The Meke Pikin package brings together everything for the traditional Maroon care of a newborn. A lovely gift for parents-to-be or a baby visit. The package contains three packs of Baby Ketee Uwii for the herbal bath, a jar of sugar cane molasses (125 ml), a few anduu roots and a jar of Kokonto Fatu, handmade coconut oil (125 ml). After the bath the baby's body is traditionally rubbed with a mix of the root and coconut oil, using calm, gentle movements. Molasses has its own place in Maroon traditions around birth. If you have questions about the combinations, feel free to contact us.
Use and preparation
Place a few anduu roots on the bottom of a large kettle and add a pack of Baby Ketee Uwii. Add enough water and bring to the boil. Pour the water into the baby bath and top up with cold water until it is a temperature your baby is comfortable with; always check with your elbow. Bathe your little one gently without soap. Then rub the baby's body with a mix of the root and coconut oil.
