Review: Huggies Natural Baby Wipes

Baby Wipes are a great help for cleaning up the many different messes that baby's make. It's just as well Huggies® Baby Wipes are not only soft and gentle on your baby's skin but also thick and strong enough to deal with even the worst clean ups!


Huggies® baby wipes are made with natural fibres* - 76% pulp. They are also soap, alcohol and fragrance free.

In addition to being soft and gentle on your baby's skin, Huggies® wipes are thick enough to deal with the worse kind of clean up, and we have all seen what they look like! None of us have any great use for a wipe that falls apart mid way through the job! Huggies® baby wipes provide the gentlest care possible and are also large enough to cover your whole hand so you'll need less wipes for each change.

Every Huggies® Baby Wipe is individually treated for even, moist distribution. This means you won't get dry, hard wipes at the top of packs and saturated, soggy wipes at the bottom! Every Huggies® Baby Wipe will be the same - soft, moist and effective.

My Review:
Pros:

  • Fragrance Free
  • Hard top cover
Cons:
  • Poop could leak at the holes of the wipe
  • Too wet, Cant dry bottom quickly
  • Might give rashes
  • Not that thick


Overall: Did not really like the wipes, Was not efficient in cleaning baby's bottom as the poop kept leaking to my hand. There are other better wipes out there that is far more cheaper as well.

Rating: 1/5

Tips: The things to look out for in a wipe is the wetness then the thickness. Its no use to get a wipe that is too wet when you clean baby's bottom because it could contribute to rashes easier. Even if the wipe is more to the dry side but its thick enough to wipe away, its better like that. 

Will I repurchase?: No

Review: Avent Soothing Magic Cream


Description
With allantoin and milk proteins
The all-in-one solution to your baby's daily skincare needs. Apply to face and body to moisturise, remove dry patches, and help heal rashes.

Features
♦ Hypoallergenic
♦ Mild enough for the most sensitive skin

My Review:
Pros: 

  • Smell is nice and pleasant
  • Easily Absorbed
  • Not Sticky
  • Not greasy
Cons:
  • Not moisturising enough
  • Didn't clear rashes
  • Didn't remove dry patches
  • Not suitable for my baby because it did not work
Overall: This was recommended to me twice! Well, you should know by now that my baby is struggling with rashes. Yup! Till now! The very first moment it all popped out, I went straight to kiddy palace to ask them if there were any suitable product to heal rashes fast. They showed me this product and told me that there wasn't any bad feedback as of yet. So I went ahead and bought it and went to another baby shop to ask them the same thing. Surprisingly, They also showed me this product and so i showed them and said. Yeah, I actually just bought so it must be really good huh. I went home and smeared it all over his body - No effect. Next day, I smeared it all over again - No effect. I tried it for a week plus but there were only minor improvements. I even recommended it to someone in a forum, thinking it might help her baby from the good recommendations people had been saying. Well, at least it didn't get worse! So then, i decided that i was a good product but its not suitable for my baby. I am now using it on myself as a regular lotion.

Rating: 2/5

Tips: Try out products even if there are people who say it doesn't work because every baby is different. We'll never know what's suitable for your baby until you try it. 

Will I repurchase?: No

Review: Sterimar Nasal Hygiene Spray


Sterimar is a natural seawater spray that is sterilized and made isotonic for daily nasal hygiene. Its gentle micro-diffusion spray is delivered through a shaped nozzle that fits any nose, even a baby. Sterimar has no preservatives and is drug free. Relief of nasal congestion associated with: 

* hayfever and allergies 
* sinusitis 
* colds 
* post operative nasal care.

My Reviews
Pros:
  • Effective in Clearing blocked nose
  • Safe for babies
  • Moisturises Nose 
Cons:
  • Difficult to press
  • Challenging to give to a baby
Overall: I was prescribed this when my baby had "colds". I'm not sure why they didnt prescribe me the sterimar baby when Baby yo was still under 3 months. Well, he had runny nose and he always had blocked nose. Maybe it was allergies but I just couldn't figure it out. This product helped me alot by easing his congestion specially when he was about to feed. it helped him fuss less and get over the whole block nose saga and be done with it. 

