Introducing Breast mate® breast-feeding timer

nicole — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 13:36:37 +0000

We are so excited to announce the arrival of Breast mate® breast-feeding timer and recording device designed to help you monitor your baby’s every feed. In those newborn days where you can hardly remember your own name let alone which side you last nursed on, women rely on all sorts of tricks to monitor their breastfeeding. Now technology has come to the rescue. Not only does Breast mate® work as a breast-feeding timer and recording device but it has another fantastic feature too: a cute night light for the nursery. Once feeding is fully established the device can become a permanent feature in a child’s bedroom. It works as a night light and a colour changing thermometer to monitor the heat of the room. Breast mate® comes in 4 stylish designs: Cow, Lion, White and Lime Green. We at Hip Little Bubba HQ think this is a fantastic product and wished it had been around when we had little ones! Breast Mate can be purchased for AUD $79.95 or HKD $660

The bowls are microwave safe so you can save any leftover food for next time. The palette also has a non-slip base, avoiding spills and splatters on your floors and walls. Utensils are also included, as is a spot for a sippy cup. The Palette Plate is priced at HK$245 / AUD $31 / EUR $23

Gro Sleeping Bags have arrived!

nicole — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 05:52:30 +0000

The wonderful Gro baby sleeping bags have arrived in store! The Grobag® baby sleeping bags are the brainchild of Rob and Ouvrielle Holmes. After many years of research and testing (and lots of sleepless nights!), they have produced the safest and best quality baby sleeping bags available. Hip Little Bubba now stocks the 1.0 tog and 2.5 tog.

A tog measurement is a European warmth rating: the higher the tog, the warmer the product. Grobag Baby Sleep Bags are available in three tog ratings.

2.5 tog – Ideal for standard nursery temperatures of 16-20°C (61-69°F)

1.0 tog – Use during warmer weather and in nurseries fo 20-24°C (69-73°F)

Please note: A number of external factors determine the tog rating of the Grobag Baby Sleeping Bag that should be used. These include the quantity of clothing the baby is wearing, the temperature of the infant’s bedroom, the baby’s health and the amount of bedding necessary to keep an individual infant warm – this may vary as it does for adults. Check your baby regularly to ensure they do not overheat. Your Grobag Baby Sleep Bag comes with a free nursery thermometer to help you select which tog Grobag Baby Sleeping Bag to use and what sleepwear to put your baby in.

You can view the range on our site Gro Sleeping Bags

Hip Little Bubba – Thank you!

Hi Nicole,

I just wanted to say thank you so much for shipping the black out blind so quickly… it’s really amazing. My little boy is two and up until this summer he would always sleep right through until at least 7 am. Since the days started getting longer and the mornings lighter this year, he has been waking most mornings around 6, and sometimes even earlier. This morning with the blackout blind he slept until 7:15 am and was so happy all morning… just amazing

Thanks again,

Katie O’Keffe
