Natural First Aid for Babies and Kids: The Bumps & Bubs Bundle Every Mum Needs

The Bumps & Bubs Bundle combines two gentle, natural remedies that handle the most common family first aid needs - from nappy rash and breastfeeding discomfort to playground scrapes and insect bites. Safe for newborns through to adults, these chemical-free products provide effective relief when you need it most.

Why I Finally Put This Bundle Together

Okay, so you know how I'm always banging on about these two products? Well, there's a reason for that.

With two boys, I've literally been through everything - those middle-of-the-night nappy rash meltdowns, the absolute torture of cracked nipples, and don't even get me started on the playground injuries. Boys, right?

Lucky for me, I've been making these products for the last 15 years, so I knew exactly what to reach for when chaos struck. But I kept watching my friends become new mums and get completely overwhelmed - not just at the pharmacy, but even looking at our range online. "Which one do I need?" they'd ask. "What's the difference?" "Can I use this on my baby AND myself?"

The Problem I Kept Seeing

Here's what kept happening - friends would come to me stressed about their kid's latest drama, and I'd hand them one of these jars. Then a week later, they'd be back asking about the other one for a different issue. It hit me that instead of making people choose between products in our range, I should just bundle the two essentials together!

These two have been my go-to combo for years. The Calendula Salve for gentle everyday stuff, and the Universal Herbal Ointment for when things get more serious. Together, they handle pretty much everything family life throws at you.

What These Two Actually Do?

For Us Mums (Because We Matter Too)

Cracked nipples from breastfeeding (honestly, why doesn't anyone warn you?)
Healing after birth when you feel like you've been hit by a truck
Kitchen burns, paper cuts, all that fun stuff

For Babies (The Precious Little Chaos Makers)

Nappy rash - both stopping it and fixing the angry red disasters
Cradle cap and those weird dry patches they get
Mystery rashes that babies seem to specialize in

For Kids (The Walking Accident Magnets)

Scraped knees from "I can totally jump that far" moments
Insect bites and stings from outdoor adventures
Bumps, bruises, and general kid carnage
Whatever other skin drama they manage to create

What Each One's Actually For

Calendula Salve - Your Gentle Go-To

This is your everyday hero. Super gentle, perfect for sensitive areas (hello, breastfeeding mums), and babies love it. No sting, no drama, just relief.

Universal Herbal Ointment - Your Secret Weapon

This is what you grab when things get real. Cuts, stubborn rashes, bites that won't quit - this little jar handles the tough stuff. The kids genuinely think it's magic, and honestly? Sometimes I do too.

I'm Still Using Both All The Time

Even with my boys older now, I've still got both stashed everywhere - bathroom, handbag, car, you name it. Whether it's helping a friend's kid with a scraped knee or sorting out my own cooking disasters, these two never let me down.

Look, if you've got kids or one on the way, just get this bundle. Trust me on this one - when you're dealing with your next kid emergency at 11pm, you'll be so glad you did.

And can we talk about how good this is as a baby shower gift? Way better than another onesie they'll spew on.
