Here at ThinkBaby we have long been fans of the little me organics range of oils, creams and bath bubbles suitable for new babies. We love their mix of baby (and new-mummy) safe products which mix natural oils to create gentle but soothing lotions for bath time, bedtime, relaxing times and soothing times. What's great, too, is that their range is available on the high street at high street - rather than spa boutique - prices.
So, imagine our excitement at the news that they've now got a range for mums-to-be as well!

Created with the help of aromatherapy expert Glenda Taylor, the new collection of bath and body pampering products bring together essential fatty acids and safe essential oils for a gentle but effective selection of body treats that are safe to use during pregnancy, after the birth and during the breastfeeding months ahead.
Mum to Be luxury bath soak £4.99 for 300ml bottle. Containing organic lavender, rose hip and sweet orange, this bath soak brings together natural ingredients known for their cleansing, balancing and calming qualities, perfect for relaxing in pregnancy and easing away the day's aches and pains. The rose hip also contains rejuvenating and regenerating properties from retinoic acid (a derivative of vitamin E) which can help reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars.
Mum to Be care and cocoon body cream £7.99 for 150ml pot. Again this contains rose hip, great for helping reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars, but it also contains borage which is rich in gla (gamma linoleic acid - an essential fatty acid) which can help to nourish dry skin and relieve other pregnancy skin problems. The body cream also contains jojoba which provides vitamin E, copper and zinc, and shea butter which is a wonderful natural treatment for dry skin.
