The Perfect Fit

Wearing clothes that are too tight, shoes that don’t fit properly, being heavily pregnant and not fitting behind the steering wheel, that face mask that just doesn’t sit right and makes you want to touch your face constantly… We all know the discomfort when something just does not fit correctly.

When it comes to little humans, you want only the best for them: not stretched out clothing that is too small, but clothes that fit correctly to keep them warm and comfortable. When they start to walk, you want their little feet to be protected by shoes that will not only keep their feet safe but will allow for perfect development as they grow. You want them to have the correct diet to ensure optimal nourishment and development. When they are ill, you want to ensure that they get the correct medication or assistance to restore them to health as soon as possible. When travelling, you strap baby in the car seat and make sure that the safety belt is on correctly to keep them safe, but not so tight that it can hurt them.  You want baby to have the ‘perfect fit’ when it comes to essentials and when it comes to baby nappies it is no different.  Hi Baby Premium Nappies and Pull ups are the ‘perfect fit’ in so many ways.

The super absorbent core of Hi Baby Premium Nappies and Pull Ups means that baby is dry and comfortable throughout the night. You want the nappy to fit correctly and their skin to be free of redness and irritation – this can be ensured thanks to the soft leak guards, the stretchy waist and the adjustable velcro straps.

This means that you do not need to push baby to stay in a size for longer than needed. As a result, this is also the ‘perfect fit’ for your pocket.  Furthermore, our size 6 pull ups are slightly larger than most other brands, meaning you have more peace of mind not having to worry that your baby will outgrow their favourite nappy brand before they are potty trained.

    I personally find shopping for baby clothes difficult due to the stores I shop at, they have different views on the fit of the clothes, lie for example 0/3 months in one store is the same size as 3/6 from the other.

Do Babies Really Need Sunscreen? The Risks of Overuse and Underuse

When it comes to protecting babies from the sun, many parents wonder if sunscreen is safe and necessary. The truth is, experts advise against using sunscreen on infants under six months old as their skin is thinner and more sensitive, leading to greater absorption of chemicals and a higher risk of irritation and rashes. Babies under six months have a higher surface-area-to-body-weight ratio, which increases their exposure to sunscreen chemicals. Some chemical ingredients, like oxybenzone, may cause allergic reactions or disrupt hormones. Sunscreen can also impede a baby’s ability to sweat and regulate their body temperature. 

Instead, the best protection for young babies is to keep them out of direct sunlight, dress them in lightweight, long-sleeved clothing, and use hats and shade as natural barriers. 

For babies over six months, a gentle, broad-spectrum baby sunscreen with at least SPF 30 can be safely applied. However, using sunscreen should complement, not replace, other sun safety measures, which are vital – especially in our sunny South African climate! 

Karen Van Rensburg, spokesperson for Sanosan, explains, “Parents often struggle with knowing how much sunscreen to use on their babies. It’s important to understand that while sunscreen is a helpful tool, relying solely on it, especially for very young infants, can be risky. Using physical barriers like shade and protective clothing alongside sunscreen provides the safest approach to sun care for babies.”

To keep babies safe, parents should:

  • Avoid sun exposure during peak hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.)
  • Use shade and protective clothing as the first defence.
  • For babies over six months, reapply a suitable sunscreen on a regular basis to maintain protection, especially after going in the water, after drying off or after sweating. 
  • Your baby should not stay in the sun too long even with sunscreen because every sunburn damages the skin and is a serious risk to their health. 

This balanced approach highlights that cautious sunscreen use combined with physical protection methods is key to keeping baby skin healthy and safe from sun damage. 

Sanosan Baby Sun Cream SPF 50+ is a top-tier sunscreen designed specifically for delicate baby skin including broad range of UVA+UVB protection SPF 50+. With its pleasant texture, this cream absorbs quickly for easy application and delivers 24 hours of nourishing care, making it suitable for babies, children, and adults alike.

Plus, its microplastic-free, and safe for our oceans!

More than 90 % of the ingredients are of natural origin such as organic olive oil, and the formulations are biodegradable.

Decoding Baby Eczema

For many South African parents, few things are more stressful than watching their baby’s delicate skin flare up with redness, dryness, or tiny itchy patches. Baby eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, affects up to 1 in 5 children worldwide — and while it’s common, it can leave parents feeling worried and overwhelmed.

But the good news is, with the right skincare routine, baby eczema is manageable. And no, it doesn’t mean your little one will always struggle with sensitive skin.

“Parents are often surprised to learn that baby eczema is not a sign that they’re doing something wrong,” says Karen Van Rensburg, spokesperson for Sanosan South Africa. “It’s a common skin condition linked to an underdeveloped skin barrier, and the key is to protect and strengthen that barrier with gentle care.”

Baby eczema usually shows up between two and six months of age. It can appear on the face, behind the ears, on the arms, legs, or even the chest. The skin becomes dry, red, itchy and, in some cases, scaly.