Rating: 4/5

Tips: Sit or stand a baby when using this. I laid him down, which was not actually supposed to. Well, the doctor didn't tell me. Get the sterimar baby for babies instead of the adult one. No side effects or bad reaction even if i used the wrong one.

Will I repurchase?: Yes

Review: California Baby Calendula Cream

Calendula Cream Nature's First-Aid!® 
California Baby® Calendula Cream is excellent for use on general diaper area and may be used on face and body for extra-dry or sensitive skin. Botanically based, our light and fluffy Calendula Cream contains the ingredient of Calendula, which has been used to soothe the skin for centuries. California Baby® Calendula Cream offers deep hydration, absorbs completely, and leaves skin feeling satiny smooth. Use daily for everyday protection and especially when the air is dry and baby's skin needs relief. The entire family can benefit from this soothing, multi-purpose cream. 

My Review:
Pros:

  • Contains organic and sustainably grown vegan ingredients 
  • Soothing
  • Great for Rashes, Baby acne, and diaper area 
  • Hypo-allergenic 
  • Works very well on dry and chapped skin 
  • Light and fluffy consistency
  • Absorbs fast and not greasy
  • Great Smell
Cons:
  • Expensive!
Overall: If you ask me for the best all around treatment cream, this is #1! My baby had baby acne, heat rash and diaper rash and when I use this, results could be seen fast. I was very happy with this product and used it religiously all over his body everyday. However, the tub was all gone in less than a month. I knew I had to try different products to see which ones could be comparable or cheaper. 

Rating: 5/5

Tips: Its best to apply soothing creams after bath and re-apply through out the day if there are dry patches or agitated rashes on babies skin. If you have used a product for a week and no better results, it means its not working. 

Will I repurchase?: Definitely! Yes

Recommended age?: 0+

Review: Snake Brand Prickly Heat Powder in Lavender

This powder is cooling, refreshing, and soothing powder which is effective in relieving itching, prickly heat rash, and skin irritation from the hot weather.

To be used after bath as an antiseptic and absorbent dusting powder.

Scent of lavender makes you feel fresh and relaxed.

My Review:
Pros:
  • Reduces the itch from the rashes
  • Cooling effect prevents heat rash
  • Good for everyday use
Cons:
  • Lavender smell could be a little overwhelming
  • Inhalation of talcum powder in general is bad for the lungs of babies
Overall: Rashes cant leave my baby alone, its like a constant battle that I'm facing most of the time. Blame the heat! His heat rash comes out all the time, we're kinda getting used to it. I know that Talcum is bad for babies as it contributes to asthma and all other lung problems in the long run so I make sure that if I get a powder, it better work! Snake brand is the one I reach to after his bath and if he needs to be refreshed, specially if I see his naughty hands scratching away!

Rating: 4/5

Tips: Try and change your fluffy powder duster to a flat one so the powder particles won't be easily inhaled by your baby. Block his nose when you are applying on the neck or his chest.

Will I repurchase?: Yes

Recommended age: 0+

My Review:

Cons: None

Overall: I bought this when I was back in Manila for our holiday. I have only seen it recently in Cold Storage but not before or anywhere else. Well, I was curious to try all their products and it is on the pricey side there in Manila which is weird cos its kinda cheap here in Singapore. It was way too much for our whole trip though but too bulky to bring back cos i bought the medium sized thinking it wont be enough. Overall, I was happy with this wash.

Rating: 4/5

Review: Pupsik Studio Pupsik Pouch Sling in Tanzanite



Pupsik baby pouches are all made from stretchable cotton sateen that is soft and comfortable to use. Our stylish pouches come in 4 different sizes to suit the person using the pouch. The same size can be used on the same baby from birth till toddler (professionally tested up to 16kg). You will be changing the carry position of baby in the pouch (from a cradle carry to sitting position) to suit him as he grows. Below are instructions of different wearing. 

(click for larger view)
My Review:
Pros:

  • All the Benefits of Baby Wearing 
  • Easy to wear/assemble
  • Easy to keep in the bag and carry around
  • Washes easily
  • Long lasting
  • Cooling
Cons:
  • Shoulder and Back ache when you carry your baby for long
  • It could get uncomfortable when the baby grows bigger
Overall: I enjoy carrying my baby in this pouch when we are outdoors, the longest i have carried him in it was 10 hours. He prefers this more than his stroller. I carry him in it when he is fussy at home as well but this is on rare occasion when he wants to be carried all the way. I enjoy this carrier the best than most of the carriers out there. 

