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.

  • Fantastic product and will buy again!

    Thank you so much for the opportunity to review the baby Cetaphil products. Absolutely loved the ease of having the wash and shampoo all in one made bath time so much easier. The products were great for bubbas sensitive and delicate skin so I actually tried them on my four year old who has very sensitive skin and the lotion really moistened her skin. I am really impressed with these products and would definitely purchase again!!!

  • 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.

  • Fab products for sensitive bubs

    We have especially loved the moisturiser. We have a newborn little one who has gone through the stages of dry skin peeling and flaking off. We applied the moisturiser at nappy changes and she is now lovely and soft. We are still bathing with just water until she is older so are yet to try the bath product but love the oil and moisturiser for putting some moisture back into her very dry skin.

  • Gentle baby care product

    I hadn’t really used any baby bath products on my daughter yet so I was pleased to find the cetaphil products to be very gentle on her skin.
    They don’t have a super strong fragrance so my baby still smells like a baby.
    The massage oil is really lovely to use to give her a gentle massage to relax before bedtime. May start using it for my 4 year old as well.

  • Cetaphil baby products - Love it!

    I was so excited to be chosen for the Cetaphil review. I tried it on both my baby and toddler and its amazing! it smells divine, easy to use and is definitely a premium product. I noticed with the lotion, it kept my babies skin smooth and moist compared with other baby lotions i was using. Especially during these cold days baby skin can get dry but Cetaphil certainly does the job! I know its for the babies but I have been using it on my skin as well and have found it a delight! would like if they could improve on the price point but agree ifs definitely a premium product!

  • Very nice for my bub’s routine

    Cetaphil baby has been very gentle to my little one’s skin. She has been having dry skin. Cetaphil has helped her skin being clean while being moisturised as well. It also has a nice baby smell that is not too strong to irritate bub’s nose. I would totally recommend this.

  • Love the range

    I love the Cetaphil products that were sent to me for trial and review. The gentle wash and shampoo as well as the lotion have this really good powdery scent to it that is not so overpowering. The lotion also is non-greasy and easily absorbed. The products are easy to use and are not harsh to the baby’s sensitive skin. The skin of my kids stayed hydrated and great-smelling.

  • Great products, easy to use, nice pleasant smell

    All 3 products were light & easy to use, with a pleasant smell. The combination of the wash & shampoo is a great idea as only 1 product is required for the whole body, from head to toe. The lotion was not greasy and light to put on but still moisturising. The massage oil was a real delight, soothing bubs and adding extra moisture to the skin as well. I would recommend the Cetaphil range for use on baby, great care at an affordable price

    The gentle wash and shampoo was my favourite of the 3 bottles because it just felt so soothing even on my hands. I definitely felt great putting it onto my bubs skin at bath time. The lotion was also excellent and didn’t feel overly greasy as some lotions are… We enjoyed using the massage oil for a bit of relaxing time before bedtime. Overall excellent products that I highly recommend.

  • Fantastic Product Range for Infants

    Using the Cetaphil range on my newborn was a great experience and I am likely to consider purchasing these products in the future. The Gentle Wash & Shampoo was kind on my baby’s skin and made bath time a happy experience for bubs and I. The Daily Lotion was gentle enough for my baby’s sensitive skin and left his skin feeling nourished and moisturised. The Massage Oil was lovely to use at night to settle my little boy before going to bed. It helped him to relax and wind down before going to sleep.

  • Cetaphil Baby range was helpful with our bedtime routine

    The Cetaphil baby range was a big help in the bedtime routine, having a toddler and a newborn at home. The massage oil really helped in the calming of my newborn who still doesn’t like nappy changes/bath time yet, and the body wash was great for her first bath! Also to wash all the dinner off my toddler who likes to wear his food more than eat it.

  • Gentle and Easy to Use Range for Bub

    I love Cetaphil products for myself (as a dermatitis sufferer) and my toddler – so I jumped at the chance to try these products on my friend’s 3.5 month old son. My friend has been having a hard time finding the right products to use. The wash was super gentle and it did not react with his skin. The lotion goes on so smoothly, the pump pack is so easy to use, and the lotion is just so wonderfully moisturing. My friend especially loved using the massage oil on him- as touch is one of the best ways to bond with a little one and reassure them that they’re cared for. So my friend is super impressed with the range, I’m super happy I got to share this with her, and Cetaphil once again proves that they’re truly is a fantastic brand.

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.
