How
they work:
Merino
sheep have been bred over the centuries to produce fine, soft wool.
When the Merino is crossbred with one of the English breeds,
known for their strength of fibers, the result is a luxurious fleece
which is soft, strong and dense. Unlike
the synthetic fiber, each natural wool fiber has a “memory” which
allows it to return to its' original position even when it has been
folded or subjected to heavy weights.
When
to use:
Because
air circulates freely between the fibers creating an insulating effect, Lamby can be used summer
and winter. Experiments in
Northern Queensland, which is very hot and humid, proved lambskin to be
beneficial in the prevention of heat rash.
In humid conditions, air the lambskin more frequently.
How
to use:
Baby
should use Lamby continually, in the
bassinet, bed, carrier, stroller, and car seat, even on the floor. It
is preferable not to cover the lambskin with a sheet as this reduces
its effectiveness. However,
placing a diaper under the head and buttocks while baby is small will
prevent minor soiling.
For
maximum benefit, baby should lie directly on Lamby. In hot weather, dress baby in as few clothes as possible.
On very hot days, use just a diaper, and cover with a light
sheet. In cold weather,
body contact with the lambskin should be as complete as possible or
upon following the advice of your pediatrician.
LAMBY is safe:
Wool
is naturally flame resistant. Air
circulates freely between the fibers.
Lamby promotes the
“BACK TO SLEEP” campaign, which recommends placing baby on their
back for the sleeping position or following the advice of your
pediatrician.

LAMBY is an Australian
lambskin which is tanned and clipped to comply with the Australian Wool
Corporation Specification A134 for medical quality skins.
Sheepskins
were first used as nursing aids to prevent pressure sores of the
chronically ill, the immobilized and the elderly patient.
The success of the product lies in the high degree of patient
comfort. The surface of the
fleece transmits pressure evenly over a relatively wide area and there
is less friction than with conventional bedding.
The wool fibers allow free circulation of air, absorbing up to
33% of their own dry weight of moisture without feeling wet, and
dissipate moisture more readily.
When
the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO)
developed a tanning process which allowed lambskins to be washed, they
began to appear in the neonatal intensive care nurseries.
The
practice of placing infants and small children on lambskins has been
growing in Australia and New Zealand over the last thirty years even
though there has been no significant sales promotion.
The qualities and the benefits of their use have been spread by
word of mouth. Lambskins are now available in the U.K. and Europe and
are particularly popular in Germany, Sweden, Japan, Canada and the
United States.
To
listen to a mother who has recently acquired a lambskin for her baby is
fascinating. Like the old
“Snake Oil” remedies, almost magical qualities are attributed to the
product. To be a little
more realistic, lambskins have a whole range of benefits, none of
them magic.
It
is impossible to meet a consumer who is not enthusiastic about at least
one aspect of their use.
