7 months into pregnancy and nesting kicks into overdrive, it hit me! What products will I be using to protect my daughter's skin, I was a bit disappointed with myself because up until then I'd never really thought about the type of skin my daughter would have once she was born, I was more worried about making it through the first night.....alive or childbirth!
Both safe and sound and we both made it through the next was what I could or couldn't not apply to her skin, or should I say should or should not be using on my babies delicate skin.
With so many new borns, mother and baby, brands out on the market currently it can all become a bit daunting. I wanted one that would be able to protect, hydrate and be pure on my daughter's skin and have the minimal amount of chemicals.
I came across or should I say first heard about Water Wipes whilst bouncing away on an inflatable ball in pregnancy Pilates class. I was intrigued or should I say what piqued my interest was that it was chemical free, yes chemical free! Couldn't believe it, finally music to my ears, so as a pregnant Mumma does I elegantly bounced myself up and waddled on over to find out more. Straight after class duck feet ready I quacked my way over to boots.
Preggers wasn't lying she was right, she also forgot to mention the slightly heavy price tag, but what does that matter when it comes to protecting your babies skin. Chemical Free, 99.9% water with a 0.1% fruit extract which is Citrus Grandis, similar to a Grapefruit and it's also a certified Allergy Friendly Product winning all round.
Fast forward 2 years and 10 months later and we are till using Water Wipes. I use them also, great to remove the days grime off my face, and I always make sure to have a pack (the lightest) in my bag to clean those messy faces, sticky fingers and snotty noses' too. But for me the big life safer is at night, Leanora gets a bad flare up of eczema in the folds of her arm and I take a wipe out and wipe her eczema where it has flared up and it helps settle her irritation helping her to be more comfortable and drifting off calmly back to sleep.
The only downside to Water Wipes is that when you get down to the last few, the water can drain out from the wipe leaving a pool of water at the bottom, but a little tip just flips it upside down, message the closed pack to help the water seep back in. The reasoning for this is, due to no chemicals holding/binding the water to the wipe.
We were sent a pack of Water Wipes for this review, but all views are my own and I'm happy to have them added to my collection, Mum was on her last two packets, phew!
If you've not yet heard or used Water Wipes and looking for a chemical free product to use on your babies or children's skin and a product certainly suitable for the whole family, or maybe you know of a friend/couple who are pregnant gift them a pack or box of Water Wipes.
Prices start from £2.70 and available to buy from Boots, Ocado, Amazon and most large supermarkets.
Have you tried Water Wipes before?

With the weather currently in limbo and the ground soft, finding the right footwear can be somewhat problematic, but when Muck Boot Company got in touch to try a pair of wellies, I could not resist.
I knew the perfect stomping ground to test drive these Wellington boots, a day out in the woods.
I was sent the Mid-Height Tremont Wellington boots and I have to say they are incredibly comfortable and very warm as well as being easy to wear all day, a bit of a shame when I get home to take them off my cosy toes, thanks to the fleece lining. The Tremont boot have a thick sole which are perfect for exploring rocky hills and they are also slip resistant and an added bonus they go just with just about anything.
Leanora was sent the Hales Kids Outdoor boots, she loves them so much she even tried to wear hers to bed! The Hale boots come in a variety of cartoon designs from My Little Pony to Transformers to suit both boys and girls and are brilliant for stomping around, they are also easy for kids to slip on and suitable for most weather conditions as well as having foam inside so makes it more flexible for our little monkeys to run around.
Overall a great family Wellington boot, they have a range for Dads or Men in our life too. Plus as well as the Hale cartoon collection being new for the little ones they have teamed up with the Royal Horticultural Society in time for Spring to bring out a limited addition collection in the Tremont boot or the Muckster II collection.
Do you have a pair of Muck Boots to stomp around, how do you find them?
Don't forget to stomp on over to Instagram to follow us.

I love Camden Town. It's music, food, markets, people and artwork and it just screams fun, fun, and yes, even more, fun and it's a perfect day or night for an adventure and what better way to use it in all its glory and to use it as my backdrop to bring out this darling Frills Button Down Blouse.
2017 is about going big, bigger the frill and ruffle the better, they are romantic and girly, they will also add a different element to your outfit and even brighten up your day this Spring by wearing a frilled sleeve top with a skirt or a feminine flirty ruffle dress.
I paired my frilled & Other Stories blouse, with my favourite Levi jeans, by god, do they get it right! Can you believe they are my first pair, who knows what I was thinking to only get a pair now, I'm grown woman for pete's sake, even an 80s baby so I've no excuse to not have a perfectly stacked collection of Levi jeans, but gong worry I'll make it up!
I finished off my look with a kitten bow mules from Zara, the ultimate must-have shoe this season and at a bargain, I'm sure they won't last long on the shelves. Now I've never been a middle man or woman kinda gal, it's either flats or anything over 4 inches is what I'm used too, so was a bit apprehensive as to wether I would like them but I do, the kitten heel is super practical and still holds that feminine appeal that a higher heel will give you, plus with all the various designs currently on the market you are spoilt for choice.
Below I've selected a few extra frills and ruffles to see you through Spring and a few extras.
Will you be wearing ruffles this Spring?
