WaterWipes

“Inbetween townships my daughter was vomitting and we found this wipe came in handy for just giving her little mouth a refreshing afterwards. This is a simple and unscented wipe that is perfect for that kind of thing when you don’t want any chemicals, scents or added stuff.” bh member – clearcrystalwater

HL7 Head Lice Comb

“oh my god, what a life saver!!! A must for parents with primary school kids!!! Easy and very effective.” bh member- Jodie71

Dettol Glen 20 Spray Disinfectant

Glen 20 is by far the best disinfectant spray. It comes in a range of scents that all smell amazing. It is great at getting rid of bad smells and generally freshening up the house. the spray cap is easy to use and you don’t need to use that much to get your house smelling wonderful in no time. It also comes in a smaller size which I thought was handy for in the bathroom.” bh member – Isabelbolton

Sudocrem Healing Cream

“I have always used this for my kids and i can really say that this works wonders on baby rash. It is really rich and thick cream that really gives a soothing and protective barrier on babies skin. I have three daughters and i am using this since 2010 when my first baby was born. I have tried other brands also but i must say that i have always come back to sudo cream as this is the most effective one.this has become the most trusted and reliable brand for me and i am sure for many mothers as well. It comes in various sizes from tiny one to the large tub . This has worked wonderfully on worse rashes also so I recommend this product.” bhmember – Mandy

 

QV Kids Wash

“I love QV kids wash. I have been using it on my 15mth old since she was 8 wks old as she started getting very dry patchy skin. I use it from head to toe and it’s so gentle on her delicate sensitive skin.” bh member – K.B

Johnson’s Limited Edition Mickey Mouse Collectable BAND-AID

“How cute are these? My daughter loves band-aids and wants to apply them even ehen she doesn’t have an ‘ouchie’, but I imagine not all kids are the same and it might be difficult for some parents to apply a bandaid to a sore. It’s much easier to persuade a child to wear a band-aid with Mickey Mouse on the front! I find that Johnson band-aids are gentle on youbg, tender skin and it doesn’t hurt my child when it’s time to take them off. The cute tin is a bonus too!” bh member – Peace.Love.Empathy.

Colgate Junior Smiles Soft Toothbrush (aged 2-5 years)

“Both my boys love these brushes and frankly so do I. The size is great for little hands to hold onto and they really get a great all over clean of there pearly whites. Unlike other brands we’ve tried they don’t seem to last as long as these ones do, the bristles are soft and durable but strong enough to use brush after brush, the bristles don’t fall out after a week or two of brushing so now I find im buying less toothbrushes often. My kids love the cartoon designs so its easier to know whose is who as we don’t buy the same. And there’s always no arguments at brushing time in the mornings and at night.” bh member – Kylskani

Vanessa Megan Bug off My Baby

“I use this insect repellant on the entire family including my 19-month-old. It’s made up of a blend of certified organic oils including cedarwood, tea tree, lavender and eucalyptus. It’s a natural way to protect us from getting bitten, smells great and my daughter doesn’t mind it being applied.” bh’s Kristy
