  • My toddler loves it!

    My toddler has since finished this whole tin since we got it and are now onto our third tin. We switched over from Nan where she was only drinking 60ml each feed and now she has since doubled that at 120ml so she obviously enjoys drinking it much more.

    Her bowel movements are now more consistent and her mood is also a lot better.

    She is less tired during the day and has more energy to play.

  • Great for toddlers and easy on stomach

    My son is 3 and my nephew is 19 months old. They both tried it and didn’t even mind it even though they both drink other brands. It was easy on their little tummies and we had no issues with it at all. The fact that it was A2 protein milk was great as I always wanted to make the switch to those sorts of products and this was a great way of trying it out. My sister will definitely be repurchasing this for her little man.

  • Great choice for toddlers

    My little girl had gone on to standard cows milk and I just felt it wasn’t giving her any real nutrients, plus she didn’t really like the taste. I gave her the karicare A2 toddler milk drink and she loved it! And I feel like I’m giving her those extra nutrients when she’s being a fussy eater.

  • Loved it!

    My toddler absolutely loved this drink, he drank it down so easily. No nasty side effects, if anything his digestion only benefited from trying this one out. We used the Karicare brand through almost his whole formula journey, and it has definitely stuck out as a favourite.

  • My toddler asks for it!

    I’m hoping my baby will transition to toddler milk fully because he’s turning 2 this year. I’m so happy that he liked this so much and he’s the one asking for it! It tastes great and I believe it’s giving a good amount of nutrition to my baby. He’s very active and keeps on trying to run and jump so this added protein is best for him.

  • The milk for all!!

    Not only did my 1 year old enjoy drinking karicare A2 , my 3.5 year old did also! Both girls skulled their bottles of milk so quickly , I believe that was their way of telling me they LOVED it!!! Both had been drinking just normal cows milk but I now believe they love this better , possible will be switching over .... I love that it has 16 vitamins and minerals & no added preservatives!!! Neither child had any issues digesting the milk either ! Definitely going to be recommending to other mums and dads

  • Worth a try!

    My 15 month old currently drinks cow's milk but I thought we'd give this a go. After a few tries, she seemed to enjoy it more and more. I would not hesitate to purchase this to switch up her milk intake. I trust the Karicare Toddler brand (and drank it myself when I was a baby!).

  • Good taste and easy dissolve

    Karicare Toddler A2 Protein Milk 12+ is easy to dissolve compare with the A2 milk formula 1-3 years from The A2 milk company, as it has smaller milk particles. Karicare A2 milk has good taste, kids will like it. Compare with A2 milk formula, Karicare A2 Toddler milk formula has less nutrition on average quantity per 100 ml prepared feed. My 2 years old likes Karicare Toddler A2 Protein Milk 12+ Month.

  • All she would drink!

    My 20-month daughter was recently hospitalized and very sick with RSV she wouldn’t eat for 5 days and wasn’t drinking much, Karicare Toddler A2 protein milk was one thing she would drink. It was peace of mind knowing she was getting a little extra through her milk rather than standard cow's milk. Really impressed with how easy it mixed.

  • Excellent product but my toddler just doesn’t like powdered milk

    I did a bit of research into what goes into Karicare A2 Protein Milk 12+ and I believe the product to be an excellent choice for parents wanting to fortify their child’s diet. Unfortunately, my toddler hated the taste and would only ingest it in baking. I don’t know a lot of baking recipes that use powdered milk, so I still have about 3/4 of my tin left. I will give this to friends to use. Thanks :-)

    My grandson had been ill and went from loving his meals to being a fussy eater.

  • Karicare A2 the gentle choice

    Karicare A2 protein Toddler milk was very gentle on my little girls tummy. She was having some issues on another branded formula but as soon as I transitioned her over to Karicare A2 Toddler it was almost instant and shes was back to her happy self. She loves the flavor too.

  • Fantastic

    What I loved about Karicare A2 protein milk 12 plus moths is that our pricessess loved it and it wasn't a fight to get her to drink it. The extra vitamins and minerals gave us the peace of mind that she is getting all the micro nutrients she needs to grow big and strong and healthy. I've purchased this again since as it was on sale so great value and was easy to find at the local super market. Thanks heaps Moms for the change to try and now have a new item that works well for our family.

    My little one is 12 months old and we want to make sure she’s getting all the nutrition she needs. We’ve used Karicare toddler products before and it’s a name we trust. My daughter finished her bottle every time and it seemed to be very gentle on her tummy, we would definitely purchase this formula again in the future.

  • A good choice

    My toddler loved this - whilst one of the other parents that I hang out with (Mr Fussy) - did not like the taste.I had introduced the toddler milk gradually and my toddler loved the brew that I put together. II thought that he was growing up and reading all the ingredients that it includes - I would say that you get more bang for your buck. I like to know what is going into my body - as I do with my young crew.Would recommend this highly, I know that not all ppl will be hooked on this package - but now I am.Thank you Mouths of Mums - and boy do we have mouths to comment about products

If every school week is more like an episode of Survivor at your place, don’t worry, you’re not alone! The struggle to stay on top of the school week mayhem is real – so we’ve put together a bunch of clever ideas to give you back some precious time (and sanity).

