Best Insect Repellant Spray for Babies : Giga Natural Insect Repellant in Eucalyptus

Moms out there can relate when I say how much I hate mosqitoes, cockroaches, flies, and other creepy crawlies. Well, even if you're not moms
I guess you hate em as well haha! But we are more worries when our babies are exposed to these icky creatures. These insects can give
a lot of germs, viruses, and sickness to our loved ones.
I'm not a fan of commercially bought insect killers or repellants since it can also pose dangerous to young children; So after trying out a lot of natural
brands like messy bessy, indigo baby, human <3 nature, and GIGA, I found a winner in my heart. That is GIGA's Home Spray Insect Repellant Eucalyptus scent.

Besides not having the stingy scent of citronella which I find too strong, the eucalyptus is very soothing to the nose, no hints of citronella here,
and I love it when me or my baby has the cough or colds, it kinda soothes and relieves it well. The scent is very comforting. Most of all, it works.
A few sprays everywhere in the room especially on the bed works all throughout the night giving baby a sound sleep, and me, a peaceful mind.
This is not a paid ad mind you! Haha.. I finished 7 bottles already and keep on buying. I buy mine in their stall 2nd floor Robinsons Manila around 175php.

Baby Geof and Mommy K approved! :)

Top 10 Uses for Lansinoh Nipple Cream

After giving birth, I wanted to purely breastfeed my baby because of its many benefits. Including lowering the rates of colic; colic, which causes excessive crying on newborn to infants. I was a colicky baby before and heard many horror stories from my grandparents and mom that they lacked sleep the moment I was born! :(

3 days of breastfeeding almost made me want to give up because my nipples were cracked, sore, and bleeding. It was so gross that I thought they were falling out. It was due to poor latching since my baby didnt know how to latch on properly yet. Thankfully I ordered Lansinoh Nipple Cream  from ebay and it gave relief to them, and in due time when my baby learned to latch, they werent sore or cracking anymore.

Did you know that this cream isnt just used for nipples? http://blisstree.com/live/top-10-uses-for-lansinoh-lanolin-nipple-cream-fun-facts/ lists down the other uses for this wonder cream

1. Be used as lip balm.

2. Treat diaper rash.

3. Help heal minor cuts, burns and skin abrasions.

4. Soothe itchy stretch marks.

5. Replenish the lanolin in wool diaper covers and wool nursing pads.

6. Heal cracked, dry winter cuticles or wind- and cold-chapped cheeks.

7. Treat eczema.

8. Un-stick a stuck zipper.

9. Remove a too-tight ring from fingers swollen from pregnancy.

Blog & Product Feature: Baby Mama Ph and Lansinoh Nipple Cream

I have been experiencing breast engorgement and nipple soreness the past few days due to incorrect latching.

What are you talking about K?

Well, latching is how baby attaches to mom's breasts to feed, engorgement is when the milk ducts become so full.

Searching high and low in google for relief, I discovered that Lansinoh Nipple Cream is the best product for nipple cracks, bleeding, and soreness (of course I need to learn proper latching to prevent these! But I also need a cure for now).

Lansinoh Nipple Cream is made from the highest grade of Lanolin that can heal the cracks and applied to the nipple without bad effects for the baby. It can be applied without rinsing off and gives moisturizing relief to the nipples.

The cheapest seller I have found so far is baby mama, from babymama.ph

Her site also sells a lot of breast feeding helpers like pumps, ice bags, milk storage, etc.

So go check her out mommies *wink*
