  • I was a skeptic on goats milk, but now a true believer on how good it is

    My daughter had a few issue with cows milk. Since switching to Karicare Toddler Goat Milk, she is a lot happier and she doesn’t have those issues anymore. I think goats milk is extremely underrated.

  • My little boy enjoyed it and gentle on his tummy

    My little boy has a sensitive tummy and can get quite blocked up. I had read that goats milk is gentle on little tummies so I was excited to be able to give this one a go. My son enjoyed drinking the Karicare Toddler Goat Milk and it’s great that it’s packed full of vitamins and minerals. The taste was a little bit different at first as he had one mouthful and looked at me but with a bit of encouragement he finished it off. I will continue to buy this Karicare Toddler Goat Milk drink as it has helped with his stomach issues compared to cows milk.

    I have continued my daughter on Karicare Toddler Goat Milk and after trying the stage 3, I am more than happy to keep her on it until she wants to stop. It has all the essential vitamins and minerals needed to support her growth and is nice and gentle on her tummy.

  • If you have a fussy toddler give this a try

    My little monster has refused so many different brands. I’ve heard goats milk is similar to breastmilk and gentler on tummies so I was keen to try this Karicare Toddler. I couldn’t believe it when he started drinking it instead of throwing the bottle across the room like he did with the others!

  • Amazing milk!

    We loved this Karicare Goat Toddler Milk! My little one Has a sensitive tummy so we found it hard to find a brand that wouldn’t make her spewy. We didn’t have an issue with this one and she seemed to love the taste. Didn’t clump either like some other brands we have tried.

  • A great dairy alternative.

    Karicare goat milk toddler is gentle on little tummies and a great alternative to dairy for those with allergies and intolerances. My daughter has a milk protein allergy and we would love to have more options available, especially for beyond 12 months.

  • Perfect dairy alternative.

    Karicare toddler goat milk is gentle on little tummies and perfect for children with allergies or intolerance to dairy. My daughter has a milk protein allergy, this is perfect for toddlers as an alternative to cows milk. We often have difficulty finding a non-dairy toddler milk in supermarkets so would love to see greater range.

  • Fabulous toddler milk

    Karicare toddler Goats Milk is fabulous. My son has a sensitive tummy and this product is so gentle on his digestive system. It doesn’t have a terrible smell like other brands often have and it mixed when when making it up.

    Definitely will buy again and worth every cent!

    Love it!

  • Liked it more than I thought!

    Firstly, the Karicare toddler goat milk tastes pretty good! and I was surprised to see in the ingredients that it was mostly goat milk, which I was very pleased with, also a fan of all the nutrients packed into it. The milk gives me comfort that my son is getting his nutrients because some days he refuses to eat (teething toddler!). I honestly loved this milk, I used it to mix into other things, like cereals etc, worked super well. Great product! I would definitely recommend this to other mums.

  • My 2.5 year old absolutely loved it!

    Karicare Toddler is my choice of toddler milk brand. I tried many different brands and we never had any problems with Karicare Toddler. I was so happy to find out that they have goat milk on their product line. I was raised on goats milk and truly believe that including goats milk in your child's diet is very beneficial. My daughter absolutely loves the taste. I highly recommend Karicare Toddler Goat Milk and I wish it was widely available.

  • Worked well

    My little bloke enjoyed Karicare Toddler Goat Milk, other brands have upset his belly and given him the runs so we were recommended to try some goats milk and this one was great. No more upset bellies and no issues with the taste. We have been using this for a while now with no issues.

  • Great product, I wont change now.

    Goat milk has always been underestimated so was really surprised and thrilled when I found out about this. My toddler didn't take to it at first but after some subtle blackmail its all he drinks. I'm also really happy to know that I'm giving my little one a nutritious drink that has a lot of vitamins and minerals that are essential for his growth.

  • Life Saver

    This Karicare Toddler Goat Milk is honestly the best I have tried with my little one. Having a child with eczema and allergies was stressful enough without having to worry about what milk he was having. Karicare Toddler Goat Milk took the guess work out. My son responded well to it, it didn’t affect his allergies and he didn’t end up with a windy tummy after a bottle. Would and already have 100% bought again and recommended to friends and family.

  • He Didn't Like It

    My 3yr-old was excited to try this Karicare Toddler Goat Milk 12 Months+ but after tasting it he said it was "yucky". I tasted it to see if he was just being fussy and I have to agree, it was not pleasant at all. It tasted like sour milk. I grew up drinking goat's milk, so I'm used to the flavour, but this was not nice.

  • Looks great, but not for cows milk intolerant

    This product looks great, easy to understand ratios and mixes well to prepare for toddler. My toddler didn’t mind the taste but I was sorry to see that cows milk (lactose) is still part of the ingredients, and that or the (newly learned) fact that goats milk can have same effect for babies with cows milk protein intolerance (tummy upset in our case). We are starting to try the Karicare Soy option now.

  • One of the better goats milk...

    One of the better goats milk out in today's market. I've tried other brands with my lil one and the process of making it wasn't great, the smell for one thing was not unpleasant and it was a much more gentle choice compared to cow milk.

    I give it to my lil one as a treat and he loves drinking more than 150mls in one go! The milk goes down well and does not have any nasty re flux. For sure a great alternative for your little one if you are looking for toddler milk.

  • Not for us

    I was excited to try this product as my son has a couple food allergies and I saw all the vitamins and minerals included. I found the instructions great. Unfortunately my son didn't enjoy it and refused to drink. I have tried him again and probably will do more as I think it's a great product and he may just be adjusting.

    This is a good product that my toddler enjoyed. It has a pleasant taste and is easy to digest. After the first try he kept asking for more!

    A great way to fill our toddlers with extra nutrition they need, without the need for cow's dairy. My little tacker enjoyed it in their bottle for bed, as well on breaktfast cereal, and as an afternoon drink.

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.

Mouths of Mums is proudly working with Biozet Attack to bring you this article.

  • 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!

    Reply

  • 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.
