Over 30 years ago a New Zealand mother originally came up with the wonderful idea of using sheepskins for baby care. More than a million babies around the world have since benefited. The mother had seen sheepskin bed pads used in hospital and thought it may help relieve the pain of her child who was in hospital. It worked, the sheepskin gave her child great comfort and from that was born the idea that resulted in today's baby lambskin rug products for babies. New Zealand researchers, in co-operation with the Wool Research Organisation, began a four year development programme to find perfect lambskins for baby. After an extensive testing program the Babycare lamb skins went on sale and were an immediate success. Today, caring mothers all over the world choose lamb skin for babies. 33 - 39 inches (80 - 100 cm) Min. Width: 19 inches (48 cm) Antibacterial, resists dirt, odor and bacteria.
