MARULA OIL now in stock!


Organic, cold pressed Marula oil is now in stock @ Idibidi Kids. Please visit www.idibidikids.com.au/products

The Marula tree is indigenous to South Africa; the extracted oil is a wonderful healing oil for dry, flaky or cracked skin as an intensive moisturiser. The oil is high in antioxidants, proteins and minerals, making this not just ideal for the skin but for split ends and dry hair.

For your newborn or older child, this is the most precious oil that can be added to other massage oils such as sweet almond oil or sunflower oil to enhance the nourishing moisturising properties, especially if your baby has dry, flaky skin, or problem areas, for example, cradle cap.

All product prices include P&H within Australia.

Friendships are a true gift...

I recently completed an infant massage course with a group of mum's and their babies. I had a truly wonderful time teaching infant massage and seeing the babies over the 4 week course. It is amazing at how quickly babies grow! What struck me when we commenced with session one was the immediate feeling of warmth and friendliness from the group. As an instructor, one of my responsibilities is to make the parents feel welcome and relaxed (in a supportive and non-judgemental environment), but it was lovely to have this feeling in return.
For the first time since starting Idibidi Kids, I received a thank you card and present on completion of the course. I felt truly humble and touched by their thoughtful gift.

The card reads...
"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy and fullfilled life to do the baby massage course with us. Your knowledge has been appreciated and useful but your presence and friendship has been the real gift! Good luck with your business. Hope it delivers you much success and fulfillment, lots of love...."

So next time you are touched by someone's friendship or kindness, why not say 'thank you' as a sign of your appreciation.... it made my day and put a smile on my face!

Thank you ladies.
