Lambskins can be moved with baby, so even in a strange environment, baby feels at home. They act as a natural thermostat, warm in winter, cool in summer. Scientific research shows that babies sleep longer and more contentedly on a lambskin. Use in car seat or stroller too. Washable, sterilized. Sizes vary--approx. 21" x 31". A1 $69.95
Just wanted to let you know the "Babycare Lambskin" is a mother's dream!! I got the lambskin when my son was 5 months old. He was waking up to 3 times a night, he is now 6 months old and since the first night he slept on it he has been sleeping 12 hours straight a night. Just last night he slept 14 1/2 hours and when he does wake up he will lie there playing for 10 min. or so. I would recommend this to any new mother. It is worth every penny and then some!!

Hi! My daughter says that the lambskin I ordered for my granddaughter is lovely, and she was impressed with the service! I would love to have a catalog for myself so that I can continue spoiling the baby! R.M. Whitehorse, YT.
My baby has slept 11 hours through the night since 5 weeks of age! Love that lambskin! L.B. Creemore, Ontario
Twenty years ago, a young New Zealand mother who had seen sheep-skins used to benefit long-term hospital patients, felt that a lambskin might help relieve the pain of her child who was in hospital with broken thigh. The sheepskin gave her child great comfort, and the mother than thought of newborn babies, and wondered if they too might benefit from sleeping on a lambskin. She contacted the lambskin company, who researched and tested at the New Zealand Parent Centres, to find the perfect lambskin for babies.
Because Babycare brand lambskins come from lambs that have never been shorn, the tip of each wool fibre is naturally rounded, soft and silky to touch. the prickling sensation sometimes associated with shorn or clipped wool is totally absent, hence no skin rash or irritation. A special tanning process ensures that the lambskin stays soft and supple and the wool fibres remain secure even after frequent washing. (Be sure to follow washing instructions.) Cambridge University, using Babycare lambskins in their studies, found that premature infants gained weight faster and cried less due to the natural swaddling effects of the wool. In another study, in New Zealand, reported by Dr. Ashley Montague (author of Touching), in the magazine Genesis, parents said that their infants slept longer and more contentedly. They also fell asleep more readily. The most common advantage reported was that the baby was always kept cozy and warm, even if he was wet and in need of changing. Babies quickly learned to associate the lambskin with sleep, a special advantage if baby was sleeping in strange surroundings. Dr. Montague concludes his article by saying "Clearly, both infants and mothers derive substantial benefit from the use of lambskin rugs. Indeed, the evidence of their beneficial effects is so striking, that the use of lambskins should become a routine practice in the home, not just for babies and their mothers, but also for children of older age when they are in need of special comfort."
