Sleepless Nights Return!

Oh well, the bliss of full nights sleep has passed and sleepless nights have returned.
The twins have more teeth on the way and are so unsettled. When Taylor opens his mouth his poor little gums are so swollen at the back where the dreaded molars are trying to cut through. It is going to be a long haul, he is only on his first molar!
Isabella cut all four of her molars without any fuss. She is a typical girl, she just gets on with it. She has cut her teeth and we have only known about them when we have seen them. However she is currently cutting incisors on both sides and is feeling it a bit. She has turned from a cheery little girl into a little grump!
Taylor has struggled with each and every tooth. He has only just cut his seventh tooth so we've got a way to go yet but this molar seems to be taking forever. He's then got three more molars to come after that plus three other teeth to even catch up with Isabella!
I was just enjoying getting used to actually getting some sleep. I'll be used to not having as much sleep after a couple of nights but in the meantime I'll stick with my good friend, caffeine, who will help me through the day!

Sudocrem Care & Protect Cream Review

We were recently asked to test out Sudocrem's new Care & Protect nappy cream.

I jumped at the chance to! As the twins are both teething they are extremely prone to getting sore little bottoms. That is one of the first signs that new teeth are on their way.

We normally use the traditional Sudocrem cream that come by the tub. It is so thick but it works wonders. I have tried other nappy creams and have always gone back to Sudocrem so I was more than curious to see whether Sudocrem could improve any more!

The Care & Protect cream comes in a handy little tube that is ideal to put in the bag for when we go out. It has an easy to open lid which is great for when I am trying to juggle a nappy change with the other twin trying to climb over us and grab anything that they can. The small size is great for hiding away to stop little hands getting hold of it. Isabella has got into the tub of Sudocrem in the past and has got cream everywhere. This lid is not as easy for them to open!

This cream, unlike the traditional Sudocrem, is a light cream that rubs in easily and a little goes a long way.

I normally use nappy cream as and when needed. However with the Care & Protect I have been applying after each nappy change to not only provide an invisible barrier but to also prevent any soreness.

I am delighted to say that even with teeth coming neither of the twins have had any sore bums! This means that they are both happier during nappy changes which means that nappy changes are a little bit easier.

So what makes this cream different for others?

Sudocrem Care & Protect works in three ways to help care and protect for babies delicate skin.

• Sudocrem Care & Protect has a protective barrier that seals in the skins natural moisture. This results in babies skin feeling left soft, smooth and supple. This is the barrier which protects against irritants and rubbing which causes nappy rash.


• Sudocrem Care & Protect conditions skin. Sudocrem Care & Protect is hypoallergenic and contains special ingredients including Vitamin E and Pro Vitamin B5. These "special" ingredients help to not only protect the skin but also keep it in healthy condition.


•  Sudocrem Care & Protect guards against infection by creating a protective barrier which guards against infection.

We will definitely be changing from the traditional Sudocrem to Sudocrem Care & Protect from now on. This cream has prevented any sore bottoms for the twins during a time when they get the most. So because of that we give it our thumbs up!

Gumigem's New Bubba Bag - Review

When I first heard about Gumigem's new idea I thought
"What a great idea!".
When we were asked to give it a test run I was more than excited! Being a huge Gumigem fan this was a dream to test and review!
The latest teething item from Gumigem is the Bubba Bag!
The Bubba Bag is a washable, neoprene bag containing a purse, mobile phone, credit card and car keys. All of the teething toys are made from the same non toxic silicone that is used to make the Gumigem teething jewellery.

 

As all parents will know, babies and toddlers are constantly putting things on their mouths. My twins particularly like my mobile telephone, keys and remote control. So when I heard that Gumigem were making teething toys designed around some of these everyday items I knew that they would be a success.
As soon as I gave the twins the bags they grabbed them and toddled off to explore its contents.

 

 

This lovely, soft, neat little bag sits open when placed on the floor which makes exploring its contents simple. Isabella loves walking around carrying the bag and placing toys in and out of it. Both twins will sit and gently place the toys in and out of the bag, stopping for a good nag on them, then continuing! The Bubba Bag is a multi functional toy. It not only holds the teething toys but is also a great toy accessory. Isabella has even found that she can wear it as a hat!

 

Having two teething toddlers means that they are always wanting to chew items. They have found that the car keys are ideal to get to those hard to reach molars that are coming through. The purse has lovely little bobbly bit on the top which they are always nibbling on. The credit card and mobile phone are nice and slim and we have found that they are perfect for Isabella to chew on where she has got a canine tooth trying to cut through.

 

The mobile telephone is not only a great toy to chew on but has also provides make believe play for the twins. Isabella has had full blown telephone conversations with her grandparents! While Taylor is just happy to chew and sooth is sore gums.

 

All of the toys have a little slit which can be used to attach onto a dummy holder to prevent them being lost when out and about.

I'm sure that these bags are going to be a firm favourite way beyond teething.

Priced at £19.99 plus delivery this makes the Bubba Bag an excellent value for money toy.

The majority of the teething toys that we have bought in the past have become too "babyish" and the twins have quickly snubbed them. However these are so much more than your regular teething toys.

The Gumigem Bubba Bag will grow with your child. It is great for small babies when they start to teeth as the toys are light weight and easy to hold. As your child grows and develops the toys go from being just teething toys to being toys that encourage imaginative play, hand and eye co-ordination and develop fine motor skills.

All toys carry the CE mark and everything is suitable from 0 months except the keys which are from 10 months.

These toys get a huge thumbs up from all of us and I am intrigued and excited to see what Gumigem think of next!

Chewy remote controls?

Chewy cars?

Chewy dolls?

The possibilities are endless!
