Mater Nappies – Newborn First Weeks

Our Mater Midwives + Mums found most newborn babies weigh

less than 3.5kg (approx. 8lb) and are too small for a traditional newborn nappy.

So we developed Mater Nappies – Newborn First Weeks to provide a smaller, high performing nappy for

these babies, at an affordable price for families.

baby’s healing cord

Mater Nappy Balm

Mater Nappy Balm is a silky smooth, exceptionally gentle cream ideal for nourishing red and delicate bottoms. This unique, soothing formula forms a protective barrier to repel wetness while still maintaining breathability and moisturising the skin – making for a drier, smoother bottom and a comfortable, happy baby.

Mater Nappy Balm was formulated to closely replicate the vernix – the naturally occurring substance produced in the womb which coats and protects the baby. This unique-to-market innovation provides more comfort for baby and peace of mind for mum.

Directions for use: At every nappy change, apply a small amount of nappy balm to baby’s clean, dry skin, particularly in areas prone to redness or irritation.

What mums are saying about Mater Mothers’ Hospitals’ maternity and baby care product range

“I used the newborn and toddler size nappies and they fit really well. They worked well overnight as I haven’t yet found a nappy my daughter doesn’t leak through and these did the job!”Kristen, mother of two, Narara NSW

“The newborn first weeks nappy was a good fit for my little one who was 2.5kg. It was so smooth and snug on my baby’s skin and very absorbent with no leakage.”Barb, mother of two, New Farm QLD

“The crawler and toddler nappies were really absorbent, never had a leak even overnight for both my daughters, and the stretchy tabs made the nappies nice and secure.”Yumi, mother of two, Concord West NSW

“The body balm was easy to apply and went a long way. It smelt nice. I didn’t have to rub it in, it just nicely covered my tummy. My itchy tummy stopped itching.” Liz, mother of two, about to be three, Taigum QLD

“It kept my son’s skin protected from nappy rash and was easy to apply. The cream had a pleasant, neutral smell and was a breeze to wipe excess off.” Rebecca, mother of one, Wynnum QLD

“The baby moisturiser absorbed well and it’s not oily – skin felt nice afterwards and made a big difference to my baby’s dry cheeks.” Allana, mother of one, Nudgee QLD

“Loved the smell. The baby wash soaped-up easily but washed off easily as well and didn’t leave any residue on the skin.” Hayley, mother of three,Camp Hill QLD
