REVIEW: ECO BY NATY RANGE



USE CODE 'AMYPYT' FOR 15% OFF 

 We have recently been trying out the Eco by Naty range. We were lucky enough to get a few of their lovely products in the post so we've been giving them a go for a few weeks and I thought i'd let you know how Amelia has been getting on with them and what I think of the range. 

 First of all Naty is a biodegradable and environmentally friendly brand. They started off by creating a Eco-friendly nappy and now they have a full range products including wipes, pull on pants and bath and body care.
Let's start with their nappies, I really wanted to use re-usable nappies but as we live in a small flat I don't really have anywhere to keep them, hang them to dry etc so decided to use disposable nappies. I like the idea of using biodegradable nappies as this is a little more environmentally friendly. These nappies feel really soft and gentle on babies skin but are tough and not flimsy. They are very absorbent and haven't leaked at all. They are certified by the Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association. Swedish Asthma and Allergy Association is a Swedish national association working to improve the conditions and the understanding of people living with asthma, allergy, intolerance and hyper sensitivity. The only downside about these nappies is the price, they are on the pricey side and a little more than i'd like to spend on nappies however if you are in the market for a Eco-friendly, disposable nappy they are a reasonable price. 

As well as the nappies we have been using the Sensitive wipes (the unscented ones) on Amelia, I haven't tried the lightly scented ones on her yet as her skin is really really sensitive and she has had reactions to wipes in the past. The wipes are nice, not too wet or dry. They are very soft and gentle. The scented wipes smell nice and fresh, not chemically. The wipes are 98.5% water so designed to be gentle on sensitive skin. They are hypoallergenic so don't irritate the skin and prevent nappy rash. 

Another product i've been using is the Baby Bath Foam. It contains No fragrances. No parabens. No mineral oils. Which is great and means I don't have to worry about using it on Amelia's sensitive skin. It doesn't have a scent so is really gentle on baby. It leaves skin feeling clean and soft. It's so gentle you can use it everyday, it won't dry out babies skin. 

One product I was really impressed with was the nappy sacks, I tend to buy any old nappy sacks but these are such a good idea. There's no point in using a biodegradable nappy and then putting it into a plastic bag and visa versa! They are so thick and such a lovely quality, they come on a roll so easy to use. They are a nice design, cream with green leaves. 

I haven't tried the nappy cream yet, Amelia doesn't suffer with a sore bottom (hasn't yet) so haven't needed to try this yet but the nappy cream is Hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested and again suitable for everyday use. It's a healing organic rash cream with tried and tested natural ingredients that will soothe irritated skin and reduce redness often caused by trapped moisture.  


I have been really impressed with the Naty products and would love to try some of their other products, especially more of their Bath and Body care range. I would really reccommend their nappies if you are looking for a Eco-Diaper.

REVIEW: YOOMI SELF-WARMING BOTTLE




We recently received the Yoomi Self-Warming Bottle to review. We have used it a few times so I thought i'd share my thoughts.



I hadn't heard of the Yoomi bottle so when I heard about it I was so intrigued to find out how it worked. The bottle contains a heating element that heats milk up as it pours out of the bottle. The heating element is warm for up to an hour meaning your bottle will stay warm for an hour.



The idea is that you would have a bottle of milk that is cold/ room temperature and it heat up to body temperature. You can use breastmilk or formula with the Yoomi Self- Warming bottle.



The first thing that popped into my head when I heard about the Yoomi Self-warming bottle was the fact that I wouldn't need to get out of bed to do the night feed! I followed the instructions and sterilized and heated the heating element using the microwave. I took the bottle, heating element and a ready-made bottle of formula to bed with us. I used a ready-made as they can be stored at room temperature and I felt that making up a bottle would be a waste because it would only last 2 hours and Amelia doesn't usually wake till around 4am. She woke up and I poured the ready made into the Yoomi bottle and as instructed I pressed the button and left for 30 seconds and then I turned the bottle upside down and again left for 30 seconds and just like that the milk was ready and warm and Amelia drank it with no problems at all. I was a little worried as we've always used Mam bottles and the Yoomi is very different but she took to it right away and she drank all of her milk. I like that once you have got the heating element ready that you can use it anytime and as long as you dont press the button it will be ready. It was lovely not having to get out of bed to do the night-feed as Amelia is still sleeping next to us in our room. I liked that it was ready in 60 seconds. It's really easy to use, it's literally the push of a button.



I haven't taken it of the house yet but again the concept is great for being out and about, there's no need to worry about how your going to heat the milk up. We are planning on going for a few picnics over the next few weeks and this will be perfect to bring along so I don't have to worry about how i'm going to heat up Amelia's milk.



The Yoomi Self-warming bottle retails from £23.95* Right now they are on offer for £17.99 and include a free warmer worth £15. 



I think the bottle is fab and I really wish we had it when Amelia was younger and was feeding every few hours during the night. I think it will be fab for people who are breastfeeding and want to express some milk as it will heat the breastmilk up really easily to body temperature. I loved that I didn't have to get out of bed to feed Amelia, it heats the milk to the perfect temperature and it's so straight-forward and easy to use.

REVIEW: HELLO SNUGGLES




We recently received a couple of products from www.hellosnuggles.com so I thought I would share the products with you and let you know what we think of them. 

Hello Snuggles is an online store that sells loads of baby products from blankets to snuggles, swaddles, bibs and many more. They have a really good selection of different products and lots of colours and patterns to choose from

The first product we have is the Giraffe Snuggle, a snuggle is like a comforter. It has a blanket bit and then the Giraffe head is attached. The Snuggle is so so soft, it's a lovely fleece material. I have washed this and it's washed up like brand new. The colours are lovely and I think the Giraffe is so cute, a little unusual. You normally get bears or a bunny on baby toys such as this. Hello Snuggle do lots of other animals too such as an Elephant, Owl and a Fox. 

The other product we have is this gorgeous pink fluffy blanket. It's a really lovely size, it's not too big but not too small. It fits really well in Amelia's carry cot on the pram. It's been perfect during the cold weather we've been having. As you can see it's folded really nice and tied up with a bow so would make a lovely baby shower gift. The material is so soft and fluffy and just such a lovely blanket. I thought it would be perfect for those newborn photos and it's so soft and gentle on baby's skin. 

I'm super happy with both of the products we have been sent over, the quality is amazing and they are both lovely products. They have lots of lovely products that would make lovely gifts for someone who is expecting a baby or as a gift for the newborn.
