There is one person (well thing) that has had my back all
the way through Motherhood! It has helped me through poo explosions, spaghetti
fights, pen on the couch, makeup mishaps and the list literally could go on
FOREVER- but I will spare you the details.
This Mother’s knight in shining armour, or more like plastic
covering would be none other then a packet (or a box) of Baby wipes!!
Dead set when you become a Mother you may as well looking at
buying shares in baby wipes, as you will spend a mini fortune on them but
couldn’t spend a day without them; very much a love hate relationship.
In our house (well car, bags and just about around ever
corner) you will find a stash of baby wipes, even now my kiddies aren’t babies
anymore.
Baby wipes start from even before kiddies for some like
myself. Coming in handy when doing your make-up!
But for most they are one of the first things along with
nappies you buy when getting up the duff, and then will continue using them
right up to primary school! I still use them on my grade one little girl while
we are out as almost all children were given the magical power of making a
great mess of themselves.
A brand of wipes that has recently made it into my little
mitts is Baby Bumkins.
I am not going to lie before being approached I had never
actually heard of this brand, and tend to stick to the ones I know. There is also a good reason why I haven’t
heard of these and that is due to the fact that they were only recently
launched into the Aussie market (IGA to be specific).
For me sticking to those I trust came from an experience
when I first had Hayley; so almost 7 years ago. I was changing her first nappy
as you do, and it was that horrid black one ( I know all Mummies and Daddies
out there know EXACTLY the one I am talking about) and as I went to wipe with
fancy smelling wipes my two fingers went straight through the wipe and low and
behold my fingers were greeted by a BIG mess!! It had me gagging and scrambling
to the bathroom, which is quite hard right after having a baby, may I add! This
is what started my mission (and spent my other halves life savings haha) to buy
every single wipe my supermarket had to find a wipe that was not only soft but
also VERY strong!
So this was the first test these wipes underwent while in my
hot little hands, and I am happy to report that they pass with flying colours!
Some Mummies out there might like fragrance-free products or
may not be able to use fragranced products, as their little ones are sensitive.
But I have been blessed with cruisey (probably made from concrete) kids as
nothing bothers them skin wise. So if I
go to the shops I am always going to reach for the lightly scented baby wipe.
If you didn’t guess it already the lightly scented Baby Bumkins baby wipes are my preferred wipes!
Baby Bumkins have
made your life easier when walking through the baby isle as well. If you wanted
a non-fragranced product you just look for the yellow packet.
If you wanted fragrance that reminds me of newborn baby then
you just look for the purple packaging- simple.
You know how I was talking about buying shares in baby
wipes, the good thing about Baby Bumkins
is you get pretty good value when you purchase them. To buy a pack of 80 soft,
thick wipes this will only cost you around the $4 mark ($3.99 RRP
actually)! Or you have the option of
buying bulk and getting three packs of 80 for $9.99.
For some of you a baby wipe is a baby wipe, but not for this
Mummy J
It has to be good quality and with stand those poopie situations and even
withstand a eyeliner bingle.
Two thumbs up for the team behind Baby Bumkins, what a great addition to the baby wipes clan!
This wonderful product talk is brought to you by none other
then one of my faves- Nuffnang
and Baby Bumkins who is now a baby
wipe fave of mine!
