In Love with Petit Bateau
February 15, 2008
More on the cellar tomorrow, but first I just have to take a moment to profess my love for Petit Bateau baby clothes…
Our friends Martial (who we’ve asked to be Clem’s godfather, incidentally) and Isabelle presented Clémentine with lots of lovely presents shortly after she was born, including her lovely soft dou-dou that as you can see below has already become a big favorite.
However, my favorite of their presents are the two Petit Bateau onesies they gave her. Like all Petit Bateau products, the cotton is impossibly soft and is just the perfect weight
The one she is modeling below says “Ma Petite Cherie” and makes her feel very French and feminine, which is important when one has very little hair on top of one’s head. The other one has many cute French phrases written pink on a white background, but she peed all over it as I was posing her for her photo shoot.
Anyway, check out the Petit Bateau website, which already has me drooling. Just click here;
And their US website;
They have recently added adult clothing and underwear as well, which the French women I know are snapping up. Anything Petit Bateau makes them feel very nostalgic as they all began life in Petit Bateau onesies like Clémentine.

This baby is so perfect and yummy, she makes my breasts ache.
I wonder if that feeling ever goes away? *g*
I think the days when my children were newborns were the happiest and most satisfying of my life. Not to say I wasn’t exhausted, but the outside world and everything in it just seemed to be put on hold for those first few months.
Enjoy…

Your little Clementine is so gorgeous, what a beautiful baby – you are SO lucky – congratulations to you all. Love the Petiti Bateau my friend is due a little girl on the 14th of March – think I will have to have a look at there clothes when we come over !! Presume you can pick these up in Beaune ??
Yes its hard isn’t it nights on end of no sleep – exhausting – but there are many of us that can really empathise with you having gone thru the same things ourselves.
Be kind to yourself when you can.
