Streamline your daily routine with our essential guide and handy products to boost your little one’s health and wellbeing.

 

Baby Mealtime Essentials

 

Convenience and nutrition

  • Why it’s essential: The days are busy and there are tons of things on-the-go, including yourself! Between work, family, and chores, it’s always a good idea to find more efficient ways of preparing your baby’s meals. Purees, baby cereals, and other ready meals take the time and effort off your own full plate.
  • Talking point: Including convenience meals in your baby’s diet can be surprisingly healthy and time-efficient. Think about all the tasks you have to juggle in a day. Now add the challenge of conjuring up food for your child that’s nutritious and satisfying. Not always easy, right? As your baby transitions from milk to purees to more solid foods, get creative in offering finger foods and easy snack options that will boost their motor skills, enhance their development, and make mealtimes less stressful. For toddlers, self-serve snacks also encourage self-feeding, which fosters their independence.

Supporting developmental milestones

  • Why it’s essential: As your child grows and develops, their nutritional needs evolve, and so do their developmental milestones. Mealtimes become vital opportunities to learn new skills, such as how to properly grasp a utensil. Be on the lookout for products that support these milestones and watch your child’s physical and cognitive development soar!
  • Talking point: Introduce age-appropriate foods and utensils. Doing so can significantly boost your child’s developmental progress. Want to teach coordination and better grip? Try toddler-sized utensils in fun and vibrant colours to stimulate hand-eye coordination. There’s also great value in adding new textures and flavours to your child’s plate to boost their curiosity and creativity.

Safe eating

  • Why it’s essential: It’s great to have healthy options for your child, but food safety should also be a top priority. At these ages and stages, children are still learning how to properly chew and swallow their food, so choking is a common hazard. With the right products and foods, you can make sure your child is safe at the table.
  • Talking point: Choose non-toxic, BPA-free products, soft-tipped spoons, spill-proof cups, and divided plates with rounded edges. These options make it easier for your child to feed themselves safely without risk of injury or accidents.

Baby Toiletries

 

Gentle on delicate skin

  • Why it’s essential: A baby’s skin is fragile and sensitive. As adults, our skin is thicker and less porous, but your baby’s skin is thinner, making it more vulnerable to irritation and dryness. Using the wrong products can lead to irritation, dry skin, or rashes.
  • Talking point: Choose gentle, hypoallergenic products that are free from harsh chemicals to protect a child’s sensitive skin. There are a range of baby skincare products that are developed specifically to help maintain your child’s natural moisture balance and prevent irritation.
  • Product suggestion: Dove Baby Lotion Sensitive 200ml

Supporting your baby’s skin health

  • Why it’s essential: Your baby’s skin is extremely delicate and sensitive, especially in their first few months. The goal should be to keep their skin clean, well-nourished, and free of diaper rash, eczema, and general irritation.
  • Talking point: Start by using the correct baby skincare products, such as gentle moisturisers and barrier creams to banish dryness, soothe irritation, and guard the skin against environmental influences that will make them uncomfortable. Also, a proper skincare routine keeps most baby skin issues like cradle cap or rashes away, making your baby's skin soft, smooth, and healthy.
  • Product suggestion: Himalaya Head to Toe Body Wash 200ml

Establishing healthy hygiene habits

  • Why it’s essential: Developing good hygiene routines for your baby goes a long way in creating excellent hygiene habits as they grow. At this stage, your baby is naturally inquisitive and wants to touch and taste everything they can find, which can quickly lead to infections and illnesses from bacteria and germs.
  • Talking point: It’s not just about keeping your child free of infections; you also want kids to develop a sense of responsibility for their own hygiene. As they grow older, they start to understand the importance of personal hygiene and become self-sufficient in managing it. These habits are key to better health, preventing the spread of bacteria, and teaching your child about self-care.
