  • a favourite in our house kids loved them

    Our family loved Ingham’s Free Range Chicken Breast Nuggets coated in a Ciabatta Crumb. Nuggets are a loved product in our house but these felt like a premium nugget. The flavour was great . We will buy again. Kids were surprised at the taste, my son said wow mum these are really nice

  • Winner Chicken Dinner!

    I was fortunate enough to try out the new Ingham’s chicken range and it is delicious. We tried out the ciabatta-crumbed chicken nuggets and they are so tasty! The whole family was impressed with the quality of these nuggets and the ciabatta infused coating was a nice difference to the normal boring crumbs. From the fussy kids to my fussy dad who doesn’t normally like meat he doesn’t prepare himself, everyone was satisfied with these!

  • Yummy!!

    I made this into a pasta bake and the kids absolutely loved it as did hubby! They are yummy and something that can easily become dinner or lunch. To make the pasta bake I just cooked up 250g pasta, added half a jar of Woolies chunky pasta sauce and grated cheese through, then put nuggets on top with the rest of the sauce and more cheese. In the oven for about 35-40 minutes (tried 25 minutes but nuggets weren’t cooked). Yummy as!

  • Winner in our house!

    I took advantage of the Ingham’s freezer range on special at Woolies last week and purchased the nuggets for the kids and the Kiev’s for us adults.
    We are usual buyers of Kiev’s from the butcher but the Ingham Kiev’s have a better flavour crumb that says crunchy. Both my husband and I enjoyed them. The only downside is like all Kiev’s the garlic butter usually leaks out, but it is still very flavoursome.
    The kids enjoyed their nuggets, even the fussiest (who did ask me what it was before she would eat it like normal ????. I like how they are made with breast meat and they have a flavoursome crumb on them. I cooked them for a little longer to get a bit more crunch to them.
    All up they cooked up well. I oven baked them with some potatoes for a change from chips. I serve them with some steamed veggies for a more healthier meal. I will highly consider purchasing these in the future.

  • Great dinner snack or side meal

    we got to review the chicken nuggets. Great price. bright and colorful box. When I opened the box i was surprised at how big the chicken nuggets were, they were huge. They didn’t take long to cook, and they taste delicious. A great amount of chicken in each nugget. My son who loves nuggets and is a fussy eater ate some and said they were good.

  • Quality chicken nuggets

    The chicken nuggets were made from nice quality chicken breast with no “yucky” bits. The chicken had a nice fresh flavour and not greasy or processed. The crumb was very crunchy.
    They were easy to prepare, I just put them in my air fryer, they were cooked in about 10 minutes.
    All my family really loved them, I’ll definitely be buying these again!

  • Winner winner, chicken dinner

    I’m impressed! I normally feel guilty about giving the kids nuggets and veggies for dinner. With these Free range and nasty free nuggets I don’t feel bad at all. They are surprisingly big and juicy too.
    All the kids loved them although they are pretty expensive (you get what you pay for) so I’ll stock up during sales.

  • Kids loved them

    My three kids absolutely loved and devoured the box of inghams free range nuggets. I was lucky enough to get one to try! They were so easy to cook just chucked them in the oven and served them with steamed peas and corn. Such a quick throw together meal on a busy night. Will purchase them again!

  • Fresh and juicy

    The Ingham’s free Range chicken nuggets were amazing. First thought when I opened the box was how large the actual nuggets were. After a quick cook in the oven the smell was making my mouth water! They tasted fantastic and were perfect for a quick and convenient Fathers Day mid afternoon snack between a big brunch and roast dinner. Definitely will be a regular in my shopping trolley.

    We tried the chicken nuggets and were absolutely impressed… Everyone including hungry hubby, Miss six (hard to please) and fussy Mr One gobbled them up and asked for more. The chicken was juicy and tender with a lovely flavour to it! Highly recommend these to all!

  • There was plus's and minus's

    I am reviewing Inghams Free Range Chicken Breast Sourdough Garlic Butter Kievs. Firstly I was not a fan of the coating but in saying this I really am not a fan of sourdough bread full stop. I much preferred the coating (Wholemeal & Quinoa) on the tenders and would much prefer that coating on the kievs. Secondly for such a premium product I really would have preferred Inghams to have cut and taken the bone out of the kiev as it is such a waste and we are paying for it. But the chicken was lovely and tender and the garlic butter delicious. Like my review on the tenders once again I would love to know why these kievs are not all Australian. They are actually a little more worse then the tenders with 80% Australian Ingredients …so what is the other 20%. I also compared my usual Inghams Kiev’s with these new Free Range and our usual ones have 467mg of Sodium compared to 380mg (per 100g) in these Free Range ones so that’s a plus. The Fat was 14.1g per 100g compared to 10.6g for the Free Range so that’s a good plus. But I was disappointed in the sugar 3.8g for our usual compared to 4.6g in the new free range so that’s bad . The actual sugar did surprise me as I would have assumed the sourdough free range to be better as far as sugar is concerned but it was not the case, maybe due to the fact of the crumb being a little more tart and they need extra sugar to counter out. Either way I was a touch disappointed in the sugar area. Will I purchase again well if on a good special probably yes.

