Why Bunjie Is My Baby Brand of Choice

After trying a lot of baby products, Bunjie is the one I keep reaching for. The quality is genuinely worth the little bit extra, and Hudson has loved every bit of it.

I am picky about what goes on Hudson's skin and, honestly, about what earns a permanent spot in our house. We tried a lot in those early weeks, and Bunjie is the brand we kept coming back to. It is that lovely mix of gentle, Australian made and beautifully thought out, the kind of products that feel like a small upgrade every time you use them. Yes it costs a touch more than the supermarket options, but the quality shows, and for the things that touch his skin every single day, that little extra has been so worth it.

The everyday hero

The nappies

The nappies are where it started for us, and they have been so fantastic. They are soft, they hold up beautifully overnight and they are gentle on his skin, which for us was the whole point. You can genuinely feel the difference in quality the moment you put one on. You can shop the Bunjie nappies here.

One honest heads up, because I always want to be real with you: we found the newborn size ran a little big on Hudson early on. Nothing a good fit and a snug tab could not sort, and he grew into them quickly, but if you have a tiny newborn it is worth knowing so you are not caught out.

Good to know · The newborn nappies came up a touch big for us. If your baby is on the smaller side, keep the next size in mind and do not over-order the tiniest one.

For that soft, calm skin

The creams and lotions

Newborn skin changes so much, and the Bunjie creams have kept Hudson's soft and calm through all of it. The Snug As A Bug moisture lotion is a gorgeous prebiotic and probiotic formula that sinks in beautifully after a bath, smells divine and never feels heavy or greasy.

It has become part of our little wind-down routine, a slow moment of massage and moisturise before bed. A small thing, but the quality of it makes it feel like a treat rather than a chore.

For the girls · A little goes a long way, so one bottle lasts. Warm a small amount in your hands first, then it is the loveliest bedtime ritual.

The bedtime ritual

The bath oil

The Rock-A-Bye massage and bath oil might be my favourite of the lot. A few drops in the bath or a little post-bath massage and he is calm, soft and ready for sleep. It is the same prebiotic and probiotic, plant-based thinking as the rest of the range, so it is beautifully gentle.

This is the kind of product I did not know I needed until I had it. Now bath time without it feels incomplete, and it is one of the first things I recommend to any new mum.

Tia's tip · Use it as a massage oil after the bath, not just in the water. Those few slow minutes really do help settle them before bed.

The honest verdict

Is it worth the extra?

For us, completely. Bunjie is not the cheapest option on the shelf, but that is exactly the point. It is a small step up in quality for the things that touch Hudson's skin every single day, and you feel that difference in the softness, the gentleness and the way it is all made.

The nappies, the creams and the bath oil have all been genuinely brilliant, minus that one note about the newborn nappies running a little big. If you are choosing where to spend a bit more on your baby, this is the brand I would point you to. It has more than earned its place in our house.

The bottom line · Worth the little extra. Start with the nappies and the bath oil, then add the lotion, and see how quickly it becomes your go-to too.
