The Lucky Possum Waterproof Mattress Protector
A super absorbent, waterproof mattress protector which is very easy to use. This product is ideal for toilet training children at night time. Simply lay it over the bottom sheet and tuck the tails in under the mattress. The pad area is large (110cm width X 90cm length) with generous tuck tails (50cm X 90cm both sides). It can be used for both single and king single beds. It can also hold up to 2 litres of fluid. It is made of soft breathable quilted cotton which is comfortable to lie on. The mattress protector has non-slip backing and is 100% waterproof to completely protect your mattress and keep it dry.
The Lucky Possum protector is aimed at parents with small children who are either helping to toilet train at night or for children who are suffering from bed wetting problems and also for carers of the elderly or those with incontinence issues.
When someone has an accident in the middle of the night, it will absorb the urine and yet keep the sheet and mattress dry. You just remove the wet pad, replace with another new one to keep your bed dry and everyone can continue to have a good night's sleep. The beauty of this pad is, you don't have to change the sheets in the middle of the night and it protects your mattress with this affordable waterproof mattress protector. The protector is machine washable and tumble dry. You just use it again at night. It saves you doing a lot of laundry or nappies.

Flick Nits the Natural Way! Australia’s own Thursday Plantation solution comes out tops in new research.
There’s no need to scratch around for an effective solution to head lice! Research from Queensland’s James Cook University has rated Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Head Lice Gel number one. It was the only product to be tested that could achieve and maintain a 90% kill rate over a three hour period – and it was proved to be more effective than a product based on permethrin, a common insecticide.
It’s great news for parents seeking a natural solution, and who don’t want to use toxic treatments on their children. Plus, it comes at a time when studies have shown that a number of common chemical treatments are now ineffective due to increasing resistance of head lice.
Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Head Lice Gel turns head lice into dead lice. It’s a clinically proven formula that’s safe and effective and is gentle on children’s scalps. It contains 100 per cent pure Australian tea tree oil – which has been used as a medicine by Aboriginals for thousands of years – and it’s designed to optimise the lice killing properties of this tea tree oil component. And unlike insecticidal chemicals, it doesn’t leave toxic residue on scalp or hair and the gel won’t run into children’s eyes.
For effective head lice treatment, it’s recommended to try Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Head Lice Gel together with Thursday Plantation’s Tea Tree shampoo and conditioner, which are designed for ongoing hair hygiene and maintenance. Visit www.thursdayplantation.com.

3 Combi Bibs - Simple - Clever - Ideas - By Brother Max
Ultra-premium soft, leak proof cotton tops, with a plastic lining, that are especially comfortable for little ones and an easy pop on and off soft crumb catcher.
There are 3 cotton tops for 3 meals to last the whole day and for an easier life the cotton tops are washing machine and tumble drier friendly. The plastic lining even catches liquids inside food, helping to keep little ones clean, dry and comfortable.
The crumb catcher always retains its shape so mess stays in the bib, keeping parents happy too. When not in use, and to prevent dirty travel bags, the crumb catcher folds over like a glasses case to act as a closed, mess-free carry case – simply roll up the cotton top along with cutlery inside.
You will find the Brother Max innovative solutions to the challenges of parenting available in Specialty Baby Stores and selected national department stores. For stockist information, please contact Born with Style - 1300 885 337 or 02 9816 3837 For further information: visit www.brothermax.com.

Pregalates Pilates for pregnancy - Great benefits for mums-to-be!
Huge boobs, enormous bellies and weak pelvic floors are no strangers to expectant mums. It’s no wonder our backs ache and we struggle to balance with all that weight at the front of our bodies. The new range of Pregalates DVDs by pilates expert, Tasha Lawton, can help.
Pilates is fabulous for pregnant women. Not only does it keep the expecting mum fit, but it helps strengthen her back which in turn enables her to hold the weight at the front of her body.
The Pregalates classes also focus on the pelvic floor. A weakened pelvic floor is extremely common in pregnant women and mothers. Pilates during and after pregnancy means you can cough, sneeze and laugh without fear!
The Pregalates DVD set offers one DVD for each of the three trimesters of pregnancy and one designed to help mum get back into shape after bub is born. The instructor is also pregnant and has a great understanding of which pilates exercises you can do at the different stages of your pregnancy. She knows you can’t stand up quickly with a basketball sized tummy!
Pilates is proven to help keep your stress hormone levels low (cortisol) which can only be a great thing for you and your baby. The classes work on the transverse abdominus which is one of the muscles you use to push a baby out. If this muscle is strong you are more likely to have a smoother labour and faster recovery post birth. A wish on every mum-to-be’s list!
Pregalates DVDs make a great gift for the expecting mum. They are available from www.pregalates.com .
