Cetaphil Baby Review

Six Steps© to a Happy Baby

Cetaphil Baby has an easy to follow Six Steps© to a Happy Baby guide that’s designed to calm your baby, while establishing a bath and sleep time routine. Us mums know that babies thrive with routines, so here’s hoping the lucky mums and bubs who are a part of this trial feel the positive benefits of this Happy Baby guide – because who doesn’t want a happy bubba!

Here’s the Cetaphil Baby Six Steps© to a Happy Baby guide

Step 1: Massage
Important to help parents and baby bond, through touch. Place baby on their back on a stable safe surface. Pour Cetaphil Baby Massage Oil into your hands and rub together to warm oil. Commence at the ankles in a gentle circular motion and move upwards toward the hip. Complete on both sides. Repeat this process on the arms. If the baby is comfortable place baby on their tummy (ensuring babies head it turned to one side for breathing) and massage baby with long strokes up the back and off the shoulders and then down the whole body.

Step 2: Bath
Wrap baby in a loose swaddle, then clean their head with the Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo so that they stay warm and soothed. Clean their eyes using one cotton wool for each eye and clean from “inside to outside”. Unwrap baby and hold baby length-ways in your arms ensuring you have a firm grip and to keep babies head out of the water. Gently introduce them into the water – feet first then the rest of the body. You can use the Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo which is specially formulated for baby’s delicate skin.

Step 3: Moisturise
Moisturising is important to keep baby’s skin nourished and hydrated. Gently rub Cetaphil Baby Daily Lotion into baby’s skin in circular motions across the entire body. Avoid eye area.

Step 4: Feed
Feed on demand as every babies requirements are different. Breast feeding is the preferred option of most experts, however you decide what is best for your baby.

Step 5: Swaddle
Swaddling helps babies to feel safe and protected because it mimics what was in utero and to stop startle reflex ensuring better sleep for baby and you. It can take some time to learn how to swaddle in a way that suits your baby, so don’t be disheartened if they wriggle out in the first instance, simply try again.

Step 6: Sleep
The safety and wellbeing of baby during sleep is paramount. All babies must sleep on their back on a breathable surface with their feet touching the end of the cot. Ensure no hats on babies as it can cause babies to overheat and will increase risk of SIDS. Ensure the sleep space is free from bumpers, pillows and soft toys.

Where can I purchase the Cetaphil Baby Range?

The Cetaphil Baby range is available in all great supermarkets, pharmacies and some specialty stores.

  • Absolute essentials!

    I’ve been using these products since my newborn daughter arrived into the world. Given she’s a vomiter and can create some pretty amazing poopy messes, products to give her a thorough clean is absolutely essential. The Cetaphil baby wash and shampoo is so gentle and smells lovely. The moisturiser and massage oil have been incredible to keep that newborn flaky skin at bay, and the massage oil has become part of our bedtime routine to relax her and get her ready for sleep.

  • Soothing and gentle on delicate baby skin

    So happy to be able to trial this cetaphil baby range. Both baby and I feel happy after using it. I love the baby 6 steps happy guide. The massage steps its such a great way for the baby and mother to relax. I love how when I use the massage oil on her. She’s so relax and happy. I love the whole bonding moment with her and knowing I am using a great gentle safe product on her. The gentle wash and shampoo it’s so convenient to use as its 2 in 1. I can use it on her hair and body. It is hassle free and gentle on her skin. The lotion will protect her skin whole day. Overall really happy with cetaphil baby range and have already stock up more from the whole range.

  • Great range, perfect for my baby!

    The cetaphil range is fantastic. Firstly the daily lotion has a nice consistency and worked wonders on my baby’s dry skin. It’s now silly smooth. We have even had comments on how nice his skin is!
    The wash and shampoo is gentle on their skin and we found also smells really nice.
    The massage lotion didn’t feel as oily as normal ones so that was fantastic. My son enjoys the massages with this and it isn’t even sticky for his clothes.

    I would definately recommend this range!

  • Cetaphil Baby, thankyou!

