My New Favorite Baby Gift

Part of my job as a doula is to be up on all the best baby products and gear, so I can help families make decisions about baby registries and what to try for their child's individual needs. Managing the Wichita Baby Gala is super helpful for this, because I get to interact with so many cool new brands trying to make life a little easier - or a little cuter - for parents of babies and toddlers.

I found something this year that I liked so much, I wanted to write about it rather than just Instagram about it ;) This is my new favorite baby gift - it's practical yet sentimental and adorable, and the company is a good one that deserves our support.

Milkbarn Kids makes the kind of sweet, whimsical, and dreamy yet practical children's wear that is just begging to be photographed. From rompers and dresses to bibs, swaddles, and gowns, you will love their adorable collection.

A lot of moms we know are concerned about children's clothing being made with fire retardants and other chemicals, or whether they are being made by other mothers' children in unsafe conditions.

Milkbarn Kids uses GOTS certified organic cotton fabrics for their clothing. This is the highest level of organic fabric certification. The fabrics do not use fire retardant chemicals or dyes containing heavy metals.

Most importantly, Milkbarn Kids is a Tennessee mother-and-daughter company and believes in ethical policies. Ethical + Fair Trade Shopping Guide 2018 Features Milkbarn Kids

Stacy, the founder of Milkbarn Kids, is on the board of Exile International, whose mission is to bring healing and restoration to former child soldiers, as well as orphans from DR Congo and Uganda. Exile International bring holistic and rehabilitative care including art therapy to help empower these children through healing and becoming peaceful leaders.

We are blessed to have partnered with Milkbarn Kids for this year's Wichita Baby Gala, where you'll see their keepsake sets on the giveaway table and the silent auction table!

These keepsake sets are my new favorite baby gift. The newborn gown, hat, and swaddle comes in a darling heavy-duty cardboard box with a magnet closure, and a space inside to write the baby's name and stats. What a sweet sentimental gift for a new parent - a special first outfit to wear home from the hospital, and preserve forever! We have these in both pink and blue, with adorable elephant prints.

These keepsake sets are definitely my new favorite gift for a baby shower or for any friend expecting a little bundle of joy. I enjoy giving the "perfect" gift, and for me that usually means something unique and meaningful that you can't just get from any old Wallyworld.

I believe these are going to be in the Fall 2018 collection. You can shop the Milkbarn Kids Spring 2018 collection here.

Are you coming to the Wichita Baby Gala on 9/4/18 for your chance to win these keepsake sets? There are only a few tickets left!
