Aldi Mamia wipes -a review! #mamiaparentpanel


I've always been very particular about what I used on G's skin as both myself and Chris have sensitive skin.  Then the opportunity came to test mamia wipes we took the plunge!  On first inspection they have a lovely baby smell and are quite moist, however Chris' first comments were they're a bit thin and not going to clean up poo very well are they, however by day two he had to eat his words as they cleaned up G's bum easier than our regular brand!   There were only two minor niggles with these wipes it's very difficult to get just one wipe out of the pack at a time especially when doing it one handed because your other hand is trying to keep a wriggling toddler still to stop him getting covered with contents of his nappy!  Unfortunately this is the case with most baby wipes though.  The other point is that as you get to the bottom of the packet the wipes get wetter and wetter with the last wipe holding quite a bit of liquid which Chris squeezed out to prove his point!  They are however much more robust than they first appear and we are both converts and won't be wasting our tight budget on branded ones in the future!

Aldi mamia nappies -a review #mamiaparentpanel


When you have a baby one of the biggest expenses is nappies until you have to buy them regularly you don't realise how much they cost.  When G was a newborn I was very particular as to using branded nappies as I naively thought they would be better for him as he got older and money got tighter we started trying other brands but once we tried mamia we didn't look back  they are as good as the leading brand if not better and half the price -even better!






So when our princess came along last week we didn't hesitate to try the newborn mamia nappies and I'm glad we did at 6lb 15 she us by no means a tiny baby but the branded size one newborn nappies drown her these were a more snug fit and just like the regular nappies they were as good as the brand if not better and will definitely be a regular in our shopping trolley from now on!

Aldi mamia baby bath- a review! #mamiaparentpanel


Mamia baby bath has a lovely delicate fragrance which is a refreshing change as some baby baths are too strong.  It gives good bubbles which lasted throughout bath time and stood up to G's bubble beard test!

Aldi mamia baby lotion - a review #mamiaparentpanel


Mamia baby lotion has a lovely fragrance that took me back to when I was about 10 and my sister was a baby.  We don't tend to use lotions and potions in our house but we have for the purposes of this review.  So long as you don't put a ton on like I did the first time it soaks into the skin really well and leaves baby's skin smelling lovely and silky soft.

Aldi mamia baby oil - a review #mamiaparentpanel


I've never really used baby oil before as I always imagined it was really greasy I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was absorbed into baby's delicate dry skin and it had a lovely delicate fragrance which is very pleasant but not too strong that I was concerned about irritation.
