I truly had to wait to see if there is a relapse before posting this review. This relief bath soak worked well. I just dropped it in the bucket of water before bathing my child with it.
We have been trialling the @dermaveen Sensitive Skin Calmexa Bath Soak and it has been a lovely addition to our bath. We add 3 scoops as the bath is running and it makes a nice milky bath.
It is soothes and restores moisture during this change in season and has improved my kid's dry skin. It is designed to calm any skin irritaions and lock in the moisture which I am definitely seeing.
I love that it is made in Australia and paired with the DermaVeen Moisturising Creams it has given noticeable results.

Both my little girls have sensitive eczema prone skin so finding products that don’t bring them out in a rash is tricky. There was no adverse reactions with this and it left their skin feeling lovely, I will be buying this in the future.
I got this product free as a complimentary.

One of my girls has eczema-prone skin with the occasional dry spots on her arms and legs. What we love is the all natural formulation free from all the nasties. We used this during one of her flare ups and found it improved after once use when used with the calmexa extra rich moisturising cream. The combo resulted in a nourishing and soothing treatment for her which we were impressed with. We use this bath soak at least twice a week to keep her eczema-prone skin under control. Highly recommend!
This product was absolutely amazing!!! My girls 2 and 3 suffer from dry spots on their arms and bum. This helped with that too. I would highly Recommend this product to anyone with sensitive babies. Thank you.
Dermaveen Sensitive Bath Soak is amazing! It soothes my bub's sensitive skin and leaves her skin feeling moisturised rather than dry and dehydrated as we have found with other generic bubble bath products. My only feedback would be that the packaging is a bit excessive - such a big pouch. Otherwise very pleased with this product so far, and will be buying again.
Wow I can't get over just how great this product is. My daughter didn't react and that is amazing. Her skin gets real itchy and red. I have been using it for two weeks now and no reaction yay! Can't fault it

The DermaVeen Sensitive Relief Calmexa Bath Soak is not only natural but the main point is that my baby loves it. She has really sensitive skin and we have used many different brands and products, still nothing is really good until now. I highly recommend the DermaVeen Sensitive Relief Calmexa Bath Soak to you all. It is worth trying it
After being away from home for the last fortnight, I found upon return that bub was itching and irritated. Dad had been bathing bub with bubble bath and had caused a mild flare on bubs sensitive skin.
I was excited to see that while away, the home testers stuff had arrived. I had never used the baby dermaveen calmexa bath soak. I have used it both last night and tonight as part of our bath and bed routine and although it’s early days, I can say confidently that it has not caused further flare up, and has not increased the irritation of baby’s skin. Quite the opposite actually, she has been calm and relaxed and seems to be scratching less. It is definitely something I would reccomend.
We have trialled many different products to find ones that work well for our baby, and it looks like we have found something else to add into our little bag of tricks to help her:)
This bath soak is amazing for delicate baby skin! It keeps my baby’s skin so hydrated and so soft! My husband also tried it for his sensitive eczema prone skin and worked like a treat. Highly recommend for a family with sensitivities!
Highly recommend. Even had a soak in the bath myself with this stuff, made my skin feel so much better as I'm prone to dry flaky skin. Took away any redness I had. Used it on bub and she felt amazing too! Would definitely buy again and reccomend to friends and family.
DermaVeen Sensitive Relief Calmexa Bath Soak used for my baby sensitive skin.My baby had a very sensitive skin but when i used it has no problem,I already finished it and going to buy more.
This is very convenient for the on the go mums who can't grind up their own oats. It is essentially the same as grinding your own oats finely and sprinkling in the water. There is a residue afterwards.

To see my little ones skin become a bit more moisturised was so lovely to see. He has eczema-prone skin and is always dry and irritable. The bath soak definitely helped sooth him and his skin. Will repurchase. PS also smells amazing. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to try this one out.
I found this worked really well on my bub with sensitive skin! And left skin feeling amazing! Definitely have to mix through the bath and give the bath a good wash down once finished! Other than that we love it

