If you
have a baby to buy for this Christmas there are a great range of products available
that are fun, beneficial and practical. Here are our favourite baby buys –
With
Christmas fast approaching I have been thinking about what gifts I would like.
Here are a few of my favourite gifts for her (take note Lee – hint hint).
I’ve loved
Weleda for a number of years now. When Bug was a baby their range of baby
skincare Calendula products were my favourite baby skincare products and their
Chamomilla 3X granules were a lifesaver when he was teething.
As I love
Weleda and their natural and organic products it was no surprise that when I
had Jelly Bean I once again visited the Weleda website to stock up on their
products, especially the Baby Calendula Nappy Change Cream which has been loved
by parents for 30 years.
With my
love of Weleda once again revived I was delighted to be able to try out their
newer range of baby skincare products – Weleda Baby White Mallow products.
Following on from my review of the Weleda Baby Calendula Lotion I was delighted to be offered a brilliant Weleda product as a prize for a giveaway on my blog. I am a huge fan of Weleda and their products and highly recommend and praise the wonderfulness of Weleda; and as such I am over the moon at being able to offer my lovely readers the chance to win a wonderful Weleda Baby mini kit containing 5 of their products.
We are huge
fans of Weleda baby products; we love Weleda’s Calendula Weather Protection Cream
which we reviewed last year, the Weleda Baby Tummy Oil is great for massaging
little man’s tummy and relaxing him, and their Chamomilla 3x Granules for
teething and colicky pain has been helpful for little man’s teething woes. As such when I was offered their baby lotion
to review I jumped at the chance of trying a Weleda product we haven’t used yet.
The
Weleda Baby Calendula Lotion is a skincare product that cleanses and nourishes
a baby’s sensitive skin, replenishing after bathing and protecting from
environmental drying effects. According
to Weleda the “Weleda Baby Calendula Lotion contains extracts of biodynamically
grown Calendula to help protect the skin form environmental drying effects,
leaving the skin soft and supple. In
addition, it is also an ideal skin cleaning product, particularly in the nappy
area, where it helps to gently remove grime.”
The blend of natural ingredients has been created to nourish and protect
the delicate skin of little ones; the Calendula extract soothes skin inflammation,
the light base of Sweet Almond Oil helps the moisture rich formula to be easily
absorbed by the skin and the Beeswax within the blend protects skin from
dryness. The lotion contains natural
ingredients with no nasty ingredients and is suitable for vegetarians. This lotion is award winning having won
numerous awards including Silver for Best Premium Baby Skincare Range with the
Mother and Baby Award 2012 as well as receiving the accolade of winning a TIPS Awards 2011-2012 in the category Best of the Best Baby Lotion or Cream.
During pregnancy
as your baby grows and your bump expands your skin is stretched to accommodate
the ever growing bump that holds your precious baby. For many women during pregnancy as their skin
is stretched stretch marks are formed. Even
though stretch marks can form on other people other than pregnant women, i.e.
people who put on or lose weight and teenagers going through puberty, the
hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy affects your skin and can make it
more likely that stretch marks appear. Before
getting pregnant I already had a host of stretch marks adorning my body from
puberty and as my pregnancy progressed I noticed that I got a few more to add
to my collection and they were a lot more visible than my old ones which are
very faint. Whilst pregnant I never
bought a cream or oil for my stretch marks. Following my review of the Weleda Baby Tummy Oil, Weleda offered one of their
oils for my pregnant friend to try. I was keen to see how effective it was and
to see if it would be worth me using when I am pregnant again.
We are
fans of Weleda baby products; we love the Weleda Calendula Weather Protection Cream which
we reviewed last year and their teething granules have been great for little
man’s teething woes. As such when I was
offered another of their products to review I jumped at the chance of trying a Weleda
product we haven’t used yet.
I was over the moon when the lovely people at Weleda offered to send me their Calendula Weather Protection Cream to test and review. With the colder weather arriving fast and Bug’s constant dribbling from his teething I was pleased to be testing this cream to see if it would help protect my little man’s skin.
