It’s getting to the pointy end of the year, which means we’re all busier than ever and stress levels are rising. Add to the mix the demands of a little one, and I reckon new mums deserve a gold medal for making it through with their sanity intact! Gold medals are hard to come by, though, so why not treat the Super Mum in your life to our bellababy box next month? Here’s a look at the goodies mums and bubs scored in the October box – November’s promises to be just as jam packed with pampering treats and handy baby essentials!
For Mum:
ROSKEN HIGH POTENCY SCAR & STRETCH MARK CREAM
We all know the wondrous benefits of vitamin E for dry, dehydrated skin. Rosken’s miracle cream not only hydrates with its potent combo of vitamin E, cacao and shea butter, it also promotes cell regeneration for healthy, smooth, supple skin, and works like a boss to minimise silly stretch marks and scars.
PURETAN PURE MOISTURE COCONUT BODY CRÈME
New mums need a little pampering, and this lush body crème is just the ticket. Enriched with certified organic extra virgin coconut oil, it deeply nourishes and soothes thirsty skin. It also tackles those nasty stretch marks with its vitamin- and antioxidant-rich formulation. Plus, it smells like a little slice of heaven!
MOOGOO SKIN CARE MUDDER UDDER BALM
This wittily named nipple balm is a saviour for breastfeeding mothers, made with all natural ingredients and edible oils – completely safe for mum and munchkin. Mudder Udder Balm contains nourishing jojoba oil, sunflower oil, shea butter, honey and more, soothing the skin and keeping it in tit top condition (sorry).
PALMOLIVE HAND SANITISER
New babies mean one thing – LOTS of hand washing. This nifty hand sanitiser is a handbag essential when out and about with the new addition. Killing 99.9% of germs, it contains light moisturisers and a lovely fragrance in a non-sticky antibacterial formula.
For Bub:
NATURAL SECRETS GOATSMILK NO TEARS BABY BATH
This yummy goats milk wash is specially formulated for babies’ sensitive skin, gently cleansing, moisturising and soothing. Naturally scented, it contains no harsh chemicals and doesn’t irritate little eyes, taking the tears out of bath time.
REDWIN PERFECT NATURALS COCONUT BALM
This soothing balm is made with 100% certified organic coconut oil, as well as papaya extract and jojoba oil, to soothe and hydrate skin, while relieving any irritation. Free from nasties, it’s great for dry, chapped skin (hello nappy rash), bites, burns, cuts and does double duty as a lip balm for mum. Suitable for all skin types.
MILK BABY MOISTURISING QWEAM
This non-greasy, highly absorbent, 95% naturally derived moisturiser from Milk will ensure little skins stay soft as a baby’s bottom. The gentle formula hydrates sensitive skin, helping to clear dry and irritated patches while providing a delicate dermis with all the nourishment it needs for those overnight baby growth spurts.
NATRALUS NATURAL PAW PAW BABY OINTMENT
Organic paw paw, calendula, shea butter, cocoa butter and olive oil are just some of the hard working ingredients in this nourishing and soothing ointment, perfect for both mum and bub. The natural, Australian made formula is free of petrochemicals and parabens, gently soothing soft, baby skin. A smart alternative to chemical-based nappy rash creams, it’s also a treat for cracked nipples, grazes, scratches and more.
NAPPY SACKS®
Mums will love Nappy Sacks® – handy nappy disposal bags that not only mask odours, but neutralise them instantly. An easy and hygienic way to dispose of nappies at home or on the go.
