We are all so happy that she is finally here and enjoying getting to know her. My mum stayed with us for a few weeks leading up to, and following the birth and she was amazing. She did wonders with the garden and was no end of help. It is always good to have your mum around at times like these.
My sister also made a flying visit with her little 6 month old daughter. It was so good to see them, I wish we all lived a little closer. While she was here we made baby bottom salve. I have been using this not only on Elodie's bum but also on her dry skin. It has been great and it is lovely to know that it is all natural with no harmful chemicals. I also re-used her Papa's hair wax tins. They were just the perfect size.
Baby Salve Recipe
to make 2 tins
Beeswax - 30g
coconut oil - 200g
Calendula oil - 1 cap full (I didn't measure it properly sorry)
Tea-tree essential oil - 3 drops
Lavender essential oil - 8 drops
Method
Melt the hard oils in a double boiler, then add the rest of the ingredients stirring well to ensure they are well combined. Pour into tins or jars and leave to set. Easy peasy!
Oh she is so beautiful! A million congratulations and more to you and your family. I will be making the balm for Christa's dry skin- thanks for the recipe. Hugs galore and hope you are well xxx
