7 Baby Products That Moms Can Also Use

7 Baby Products That Moms Can Also Use
Frazdic Sta. Ana|

Buying baby products can cost quite a lot. Essentials like baby clothes, milk formula, and diapers have to be purchased regularly as the baby grows, and baby gear such as cribs, car seats, and strollers can get very expensive, depending on the brand. Thus, when raising a baby, it’s important to find ways to save up on money wherever possible.

The good news is that some baby products can be used by both babies and moms alike; it only takes a bit of resourcefulness. This can help moms save on a few expenses in the long run instead of having to purchase new products.

In particular, Guardian baby products are affordable without sacrificing quality, allowing moms to stock up easily on essentials. Here are a few baby products that moms can also use for their day to day life.

Baby Body Wash

A baby body wash for babies is extra gentle for babies’ delicate skin, formulated to cleanse without stripping away the skin’s natural protective oils. This also makes them ideal for moms with skin sensitivity or other skin conditions like rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis. A good body wash to purchase for both babies and moms is Guardian’s Strawberry Yoghurt Head to Toe Wash. This body wash is enriched with yoghurt, honey, and strawberry extracts, giving it a boost in Vitamin A, B1, B2, B5, and B6.

Baby Shampoo

In the same vein, baby shampoo has a gentle formulation that avoids any harsh chemicals like parabens and sulfates. They’re also much more diluted compared to adult shampoos. This makes baby shampoo great for daily showers, as using regular shampoo everyday can strip away hair oils and make hair more brittle. 

Moms can also use baby shampoo to clean other things, such as makeup brushes, so that they no longer have to spend on buying specialized (and more expensive) cleaning materials. Guardian’s baby shampoo comes in 500 ml bottles, making them last longer for a cheaper price.

Baby Sunscreen

A sunscreen lotion formulated for babies veers away from harsh chemicals and perfumes, providing sun protection without irritating sensitive skin. They are often made with mineral ingredients, such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. Moms and other family members can benefit from using baby sunscreen, especially for those with sensitive skin. Just make sure that your baby sunscreen is at least SPF 50 for maximum protection.

Baby Wipes

Baby wipes are probably the most versatile baby product in this list. They’re fragrance-free to prevent irritation, come in practical resealable packs that prevent them from drying out, and are cheap enough to buy in multiples. Their primary use is for cleaning a baby’s skin, such as the buttocks, hands, and face. That said, moms can also use baby wipes as an emergency cleaner that they can easily keep in their purse. A couple baby wipes are effective for wiping spills on countertops, rubbing away a clothing stain, or cleaning up smudged makeup. One pack of Guardian’s fragrance-free baby wipes comes with 90 sheets, making them a cost-effective option.

Baby Lotion

Baby lotion is critical for moisturizing a baby’s skin and preventing skin irritation such as diaper rash and eczema. For moms with sensitive skin, it may be wiser and even more effective to use baby lotion to hydrate the skin and soothe certain dermatological conditions than to buy expensive branded lotions. Southstar’s in-house brand Guardian carries baby milk lotion that guarantees moisturization for up to 24 hours, proving that you don’t have to sacrifice quality for a lower price.

Baby Powder

There are many uses for baby powder: it reduces friction and chafing, prevents diaper rash, and keeps babies’ skin dry and comfortable in hot weather. Additionally, baby powder is well-known for its versatility outside of being a baby essential. Moms can use baby powder as a cleaning agent for grease stains, an air freshener, and even a replacement for dry shampoo. Another well-known tip is to sprinkle a bit of baby powder inside your shoes to remove moisture and bad odor.

White Noise Machines

A white noise machine emits a soft sound that can be a lifesaver for moms who struggle to lull their babies to sleep. When kept at a reasonable volume to avoid damaging the baby’s ears, the white noise generated by this machine can muffle outside noises and help babies sleep longer. 

A newborn baby needs constant attention and they don’t follow a consistent schedule, which can disrupt a mother’s sleeping habits. A high-quality noise machine can thus help moms catch up on some much-needed rest. For mothers who work from home, white noise can also improve concentration when performing tasks.

Get Quality, Locally-Made Baby Products For You and Your Baby

If you’re a mother to a newborn baby, choosing the right baby products for yourself and your baby is key. Getting essentials from highly-trusted, local brands such as Southstar Drug’s Guardian ensures that your baby supplies are safe and high-quality without having to spend a fortune.
