We have a very busy week and sometimes I’m unable to bring home made food with us or there isnt the facilities to heat up the food, so I always carry a Rafferty’s garden pouch in my bag. Its great to know my daughter can eat when shes hungry and that she’s got a full, healthy tummy.

I have said it before and I will say it again these are so versatile.
We had a Family BBQ lunch for Australia Day with all the trimmings so as you could imagine we did not need a huge or heavy dinner. That’s were Rafferty’s GARDEN comes to the rescue. I whipped up a pancake batter added Rafferty’s Garden Veggie range …pumpkin, apple and sweet corn is wonderful also spinach, apple, broccoli and pea is also delightful and hey presto savoury pancakes or pikelets in a flash and they are great on the cash, easy, reasonably priced to whip up and any left over or extra made are super for the lunch boxes the next day. DELICIOUS .

I’m a mother of two beautiful girls under the age of 4 and expecting a 3rd child in april so I’m familiar with this product and my kids love it.
The packaging is super convenient, I am able to use them when I’m out about on a busy day and my kids can eat it straight out of the packaging without a fuss or mess.
oh and not to mention it’s great natural healthy taste is definitely a big plus.
happy kids, happy mum

I have used Rafferty’s garden for all 4 of my children. I love that’s it’s full of natural ingredients and started all my kids on this smooth range from five months. I love the variety and always recommend them. I find that he smooth range is fantastic as I start introducing solids and the purée range is great for six month plus. The sachets are great size and very convenient for busy mums like me.

Soon after we started my daughter on solids we started looking at introducing pouches to her because the on-the-go convenience was too good to pass up. I was drawn back to Rafferty’s Garden over and over again because I knew it wouldn’t contain lots of unnecessary ingredients and was going to be one of the best things I could give her.
My daughter loved that even from a young age she could hold them herself and took great pride in grabbing them from my hands to feed herself, although this wasn’t always as clean as it could be it was great to be able to start building her independence.
I like that there is a broad range of flavours even from a young age and continue to buy them for her now even though she eats 3 solid meals a day. Raffery’s Garden is something I will keep buying especially when my second child arrives as I’ll be able to chuck a few of these in my bag and be able to provide pleasing snacks to both of them.

Raffertys garden offers a variety of baby food which my little man enjoys. It is the next best thing to me cooking his meals for him. He doesn’t refuse to eat it he keeps coming back for me which is great as with some food he will not open his mouth. I am happy to continue with these products as I know it is something that won’t get wasted. It is convenient for when we are heading out and always good to have in the cupboard. It is a healthy choice for my little man and he really loves it!

Raffertys garden has a great range and variety. I don’t feel guilty feeding him these. I love the convenience of these products especially when we are out and about. I always ensure there are some in the cupboard. They are also great to add to cooking/baking when puree is needed. My baby will eat them all day if he could.

My son loves the raffertey’s garden range. I tried him on the pouches before I started cooking his food to see how he goes and now I cook his vegetables for breakfast and lunch but he has the fruit in the pouches for breakfast and snacks. He was just shy of four months when we started and now at just over 5 months we have tried some other products but always come back to the raffertey’s range

Week-end breakfasts are a little more creative here. This morning I whipped up a pancake/donut batter using Rafferty’s Garden smooth apple, pear and cinnamon. I poured the mix into my mini donut machine and after a few minutes simply rolled them in cinnamon sugar. Oh my warm, sweet heavenly delights ..oh so good. The homemade batter was so much healthier than store bought and the addition of the Rafferty’s added to a super nutritious mix and gave them a delicious taste and texture. Rafferty’s is so versatile and it is one of my pantry staples.

I was one of those mums who thought I’d only ever feed my bubs homemade veggies and never use packaged food. Then I actually encountered the reality of having kids! It’s good to know with this range that all you’re giving your baby is the fruit and veggies and no nasties. It’s such a lifesaver when travelling to be able to grab a pack when Bub is hungry.
My youngest is too old now so lucky I mind my baby niece, so I still get to have a little taste of the Apple cinamon one sometimes – yum!

Doing regular drives of at least an hour it was so convenient to be able to feed him something fruitfilled and easy for him to consume. Highly recommend them. I never really used the ones with veg but kept a steady supply of the fruit ones in my cupboard, ready to grab on the go.

Our daughter has just turned 4 months and is going through her bottles every 2 hours. We decided to add a meal each lunch time to help her feel more full.
Enter Rafferty’s!
She absolutely demolished it! She did really well with the smooth texture and was happy to eat her food and shove her hands in, I think to make sure she didn’t spill any!
I recommend using Rafferty’s Garden as it is important to me that my daughter enjoys her foods and there are no hidden nasties in her food

My daughter absolutely loved Rafferty’s Garden products. The pear and superberries was her ‘anytime of the day’ snack and she just love, love, loved sweet potato, carrot and apple. The range available was great, the packaging allowed her to become more independent with feeding herself. Plus it is very convenient to carry with you wherever you go.

These are excellent, just the ticket. We buy in bulk from Chemist Warehouse to ensure we are always stocked up, Little Miss 2 refuses most fresh fruit, so this has been the best way to encourage fruit eating, The ‘nothing else’ is also very important and the convenience is great. I always add a few to the nappy bag before we venture out.

My son loves Raffertys smooth, especially the banana, pear and mango flavour. Although he is almost 10 months old he still prefers smoother purees than lumpier foods so its is great that Raffertys has such a large range of flavours to keep him happy. I love that they are made in Australia.

Mums Reveal Their Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips
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.
🚫 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.

Mouths of Mums is working with Huggies to bring you this handy information.
*Zinc as Zinc Oxide. Tested on adult skin as a suitable substitute for baby skin. *#1 choice in Australian hospitals based on sales data.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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
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.
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! .
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.