  • I found quite expensive.

    The Inghams Free Range Chicken Tenderloins with Wholemeal and Quinoa coating where quite nice. The fact that the coating was wholemeal and quinoa was the overall reason for trying this product. As both of these are a lot more nutritious than most other coatings. I do love the versatility of tenders as one can simply serve with chips as a quick meal, or with mash and veggies as a larger meal and then there is the option of having the tenders on a fresh bread roll with salad which is often the case in this family for a delicious lunch time meal on a weekend.
    I am very interested to know what the other 15% of ingredients are that were not Australian as the label states Australian made from a least 85% Australian ingredients. Over all though these were very nice but for the price normally you do expect a premium product. Will only purchase when on special and find my usual Inghams tenders just fine thanks.

  • Delicious and easy

    Initially I tried the nuggets and they were amazing. You can taste the real chicken, and so quick and easy to make. Almost felt like I had crumbed them myself. Also tried the sweet chilli strips, and they were even better! So juicy and full of flavour

    I bought the chicken nuggets and tenders when they first came out and was Surprised at how nice they were. They were crunchy and full of flavour. The nuggets were slightly bigger than normal so I did have to cut them up for my daughter but she still devoured them. Hubby even commented how nice the tenders were. Will be buying again!

    My kids LOVE chicken nuggets. With this new range from Ingams I don’t feel guilty for letting them have their favourite meal. Even my husband and I like the taste of this range, the coating really tastes like it has lits of herbs and flabour and the meat inside is really tender. We definitely recommend this range.

    We had the chicken nuggets and they were big, juicy and full of flavour. Definitely a product I would buy again. They baked up quickly and weren’t dry either. We had them for our family dinner but they’d go really well in wraps or in the lunch box with a nice tossed salad.

  • Quality at its best

    Firstly I would like to congratulate Ingham on this range it is really a quality product and fills a gap in these sort of products.
    The products were easy to find in the frozen section at Woolworths, the packaging is different and stands out . It has great colours, and displays the product really well . The instructions on the package were clear and easy to follow. The nuggets cooked to a delicious golden colour and had perfect crunch . I could really taste the difference with this product
    And tell that is was a high quality chicken and it tasted juicy and great compared to other products which can be pasty and horrible . Definitely recommend this to my friends family and everyone. Thanks for the opportunity to try this product.

  • Quite nice

    They tasted ok.
    As good as to be expected from pre-prepared/ frozen food.
    Easy to prepare, and cook for.
    Where Inghams fall short in; they don’t cater for those with Coeliac disease. (gluten free)
    My son (9yo) has coeliac disease (FULLY DIAGNOSED) and yeah….
    Actually I won’t go on the rant I WAS going to go on. I will just say this…….
    I’m sick to death of paying ‘hipster tax’ on gluten free products.
    For a child that has NO choice on the cards he’s been dealt. He handles it soooo smoothly. But he shouldn’t have to. There should be options for him.
    All in all; not a bad thing to eat but also not GREAT.

Article Mums Reveal Their Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips

Mums Reveal Their Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips

Whether you’re a seasoned or first-time mum, protecting your baby’s delicate skin is right up there on the priorities list. Because when their skin is irritation-free, it really does make for a happier bub! Anyone who’s had to deal with nappy rash (me included!) knows it’s an inescapable mum truth.

Having skin irritation as an adult is super distracting and annoying. So just imagine what that’s like for our teeny babies and toddlers, who need to focus on sleep, eat and play. No wonder they can be so upset when they have nappy rash.

One thing you do need to ditch when it comes to nappy rash is mum guilt. It happens despite our best efforts. But it is helpful if you can get ahead of the game by doing as much as you can to try and prevent nappy rash in the first place.

We asked our hundreds of thousands of Mouths of Mums members for their tried-and-true, trusted nappy rash tips, and their responses came down to four key tips. So if you’re about to have your first baby, or your fifth, it’s worth popping on the kettle and reading through what’s helped other mums.

Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips From Mums

What we love about these tips is they’re perfect for mums and expecting mums, and they’re really simple to do. Everything from what to use and what to steer clear of, to helpful hints on caring for delicate baby skin.

1. Nappy Free Time

“As much free nappy time as possible. Lay baby on a blanket covered with a towel on the floor, without a nappy on, if possible in front of a warm sunny window.” – Joanne W.

