Parents Prefer Boon – Here’s Why

Being a parent, particularly a new one, is a minefield. There is so much unfamiliar terrain to navigate. I remember being bewildered with my first baby. Despite being tightly enmeshed in a close knit circle of mother earths who took to motherhood like ducks to water, it still took time to fully comprehend what being a mother is all about. I’m older and wiser now with two kids under my belt and I like to think that I’ve done a good job. Understanding that first experience of motherhood, which is an intriguing, intricately woven mixture of phenomenal, frightening and overwhelming in equal measure, is essential to ensure that being a new mum runs smoothly for both mother and baby.

There are several integral aspects of motherhood that Boon has got right which is the why it is the preferential pick for first time parents, and hardworking veterans all over the world. Boon segregates its essential every day products into these necessary categories; feeding, bathing, diapering, health and safety, the nursery, travel gear and organics.

Being a mother involves multitasking; something we women are good at! Whether it’s bottle feeding baby whilst preparing breakfast or simultaneously cradling baby whilst loading the car – it’s a precarious tightrope of expectation. Boon helps to break down motherhood into the bare essentials, making it all the more accessible and less intimidating. When I looked at being a mum as the sum of its parts, it suddenly made more sense. Yes my baby needs to feed, yes he needs to be clean and yes he needs to explore. If I can just take one small step at a time, all of these components will fall into place and I’ll be a fully fledged mother!

Feeding

Nowadays feeding a baby is a versatile process. Whether you opt for breast or bottle, your little ones nourishment is paramount to his or her development into a healthy young adult. Boon segregate their feeding section into further necessary categories including bottles and nipples, breast feeding instruments, burp cloths and bibs to clean the muck and mess that inevitably comes with the feeding process and pacifiers. There’s also a range of teethers, bowls and utensils, sippy cups and lunch boxes. 

I absolutely adored the teethers as did my babies. Mothers know that, similarly to little puppies, babies who are teething just want to bite and gum at everything. Available in an interesting array of collectable characters, children can opt for chewable giraffes, mice and grapes to feed their imaginations as well as their mouths!

Bathing

I personally know some mothers who find bath time just hellish but for my babies, bath time has always been the best time. Perhaps it’s because we are born surrounded by fluid, safely carried within our mothers’ wombs that babies have a natural fondness for water. As well as keeping baby clean, it’s also a time for play, games and security. The versatility of bath time is what makes it so fun. For me, I like to play some music, drop in some toys and watch my baby play. It’s always delightful and the personal memories I snap are some of my favourites. Boon knows that bath time is so important in helping babies to feel cleansed, nurtured and loved. Their range of bath accessories, toys, shampoos, cleansers and lotions, wash cloths and towels are to die for. 

Finding an appropriate cleansing range for your baby’s delicate new skin can be a challenge but Boon’s range is gentle and perfect for such tender fragile flesh. Most importantly for me were the toys; ladybugs, the conventional duck, frogs and squirt sets help make bath time a beautiful experience for babies.

Diapering

Changing a diaper is one of the less thrilling aspects of parenthood. My mother always told me that the thought of changing a diaper made her feel unwell, until she had her own baby, and then it become a necessity that she threw herself into with a gung-ho approach that I too have inherited. It’s not my favourite part of motherhood, but it is necessary. The trick is to be quick, efficient and clean. As diapering is such a constant process whether you’re at home or on the go, the diaper pack is an essential travel companion as are its diaper cream, cloth and changing pad accompaniments.

Health and Safety

With both my kids, I had my anxieties. I was calmer the second time around because I knew what to expect. With my first baby, I was a bit more of a hypochondriac. I wasn’t sure what was normal and what wasn’t. I was muddling through and doing the best that I could. Both my kids are bright, healthy and loving so I guess I’ve done something right but it doesn’t always feel that way at the time. I don’t know a single parent who isn’t preoccupied by the health and safety of their brand new baby. It consumes the entirety of your mind. Whether it’s colic, diaper rash or nipple cream for a sore breastfeeding mum, the health and safety of mum and baby is so important.

Nursery

When both my kids came along, one of the most exciting aspects for newly pregnant me was prepping the nursery. I wanted to create a loving, lovely space that my kids would find soothing and revitalising. I wanted a room that married the importance of play, security and education. Boon helps new parents prepare this all important room with bedding, blankets, monitors and toys that make motherhood feel like a reality. Pregnancy is a wonderful experience but often feels surreal. As soon as you see your baby sleeping in their nourishing new nursery, the reality launches full throttle to the forefront of your mind.

Travel Gear

Some mother’s like to hibernate when their bubba is born. Others enjoy the hustle and bustle of being out. Either way, venturing out into the big wide world with a baby is both exciting and daunting. It can be tricky and frustrating. Our world isn’t always baby friendly unfortunately. Boon has carved out a soft and soothing space for introducing bouncing babies into the world. Their travel gear is both affordable and convenient, making the process secure and safe for baby and cosy and effortless for parents. It’s easy to feel like a saddled up donkey with baby carriers, diaper bags, car accessories, stroller and travel accessories but Boon’s aesthetically pleasing and designed to meet optimum quality standards.

Organics

Boon offer an organics range that sets them apart from competitors. The option to choose such products is an important one for young mothers to have access to and their range includes everything from milk blend capsules, natural rubber balls and baby shampoo and body wash. It is these wise choices that help make motherhood such a rewarding process. Knowing you are making the best choices for your baby deepens the intimacy of the bond between you.
