Stuff we like: Seascape Island Apothecary Les Petits body lotion (AND A GIVEAWAY!)

Recently I was sent a few lovely products from Seascape Island Apothecary to review over on my main blog, but the standout product for me has been the Les Petits body lotion. I've been using it on D after bathtime but before bed; the essential oils are lavender and chamomile, a brilliant combo for a little boy who hates sleeping, right?

What I love about this is that it's been formulated especially for sensitive baby skin and there are no nasties such as parabens or sulphates. It's a light, easy to absorb lotion and I've also been using it for baby massage when D's colic has turned him into a shouty menace!

In terms of practicality, this is a decent sized bottle and I love, love, love the pump at the top- it's so easy to use one  handed when getting D ready for bed. It also means that you can use just the right amount. We keep this on the changing table, so it's always a go to at bedtime! (I'm also happy to admit I've been using it on myself when my brain has gone into worry overdrive- and it's not affected my eczema-prone skin either.)

I've been lucky enough to be given some excellent Seascape products for one of TRMC's readers:

  1. I think the most hilarious one I've heard is 'don't look at mice, or your baby will have a hairy birth mark'! WTF!!

  2. My favourite was if you eat sugary stuff it's a girl... it's my favourite because I didn't hear it until the week before I was due when for the last month all I'd been fancying is cheap victoria sandwiches (you know the 79p ones from Tescos?) I ate like one a day! Anyway, I was told I was having a boy so when my friend pointed this out, I simply laughed... until I had a daughter the next week!
