Diaper / Nappy Hacks I wish I'd known sooner!

-

Ever experience a blowout and wonder if there was anything you could've done to prevent it?!? Or just needed a few tips?  Here are some tips and tricks I learnt in my disposable rocket-ship-blowout journey: 1. Diaper /nappy quality will not protect you. Yes, I know, you want tye best of the best on your baby's bottom. Guess what! Baby might be allergic, or hate the feel.... There is no way of knowing ahead of time. Either way, blowouts happen with the most expensive diapers/Nappies too! 2. A new diaper/nappy means no blowout. If baby's stomach decides its time to shine, there is no way to ensure that a blowout doesn't happen. Not even a clean, dry nappy can 100% guarantee it! 3. There are flappy things!! There are TWO flaps on either side of the diaper/nappy (where the legs go). The inner flap holds the poop/pee, and the outer flap protects from leakage. MAKE SURE BOTH FLAPS ARE OUT AND FLARED! 4. Vaseline might work better than rash cream.  Yes, I know, it sounds ridic...

Review Day : Pure Beginnings - baby bum cream

-
Image
Having a baby is hard. Changing a nappy in the wee hours of the morning is hard. But seeing diaper Rash?!? - That's probably the most infuriating thing about a change...ESPECIALLY if you're super diligent with changes!! So, Finding a good Nappy cream is SUPER important. We've tried quite a few, but since we also have cloth diapers, I wanted to make sure this review was thorough...does it work as well with cloth nappies as it does(or doesn't) with disposables. Well, keep reading to find out! The very first thing you need to know about these review blog posts is that they are my honest opinion, and absolutely nothing will change that!  I ordered the pure beginnings baby bum cream off takealot for 99 BUCKS, which I felt was a great price. Especially with other sites pricing it at R119 or more. (well done, takealot). Of course, it arrived as takealot's orders usually do.  The packaging is okay. It doesn't make me excited to use the product B...

How we relieved our baby's Colic symptoms

-
Image
Being first-time parents was very intimidating at first...especially once baby started showing colic symptoms. With help from awesome friends (Shani especially, Naeema, and Marissa), we managed to find the problem and somehow successfully give baby relief! Here are some relief products we tried and what did/didn't work: 1. Telament This did NOT work for us, it made baby projectile vomit, which meant we needed to calm her and I needed to feed her again (and so the process started from scratch) 2. Colic Calm I got this stuff from my friend, Shani, who was no longer using it with her baby. It was such a lifesaver and eased my spirit because it does not contain alcohol like the other relief options do! It's totally natural. The only downside is the black mess (the liquid is black), but if it gives relief to your little one, the mess is worth it. This stuff is super expensive, so we were lucky to get this free!  3. Gripe Water I will probably get crucified on the mom groups for this...
