    We really do like the ease of some healthy snack foods and we like to have easy and healthy snack foods for all of the lunch boxes. Sultanas and apples are a particular favourite with everyone in the family. The little boxes are just so handy and the sultanas and apples get gobbled up.

  • Thumbs up! Delicious AND healthy...

    The smokin’ corn was a real hit with the kids! It was yummy and not too crunchy. The flavours of popcorn were a real hit and great portion sizes.. the apples and sultanas were a good little addition for that ‘something sweet’ in the afternoon… all in all, tasty little snacks. We would highly recommend all the products we reviewed!

  • overall flavour review - Air Popped Corn

    So the opinions have come back (from adults and kids) on the taste of the air popped corn. There were 3 flavors included in the $5.99 10 pack: sea salt, cheesy and sweet and salty. The clear winner was: sea salt! Here is a summary of how the flavours stacked up.

    1) Sea Salt – favorite among the kids and adults of the household; a clear winner; reminded us all of freshly made popcorn sizzling in the skillet!
    2) Cheesy – it was a winner with the kids but the adults felt it tasted a bit “artificial”; reminiscent of heavily processed products from the 1980s
    3) Sweet and salt – this was described by the kids as “odd” and “at first ok but then not”. The adults found that it reminded them of the sticky popcorn covered in caramel, but it wasn’t sticky! Then the salt kicked in and it was “really confusing”… then the sweetness overpowered everything once again and you could finish the portion!. This was the least favourite – especially for the kids – so it was a shame there were 4 packs of this one and 3 of the others.

We also have a stash of sultanas and apples in the pantry as they make a great snack for around the house or on the run. Great products!

  • Tasty

    I buy these as a healthy snack instead of chips and crackers. The air popped popcorn come in 3 different but equally yummy flavours and are the perfect size for packed lunches. You never get bored with these. I sometimes nibble on them in the evening too while watching TV. One of my fave snacks now!

  • Very handy to have in the pantry

    These were great for the lunchbox snacks and were great individual sizes too. My son didn’t like the Smoky corn or the chickpeas though. He said his favourite was the sultana and Apple boxes. I would buy these again for when I’m running out of ideas for the lunch box but would probably stick with fresh fruit when possible.

    Loved the popcorn- a great healthy snack for those in between meal times. Sea salt was the clear favourite! Sultanas and apples also yummy, gives good variety rather than just sultanas in a pack, and the price was good too!!

  • Kids loved them.. Even the big kid!

    The apple and sultana snacks were a huge hit not only in the lunch boxes but also as a small snack for the crazy time when they’re “starving” while dinner is cooking.
    Will definitely be buying these again.
    The air popped corn was also a hit but weren’t too keen on the cheese flavour.
    Kids wern’t a huge fan of the crunchy lunchbox snacks but they were a huge hit with the husband and have already had to restock!
    All in all the kids loves having something new in the lunchbox and will definitely be purchasing these products again!

  • Will be buying again.

    I would recommend the Woolworths Crunchy lunchbox snacks, dried fruit and the Air popped corn. However my daughter loved two for the flavours of the air popped corn but disliked the cheese flavour. The dried fruit is so convenient and great tasting also. Will definitely be buying these items from now on.

  • A packet of Pop

    My children were so excited to take woolworths Air popped corn to school in their lunchboxes this week. They are convenient and taste great. They have dairy allergy so the cheese flavour was no good, but the toddler and I took one for the team and ate that flavour ourselves ???? The Woolworths dried fruit is also a hit and makes a lovely messfree afterschool snack before dancing. We will be purchasing these products again 🙂

  • Not happy

    I had difficulty locating these products at my local woolworths in epsom and was unable to purchase sultanas and apples snack packs as they were unavailable. What I was able to purchase my two boys aged 12 and 14 did not like, although they did eat popcorn but asked me not to purchase again. Macro smokin corn they said were disgusting.

  • Tasty Macro Mini’s

    We enjoyed all the snacks! I think the favourites in our house were the air popped popcorn in the cheese flavour & the cheeky chickpeas.
    The kids like the sultanas but weren’t a fan of the apple pieces.
    I enjoyed the smokin corn the best.

  • Handy and convienent and so tasty

    Apple and sultana packs are great! We loose interest when just all sultanas, so was really impressed when there was a good balance of apple in there also! These will be a regular staple in our pantry now.. the popcorn, have only tried the cheese so far.. the smell is a bit off putting but they taste quite morish.. the chick peas and corn packs are great for an adult, but too hard for them to become a staple in miss 2s lunchbox

  • Cheeky chickpeas, smokin corn and Eda-Yummy Mix

    These were definitely not a hit with my 2 and 4 year olds. The bbq seasoning was a touch spicy for them, the dried vegetables were rock hard and both of my children thew them on the ground.
    My husband and I both tried these and neither of us would ever buy them again.
    For the super health conscious I’m sure these are great, but for taste and flavour we’d rather spend our money elsewhere.
    They may pass the school lunch box test but if the children won’t eat them then what’s the point.

  • Sultanas and Apples

    I felt for sure this was going to be a real winner, my children love apples and they love sultanas. This pack was $1.95 for 6 boxes.
    Unfortunately the sultanas were a success but both of my children picked the apple out and it was wasted (if anyone knows what to do with a whole heap of dried apple please let me know).
    I’m going to stick with buying plain boxes of sultanas because the apple was wasted on my kids

    What a great little 1o pack!
    3 different flavours means something for the whole family. Our favourite was the cheese flavour, the kids thought it was delicious and wanted to keep eating more and more.
    The 10 pack was very convenient but at approx 60c per pag ($5.99 for the 10 pack) this would be saved for special times only.
    Great but pricey

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.


Nappy Rash Myths & Facts

🚫 Myth: Nappy rash is only caused by wet nappies.
✅ Fact: It’s true that moisture does play a role in nappy rash, it can also be caused by moisture friction, bacteria, and even what the nappy is made from.

It’s why choosing a nappy that’s specifically designed for skin protection is really important.

🚫 Myth: Cloth nappies are better at preventing nappy rash than disposable nappies.
✅ Fact: When it comes to nappy rash, there’s not really any need to compare cloth and disposable nappies, because it’s all about keeping baby dry. The longer baby can stay dry, the better.

Huggies’ Rapid-Dry™ Technology absorbs wetness instantly, reducing irritation risk.

🚫 Myth: Nappy rash creams are the only way to protect against irritation.
✅ Fact: A good nappy with a zinc enriched layer can also help to protect against irritation.

  • Really terrific advice. My daughter never had much in the way of nappy rash develop and I believe that because I did change her so frequently and we had a lot of nappy free time, especially in the warmer months of summer. Sure there is things to treat nappy rash but we all know prevention is best!

  • 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.

    Reply

  • 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.

    Reply

  • 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.

    Reply

  • 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

    Reply

  • 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!

    Reply

  • 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

    Reply

  • 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.

    Reply

  • 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! .

    Reply

  • 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.