We love nappy free time for newborn and toddlers (although it’s a lot harder to get them to stay in one place!). And while nappy free time is one of the most popular nappy rash tips among our mums, using the right nappy also plays a huge part in protecting against irritation on your baby’s skin. For example, Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants have clever Rapid-Dry™ Technology, which instantly absorbs for drier skin. And they’re perfect for day and night, with up to 12 hours of leakage protection.

2. Change Nappies Frequently

“For me, what worked on my two kids is not leaving them in soiled nappies too long. I definitely changed as soon as they were wet and let their skin air dry before placing a new nappy on. I would rather go through more nappies than have to deal with the uncomfortable rash they would feel.” – MoM Member

Frequent nappy changes are a fail-safe way to keep moisture, but it’s not always practical (babies just love to fill their nappies while you’re out and about!) Huggies Newborn Nappies are designed to help protect a baby’s delicate skin with a zinc-enriched layer*, clinically proven to help protect against skin irritation.

3. Use A Barrier Cream

“My mum put me onto Zinc and Caster Oil cream. It is FABULOUS stuff! It’s very thick and sticks like you know what to a blanket hehe I tried literally everything and this was the only stuff that helped.” – Trudes

Using a barrier cream was another really popular tip from our mums. But did you know that Huggies Newborn Nappies are the only nappy with a zinc enriched layer. The zinc oxide in Huggies Newborn Nappies is the same ingredient found in many nappy rash creams, which helps to protect against irritation with visibly less redness on skin. They’re also endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives and the number one choice in Australian hospitals.

4. Choose Gentle

“Don’t use scented wipes. Flannel and warm water is the best.” – Justine F

Using the most natural product possible for wiping a baby’s delicate skin to prevent irritation is a tip that’s been passed down from generation to generation – and it’s still a great one. But something lots of mums don’t consider that a nappy itself can help protect against skin irritation. Huggies Newborn Nappies are clinically proven* to help protect against skin irritation while Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants keep up with wriggly little ones while providing superior dryness, making them perfect for active toddlers.

  • My first born had terrible nappy rash and ulcers from acid urine and none of the specialists prescription creams did anything. I finally used Petroleum Jelly and it cleared up his skin very quickly and kept future rashes at bay. It is cheap and easy to use and works the best of anything.

  • Any redness can be resolved with a tub of Sudocrem. It’s a cream that smells like lavender. Very pleasant and usually works quickly within the first application.

    Take it with you everywhere. It helps poo nappy changes. Just apply on bottom area to prevent future nappy rash. Your baby will be happy with it on. It doesn’t feel cold like a wet wipe.

  • I had issues with my son pooping a lot as a newborn. Sometimes it can be really hard to keep the rash at bay if you have a child that is constantly doing that. There is some acidity in the excrement and that can cause burning before it’s even been against their skin for long. I used to use paw paw cream on him and that worked best as a barrier.

  • Nappy Rash can be so raw and painful and i always worried so much when our babies had a bout of it. I remember trying so many things but always found good old petroleum jelly used regularly would help in keeping it at bay. There are some great suggestions in the article.

  • I did find that not all nappy rash creams are as good as each other. After trialing many brands I settled on Sudocrem as the best for me and my baby. Changing nappies frequently and air time is also very important.

  • There are so many common sense tip in this article and they are tips that we followed. We kept everything as natural as possible on very soft and sensitive skin. We went with plenty of nappy free times and we were very fortunate to not encounter issues with nappy rash.

  • This article describes very much what we always have done: frequent nappy changes, plenty of bare bum time, no fragrances also not in soaps and a good nappy rash cream. It can become more challenging when your child has diarrhea; in which case bare bum time becomes more complex and the skin more irritated in which the gentle washing with warm water, patting dry with a soft cotton flannel and good zinc cream is more important

  • Even though I agree that prevention is key, I also think it’s important to have a good barrier cream to hand to help at the first signs of trouble. There are lots of good brands, you can pick any really that suits your baby’s skin. But use it liberally when you need it!

  • Yay! First time seeing my own comment in an article! *happy dance*
    But yes, i do swear by changing their nappies as soon as it’s soiled. It’s what worked for us for both children! We always go prepared and change either before going out, during or in the car boot if we really had to

  • Nappy rash is horrible and prevention is definately better than cure. This is a fantastic article with some great tips. Especially the changing of the nappy frequently. Unfortunately sometimes especially once they’re on solids and their poops get yucky a little nappy rash can be unavoidable in which case a small amount of sudocreme clears it up quickly.

  • We found that changing nappies frequently was key for us. And once the kids starting sleeping for long periods at night, we started using the really good quality nappies – Huggies, as it happens – while cheaper nappies were still okay for the day and frequent changes. Nappies do vary! .

  • This is a really great reminder that nappy rash can happen but there are some great tips to help try and avoid it. I use to do a lot of nappy free time with my daughter when we were home as she had sensitive skin and I layered the barrier cream on all the time, especially at night.
