  • Ultra thin

    The new beginnings silicone nipple shields are great for a little cover when you have sore nipples during breast feeding. They are made from 100% food grade silicone, they are nice and thin and very comfy, making it easy pain free breast feeding and they are super easy to clean and store away in the cute case provided. Love my new beginnings nipple shields.

  • So easy to use

    The new beginnings silicone nipple shields are great. The base of the shield suctions onto your breast just like the new beginnings manual silicon pump. It draws out my milk which then flows into the nipple part of the shield. My baby girl feeds from the shield and suctions on very nicely, my girl is able to have her normal feed without me enduring any discomfort or irritation. Definitely a must have for new time mummys.

  • Beautiful range

    I’ve enjoyed using my new beginnings aqua gel pads for quite some time now. They are so very lovely to have for every breast feeding mama out there. When you just need to bring your sore scratched or cracked nipples back to life after those bad breast feeding days. They instantly cool the momemt you put them on, they stick on very well and stay on for as long as you leave them there. They can be reusable if you put them into a clean surface and you can store them in the fridge to keep that cooling sensation after youve used them a few times.

  • Very happy with new beginnings

    New beginnings range is fantastic, i love using the silicone nipple shields when I need to give my nipples and breast a rest. They suction on very well and stay on nicely without moving around. My little currently 5 months old can latch on very well and has done since around almost 4 months. It’s so nice to have peace of mind that when i need a little break i can still get that whilst breast feeding and we both feel comfortable.

  • Great for relief

    My little one has tounge tie so when she latches on and sucks, I end up with quite sore nipples. Now she has also started to grab and pinch my breasts. After her last feed before bed I like to apply my new beginnings aqua gel pads for some much needed soothing, i love the instant cooling sensation they give my breasts. They sick on nicely and stay on all night long. If you put them on a piece of baking paper they are also reusable to, i find keeping them in the fridge after 1 or 2 uses really helps keep the cooling and soothing sensations lasting alot long too.

    I love the new beginnings range, the reusable breast pads have become a new favorite and an everday necessity. I find them very comfy, nice and soft on my skin. They hold alot of leakage before needing to pop then in the wash and they come with a cute little wash bag to keep then safe in the washing machine. Definitely recommend new beginnings reusable breast pads

    I loved the quality of all of the products in this range. The pads did not slip around or bunch up and felt lovely on my skin. My son has been weaned of shields, but I did give him a quick try and he fed well with it. The gel pads were super soothing and definitely recommend fot sore cracked over used nipples!

  • Must have

    The new beginnings aqua gel breast pads are an absolute must have. I wish i knew about them when I had my first and second baby. They are so handy to have especially when baby starts to grab, pull, pintch and bit your breats. I find that i look forward to putting mine on towards the end of most days. They instantly cool and soothe my sore and aching nipples. I highly recommend.

  • Great breast pads

    I love the new beginnings breast pads in particular. They do a fantastic job keeping your skin dry while absorbing a lot of leakage. They’re a good size and provide a lot of coverage, while also being discreet enough to wear out with no one noticing them. My only slight critique is that I find the adhesive doesn’t always hold them in place, but that’s not a huge issue and I’ve never had them leak even if they shuffle around a little

  • Long lasting

    Its been a pleasure trialing the new beginnings maternity range. I’ve already converted 3 mums at my mum and bubs class to now buy the aqua gel pads. We always talk about many things pregnancy, baby and after birth our bodys and everything inbetween. This one particular catch up we were all talking about what we do after a hard feed with baby biting nipple or scratching boobies. I mentioned that I’ve trialed the new beginnings aqua gel pads, a few of the mums had never heard of them, a few have already and currently using and i got 3 of them thanking me the week later saying they were life savers. I love telling people about great products that actually work.

    So happy with my new beginnings bamboo breast pads. You get six per pack, so I’ve always got another set ready to use whilst washing another. They are made with bamboo so very nice and soft on my skin. They also come with the cutest little wash bag.

  • Piece of mind great product.

    I love being able to have the option of using my nipple shields when needed. Its nice to have the peace of mind knowing bubs will be able to have her normal feed and that i wont be left with any discomfort. The new beginnings nipple shields suction on very nicely to my nipples and breasts, the feel nice on my skin and have never left any irritation behind.

    Absolutely love using my new beginnings aqua gel breast pads. After hectic bedtime feeding, my girl at times pinches, scratches and clamps down on my nipples. By the time i put her down my boobs are so sore and i have red scratches all over my boobs and chest. It’s nice to have something to rely on to help fix and soothe all of this for me. The moment i pop my aqua gel pads on i feel an instant cooling sensation, i leave them on all night, they stay in very nicely without moving around. When i wake in the morning my boobs and nipples feel so refreshed.

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

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!

Sandhurst

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!

  • We often have homemade pizza nights aka fakeaway night! And my pizza is always on a low carb Pizza base with roasted and sundried tomato and capsicum. My fav combo with grilled chicken and a swirl of peri peri mayonnaise! Making our own is always better than takeaway versions and healthier!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • This is timely and helpful, thanks – I aspire to entertain more and tips to make it less stressful are very welcome.

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.
