  • Steam Steriliser & Bottle Warmer Kit Review

    New beginnings is a pleasant surprise

    After a few uses of the steriliser I was pretty impressed with how the drying function incorporated into the sterilising options and once finished the cycle all bottles and teats were clean and dry and ready to be used
    I can just stack it up and pop it on while I continue with her stuff sound the house! I loved the warmer because sometimes the bottle doesn’t feel warm enough and with the multiple temperature options it was a game change.lr.

  • Steam Steriliser & Bottle Warmer Kit Review

    The New Beginnings Steam Steriliser & Dryer + Bottle Warmer Kit is a total game-changer for busy mums. It’s easy to use, with a simple dial that switches between functions, making feeding time stress-free. The steam steriliser fits multiple bottles and accessories, and the automatic drying feature is a huge time-saver. I love that it uses natural steam without harsh chemicals. The bottle warmer heats milk evenly and quickly without destroying nutrients. Plus, the included cleaning brushes and bottles make it a complete, all-in-one solution. It’s convenient, hygienic, and thoughtfully designed—definitely a must-have for any new parent. Highly recommend!

    Great addition to any new parents journey..

    Initially opening the pack, the items were sleek and impressive to look at. The steriliser was larger in size than expected but quickly found a spot to use the items successfully. The steriliser is efficient and I love the drying feature. Found it most time saving to use first thing in the morning or last thing at night so that you don’t even notice the time it takes in drying as this is extended compared to sterilizing.

    The warmer has been a great addition and especially love the capabilities to heat food as well as bottles with the commencement of the solids journey.

    The bottles are incredibly handy, hold a great level of volume for a hungry bubs, but fit comfortably in my nappy bag, as others don’t all.

    All of the items are easy to clean and to use.

    Perfect combo pack

    I was so happy with this perfect combination pack. It had all the essentials.
    It was very unique as it included many bottles compared to other brand packs. The different size brushes were perfect and the bottle warmer a great size. The Steriliser was larger in size however pretty similar to other Sterilisers in size.

    Gentle, Quiet, and Efficient — Even in a Cinema!

    After a few days of using the Lactech™ Wearable Breast Pump, I’m seriously impressed. Even though it’s hospital-grade, it feels much gentler on breast tissue compared to the traditional hospital pump I’ve used previously—which often left me feeling sore. It’s also incredibly quiet and discreet; I even managed to pump during a movie at the cinema without anyone noticing! Another highlight is the cleverly designed spout—once the pump reaches around 300ml, it pours out smoothly and cleanly. Unlike other pumps I’ve tried, I haven’t lost a single drop of milk during transfer. Thoughtful design, quiet operation, and gentle performance make this pump a total win.

    Discovering the Right Fit Changed My Pumping Experience

    My initial impression of the Lactech™ Wearable Breast Pump is overwhelmingly positive. The ease and accessibility of using a wearable pump makes a world of difference, especially for busy or first-time mums. What really stood out to me was the inclusion of a nipple flange sizing chart – such a thoughtful and practical addition. It takes the guesswork out of choosing the correct flange size, which is crucial for comfort and efficiency. I’ve been exclusively pumping for six months and only just discovered, thanks to the chart, that I’ve been using the wrong flange size all along—I’m actually one size smaller. This small but impactful detail makes the experience feel more personalised and supportive, which is exactly what new mums need.

    Lactech Wearable Breast Pump First impressions

    I was very excited to try the Lactech Wearable Breast Pump. I’m a busy Mum, as all Mums are and I hastily opened the breast pump. I was happy to see that it already had charge and I eagerly tried to figure out all the buttons without reading the manual. It was easy enough to get the gist without any reading, but I followed up with a quick read.

    Once I was ready to go, I attached, did up my bra (it fits) and went about my household work; no time to rest. They felt heavy when I went to attach them, however as I walked around, I didn’t notice them. I was able to do laundry, the dishes and my everyday tidy of the house – no problem.

    I’m fact, 15 minutes in and I had filled both breast pumps and I was done. I was able to easily pour the milk into a bottle and it was really easy to clean.

    So far it seems like an absolutely time saver, but I’ll post another review after I’ve used it for a couple weeks.

    Good product but quite bulky

    The steriliser seemed to work okay but it would not fit on our kitchen bench as it is quite bulky. We ended up putting it in our laundry. The bottle warmer was great, I look forward to trying it with foods and see how that works when the time comes.

    The new beginnings Steriliser and warmer

    The new beginnings Steriliser is a little bit bulky, other than that it works perfectly fine.
    The bottles were clean and dry at the end of cycle
    The tongs help with retrieving bottles in the most cleanest of ways.
    Also It is good to know the bottles are left without any Sterilising chemicals on them.

    The New beginnings bottle warmer is a game changer, it heats up a cold bottle within minutes and with having a little girl who is still feeding every 3 hours it is perfect to have sitting here to warm up her bottles and to keep them warm.

    I would definitely recommend the New beginnings bottle warmer yet if you don’t have much kitchen space the New beginnings Steriliser might be a bit big.

Having three young kids, juggling their commitments and her own as a school teacher means Kristie Young’s days revolve around snacking on-the-go. And she admits she’s not always reaching for the best options! So she was thrilled to try out new Nice & Natural Deluxe Protein Bars and says she’ll be restocking next time she’s shopping.

Kristie is right in the middle of one her busiest seasons of life – juggling three kids (two at school), a job, partner and household. But this year, she’s made a commitment to herself.

“I’m always running around. Always a million things on my to do list, but wouldn’t have it any other way.” Kristie told Mouths of Mums.

“But I’m turning 40 this year and I thought I really need to start prioritising myself, because for the last seven years, I’ve been pregnant, breastfeeding, busy with the kids, I have not looked after myself at all.

