When I was pregnant, I was sent some beautiful products from Zita West. Leonora Bamford, a mum of three and publisher of leading parenting website My Baba, has joined forces with a top fertility expert and midwife, Zita West, to create a range of supplements to support your baby, toddler and child’s growth and development. Laying down the foundations to help strengthen their body’s natural resilience, Baba West ensures science and nutrition work hand-in-hand to help shape your child’s future health.
Children’s Multivitamin & Multibiotic Powder
What drew me to this product was that it is suitable for ages 1-12, so I can use it for Lucas and Morgana rather than needing to buy two separate products. It is vegan and gluten-free.
This formulation contains 100% or more of the recommended NRV (Nutritional Reference Value) of 13 essential vitamins and a high level (12.5 billion) of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium-based friendly microflora. Along with Vitamin D, which is also needed for the normal development of children’s bones and teeth, it also contains Vitamins B6 and B12 to help with their normal cognitive development and Vitamins C and A plus Zinc and Selenium to help support their immune system. There’s a clever combination of other B vitamins, including B1 and B2, to help release energy from foods.
The daily dose should be two scoops a day; the scoop is included in the box. It can be mixed with water, milk or juice alongside food or sprinkled onto yoghurt or cereal. I found it didn’t mix well into milk, and Lucas didn’t like the texture of it, although he didn’t mind the taste he described as a ‘kind of strawberry’. However, Morgana and Lucas are happy having it mixed in yoghurt.
Snuffle Pillow Mist
I don’t know about you, but we can’t go through a Winter without needing something on the pillow to unblock Lucas’ nose to help him sleep through the coughs and colds he picks up at school. The Baba West pillow mist is suitable for children from 6 months old. This natural solution is a gentle yet effective mix of Eucalyptus, Pine and Thyme essential oils with anti-viral and antibacterial properties to help relieve blocked and runny noses. It also smells delightful! Use in the day on a handkerchief or muslin to help clear their noses. Use on the pillow, pyjamas or muslin cloth at night to help your little one drift off.
Strawberry Fruit Bears
Wondering how some sweets made the health essentials list? Well, these are no ordinary sweets, but there’s no need to tell the children that! These bacteria-friendly gummies are made from 100% dried fruit with no added sugar or artificial colours. The gummies contain a friendly bacteria, BC30TM, to support your child’s gut and immune system. Each serving of these bacteria-friendly gummies delivers over 1 billion friendly bacteria to their gut. Baba West Fruit Bears are a source of vitamin C to help keep your child’s immune system in top condition. They are also a source of prebiotic fibre, high in fibre and a source of friendly bacteria to keep their gut happy and healthy. They are made using fruit solely, so a serving of 8 bears counts as 1 of your child’s 5-a-day!
