    hi
    I used cocoa butter, bio oil, moisturiser and none of them did anything to prevent my stretch marks. I got them despite using the `best` products. If you are going to get them, there isn`t anything you can do to prevent it. The stuff might just make them not as bad.
    As for bub, I have found that johnson`s products are good and smell lovely. The huggies ones don`t smell very nice to me, and the creams aren`t as easily absorbed. I also like the gaia products.

    i found the best products were baby oil on your belly to prevent strech marks
    sudocream and pawpaw ointment for nappy rash (some people say to use cornflour but that gives little girls thrush as thats what the bacteria likes to live on)
    stomach calm by braun i think available at chemists its all natural 100% better than gripe water and works almost instantly…
    QV wash for baths
    any wipes as long as they are thick as the thinner ones break and you end up with it all on you fingers
    AQUIUM antibacterial hand gel you dont need to wash it off it dries instantly
    LANOLIN for your nipples when breastfeeding oohhh it helps bigtime and u dont need to wipe it off to feed again although i did as its like earwax consistancy

    If u join the coles baby club & u`ll recieve a free gift bag with HEAPS of samples in it from heaps of different brands, then u get to try & choose what you like. Also if u join the baby club at the amcal chemist they give you a sample bag as well so you can test out their products. I love the avado range for babies & the palmers stuff is good as well. Huggies nappies are great but if u have an ALDI`s store near you their nappies have the same quailty but heaps cheaper in price!! 🙂

    The best products are the ones that make you feel comfortable, belly bands and belts were great i couldnt live without and singlet tops from jay jays stretchy with lace at the bottom great to add lenght to your clothes whil pregnant. as for formula i swear by s26 the range is great and makes changing if needed for say reflux easier because the taste is very similar, as for nappies thats a trial and error topic what works for some may not for others but i love huggies no nappy rash and dont leak! and for older bub heinz foods great quality no probs in 7 years of buying them where i have with golden circle.

    Heinz food is great! So is their Nuture formula if you are going to bottle feed. It`s cheap and I had no problems with it at all.
    For nappy rash, sudacrem is fantastic! It`s the best product I`ve found and works on any kind of rash, including sunburn.
    I`m not sure if these wipes are available everywhere but `Little Angel` wipes are fantastic and at Big W they are only around $15 for a box of 6 packets of 80 wipes. I found these to be just as good as Johnson wipes.

    I smoothered plain almond masage oil on my belly and I have no stretch marks either.
    Blackmores Pregnancy Vitamins (before & after)
    I usually just buy whats on special – the nappies – as they only do their business in them.
    I buy the Heinz food (I keep for back up) usually cook my own.
    Johnson`s baby wipes, Advent bottles for formula.

    During pregnancy I swear by Happy Event (available at chemists) for my tummy – 3 pregnancies, NO stretchmarks!!

    i love natural products so i used a lot of things i made but also the Aromababy range is just delicious pre and post. it is available at target and myer and is so gentle and the smells are devine.
    i use huggies nappies as bub wets thru every other brand i`ve tried.
    i give him “”only organic”” pureed fruit for desert and i make my own vegies for him.
    for formula i give him Heinze Nurture – just the plain normal one. apparently the others are all overrated and just cost more.
    Huggies, johnsons or curash wipes and curash nappy balm or aroma baby balm.
    lol:)

    palmers coco butter and bio oil are great for mum. it`s great to rub into your belly to help minimise and prevent stretch marks.
    Supplements – take a good pregnancy supplement like one from Blackmores or Elevit
    when buying baby lotions, cleansers, wipes etc. go for the fragrance free range. I buy huggies, curash and j&J wipes in the fragrance free range.
    nappy rash cream – I found sudocrem and pawpaw ointment to be one of the best
    lotions – cleansers – I like the QV range of cleansers and creams which were gentle on my babies skin. The Naturals range by J&J is the best out of the J&J range. I recently purchased some baby products from Avene in the Pediatril range. The Cleansing Foam for body and hair is lovely and gentle.
    nappies – I like huggies, babylove, you`ll love coles & aldi nappies. I purchased Huggies newborn in bulk when I was pregnant when they were on special.
