Superdrug My Little Star New Mum Nipple Cream 75ml

An absolute bargain price, this Superdrug My Little Star New Mum Nipple cream is designed to keep your nipples moisturised, soft and protected if you are breast feeding, I've personally been combo-feeding.
Containing lanolin from sheep, which is the main ingredient in most nipple creams due to its extreme moisturising properties and it's very natural. You can therefore apply it and then feed later without washing off as no fear of poisoning bubba.

Every breastfeeding Mum gets sore nipples at some point just due to the intensive demand, so a little bit of this helps keep them from feeling as if they have been sandpapered or scrubbed with a wire brush. It's just as good as the more expensive brands in my opinion - and the efficacy is good.
Apply to nipple area with fingers and massage in gently. Wipe off any excess cream before breastfeeding. After feeding is complete, wipe your breast gently to help prevent soreness. Use once or twice daily.

Superdrug New Mum Breast Pads are designed to absorb excess milk during late pregnancy and after your baby is born. The moisture-proof backing offers added leakage protection to keep you comfortable and dry. Discreet with adhesive tabs for extra confidence.
These are a little small, so if you have gnat bites like me - perfect! Realistically I think they're designed to just cover the areola rather than whole breast, and other more expensive counterparts have left me itchy where they rub at the side of the breast.

They work perfectly well if positioned correctly in a well-fitted bra, and are a fraction of the price of some of the well-known brands. Great for penny-saving Mums on maternity leave or stay-at-home Mums.
Peel off the adhesive backing tape and place the pad inside the cup of your bra with the adhesive strip against your underwear. Adjust for comfort. Change regularly to help prevent soreness and chapping, particularly when breast feeding when the flow of milk may increase.
Save yourself some money by opting for these products from Superdrug.com that don't scrimp on high standards.

HOT MUMMAS | Newborn nappies - nappy poo year!

Sponsored post

This is officially a December post, but having been run ragged with a newborn little boy, a rather traumatic birth, then a further 3-4 days in hospital I haven't had a chance to post it. So here goes...

My little Albie was born on the 30th November, and like his mother he needs lots of attention! The little mite was born after an arduous 16hr labour, which is all now forgotten and the only pain now is his regular demands and stinky poops.

I was lucky enough to get some Superdrug my little star nappies to try on my little man and he's currently contentedly snoozing whilst snuggly in one.

The newborn nappies I'm trialling are soft with plenty of room for any big explosions. They're designed for babies from 4-11lbs (he was 6'13lbs).

When I first tried them on his little bottom and skinny legs, they were so baggy I simply folded over the waistband and affixed the handy velcro tabs to meet diagonally in the middle to ensure a secure fit.

Now he's rapidly packed on a few pounds he's around 8-9lbs ATM (I know, piggy!) they fit perfectly and the tabs attach equally to far edges and give him plenty of movement which is good as he's always kicking his little legs (colic!)

What I like a lot about the nappies is a reduced amount of bulk at the belly designed so baby's belly button can breathe and heal without catching on nasty scratchy waistbands (and for the record he has a lovely perfect 'inny' now).

The elasticated waistband features a delicate print (more for us rather than baby I think!) but the stretchy elastic ensures lots of movement, so no pinching.

The nappy offers a secure fit so no wee wee up the back disasters like I've discovered with other ill-fitting nappies (or that cd be my partners attempt at putting one on!)

I also like the elasticated leg 'cuffs' that are designed to keep leakages at bay, but baby perfectly clean and dry.

The nappies tend to get heavier when there's been a 'delivery' so rather than smell the offensive matter, you'll know when he's ready for a change.

I've not experienced spillages or looseness or even aggravation to his delicate little skin.

However, despite them being suitable for smaller babies, unless you have the fabulous origami talent efforts of myself, they're not ideal for all fingers and thumbs dad or out of practise nanny when it comes to a tiny baby.

So unless these nappies are in the hands of us deft and talented mummies, for premature babies they may be a rather fiddly to get a secure fit.

But as I said before, I never personally found it a problem to get them snug nor did my friend with an ultra tiny baby, but dad might!

I have to say, before Albie, I had NEVER attempted a nappy before. Ever! So this is all very fresh and new to me. Maybe I don't have enough knowledge in the nappy stakes, however I do know my boy is never stinky or screaming as he's never sitting in a soiled, stinky nappy.

Anyway the best bit about these nappies is the price point - if you'd noticed all the escalating costs, and excitement of buying an outfit for your little one every time you pop out, having as little expense as poss on what we'd class as toilet roll - is a godsend!

At £3.89 per pack of 32 or a special offer of 2 packs i.e 64 for £7.00 that works out at just under 11p per nappy.

He's a very happy chappy in his super Superdrug snug and comfortable nappies!