Rating: 5/5

Tips: Be careful when you put baby in the carrier, always make sure that the baby is secure in the carrier before going hands free. Re-adjust if you feel uncomfortable as this means that the baby is uncomfortable as well. Always support your baby just in case of any accidents. Make sure that the baby has a good air flow.

Review: Avent Feeding Bottle Classic

Good Feeding, Good Sleeping
Helps settle your baby,especially at night. Fussing is by far the most commonly known crying behaviour in babies. The Philips Avent Advanced classic feeding bottle significantly reduces colic and fussing. Fussing is reduced specially at night.

My Review:
Pros:

  • Measurements are shown clearly
  • Anti-colic
  • Wide neck could easily be cleaned
  • Bpa-free
Cons: 
  • It leaks!
  • The nipple is hard/tough
Overall:
The two cons already gave me such a headache, I had to buy new ones. It leaks so bad that my baby's shirt is already drenched by the time i know it. The nipple is so hard that he rejects his milk. luckily the pigeon nipples are able to replace them. But since it was a present, I didn't mind changing the nipples. At least now he drinks his milk.

Rating: 2/5

Tips: Look for the most suitable nipple for your baby. For the first month you're bottle feeding, buy different ones to see which one your baby prefers. Take note of the nipple size as well so that your baby wouldn't fuss when feeding. I recommend to get the taller bottles as well so that you can use it longer. 

Will I repurchase?: No

  • Alcohol free - gentle on baby's delicate skin.
  • Ingredients:

  • For the entire family. 
  • Ideal for 101 cleaning purposes, e.g. make-up removal, travelling and sports.

Packing:

My Review: 
Pros:
  • You can use it for diaper change and meals
  • Does not tear easily
  • Wipes are always fresh because there's a top hard cover
Cons:
  • Smell could be overwhelming
  • Wetness of the wipe stays on the skin
  • Gave rashes to Baby yo.
  • Since it could be use for meals, it could be perfect if its anti-bac
Overall: This wipes is not bad but it gave baby yo a rash. I feel that i need a wipe that has fragrance when Baby yo poops so that the smell could be masked out. However, fragrance free is still the best because it may contribute to the breaking out of rashes. 

Tips: Buy your wipes in bulk to get cheaper discounts since you're gonna be needing it alot and would end up repurchasing. Test out the wipes to see if he breaks out with rashes. This will determine if your baby is suitable to the wipes.

Will i repurchase?: No because it gave my baby rashes.

Review: Avent Freeflow Pacifier 0-6 months



The Philips AVENT Freeflow pacifier offers a durable soothing solution for infants up to six months old. Nipples are made of odor-free silicone, which is easy to sterilize and resists becoming sticky or misshapen. The special shape of these BPA Free pacifiers allows for healthy development of a baby's palate, teeth, and gums.

Promotes Orthodontic Health
The collapsible nipple works with the natural development of a baby's teeth and gums. The nipple is flat and drop-shaped, respecting the shape of your baby's palate even when the pacifier is positioned upside down in the mouth.

Durable, Taste-Free Silicone
The Freeflow pacifier is made of durable silicone. Silicone is taste and odor free, so your baby is less likely to reject it. Silicone nipples are strong and resist becoming sticky, discolored, or misshapen.

Secure Ring Handle for Quick Retrieval
The pacifier features a security ring, allowing for quick retrieval or removal and making it easy for your baby to grasp. Six holes in the pacifier cap allow for greater airflow, reducing the possibility of irritation on your baby's face. The Freeflow pacifier is BPA free.

Easy to Sterilize
Sterilizing these pacifiers is simple--put them in a Philips AVENT steam sterilizer or boil for five minutes. Philips AVENT pacifiers and their caps are also dishwasher safe. Add one of the included snap-on caps after cleaning to keep the pacifier sterile until it's needed.

