I am a first time mum to a handsome little boy. Looking after him at home can be a breeze, but when I take him out to the mall by myself, things can get a little out of hand and stress takes over. Luckily, NIVEA Stress Protect Clinical Strength is here to help! See how you could win yourself one below!
NIVEA Stress Protect Clinical Strength
Last week, I had afternoon tea with 2 other new mums and I brought little Asher out all by myself for the first time. Hubby was a little doubtful that I could handle the baby, the stroller and driving our new car but I assured him that I will be OK. So I parked the car, got the stroller out, put the nappy bag under the stroller and strapped the baby into the stroller bassinet – perfect! It was a cloudy and breezy day so I wore a warm coat to keep warm.
For the first 20 minutes, little Asher was enjoying shopping with mummy, but then started crying because it was time for a feed. He wouldn’t stop crying on the way to the parent room and while I changed his nappies. I started to panic a little with people’s looks around me. I got into one of the breastfeeding rooms to feed him. While feeding, he was wriggling with frustration for no reason. After he’s done, he was crying and screaming and there was no way of soothing him at all! I was holding him in one arm and packing my things up in another. It was extremely difficult as he was arching his back and wriggling, I didn’t want him to flop backwards and fall and he wouldn’t stop crying.
At that moment, I started to sweat like a pig! I had to take my coat off and pull up my sleeves because I was getting sweaty holding an angry baby who was ALSO hot and sweaty. I had to take his little jacket off as well because the heat was aggravating him as well. My gosh, I was sweating hard out and my top was showing sweat patches (how embarrassing!) so I had to pop on my big warm coat back on (it was very uncomfortable, but I had no choice)!
I only managed to soothe him by getting out of that parent room and walking around in the stroller. Oh my, I think that put me off taking him to the mall all by myself!
Stressful times doesn’t just end there, no no. We were also in the midst of moving into our new house. Another totally stressful thing to do. Our old place – which we have lived for just over 9 years have accumulated so much junk and boxes we haven’t even unpacked. I’ve moved houses before but this time with a young baby, it’s not as easy as you think. They tend to be extra fussy when you want to do some packing and cleaning! I was packing for half an hour and soothing the baby for half an hour… and the cycle goes on and on. I know that stress is something that would make me sweat like a pig, so after the mall incident, I dashed for NIVEA’s Stress Protect Clinical Strength antiperspirant so there is one less thing for me to worry about!
It is super easy to apply, just twist up and apply directly. There is no wait for the product to dry and I can put my cloths on right away. Did I mention that it smells great as well? No sweat, no odour and smelling great!
Now I can rely on NIVEA Stress Protect Clinical Strength whenever I am expecting a lot of stress. So if you are a busy mum juggling with kids, housework, house moving, etc. and you want to #stresslesssweatless give NIVEA Stress Protect Clinical Strength a try!
