Navigating the early days of motherhood while also filling your own cup can feel like a delicate balancing act. But for our naturopath and new mum Callan, her morning routine is essential - a ritual that not only sets the tone for her day but nurtures her little one’s health too.
Here's a peek into Callan’s favourite mum-friendly and wellness products that help keep her and her young family afloat.
For baby Arthur:
1. Weleda Nappy Rash Cream
- Nourishing & protective with 100% natural ingredients
- Supports healthy skin in delicate areas
- Perfectly formulated for babies and young children
“My go-to for protecting delicate areas. Organic calendula and chamomile extracts alongside zinc form a protective barrier that supports healthy skin. Great for your own bumps and scrapes too.” - Callan

2. BePure Kids Daily Probiotic
This broad-spectrum powder probiotic supports:
- Digestion & bowel regularity
- Microbiome diversity & balance
- Immune system and skin health
“When Arthur started daycare, I noticed a big change in the health of my household. A balanced microbiome is key for immune health, so finding a probiotic suitable for my one-year-old has been a game changer. Since giving him this probiotic regularly, there’s been a lot more peace and good health at home.” - Callan

3. Nutra Organics Veggie Hero
- Taste-friendly 15 veggies, fruits & super greens
- 18 vitamins & minerals from whole foods
- Blends into all kinds of meals seamlessly
“I’m proud of my boy’s adventurousness with new foods, but getting adequate amounts of fruits and veggies into him from his diet each day isn’t a sure thing. With this handy powder, he’s getting a tonne of goodness in a small scoop that can easily be hidden amongst his favourite foods. I’ve noticed he’s brighter and happier after a couple of weeks taking this each day.” - Callan

For mumma:
1. Lifestream Barley Grass
- Rich plant source of in iron, protein, antioxidants, and chlorophyll
- Nutrient rich to support healthy energy and vitality
- Supports healthy digestion
“A colleague of mine put me onto barley grass last year, and it’s been a staple in my pantry ever since. I love that it’s full of vitamins and iron that support energy – very much needed running around after children! I think it’s palatable on its own, or easily hidden amongst the flavours of a smoothie. Great for the whole family to keep everyone feeling their best.” - Callan

2. BioBalance Astaxanthin
- Powerful antioxidant sourced from algae
- Support for exercise recovery, healthy skin, and clear vision
- Perfect alongside a supplement/skin care routine for aging softly
“Astaxanthin has been an epic discovery for my skin and post exercise recovery. I also notice my eyes can see clearly, even after long nights awake with bub. I’m really enjoying fresh, bright skin - unusual for an under slept mother! The saying is usually “when you feel good you look good”, but sometimes it’s nice to get a boost when you look in the mirror.” - Callan

3. Antipodes Diem Vitamin C Moisturiser
- Supports even skin tone and the appearance of hyperpigmentation
- Smooths the appearance of fine lines with Kakadu plum
- Suitable for all skin types
“A valuable member of my glowing skin routine. This moisturiser instantly visibly hydrates and over time I have noticed more evenness in my skin tone’s appearance. Perfect for under makeup, or on its own for a fresh, healthy glow.” - Callan
|
4. Antipodes Supernatural SPF50+
- Broad-spectrum UVA & UVB SPF50+ for reliable sun protection
- Certified vegan and made with 100% natural-origin ingredients
- Great for blemish-prone, sensitive skin and aging softly
“As far as natural sunscreens, this is top tier. I only wish it came in a bigger container! This sunscreen feels like applying a decadent moisturiser and leaves your skin radiant and dewy. For those wanting more of a matte finish, dust some pressed powder over your face to neutralise the glow.” - Callan