    I was absolutely thrilled to be selected to test the Cetaphil Baby range. My newest daughter is 3 weeks old and it came in perfect time to test and see if it became a part of our night routine.
    I’m here to say YES! I’m here to say Welcome to the family, Cetaphil!
    The Gentle Wash and Shampoo is genius! A 2 in 1 combination to tackle the body and hair. The scent is sweet, it’s soap free which is a bonus for sensitive skin and won’t leave you fumbling your sweet kids like footballs, and come on, who DOESN’T like bubbles?! It leaves my little girls hair like soft, fluffy fuzz.
    The Daily Lotion is silky smooth and actually absorbs into the skin unlike other moisturisers I’ve tried where it just settles for hours. Coming into winter we can be prone to dry skin when we’re staying cosy warm indoors, I feel reassured from this trial that Cetaphil’s lotion will give a protective barrier.
    And the massage oil, oh heavens this is a game changer for us! My bub has belly pains especially in the evening and she calms right after a massage. The oil smells divine, and it also soaks nicely into her skin! It’s not too slippery, doesn’t leave residue on our favourite outfits and it’s calming as a signal that bedtime is soon approaching.
    I highly highly recommend the Cetaphil range as part of your family. It’s affordable, it’s safe for all skin types and it works!

  • Prepare for smooth calmed skin

    I love cetaphil products as not only is it amazingly soft on my babies skin but also soothing and calming. Both my babies have very sensitive skin so I need to make sure to be using the right products not to dry or irritate their skin. I certainly say to other parents to try cetaphil products out.

  • Great items and will repurchase

    Love how two of the bottles have bumps on the bottles which make it easier to grip with wet hands. Please add the grips to the massage oil bottle. Could you please also change the way the liquid flows out of the bottle? It is hard to get a small amount of shampoo out of the bottle to wash the head of my newborn baby.

  • Great

    My youngest daughter suffers from dry skin around her feet, elbows and knees. I found this to be really helpful I would even add a bit of moisturiser in the bath it seems to clear her up quickly and stop the itching and irritation it’s reasonably priced and will most likely buy again in the future.

  • Love the smell and the products

    I enjoyed using the Cetaphil products. The best one was the massage oil and the lotion. My babies skin is extremely dry. The massage oil and the lotion really helped the baby’s skin. The shampoo I did not fancy it much. It was a bit hard to get rid off from the body and it took longer than usual in the shower.

    Bonding time with baby is the best time, since receiving the Cetaphil package, bath time has become our new favourite bonding time. My girl loves to kick about and enjoy feeling the water but once I rub her head nice and gentle with the Cetaphil shampoo and body wash she always calms down and enjoys the pamper.

    If your baby has sensitive skin or if you just want to be careful this product is really the one you will want to buy. Cetaphil is a family friendly and safe product that makes the lives of parents so much easier.

  • Great product

    My baby and I use Cetaphil baby lotion daily. It is a nice smelling lotion keeping me and my baby fresh all day. This lotion suits our skin. Ideal for summer too because it won’t leave your skin feeling oily/sweaty/greasy. Love the hydrating feeling after each use. It mixes easily on the skin.

  • I love Cetaphil

    Love this on my baby after a bath. It has a lovely scent which is not too strong. It’s not as thick which is great for warmer weather. Keeps my baby’s skin very soft and lasts for quite sometime on the skin after applying without rubbing off when baby does tummy time or plays. Highly recommend

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

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!

Sandhurst

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!

  • 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!

  • Certainly most welcome for summer, and would be wonderful for the festive season. I can see this platter on the table Christmas Eve, when we get together with our neighbours.

  • This is timely and helpful, thanks – I aspire to entertain more and tips to make it less stressful are very welcome.

  • 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.

  • The simplest way to entertain.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed

  • Charcuterie Boards and Antipasto boards are so good. I love them, i love the variety of foods you can put on them and they are so great for entertaining and enjoying with family or friends. It is something i like to make whenever i have friends over as you can enjoy and pick away while you are catching up. Great entertaining option.

  • I absolutely adore an antipasto spread. There’s nothing better than having a colourful plate of charcuterie and antipasto shared with loved ones. I grew up with my Mum making the most lush, long table of nibblies on celebrations and it’s something that my siblings and I carry on today. It brings us all together.
