Deep Freeze

More than two-thirds of women are expected to suffer from muscular back pain at some time during pregnancy, while the physical demands of motherhood can also take their toll on back muscles, says Mentholatum. Deep Freeze’s drug-free cooling products can help ease the pain and are available in a choice of three formats: a cold patch, cold gel and glide-on gel.

Vicks

Vicks BabyRub (50g, £3.99) has been developed for babies aged six months and older. It should be massaged gently across the baby’s chest and stomach so that he/she feels calm and relaxed before bed-time or nap-time, says Teva. The mild cosmetic formula contains natural extracts of rosemary, lavender and aloe vera to help provide comforting care for delicate skin.

Bepanthen

Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment is described as an easy-to- apply breathable barrier cream that helps protect a baby from the causes of nappy rash – particularly at night when the nappy will be on the longest. Free from antiseptics, fragrances, colours and preservatives, the water-in-oil formulation keeps a baby’s skin healthy and hydrated. The ointment contains pro vitamin B5, which gently aids natural recovery of sensitive skin, says Bayer.

Oilatum

This new ad, showing that Oilatum is gentle enough to use from the very first touch, will appear in April. “At the earliest stages of childhood, skin-to-skin contact is vital for the health and well-being of a newborn baby,” says senior brand manager James Sharman. The new ad aims to raise awareness of Oilatum among parents looking for effective eczema and dry skin solutions. With 37 per cent of mums searching for product information online, there will also be a digital partnership with Amazon and NetDoctor focusing on first-time mums.
