Lot's of kids struggle to blow their nose 💨👃 Lot's of kids struggle to blow their nose 💨👃⁠ .⁠ It's not that they don't want to, it's often just because they don't know how. So mums resort to trying to squeeze out the snot as they squirm to get away. Sound familiar 💁‍♀️ ⁠ .⁠ This is where the clever folk at @wonder_aus come in.⁠ . ⁠ They've developed an ingenious training tissue that's as easy as one, two, three to teach kids how to blow their nose. And the best bit, it involves cupcakes 🎂. Yum!⁠ .⁠ We've written an article on the @mumsgrapevine website that takes you through the three simple steps. The link in our bio will take you to the article. ⁠ .⁠ Clear noses await.⁠ ⁠ #trainingtissues #tissue #howto #toddlermess #peppapig #bigw #woolworths #wondernappies #sp #mumsgrapevine
There's a reason why babies' skin is so sensitive. There's a reason why babies' skin is so sensitive.⁠ .⁠ It's because they're born with skin that is up to five times thinner than ours, and it takes years to fully develop all the natural protective layers of adult skin.⁠ .⁠ Babies’ skin might smell delicious and be as smooth as, well, a baby’s bottom 🍑, but having thin skin means being more sensitive to temperature changes, irritated by certain fabrics and sensitive to artificial chemicals and fragrances.⁠ .⁠ That’s where Weleda can help.⁠ .⁠ Weleda has been making 100% certified-natural baby care products that are free from artificial ingredients, preservatives, fragrances and colourants since 1959.⁠ .⁠ Developed in collaboration with midwives, the Weleda Calendula Baby Care range contains the calendula flower (aka marigold 🌼), which combats inflammation and promotes the formation of new tissue, making it perfect for babies’ developing skin.👶⁠ .⁠ 🔖 Right now, Weleda has taken 20% off its entire Calendula Baby Care range of soothing cleansers, baby oil, lotion and protective nappy change cream. Prices as marked. Ends 10/10/20.⁠ .⁠ Available online from Weleda (link in bio) and other leading retailers and pharmacies.⁠ .⁠ 🌼 FUN FACT: Every year over 3000 tonnes of Calendula blossoms are hand-picked in Weleda's own medicinal plant gardens all over the world, including New Zealand.⁠ .⁠ #weleda ##weledaskinfood #sp #sensitiveskin #babyskin #nappyrash #nappyrashcream #marigold #calendula #organic #babycare #babyoil ⁠
