loved the scent too.  Speaking of which, this cream is not just for pregnant mothers; neither is it just for the growing belly.  We have personally received feedback from another 2 customers who have never been pregnant (yet).  One had stretch marks due to dieting and another had stretch marks on her thighs, possibly due to hormones or tight jeans.  Both reported success stories with this lovely cream, so get applying and feedback to us! Breastfeeding is another practice that we at Buds strongly advocate.  However, we know that it can sometimes be painful especially to first-time mums.  The Nursing Salve helps you to cope with the demands of nursing a newborn.  This cross between a balm and gel features Inca Inchi and Aroleat Lavanda to moisturise your nipple area and prepare it for breastfeeding whilst at the same time healing any dry, cracked nipples.  What’s more, since it’s preservative-free and certified organic by Ecocert, you can feel a lot more assured that it is safe for the baby to ingest.  But enough from us – here is some feedback from our customers: Breastfeeding Advocates Network’s Must Buy discussion: From coleen – i’d seriously reccommend nursing salve, like the Buds nursing salve. coz seriously, the first 14 days of breastfeeding is the worst! and without the salve i think i’d quit in 5 days.. as soon as the milk came in and my nipples cracked, i was going to quit but the nursing salve kept it soothed, moisturised and best of all, its organic and safe for baby to ingest, so no need to wipe before nursing. it really was my secret to success the first few days. besides that i think a good breast pump is essential, though i personally don’t use it much.