My Review:
Pros:

  • The shape of the pacifier doesn't interfere with baby's breathing
  • Translucent clear colour makes it easy to clean and spot dirt
  • Has a snap-on protective cap which is great for hygiene purposes
  • Easy to put and take out from baby's mouth
Cons
  • The nipple is not that fantastic
Overall: This is the first pacifier that Baby yo used. However, he is not the pacifier type and more of a finger-sucking type. It was together in a set that came with the sterilizer which was given to me. He used it here and there when he liked it but it was good that he wasn't attached to it much because it maybe a bad habit when he grows older. He used it more to fall asleep rather than "sucking purposes". At the end, he didn't care much for it after a month or so. 

Rating: 3/5

Tips: Do not be afraid to offer your baby a pacifier specially if you're baby is always fussy. You could always use it for soothing purposes specially when you're outdoors and scared to be stared at when the baby starts crying. Try looking for clues as to why your baby cries rather than giving it to the him as soon as he yells because this encourages a bad habit to break. It may also affect your bond in understanding your baby.

Will I repurchase: No

Review: Pigeon Liquid Cleanser



The PIGEON Bottle Nipple & Vegetable Liquid Cleanser is the ultimate natural cleanser and is essential for baby's health. Tried and tested by mothers all over the world, it has proven to be highly effective in killing bacteria found in milk. Made from 100% food grade ingredients, it is safe and effective for cleaning baby accessories, such as bottles, nipples, pacifiers and toys, and is even suitable for  washing fruit and vegetables.

Excellent Cleanser with Anti-Bacterial Features
It is not adequate to wash the nursing bottle with water alone. Made from edible carbohydrate delivatives, PIGEON Liquid Cleanser is suitable for washing the nursing bottle because it is able to remove fats and proteins, which causes dirt. PIGEON Liquid Cleanser is a much stronger wash than regular detergent commonly found in kitchens.


Safe for Fruits and Vegetables
Apart from keeping baby's toys and accessories clean, the cleanser can be used to wash fresh produce as well. Made from edible carbohydrate derivatives, the cleanser is great for keeping baby's accessories squeaky clean and is safe for fruits and veggies as well. It is recommended to wash fruits and vegetables before consumption while pregnant because it effectively sterilizes the fresh produce by removing agricultural chemicals.
Gentle on Skin
There is no need to worry about dry skin as the cleanser foams lightly and rinses off easily, and works to protect the skin.

Sizes Available: 200ml ,450ml, 700ml, 700ml(refill)


My Review:
Pros: 
  • Gentle on skin
  • A little goes a long way
  • Effective cleaning
  • Takes out the smell of milk from the bottles
  • Washes all baby items for meal time even fruits and vegies
  • Smell is not overwhelming
  • Anti-Bac
Cons: None
Overall: A "must buy" item in our grocery list! I'm doing the washing for all Baby yo's feeding items, so I know that a little goes a long way. I always make sure that I wash his bottles squeaky clean because I'm very scared of a bacteria illness that Baby yo might get. This is great for that because my mind is at ease that "Kills 99.9% of Bacteria" is said on the bottle.

Rating: 4/5

Tips: Washing baby's items with water alone is not enough at all, There are always bacteria everywhere and if you're gonna wash it, it means that the baby might put it in his mouth so always remember to add on that liquid cleanser. You should not forget that the average dishwasher cleanser is not suitable for babies and should invest on cleansers safe for babies with anti-bac properties.

Will I repurchase?: Yes

Review: Medela Mini Electric Double Breast Pump





My Review:
Pros:
  • Easy to assemble, use and clean
  • Very efficient
  • Best for home use
  • You can use it for single and double pumping
  • Adjustable vaccum
  • Bottles provided are BPA-free
Cons:
  • Vibration is slighty noisy
  • Bulky to bring out
  • Buttons to change speed of suction is not easy to press
Overall: This was passed on to me by my Godma on my baby shower. It helped me when I was breastfeeding for a month. It was very efficient when it came to producing milk. It was great in telling me how much milk my breast had. My baby was a fussy eater and my supply was just either too much or too little. Even if I wanted so badly to breast feed, it was just not the best for the both of us.

Rating: 4/5

Tips: Breast Feeding is recommended for at least 1 year. Buy electric pumps for easy and frustration-free pumping. Emotional and mental support is needed for new moms who is breast feeding so you could enjoy the journey with your baby.

Will I repurchase: Yes!

Recommended age: Breastfeeding is recommended till 12 months of age.