‘Trust Your Intuition’: How To Advocate For Your Child In Hospital
Mother’s instinct is a funny thing. At home, we trust it without question. But put us in a hospital setting with an unwell child, surrounded by doctors, nurses and monitors, and suddenly we start doubting ourselves.
What if I’m overreacting? What if I’ve got it wrong?
So we stay quiet, even when we know something just isn’t right with our child. I’ve been there myself – when my usually ‘tough’ son was doubled over with stomach pain. I was told in the emergency department that it probably wasn’t his appendix. But I knew he wouldn’t have begged me to take him to hospital unless it was serious. Because I know him better than anyone. Turns out, it was appendicitis.
It’s a really common place for parents to land. You’re grateful for the care your child is getting, but at the same time, you feel this huge responsibility to speak up if something doesn’t feel right.
Here’s the thing though: that instinct you’re feeling? It matters more than you might think.
Why your gut feeling matters more than you realise
According to Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital, Leticia Jackson, parents bring something to the hospital that no test or machine ever could.
“Parents often say they ‘just know’ when something isn’t quite right with their child, and in a hospital, that gut feeling is incredibly valuable,” she explains.
Leticia Jackson, Paediatric Nurse Unit Manager, Canterbury Hospital
While medical teams rely on observations, tests and equipment, parents know the little details. The way your child usually smiles. How they react when they’re tired. What’s normal for them.
So when something feels “off”, even if everything looks okay on paper, it can actually be an early warning sign.
“When parents trust those instincts and speak up, this creates a powerful partnership that can sometimes catch a problem before it becomes an emergency,” Leticia says.
Worried about speaking up? You’re not alone
A lot of parents hesitate about advocating for their child.
You don’t want to come across as difficult. You don’t want to question the people caring for your child. And sometimes, you just don’t feel confident enough to push the issue.
Leticia gets it.
“It is completely understandable for parents to feel hesitant,” she says. “No one wants to be seen as difficult or to second-guess the hardworking people caring for their child.”
But here’s a helpful way to look at it: you’re not challenging the medical team, you’re helping them.
Parents are the constant. Staff change shifts, care for multiple patients, and rely on snapshots of information. You’re there the whole time, noticing the subtle changes.
“Our medical team doesn’t view a concerned parent as overreactive, but as a partner,” Leticia explains. “Your voice matters.”
Remember, we know our children better than anyone.
What to do if you’re worried: the Raise It process
If you’re in a NSW public hospital or health service and you’re worried about you or your child’s condition getting worse, there is a clear process you can follow called Raise It.
Raise It is designed to help patients, carers and family members get help fast if they’re worried about a change in their loved one’s condition.
Here’s how it works:
Talk: Start by speaking to a nurse, midwife, doctor or health worker about your concerns.
Ask: Still worried? Ask to speak to the nurse or midwife in charge and request a Clinical Review.
Call: If you’re still concerned, you can escalate further using the Raise It process to get urgent attention from a senior health worker.
You don’t need medical knowledge. You don’t need to be certain. If you feel something isn’t right, or your child is getting worse, Raise It. You just need to speak up.
What should you actually look out for?
Sometimes it’s not one big, obvious sign. It can be small, subtle changes that just don’t sit right.
Things like:
Changes in breathing (fast, laboured or noisy)
Skin looking pale, mottled, or developing unusual rashes
Your child being unusually drowsy, floppy, or hard to wake
Confusion or behaviour that’s out of character
Pain that isn’t improving with treatment
Or simply that feeling that your child is getting worse
And sometimes, it’s just that gut feeling you can’t explain.
That’s enough.
“You are helping us, not bothering us”
If there’s one message Leticia wants parents to take away, it’s that you aren’t bothering the medical team, you’re helping them.
“In my years as a Nurse Unit Manager, I can say with absolute certainty that many critical changes in a child’s condition have been identified first by a parent. While our clinical staff are highly skilled at performing regular observations and interpreting data, parents are the only constant presence who truly know their child’s baseline behaviour, personality, and what is normal for them.
“I have seen numerous instances where a parent’s insistence that their child is “just not themselves” – despite vital signs appearing relatively stable – has prompted a deeper clinical review that uncovered everything from early signs of sepsis to a life-threatening respiratory crisis.”
The Raise It process exists because healthcare teams know how important parents are in keeping children safe.
“Speaking up doesn’t mean you don’t trust the team,” she says. “It means you’re partnering with us to make sure nothing gets missed.”
And if you’re still worried about being judged?
“Whether your concern turns out to be something or nothing, your instinct to raise it is always valid.”
I have learned many times to always listen to your gut and speak up when you don’t think something is right. This article was a great read, our kids are our world and if we don’t feel they are getting the right help, and we feel it, we need to speak up.
You should never second guess yourself when it comes to yours or your childs health- or anyones for that matter. Go with your thoughts. It is natural to want to protect a loved one especially when it comes to health situations, and the feeling you get when you think you didnt do enough to advocate or fight for them…it is not a kind or nice way to feel. Many people have ended up being heartbroken and picking up pieces for years because of feeling they didnt do enough.
A very good and informative article. I have read so many stories about mums just knowing when things are not right and demanding second and third opinions until they got the right answer. Sometimes mums just know. It is our job as care takers of our families. Listen to your gut!
Years ago, I spoke up for my 14-year-old daughter, but my concerns weren’t fully listened to. I’ve always wished I had pushed harder. She was sent home without much testing, and two days later, she passed away.
So, if you ever have concerns—no matter how minor—please speak up and keep advocating. Trust your instincts; they are there for a reason.
This is so important for parents to know how to raise it further if they don’t think their child is receiving the medical support they need! I know this article refers to the NSW system but other systems have similar procedures just with different names. I know in QLD it’s called Ryan’s Rule.
It’s so important to follow your gut instincts and express your concerns indeed. I have never hesitated to advocate for my children in various situations and I don’t care what other people think about it. Not all doctors and medical staff appreciate it when you question them, I’ve experienced that it may result in angry indignant responses.
How true this is! While nurses and doctors are the medical professionals doing their job on the daily, we know our children better than anyone and what is ‘normal’ for them. I would always speak up if I had noticed any changes in my child’s health and encourage other parents to do so too. No question is silly!
This really is such an important issue and a good topic to discuss with people, I am often surprised that people are worried about being judged. This is not something I care about; the priority is for the care and health of everyone is my family. Parents know their children and need to work with health professionals for the best outcomes for their children.
This is such an important issue to raise, and no one should ever feel ashamed, nervous or that they are being OTT for advocating for their kids, themselves or loves ones in hospital. In QLD we have Ryan’s Rule. A three step process where your concern will be escalated if they believe the patients condition isn’t improving or is worsening.
I have never been afraid to advocate for my children and partner and extended family and also friends. It is so important to listen and to trust intuition. When people have not listened, I have persevered and kept on with insisting on care and making sure they truly listened and took action.