There’s nothing difficult about these tips, just solid advice and ideas from a mum who’s been in the school trenches for over a decade.

1. Teach The Kids To Make Some Simple Breakfasts

Healthy Breakfast Cookies
Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies

 

Hang on, this is about breakfast, why are we showing you a picture of mouth-watering cookies?! These are Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies – perfect for a prep-ahead school day brekkie!

Depending on their age there are so many safe and easy breakfasts kids can make themselves. From toasties, to yoghurt pots prepped the night before or just cereal. Not having to make breakfast for everyone will literally save you hours every week!

2. Lay Out Clothes For The Week

Use a hanging organiser or labelled baskets for each day. Include uniforms, socks and undies. Kids can dress themselves without the drama of missing items. I’ll be honest, my kids’ uniforms are expensive, so I wash during the week as they only have a couple of sets. However, if nothing else, having just socks and underwear sorted for the week is an absolute lifesaver!

 

The other huge help is not having to pre-treat stains on my kids’ uniforms, nobody has time for that during the week! My extra tip here is to use a great quality laundry detergent that is powerful enough to remove stains in-wash, so you don’t need to worry about pre-treating. Biozet Attack’s range is perfect, and while each product packs a punch when it comes to lifting stains, I love that each targets different issues. For example, Biozet Attack Plus Eliminator Power Capsules eliminate 99.9% of odour-causing bacteria – great for teenage boy school shirts! There’s also Biozet Attack Plus Sensitive 2L which is dermatologically tested, but still powers through stains.

3. Use A Family Calendar System

 

Whether it’s a wall planner, a shared phone calendar or a digital calendar, you need everyone to be able to track all activities, due dates and after-school commitments in one place. It also helps gives the kids a a sense of responsibility and doesn’t leave everything on your shoulders!

4. Plan A Weekly School Admin Session

Answer school emails, sign permission forms, top up canteen accounts and check term calendars in one go instead of daily interruptions. You may only need to do this fortnightly or monthly, but just make sure you schedule it in your calendar. Trust me, it saves so much time compared to juggling things bit by bit!

5. Quick-Fire Cleaning Sessions

Set a timer for ten minutes in the afternoon, pop on some music and everyone tidies their zone. This includes the kids emptying their lunchboxes, washing their drink bottles, handing you any notes and putting their clothes in the wash. Small bursts like this stop the house turning into chaos by Friday.

6. Have A Snack Station

Child holding Babybel Mini Rolls over her eyes.

 

Keep a drawer or fridge shelf filled with ready portions. Kids can pack their own snacks for school, and also grab something to eat when they get home. Think ahead and include them in the weekly shopping – ask them what snacks they would like (and cross your fingers they’ll still like them all week!).

7. Set Up A Family Charging Station

One spot for iPads, laptops and phones. No searching for chargers or discovering a dead laptop ten minutes before school! Make sure each child puts their school device on charge when they get home, as part of their Quick-Fire Cleaning Session.


While we can’t promise your school weeks won’t have moments of chaos, taking some of these tips on board will save you time – even if it’s just five minutes here and there. It’s about building realistic habits for the whole family, that will hopefully bring some calm to the school week.

  • There are some great ideas here! I just use an old school paper calender but its so helpful to remember all the important dates – i always buy a family planner one so theres columns for each of us to write what were doing om certain days so we never run out of space! I need a snack station, but struggle to have healthy (or healthier) choices in the cupboard apart from the usual chips, rice crackers and museli bars!

    Reply

  • There are some good hints here! I already do have a little snack station in my pantry – a large container filled with all sorts of bars, etc. It’s the first place the kids look for something to eat. I do like the idea of a charging station but I don’t think it would work in my house. Everyone seems to like charging things in their room and it could look messy with multiple cords.

    Reply

  • The struggle is real so I’m loving these hints. I especially like the idea of getting the kids involved in preparing their own lunches and snacks and offering a variety of options that will hopefully encourage them to make healthy choices now and into the future.

  • A great article full of very helpful and handy tips. Most of these I already do but it has reminded me to add a few other things to my list to organise before the school year starts in a couple of weeks. Helpful tips like this are so great as you can never remember everything and this sure has given me a few extra things to think about.

  • We do daily life admin because it simply makes life easier to stay on top of everything that is required to run a family and household. Planning and organisation is so vital for every family and for a household. It really is very important to stay on top of all things at all times.

  • I love this article. I can relate to a lot of these ideas. For instance, I have a snack shelf in my pantry so my kids can choose and pack their own snacks. No more asking them what they want. We also have a family charging station in the kitchen. iPads, laptops and phones are only allowed to be charged on the kitchen bench. I love the healthy cookies. I must give these a go. The family calendar system is a must too!

  • I totally agree with most of these. We bought some inexpensive cereal dispensers, and that made mornings much easier. And school admin? For me, that is every Wednesday right before a regular appointment. It fitted in perfectly, I never overlooked anything, and if I didn’t need it it was a glorious burst of free time.

  • I love this article and the tips and already follow many of them. I have always been a big fan of schedules and planners and they simply make sense and make sure everyone in the family is on task. I also love snack stations; one for the fridge and one for the pantry; again it makes sense and makes preparing food and lunchboxes and snack times easy.
