Our Bepanthen Challenge – as smooth as a baby’s bum

March 25, 2019 thriftyyorkshiremum Comments 0 Comment

When we were asked to take part in the Bepanthen challenge, I’ll have to admit I was slightly dubious. We were challenged to see how Bepanthen could be incorporated into our routine. Baby O does have sensitive skin, and her little bottom does seem to get red quite a lot. However, nothing we’ve tried before has made much difference unfortunately. So what is Bepanthen? Bepanthen is a nappy care ointment that forms a transparent, breathable layer, and helps to protect…

Baby O At 6 Months

March 3, 2019 thriftyyorkshiremum Comments 0 Comment

It’s such a cliche thing to say, but oh my word, where have the last 6 months gone?? It literally seems like 2 minutes since we brought our little Ottie home. To the madness of life as a family of 5. After a tricky start, having to stay in the hospital for 3 nights, we finally made it home, and ever since then life has never been the same again! Exactly 6 months ago, we had no idea what we…

BabyDam Review

February 5, 2019 thriftyyorkshiremum Comments 0 Comment

Let me take you back 5 years or so. Back when we only had one tiny human to look after. Bath times were one of my favourite times of the week. I’d sing songs to my little baby, he’d kick his legs and giggle adorably. Beautiful, bonding experience. Fast forward to now. Two extra children have been added into this equation. And bath times are no longer the picture of peace and serenity they once were. If my older two…

Milky Tee Review

December 10, 2018 thriftyyorkshiremum Comments 0 Comment

I must admit, I’ve never really been one for ‘breastfeeding clothes’, as such. I’ve breastfed two babies, both for around 18 months each. That’s a total of 3 out of the last 5 years spent breastfeeding. I could never get my head around the fact that most ‘nursing’ clothes were also maternity as-well. Which I find a bit odd, as (usually) you are either pregnant, or breastfeeding. Not both! Especially as my babies got older, I didn’t fancy buying clothes…

It’s taken me 2 weeks to write this post – I wanted to get it all written down, and also needed time to process it all. 21-11-2018 I’m sat writing this with my beautiful 11 week old daughter sleeping on my chest. 11 weeks! Part of me feels she’s been here forever, our final little puzzle piece. The rest of me feels like she’s not been here two minutes. If you’ve hung around here for any length of time, then…

#MyAquaphor Challenge – 5 Uses for One Product!

December 3, 2018 thriftyyorkshiremum Comments 2 comments

I remember my Parents having Aquaphor in the house when I was a child. It would get used for all sorts of things, it was always in the bathroom cabinet! So when Brit Mums got in touch to see if we wanted to get involved with the #MyAquaphor challenge, I had a massive moment of nostalgia. I’d actually totally forgotten about this amazing Multi-tasking product and was looking forward to seeing if it lived up to my nostalgic expectations! In…

Emma’s Diary baby photo shoot review

November 20, 2018 thriftyyorkshiremum Comments 2 comments

As a mum of 3, the more children I’ve had, the less time I’ve had! Obvious I know, but it’s meant things like the amount of photos I’ve got of them as babies has lessened as well. I must have hundreds and hundreds of photos of my eldest as A baby. It’s basically what I did all day, I couldn’t stop myself. We’d created this amazing little human and I couldn’t quite believe it! Fast forward 5 years and baby…
