Neal's Yard Baby Barrier Cream

What WE Say...

It's no secret that Katy and I prefer our little stuff as additive-free as possible. So it's no surprise that we love the Neal's Yard range either!

Natural products, beautifully packaged... of course we love them. But surprisingly, our favourite products of theirs are probably the most mundane.

Having at least one tub of zinc ointment in the house is one of those necessities you only discover when you have a baby - one of life's little secrets that every parent knows and the childless will never understand. And Neal's Yard Baby Barrier cream is our very favourite product of all.

It is a thick, smooth cream, that adheres to the skin, but feels like it really will sink in once the nappies on, instead of just coating the nappy.

It doesn't dry tender bottoms, and at the first sign of redness a quick smooth of the white stuff leaves Ella pink and soft by the next nappy change. It even made a dose of tummy bug for Toby (5) quite bearable as his bottom never got sore.

But this little blue tub of magic is WAY more than just The Bottom Stuff (fab though that is). It is used on older boys grazes, grown up spots (well, so I am told. At 34 I, of course, am FAR too old to get spots. sigh). And its place in my heart was sealed after I had my caesarean - this was the ONLY thing that worked on my scar, helping to heal the last area which refused to clean itself up - and it kept my scar free of soreness until it was fully healed over.

This is one tub that should be in your gift package to every new mum. Really. No nursery should be without it.