My Review:

Pros: 
  • Smell is not overwhelming

  • Thick cream makes it more suitable as a barrier cream
  • Not moisturising
  • Did not prevent rashes in diaper & neck area
  • Did not treat rashes in diaper & neck area
  • Did not help in the redness of the fold of the skin
Overall: Someone gave this to me but I only opened it up when Baby yo had rashes on his diaper area and on his neck. Turns out that its heat rash thus, this was one of the products recommended in Kiddy Palace. However, this product is very disappointing because it did not help the rashes even after a few days of application. 

Rating: 1.5/5

Tips: Always check baby's body for any rash and treat it immediately so that it would not be more irritated and agitated. Apply cream for at least 3 days to see results. Stop immediately if you do not see any improvements. If it gets worsen, seek medical help as baby might be allergic to certain products of the cream.

  • It enables you to access wipes from the outside to clean sticky fingers. The internal hatch gives you quick access to wipes when changing nappies.
  • Changing mat folds and fits inside the storage compartment.
  • You could fit up to two nappies, disposable bags and a hand sanitiser or a tube of diaper cream.
  • Bubbly designs to match either a girl or a boy
  • Great organizer
  • Built-in refillable wipes container: fits most brands of wipes. Keeps wipes moist and clean.
  • Flexible arm to keep everything in place
  • Completely BPA (Bisphenol-A), Phthalate and PVC free.
  • Keep one in your handbag, nappy bag, car and pram, so you’ll never be without your essential baby box.

Overall: I bought this when I was in Manila because there were no wipe cases to be found here in Singapore that easily. I found it too bulky to bring a few diaper with the big pack disposable wipes and a changing mat altogether so this is a great item to carry in my bag. I can even fit my diaper cream in it! I usually bring a big bag will all his necessities plus his bottle-feeding items so the bag is always huge. This has organised his diaper items great enough for me to bring this case alone kto the toilet and leave the bag with the hubby. I can even just bring this when we're going to the nearby coffee shop or the supermarket.

Rating: 4.5/5

Tips: Remember to bring enough nappy changes and wipes to the last the entire trip when you're outdoors, you'll never expect a poopy explosion or diarrhoea so always be prepared.

Review: Drapolene Cream

My Pharmacy Singapore Review:
For the treatment and prevention of nappy rash and nappy redness. Drapolene Cream will also provide soothing relief for minor burns and wounds. The specially formulated cream is easy to apply and will not block the action of one-way nappy liners or disposable nappies.

Indication:
For the prevention and treatment of nappy rash: Apply Drapolene Cream evenly at every nappy change, paying particular attention to the folds of the skin. For minor burns and wounds: Apply liberally to the affected area as necessary. It is important to ensure that the affected area is dry and free from all traces of soap.

My Review: 
Pros:
  • light on skin 
  • not bad as a barrier cream 
  • fragrance is not overwhelming 

Cons:
  • pink colored cream may transfer to clothes and beddings 
  • Does not prevents diaper rash 
  • Does not treat diaper rash 

Overall: I got this as a present for my baby shower so I was happy to give this a try. For 55g, its quite much to use.

However, this is not suitable for my baby because he had some urinary and diaper rash which was not prevented and treated like what it claims to be.
Rating: 2/5

Tips: Apply barrier creams thinly so that skin can breathe. Try to apply barrier creams after each nappy change.

Will I repurchase?: Nope!

Review: Nuk Baby Wipes

        
My Review:
Pros:

  • Extra thick and strong so poop don't transfer to your fingers
  • Extra soft on baby's bum
  • Fragrance free
  • Reseal-able pack
  • Can be used for fresh-up wipes
  • Size: 18.0cm x 20.0cm
  • 80 wipes per pack
  • Comes in mini size pack for 10pcs

Cons:

  • No hard top cover for better freshness

Overall: I have tried the most popular ones like pigeon, Johnsons and huggies but this is my favourite so far. Its funny cause I have to think twice when I wanna buy other brands cause I know i'm just asking for trouble when i know that he will get rashes if I switch to other brands. The thickness is nice because the poop doesn't leak through which is gross cause you'll hand will have poop and the smell of it lingers! 

Rating: 5/5

Tips: Always remember to close the seal to maintain freshness. Use wipes case to store wipes when travelling out of the house to lessen the bulk in the bag

Will i repurchase?: Yes!