“So this year, I’m really starting to get back into my own fitness journey, health journey, and eating a lot better and starting to eat more regularly and eat more protein filled meals and snacks that will fill me up. So I’m not just reaching for sugary snacks, especially around that afternoon, where I’m getting tired from being awake with the baby all night and just finding myself reaching for junk in the cupboard.”

A self-confessed snacker, Kristie says her snacking habit is worse during school holidays when she’s constantly making in-between meals for the kids. So she decided to give Nice & Natural Deluxe Protein Bars a try, as part of the Mouths of Mums review team.

“They were actually filling. I like that they had eight grams of protein, because that’s something that I’m really trying to increase this year, having more protein. And they taste amazing, which is obviously great and I like that they have chocolate, because normally in the afternoon, I’m reaching for something sugary, something chocolatey, and this way I know I’m getting that protein hit as well. So they’re a bit more filling.

“They help me last until dinner time without reaching for all these other little snacks in between.”

“I also like that they’re easy to take out and about. So when I’m doing kinder drop off, dancing. I always pack snacks and food for the kids and forget myself. It’s been good put myself first and have something in the bag and on the go for me too.”

Nice & Natural Deluxe Protein Bars not only satisfy those constant cravings throughout the day, they’re temptingly tasty. With layers of nuts and soy crisps and enveloped in milk or dark chocolate, it’s every sweet-tooth’s dream.

“I’ve tried quite a few different protein bars, and some of them I don’t like the aftertaste or the textures too hard. Whereas I found this had a nice amount of crunch, the flavour was really nice, and the perfect amount of chocolate too.”

With three delectable flavours to choose from, Nice & Natural Deluxe Protein Bars make mum me-time an indulgent treat, with no artificial flavours or colours:

Salted Caramel, Cashew & Choc: Crunchy cashews, peanuts and soy crisps, topped with a delicious caramel layer and coated in rich milk choc.

Cookies & Cream Dark Choc: Crunchy peanuts and soy crisps, topped with a delicious cream layer and coated in rich dark choc.

Almond & Double Choc: Crunchy almonds, peanuts and soy crisps, topped with a delicious white choc layer and coated in rich milk choc.

How amazing do these flavours sound?! Kristie tried a couple of the flavours, and for her the Salted Caramel, Cashew & Choc was an absolute standout!

“I’ve got the Almond & Double Choc, which I love and Salted Caramel, Cashew & Choc. And at first I thought this one might be too sweet with the salted caramel, but it’s actually not. It’s perfect, the perfect balance. Probably my favourite!’

nice and natural deluxe protein bars salted caramel, cashew and choc

“They’re so good for having the desk draw at work, those little snacks. I’m not just reaching for sugary rubbish. I know they’ve got protein, especially in the afternoon, when I am running low on energy from being kept awake all night. It’s good to have these in the drawer and just have one each day, which I’m enjoying, something to look forward to at work.

“I’m putting them on the shopping list, so when I run out of these, I’m off to get some more for myself. My partner tried them, and he’s approved them. He wants some too. I said he can’t have my stash, so I know I’ll definitely be stocking up again at the supermarket. I’m recommending them and really enjoying them.”

Purchase Nice & Natural Deluxe Protein Bars from Woolworths and Coles.

  • I’m not a lover of regular “muesli” type bars but really love these new Nice &Natural Delux protein bars. They are not overly sweet and just love the salted caramel and cashew it us absolutely my new favourite snack at the moment. Perfect with my coffee for morning tea instead of my usual sweet biscuit it’s a double YUM from me

  • I rarely snack throughout the day and have an aversion to sweet things, anyway, so would not have tried these bars off my own bat. It is good to hear these reviews and that everyone liked them, but I still doubt I would buy a pack of 5 bars in case I didn’t like the sweetness of them. I avoid cakes when going out to coffee as well.

  • I’ve tried these too and found them filling and satisfying . They give me that chocolate fix that I crave but are small portions. I am trying to be healthier from now on too. Swimming every day and stopping the snacking. When I do have one of these it is planned.

  • Ive always l9ved the nice and natural bars and buy them quite often but I’m yet to try the deluxe protein bars. After reading this review and the comments ill definitely bevtrying them out as they sound delicious. I’m a bit of a sucker for caramel and chocolate so I know which ones ill be trying first!

  • These bars were soo good! I was hesitant thinking the added protein would make this taste funny or have a weird flavour but they taste amazing and are so addictive! I really enjoyed the cookies & cream flavour. They are super convenient to take on the go and are more filling!

  • I buy a couple of boxes when they are on sale.

  • It is always so great to hear and read other mum reviews of products. I love these muesli bars, they are so delicious and perfect to keep in your handbag or laptop bag for a snack at work or if you are on the go. This brand of muesli bars is one of my favourites as they have lots of flavour.

  • I trust your judgement Kristie so these will be put on my shopping list for my next trip for groceries. My son runs his own shop and he is always having muesli bars. I think these ones will be so much better for him health wise as well as being tasty.

  • Thank you for sharing your review with us Kristie, it’s nice that your experience was such a positive one. My daughter is very much into protein rich foods currently (together with going to the gym) and I believe she has tried these bars as well. However the bars have not such high star rating and personally I consider them as not so healthy

    Reply

  • Thank you Kristie for a very relatable and down to earth review with a lot of good detail. I found similar features with the bars when I reviewed them. The bars are not too hard and they are not too sweet which is terrific in a protein bar. These bars are now on our shopping list.

  • I was lucky enough to also receive Nice & Natural Deluxe Protein bars to taste and review. I was surprised with the taste and the texture of the bars. Salted caramel, cashew and choc is my favorite flavour and one of these bars with a cuppa for morning or afternoon tea is simply so satisfying.
