The Gaia team was very excited the other day to find out that there is a baby girl on its way which is going to be called Gaia. Laura who is a valued member L'Avenida Hotel team will be giving birth to her in April.
In Greek mythology GAIA is a Pre-Olympian Greek earth goddess, worshiped as mother of all.
Laura Etcheverry with baby Gaia at 8 month of pregnancy Gaia is also the name for: the hypothesis that the living and nonliving components of earth function as a single system in such a way that the living component regulates and maintains conditions (as the temperature of the ocean or composition of the atmosphere) so as to be suitable for life;
We are preparing to re launch our Gaia Baby range for the birth of Baby Gaia. It consists of the gentlest bath bubbles and a baby massage balm which carry such a small amount of mandarin, lavender and chamomile essential oils that you can even use it with a new born baby. http://www.gaia-natural-mallorca.com/products/babyrange/gaia-baby-gift-box.html
Bedtime rituals are very important for babies and help them get into good sleeping habits. You should always bathe your baby at about the same time, and then give them a gentle relaxing massage while maybe singing to them or listening to relaxing music. More about all this when baby Gaia is born.
Until then we shall focus on how to avoid stretch marks and the best ways to spend those last weeks of pregnancy, getting ready for birth and how to give you some very important ME Time because it will be the last for a very long time.
To start with Stretch Marks and how to avoid them.
Buy yourself a very good Almond Oil, Wheatgerm Oil or Apricot Kernel Oil and spread it onto your belly and hips and your breast every morning and night to help your skin to stretch with you as your baby gets bigger. It is important to use very gentle essential oils only like Mandarin,Geranium and Lavender http://www.gaia-natural-mallorca.com/products/bodybutteressentialoil/essential-mandarin-burner-oil.html and only very small amounts. 3 to 4 drops to a bath and 12 drops to 30 ml of your chosen base oil.
Putting oil onto you pregnant belly is also a good time to ask you partner to do this for you as he will enjoy feeling the baby and to start bonding with it. We know now that babies can hear while inside you and that they recognize your voices once they are born; even start responding with a kick when they hear you while still inside you.
Base oils and essential oils are available in our shop Gaia bathtime in Calle Corderia, Palma
