I had my eldest son just before Christmas 2010. When the children\u2019s charities appeal adverts came on, with my tiny baby in my arms, I felt a new level of emotion, and more determined than ever to do something. Becoming a parent fuelled my belief that every baby should have a fair start in life, no matter where they are born.\r\n\r\nI was out shopping for his baby clothes when thought to myself: if I could buy beautiful baby clothes and know the profit helps babies in need, why would I buy anywhere else?\u00a0 The answer is I wouldn\u2019t, and so <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/partner\/FromBabiesWithLove.aspx\" target=\"_blank\"><i>from babies with love<\/i><\/a><\/span> was born!\r\n\r\nWe sell stylish organic baby clothes for 0 \u2013 24 months, including baby grows, dresses, t-shirts and accessories. But instead of profit going to shareholders, 100% of profit helps vulnerable children.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/fbwl1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9183 aligncenter\" alt=\"fbwl1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/fbwl1.jpg\" width=\"704\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/fbwl1.jpg 704w, https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/fbwl1-250x142.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/fbwl1-700x398.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/fbwl1-120x68.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nWe donate all our profit to the children through our partnership with the charity SOS Children. They provide loving family homes and enable the children to go on to independent adult lives, breaking the cycle of poverty. We\u2019re already supporting ten babies as well as two nursery schools in SOS Children\u2019s Villages.\r\n\r\nFor example we support baby Juliette, who was tragically abandoned at birth. The authorities couldn&#8217;t find the identity or fate of her parents, and after a few days in hospital she joined her SOS family in Benin. Her SOS Mother describes the impact on her new family: &#8220;wonder and curiosity filled her brothers and sisters; they all took turns to carefully inspect such a tiny newborn!&#8221; Thanks to her SOS family\u2019s love and care, now 10-month-old Juliette is crawling around, and she has a safe and happy childhood ahead of her.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/fbwl2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9181 aligncenter\" alt=\"fbwl2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/fbwl2.jpg\" width=\"704\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/fbwl2.jpg 704w, https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/fbwl2-250x142.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/fbwl2-700x398.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/fbwl2-120x68.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nThe <i>from babies with love<\/i> offering is unique \u2013 you buy beautiful baby clothes <i>and <\/i>enjoy knowing you\u2019re helping babies in need.\r\n<h3><strong><em>Plus by shopping through KidStart, you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/partner\/FromBabiesWithLove.aspx\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">get 5% KidStart Savings for your children<\/span><\/a>.
