Looking for recommendations for things like nipple balm/postpartum care products for mum (e.g. the expert midwife range/lansinoh etc), and then baby toiletries too!
Keen to try and keep them as natural as possible, and cruelty free too!

I preferred expert midwife nipple balm to the Lansinoh. I also used it as a lip balm when I no longer needed it for my nips haha. X

There’s a good brand called creme de boeuf that make natural nappy rash cream with tallow xx

thanks!! Did you use anything else that was useful from the lansinoh range?

not really, I did have the silverette cups for the first few weeks of breastfeeding as my nipples were very sore.
What sort of things are you looking to get? Is it for yourself ?
With baby toiletries I got all the Nala stuff but tbh I’ve not been using anything on her as I try to stay away from chemicals even if it’s ‘natural’
She just has plain water bath and then the tallow nappy rash cream xx

Oh and I got the lansinoh freezer bags to store breast milk x

I just realised we have the same name! I thought I was @ myself 🤣🤣🤣

yeah for me, but FTM so not entirely sure what I'll need! I guess at the moment trying to get an idea of which brands people have liked so that when I do need something I can feel more confident just going ahead with those purchases!
That's great to know re baby too! Thanks 🙏

I wouldn’t go mad, I’d just get basics.
I’d also suggest using cotton wool pads and water to wipe baby’s bum as they don’t like the cold wipes 🤣
We use Aldi nappies.
Zip baby grows are the easiest so get plenty of those.
We use mam dummies and bottles but I only introduced those after 4 weeks of breastfeeding to avoid any confusion.
If there’s anything else you need advice on just let me know :) xx

Amazing thank you!

At the start of my pregnancy I had really sore itchy nipples. I used the lansinoh nipple cream and it was amazing! And it says on it that you don't need to wash it off before breastfeeding so if your planning to breastfeed that's a bonus..... X

Same with the expert midwife , you don’t need to wash that off.
Maybe go with the cheapest and see which one you prefer hun, they’ve probs got same ingredients in xx
