Post your review

Any mum knows how awful it is hearing your baby try to breathe when they have a stuffy nose, especially when they are feeding or sleeping …

Which is why we are pleased to announce the FESS® Little Noses Nasal Spray trial and review.

What is FESS® Little Noses Nasal Spray?

FESS

FESS Little Noses Nasal Spray is a gentle and natural nasal saline solution which provides relief of blocked and stuffy little noses due to cold & flu, allergies, sinusitis or dry air.

Fess Little Noses nasal spray is suitable and safe to use on newborns and babies up to 2 years of age

How Does FESS Little Noses Nasal Spray Work?

FESS Little Noses works by loosening and thinning nasal mucus and moisturising dry nasal passages. This helps to clear blocked and stuffy noses, so your baby can breathe easier, naturally. As babies insist on breathing through their nose, a clear nose is essential prior to feeding and sleeping.

Is FESS Little Noses Nasal Spray Safe to Use?

FESS Little Noses Nasal Spray is safe to be used as often as often as needed as it is:

✔ A natural effective solution

✔ Preservative free

✔ Non-medicated

✔ Suitable for newborns and babies up to 2 yrs

✔ Once open can be used until the expiry date

It is even approved by the Sensitive Choice program of the National Asthma Council Australia.

 Why is it important to clear babies’ blocked noses?

In the first few months of a baby’s life, they can only breathe through their noses. A blocked nose can make feeding and sleeping really difficult for your baby.

The use of FESS Little Noses, 5 minutes before feeding will help dislodge and thin baby’s mucus, helping improve breathing and assisting your baby to feed normally.

Using FESS Little Noses on your baby’s nose will also help to clear out allergy-causing microscopic particles of dust and pollen that cling to their inner nasal membranes.

FESS Little Noses Spray 15mL retails for $9.95 and is sold in all major pharmacies.

How to use FESS Little Noses Saline Nasal Spray?

 

  1. Using FESS Little Noses Saline Nasal Spray when your baby is upright:

While your baby is upright, simply place the nozzle at the entrance of each nostril and press the spray pump down.

 

  1. Using FESS Little Noses Saline Nasal Spray when your baby is lying down:

1

1. Lie the baby flat on his/her back and tilt the head back.

It may be helpful to place a small pillow or rolled towel under the shoulders for support.

Gently remove any existing excess mucus.

2

2. Hold the bottle upright and press the spray pump down once.

Place the nozzle of the spray pump at the entrance of each nostril and press down to spray.

Apply 1 to 3 sprays per nostril.

3

3. Hold your baby in this position for one to two minutes to give the saline solution time to thin the mucus.

You can repeat as often as needed. The easy to use spray pump has been specifically designed to produce a soft spray ideal for little noses.

4

4. When you have finished, gently wipe excess mucus from the baby’s nose to prevent any skin irritation

  • No more cut nostrils

    Trying to keep nostrils clear, my baby has relief from FESS Little Noses Nasal Spray. I used to use my fingernails to retrieve unwanted boogers from my babies nostrils and sometimes cut them in the process and me feel like an awful mother but now having FESS Little Noses Nasal Spray at home I am at ease using the aspirator and spray I am able to suck them out with causing cuts and stress. I thank them that there is a product out there that enables you to do that. A lot less worry for parents and knowing now your baby can breathe a lot better.

  • Breathing a lot better my little boy

    We used it just the other day, poor little boy could hardly breathe only 5 weeks at the time, nostril was all stuffed up and wouldn’t feed from my breast. Got out the FESS Little Noses Nasal Spray and Aspirator and used on him. Boogers were being sucked up and it was gross but it enabled my baby boy to breathe a lot better. End result he was able to feed from me and have a reasonable good sleep without desperately trying to breathe.

  • An essential for all parents.

    My second baby is a winter baby, combine that with an older sibling who goes to childcare and before we knew it we had our first newborn cold. With my first being a summer baby I was a bit oblivious when it came to knowing what to buy to help my baby.
    Thankfully the pharmacy assistant pointed me in the direction of Fess Little Noses Nasal Spray. It was so simple to use, my baby tolerated it really well, and most importantly it was effective.
    As we enter the cold and flu season I will definitely be recommending this product to all my gorgeous soon-to-be mum friends.

    A really affordable, gentle and effective way to clear your little ones blocked or runny nose and allow them to breathe easier.

    I have used FESS Little Noses several times over my son’s 20 months. I love that it is a gentle product that allows relief from a blocked and stuffy nose.

He definitely sleeps better if he has a cold once we have used FESS Little Noses, and if you ask any parent, a good night’s sleep is value for money!

  • Really helps

    Enjoyed reading previous reviews because it made me think of my 2 daughters. Daughter 1 swore by FESS Little Noses for her 2 babies and recommended it to her sister Daughter 2. Daughter 2 had one baby and would not use FESS because she thought the idea and action was ‘GROSS’. But when her baby was about 7 months old, he was very choked up with a cold and couldn’t breathe. Daughter 1 used FESS on him and cleared his breathing immediately. Daughter 2 was so relieved and pleased. She uses it all the time now.

  • Handy product

    FESS Little Noses is a good product. It is not a miracle worker, however. It seems to clear the nose for a short time. I’ve found with my 2 children, nothing really works. You just have to ride it out. However, FESS Little Noses did give my daughter relief for long enough to feed and settle to sleep so that is a massive bonus.

    This was recommended to me by a mum and I have now used this with both of my children. I have found it to be affordable and good value for money. It is gentle on baby yet effective and quick.
    There is nothing worse than a baby who is struggling to breathe because of so much gunk in their noses. It has helped both my children who have struggled through the winter months with a stuffy nose.

  • Used for my baby

    My baby was 2 months old when he got cold with stuffy nose, then our GP recommend us this Nasal spray. Its really wonderful but for the first time I was really scared to use this for such a small baby. As you follow the instructions, you will know how is that for your little one. I am still using this for my baby.

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.

  • 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.
