Who: Lala’s Pequenos; Jeffersonton, VA
What: Organic Newborn Noonie
Where: Lala’s Pequenos at Etsy; $62, enter “Urban Sherp Baby” in the ‘message to seller’ box for free shipping on any organic Noonie
Why: Honestly, what could be cuter than a little babe tucked snug as a bug into this cozy Noonie? Like a little pea in a pod…..
The Noonie is perfect for bundling up baby for post-bath cuddles and, for those of us who simply cannot figure out the ‘baby burrito,’ the cone-shaped Noonie makes swaddling a breeze.
Perhaps the best part about the Noonie are the fabrics used. Designer Alessandra Guitierez, has a great eye for quality and design and finds cool, fun and modern fabrics that you just don’t see enough of in the baby department. Better yet, they are made of 100% organic fair trade cotton lined with super soft super luxe 100% organic sherpa with buttons made from reclaimed wood.
A portion of the proceeds of all sales of the Noonie are donated in support of the Rainmaker Conservation Project, a project very close to Alessandra’s heart. Her father had a vision to save a rainforest that was destined for the lumber yard and, after his passing, Alessandra and her family kept that dream alive. It was their dedication and perserverance that saved Rainmaker Mountain from becoming another statistic and instead creating a 1500 acre sanctuary open for all to experience and enjoy.
