Babycare
More
than a million babies around the world in the last twenty
years can thank a young New Zealand mother for her wonderful
idea. She had seen long term hospital patients benefit from
lying on sheepskin bed pads, and felt that sheepskin might
help relieve the pain of her child who was in hospital with
a broken thigh. It worked. The sheepskin gave her child great
comfort and from that was born the idea that resulted in today's
Babycare lambskins.
The
mother then thought that newborn babies might benefit from
the security and comfort of a natural wool sleeper. She explained
her idea to Bowron. The Bowron researchers, in co-operation
with the Wool Research Organisation, began a four year development
programme to find the perfect lambskin for babies. After an
extensive testing program with the New Zealand Parents Centres
Inc, the Babycare lambskins went on sale in New Zealand and
Australia in 1970 and were an instant success. Today Babycare
lambskins are sought after by caring mothers all over the
world.
