Aldi "Mamia" Nappy Review

I thought I would do a quick post on why I love the Aldi Mamia nappies.

Before B was born I read a lot of reviews on All of the different brands available, since she has been born we have used Pampers New Born, Aldi Mamia Newborn and Asda Little stars (these were horrendous I would never recommend them to anyone)

After using Pampers for a couple of weeks I realised how much money we were spending, so after hearing the rave reviews on the Mamia range I picked up a few packets. Best thing I have ever done!

I find these nappies on a par with Pampers, at a fraction of the cost £1.49 for 24 Newborn Size 1!

B is now wearing size 3 (£4.39 for 56) and we are still loving them, I swear these coupled with Water Wipes have kept nappy rash away.

Things I love about them;

• They look and feel great, soft to the touch
• The sticky fasteners do not budge once fastened and they are elasticated giving a snug fit.
• The wetness indicator is a life saver, always tell when the nappy is full with the yellow line turning blue.
• Leakages and explosions have been minimal, even with the worst nappy!
• And finally PRICE, such an affordable price point

I honestly can't say anything bad about these nappies, I have been recommending them to everyone I know who is expecting.

I will continue to buy these nappies for the foreseeable, in my opinion they are giving all the big brands a run for their money.

Have you tried the Mamia range? What did you think? 

*All thoughts are my own, 100% honest review and purchased with my own money.

First Birthday being a Mummy

Yesterday was my 29th birthday, normally I would celebrate by going out for dinner, having a few drinks with friends and being suitably hungover the next day.

However this year was my first birthday as a mummy!

Blaire kickstarted the day by sleeping until 8am (this never happens) I however awoke at 7:30am thinking something was wrong! Do any other mums do this when their baby does something out of the norm?

We had a lovely chilled morning before getting ready for an afternoon of shopping.

My accessories for the day

Being a mummy now means you can't just up and go, it takes a while to get the bags sorted,bottles made and car packed with the pram! But we managed and off we trotted to Silverburn.

We had some lunch at Five Guys (Hello Cherry sprite) and wandered around the shops. I didnt actually buying myself anything, I did get Blaire a My Little Pony from Build a Bear!

Can we all take a moment to appreciate my amazing sequin mermaid trainers!

Blaire was a wee star being dragged around the shopping centre and sat in her pram most of the day! This is an achievement I know many other mums and dads will agree is major!

Unimpressed Blaire

The past 3 months have flown by and have been very trying at times but I would never change it. Being a mummy has completely changed my life, but for the better! Everyday brings something new and Blaire is growing into a proper little girl with her own wee personality and I love seeing her grow! 

So I am now in my last year of my 20s (something I refuse to accept) and can you believe I will have a 1 year old when I turn 30!!  I ended my birthday the way I do every single day, falling asleep on the couch! 

What do all my fellow mummy friends do on their birthdays now? 

Where has the time gone!

Hi guys, I am back!

As some of you may know I recently had a little baby girl in December. Blaire arrived 8 days late after 3 very long days of labour in the hospital! I won't go into the details but it has been enough to put me off child birth for a while!

But really, where does the time go?! like everyone always tells you, enjoy each day as they will be at school before you know it. This is so true Blaire is now 13 weeks old on Thursday!

Since having Blaire I really don't know what day it is or even what time it is, babies are hard work! And if anyone ever tells you different they are lying!

But we are now in a good routine and I have the evenings back to myself (she has even slept through the night twice already!) So as I have some free time again I am resurrecting my blog, I will write about baby related things and also fashion posts (when I am not in my pj's all day)

Speak soon
