  • Perfect for little ones

    My children loved the taste and it seemed to have worked.
    It soothed their coughs and we were able to sleep through the night without listening to their nasty coughs.
    I definitely would recommend this, it can be difficult to find a medicine that works best but this has proved to have worked for our family.

  • Just perfect

    The Little Coughs cough syrup is just perfect and the most effective cough syrup I have tried and used for my bub. He does not run away from the Little Coughs cough syrup and really liked the raspberry flavour. It seems to work for all three of us at home. I have even recommended this to my friends and family. It is non drowsy and can be taken at work too. Great stuff.

  • Very effective

    This is my day 3 review of using the Little Coughs cough syrup raspberry flavour. I have now taken 7 doses in the last 3 days. I think I will be taking one more dose today and I should be absolutely ok. This cough syrup relieved me of the itch and pain in my throat and kept the dryness at bay. Very effective and I have been recommending the cough syrup to my friends and family. Love it. Best thing ever.

  • 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.

    The Little Coughs cough syrup raspberry flavour has suited me so well. This is now our 3rd bottle. I have got sore throat and nasal congestion at the moment and I have now started using this Little Coughs cough syrup. It has a very soothing effect just like honey trickling down the throat. I’m sure I will get better in 2 days. Stay tuned for a full review. Highly recommend based on quality and price.

  • Great stuff

    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.

  • Cough relief

    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.
    The syringe is so easy to use too.
    So happy to have found something that continuously works.

  • 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!

    We used the product a few times and it did it\’s job brilliantly stopping my daughter\’s cough so she could get a good night\’s sleep. I also personally tried the product first and it worked but wasn\’t a fan of the taste at all neither were my children but if a product works sometimes you just have to take it.

  • 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. I have had so much trouble in the past with her taking her medicine, it is nice for her to be asking to have more for a change! The product worked well on my daughter as well and the cough subsided after a few days. Thank you, Little Coughs and MoM for the opportunity!

  • It works!

    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.

    I would recommend
    Little Coughs
    Raspberry to other
    mums
    Little Coughs
    Raspberry is a great
    quality product
    I would use Little
    Coughs Raspberry on
    my child again
    My child liked the
    flavour of the new
    Little Coughs
    Raspberry
    Little Coughs
    Raspberry helped
    relieve my child’s
    chesty cough and
    clear their chest of
    congestion

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!

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!
