As mums, we all know that bath time can be a real challenge with babies and toddlers, especially if it involves a hair wash!  There are so many products on the market, it can be difficult to know which to buy.

Which is why we are so excited to announce the Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo Review.

  • Cetaphil baby hair and body wash will buy again

    I was very excited when I received my package of the cetaphil baby wash and shampoo along with the sample sizes for friends (might I add very generous at 50 mls each) hubby used it first when he bathed our now 2 year old and squirted a heap I thought oh his so wasteful. My son enjoyed his bath and didn’t cry when it dripped onto his face as he often has before with other washes. The scent is not strong it is light and pleasent, it dosnt strip any moisture from your hands, hair and skin after use it still feels hydrated.His skin and hair was nice and clean fresh and not irritated.

    The only issue I have is that when I used the product the same thing happend as it did to hubby a big amount squirted out no matter how much pressure you apply a big amount always comes out. That would be my only complaint.

    Will definitely purchase this again I am hoping for different packaging or a pump bottle so we do not waste product.

  • Blows other brands out of the water!

    After using this product for a while I was so impressed with it that I found myself raving and recommending it to my mum friends. The bottle is well designed with grip and a dosage limit for washes. The wash is more fluid but lathers quickly and easily and is definitely tear free. My baby’s skin was left feeling buttery soft and smooth and her hair silky to the touch with a nice light layering of scent. Would definitely recommend it to other parents, it’s topped every other brand I’ve ever tried!

  • Tear free and super cleansing.

    I found cetaphil gentle bay wash and shampoo a joy to use. Makes quite a lot of bubbles when used in the bath and I loved the way it gently washed the children. It has a really beautiful fragrance and considering my 2 kidlets try to eat the bubbles and skull the bath water. I wasn’t concerned as I knew cetaphil was a mild and gentle product. It smells awesome! We also loved the body lotion. Made my bubs skin so soft!

  • Cetaphil Baby Wash

    A little of this product goes a long way and I’ve found it to be super gentle on his sensitive skin. It leaves his skin and hair super soft and hydrated and has a beautiful subtle scent. The bottle is very easy to use as it has little ripples that help as grip which is so useful especially when you have hands going everywhere getting bath ready!

  • Makes bathtime fun!!

    My son never liked to have his hair washed because he was afraid of shampoo stinging his eyes. When we got to sample Cetaphil Gentle Wash and Shampoo this changed everything because its tear free. Now my son loves to have his hair washed and will even do it himself with confidence that he won’t get any eye irritation.

    This stuff was sent from the heavens., my kids loved it. it was so gentle on their skin and has not one tear when it went in their eyes! Highly Recommend!
    I struggle to find a wash that helps for sensitive skin, but now I am glad I got the chance to review this product as it works wonders and I am now stocking up my cupboards with it. I have recommended it to all my mummy & daddy friends, it is the best purchase I have made in a while after the receiving the samples!!

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo

    So impressed with Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo. I used this on my 2 year old son and even my 8 year old daughter. My son suffers from dry skin which can become irritated at times. Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo was gentle on his sensitive skin and so moisturising.
    What I loved the most about Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo, is the fact that you can use this product on their hair and body. No need to have numerous bottles to do different things. The no tear formula was a total hit with me. No more screams of “MY EYES, MY EYES” anymore.
    And it smells so good. Overall I would consider buying this product again in the future.

    I have recently been diagnosed with cancer and so I am using these products as well as the baby water wipes.As I have to use products that are non drying, and gentle on my skin. I have been told that as soon as I start the radiation and chemo that the effects on my skin will be very harsh and drying. So I am getting products like these to assist me.

    My little boy gets dry skin from many different baby washes, his skin is not overly sensitive however he still seems to react. This wash though keeps his skin moisturised and oh so soft. I love that it is a wash and shampoo. It is gentle and smells amazing but is not overly perfumed.

    Loved trying the Cetaphil Gentle Baby Wash & Shampoo. Was gentle on bubs skin and left it silky smooth and hydrated which is a plus in winter. The design of the bottle makes it heaps easier to use while trying to deal with a baby in the bath. Have been using another leading brand but will definitely being buying this in the future!

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • We often have homemade pizza nights aka fakeaway night! And my pizza is always on a low carb Pizza base with roasted and sundried tomato and capsicum. My fav combo with grilled chicken and a swirl of peri peri mayonnaise! Making our own is always better than takeaway versions and healthier!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.
