  • Such a relief

    It’s been 5 doses of Little Coughs cough syrup that I have been taking in the last 2 days. It trickles down like honey and gives a very soothing effect. Because it’s summer and it gets very hot, I have taken care to store it below 25 degrees as it states on the packaging. It is very effective and I have not faced any laxative issue till now. Highly recommend for kids and grown ups.

    This is a special review for the Little Coughs as my son saw me reviewing and wanted to add his comments. It tastes sweet like raspberry and the cough syrup helped him feel better when he was sick. It didn’t make him drowsy and he was active all through. There was no fuss when we gave the cough syrup to my 4 year old. Highly recommended for coughs and congestions.

  • Great product

    It’s fantastic to have a cough product in the 6mth+ age group when so many others are for 6+. My kids liked Little Coughs Raspberry and asked for it even once they were better! It definitely made nights a little easier while my two and four year olds were sick. I’m starting to get sick myself and will definitely be using this one too.

    Since receiving little coughs new raspberry syrup, my kids have been sick a fair few times. When the cough starts, I strike with little coughs and find that the cough stays no where near as normal and they still love that raspberry taste.

  • Peace of mind to help with colds

    When my son gets a cough it can keep us all up at night. When we find he is coughing a few times a night we use little coughs before his night milk and we find the amount of coughing he does is either halved or none at all. The raspberry scent is quite strong but he has never refused it so it must taste ok too!

  • Great tasting for ages 6 months plus

    Our daughter absolutely loved the flavour and we found the dosing device to be so easy to use and administer. The fact that it is very safe to use in any age group from 6 months up gave us peace of mind in giving it to her. The raspberry flavour had no bitter aftertaste, which is common in other cold and cough preparations.

    This is a follow up review. I have since used the product on my daughter who was also happy with the flavour.

    After using Little Coughs Raspberry Syrup for my sons cough this past week, he hasn’t had his bad cough or complained about having a sore throat. He is now also eating normally and alot more active which I am very happy about. I was quite skeptical about cough medicines because none had previously worked for me but I’m glad it worked for my son.

  • Little Coughs Medicine

    Although we received our ‘Little Coughs’ product almost 2 months ago I was quite glad not to have the need to use it until now. Brisbane weather has been abit all over the place and my son and I both came down with cold and flu symptoms which included gaining a chesty cough. I do recommend seeing a health professional or GP before giving it to your child. I was advised to give my son paracetamol until his other symptoms passed and then give him the ‘Little Coughs’ medicine for his and my existing coughs. He has taken it well and has been less irritated with his coughing.

  • My son liked the taste

    Apologies for the late review as we have been lucky not to have any sick kids in the house! My son has had a chesty cough of late and this product has done well to ease it, in my son’s words it has cut the cough and makes it easier to cough and doesn’t hurt as much. A bonus is that he actually likes the taste and asked for more the next day. I liked that it seemed like a more natural product than other brands yet still effective. We will be buying this again when we run out.

How to choose the best lunch box for school

When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.

  • Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
  • Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
  • Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
  • Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
  • Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
  • The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

What to put in kids’ lunch boxes

Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:

  • Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
  • Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
  • Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
  • Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
  • Almond-meal slice with raspberries or blueberries – or both!
  • Vegetarian sausage rolls – these freeze well and make a great meat-free lunch when cold.

  • Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.

  • Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.

  • Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.

  • I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.

  • So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.

  • There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.

  • There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain

  • This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.

  • Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.

  • Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.

    Reply

  • These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.

  • I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.

  • My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags

  • Love our bento b.boxes. So easy to pack. I do however worry that they’re made of plastic, not metal….

  • My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.

  • Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.

  • I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