“Triggers vary,” explains Van Rensburg. “It could be heat, dry air, soaps with harsh ingredients, or even certain fabrics. Understanding what sparks your baby’s flare-ups is an important step in managing the condition.”

So what can parents do at home? Here are some dermatologist-approved tips:

1. Keep baths short and sweet

Stick to lukewarm water and limit bath time to 5–10 minutes. Avoid bubble baths and fragranced soaps.

2. Moisturise immediately after bathing

Lock in hydration by applying a fragrance-free, gentle moisturiser while your baby’s skin is still slightly damp.

3. Choose your products wisely

Opt for creams specifically designed for sensitive baby skin. Look for formulas enriched with natural oils, chamomile, or panthenol — like those found in Sanosan’s baby skincare range.

4. Watch the wardrobe

Dress your baby in soft, breathable cotton and avoid scratchy fabrics like wool. Always wash new clothes before wearing.

5. Spot and soothe flare-ups early

At the first sign of redness or irritation, apply a gentle, protective cream to calm the skin.

6. Don’t overheat the room

Babies with eczema are often sensitive to heat. Keep the nursery cool and use a humidifier if the air feels very dry.

7. See a healthcare professional when needed

If the rash is severe, infected, or your baby seems very uncomfortable, always seek medical advice.

“Parents sometimes think stronger products will ‘fix’ eczema faster,” says Van Rensburg. “But baby skin is incredibly delicate. Harsh ingredients strip away natural oils and make things worse. Gentle, consistent care is far more effective in the long run.”

Baby eczema can feel daunting, but with the right care and patience, most little ones outgrow it as their skin barrier matures. In the meantime, gentle skincare, lots of cuddles, and a watchful eye on triggers can make the world of difference.

“Think of it as supporting your baby’s skin while it learns to protect itself,” Van Rensburg adds. “You’re not just treating eczema — you’re helping build a healthy foundation for life.”

10 Surprising Uses for Nipple Cream That Moms Swear By

Think nipple cream is only for breastfeeding moms? Think again. Across South Africa, women (and even some men) are discovering that the humble little tube hiding in the baby aisle is actually a multi-purpose lifesaver.

The magic ingredient? Lanolin — a natural wax derived from sheep’s wool that locks in moisture and helps skin heal. It’s the powerhouse behind many trusted nipple creams.

“South Africans love a product that can do more than one job,” says Karen Van Rensburg, spokesperson for Sanosan South Africa. “Lanolin is one of those ingredients that’s stood the test of time because it’s safe, gentle, and surprisingly versatile. Moms swear by it long after the breastfeeding chapter ends.”

So, what else can you do with lanolin nipple cream besides soothing sore nursing nipples? Here are 10 surprising uses that might just make you toss a tube into every handbag, nappy bag, and bathroom drawer.

1. Dry, Cracked Lips

Move over lip balm — lanolin is richer and longer lasting. A tiny dab keeps lips soft and flake-free, even in the Highveld’s dry winters, or the Cape’s windy summers. 

2. Nappy Rash Relief

Gentle enough for a newborn’s skin, lanolin helps soothe redness and creates a protective barrier against wet nappies.

3. Cuticle & Hand Rescue

Massage a bit into ragged cuticles or dry hands before bed and wake up with salon-soft results.

4. Stretch Mark Support

Regular use can help keep skin supple during pregnancy or weight changes — a must-have for moms-to-be.

5. Cracked Heel Fix

Tired feet? Apply before slipping on socks at night. By morning, heels feel noticeably smoother.

6. Sunburn Soother

That unexpected Cape Town beach day burn? Lanolin locks in hydration to calm the sting.

7. Chafing Relief

Runners, cyclists and gym-goers use lanolin to prevent friction and soothe irritated skin.

8. Eyebrow & Flyaway Tamer

A smidge brushed through brows or hair smooths down unruly strands without stiffness.

9. Minor Skin Irritations

From windburn on your cheeks to those rough patches on elbows, lanolin helps restore skin’s moisture barrier.

10. Makeup Hack

Many makeup artists use lanolin as a dewy highlighter on cheekbones or to revive dry mascara in a pinch.

Lanolin is especially loved because it’s gentle, natural, and safe for even the most delicate skin. Unlike many multi-purpose balms, it’s also fragrance-free and hypoallergenic — meaning the whole family can use it.

“It’s the ultimate multi-tasker in a tube,” says Van Rensburg. “Once you start experimenting with it, you realise there’s almost nothing it can’t do.”

Sanosan Mama Nipple Salve contains just 100% pure, natural Lanolin, without parabens or fragrances. Dermatologically tested, it’s safe for both mom and baby, with no need to rinse before feeding. Available from Clicks Baby and Online stores, takealot.com, Makro Online and medhealthsup.com
