Soft Natural Lambskin Comforter by Bowron

The product description for this item makes quite a few claims: helps relieve pain, provides comfort, sense of security, calming and soothing, comforts colicky children, absorbs moisture in warm weather, baby will sleep longer and more soundly. How does it do all that?

According to the product description, this idea for a Natural Lambskin Comforter was discovered by a young New Zealand mother. While her child was in the hospital with a broken thigh, she noticed other long-term patients who were using sheepskin bed pads and wondered if the natural fibers would help relieve her daughter’s pain. Apparently she was right and she took her idea to Bowron. Bowron research and development, along with the New Zealand Parents Centers Inc., spend four years finding the perfect lambskin for babies. The result was the Babycare lambskins that have been sold world-wide since 1970.

I don’t know if the Soft Natural Lambskin Comforter by Bowron can hold up to all its claims. It sounds like an idea that has its roots from a traditional home-remedy solution. Whatever the claims, lambskin is luxuriously soft and a natural moisture absorber. I also like that it has many uses as a comforter, a crib pad, a play rug, car seat pad, etc. It could easily become one of your most favorite and dependable baby items in your home.

The comforter measures 32 to 37 inches in length and 19 inches in width. You can purchase one for $99.99 at BabyAnt.com.
