Sarah Collins (34 from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire) is Mum to Eva (2 years, 5 months) and Daniel (10 weeks). Sarah tells MBM more about the Tommee Tippee Nappy Wrapper.

“Having used nappy sacks for the first few weeks when my daughter was born and trying to juggle nappy, cotton wool and wipes going successfully into the nappy sack and then remembering to take it downstairs and out to the bin after every nappy change I quickly looked for an alternative and found this. It’s not the most expensive baby gadget we bought, but now with baby number two on the scene and my daughter just about still in nappies, it has been the best investment and addition to the nursery.”

Suitable from birth until your child is potty trained, The Tommee Tippee Nappy Wrapper is available from www.kiddicare.com for only £9.99, the triple refill packs are £12.99 and well worth their value, Sarah explains further benefits of this product to MBM:

• The Tommee Tippee Nappy Wrapper is easy to use.
• The Nappy Wrapper doesn’t take up a great deal of space
• By using the Nappy Wrapper, it makes the process of getting rid of used nappies hygienic.
• The Tommee Tippee Nappy Wrapper stores up to twenty eight nappies at a time
• Each refill cassette can last last up to one month
• There is no need to fill your outside bin with mounds of individually wrapped nappies.
• The Tommee Tippee Nappy Wrapper makes the disposal of waste products such as wipes, cotton wool and the nappy itself easy and quick, there is no juggling nappy sacks.
• The product is great value for money in comparison with using standard nappy sacks
• The Tommee Tippee Nappy Wrapper saves multiple trips out to the bin to dispose of used nappies.
• The Tommee Tippee Nappy Wrapper is odour free.
• It only takes on simple twist to seal each wrapper.
• An Internal blade in the lid is used to cut the plastic wrapper when you need to empty the tub.

Sarah found it difficult to identify many drawbacks to this product. The only two negative aspects that she could identify were:

• Sometimes the blade does not always cut the plastic so you have to do this manually
• There is no indication when the cassette is going to run out, so you need to have a spare one in the house all times.

Sarah strongly recommends this product to all parents who are struggling with the struggle which nappy sacks can cause. MBM would like to thank Sarah for her time.

Whilst at home it is easy to grab a hot cloth and some spray to ensure that surfaces are hygienic for your little one. However, whilst out it is more difficult to keep things clean.

Parents often use wet wipes to quickly clean surfaces whilst out, for example a supermarket highchair table. However, a wet wipe is a MILD cleaning wipe as it is designed to be used on babies skin so technically it does little to help make a surface/ object sterile.

Keep it simple, pack some Milton Wipes and have knowledge that the wipe you are using WILL clean the surface effectively and create a sterile surface/ area for your child to touch. Milton Wipes are fairly cheap and available from most supermarket chains.

MBM recommends buying a pack to keep those bugs at bay this winter season!

Babies skin is so soft and moisture rich, it’s a shame that as time goes by our skin gets battered with endless lotions, potions and makeup racemes.  Try revitalising your skin with Lush’s ‘Baby Face’.

Baby Face is a natural butter bar which is used for effective cleansing and cleaning. If rubbed upon skin the Baby Face bar melts and can be spread over the skin. Baby Face is a fantastic makeup remover which doesn’t sting like most if you were to get some in your eye (although it isn’t recommended to put it near to your eyes!).

Lush’s Baby Face is a vegan product, each bar is made up from three natural plant butters which make this product smell divine. Pamper yourself and your skin with Lush’s Baby Face. The Baby Face Bar is available for £3.95 from www.lush.co.uk (or from your local Lush Shop).
