 Maclaren Beginnings Protecting Nappy Change Balm

Posted by dulwichmum on Tue 1 June 2010

Name of product: Maclaren Beginnings Protecting Nappy Balm.

Price: £15 for 250 mls

The blurb: “Baby and mum will have a nappy time with the Aloe, Shea and Cocoa butter infused with soothing Lavender and calming German Chamomile to nourish, soothe and protect baby’s delicate skin. To protect a baby’s bottom by preventing and soothing irritation.”

My poppets are now too old to enable me to try or test baby products, so I asked my good friend Saoirse to help me with this review.

First impressions: Saoirse commented that this was a rather large tube and would last for a very long time.

Ease of Use: She said it was handy that the balm is in a tube, making it easy to dispense and therefore more hygenic.

Pros: Saoirse commented that the balm smells lovely, light and is easily absorbed into her baby’s skin. She said it definitely helped the irritation on baby’s bottom caused by teething.

Cons: She reported that the tube is too big so awkward to carry with you in a change bag. “Half the size would be better. The balm sometimes split when you squeezed it from the tube so can be little watery.”

Value for money: Although the tube is £15, which seems a lot, it lasts a long time as only a small amount is required for each application.
