A range of products – from wipes and nappy cream to self-sterilising bottles and breast pumps have come up trumps in the annual Made For Mums awards.

The parental product review site has recognised the best products across a range of categories covering everything from pushchairs, slings and breast pumps to nappies and bedside cribs.

Over 1,000 individual products were assessed and judged by a panel of expert parenting judges, as well as at-home family testers. Winning products were chosen based on a range of criteria including: ease of use, effectiveness and whether they were worth the money.

As ever, Aldi’s super affordable baby line was a huge hit with its Mamia sensitive wipes and Mamia newborn and ultra-dry nappies and nappy pants all being awarded Gold.

But there were also plenty of items from UK chain Boots that came up with top marks – from Bepanthen nappy cream (which absolutely nobody could fault) to a huge steriliser perfect for parents of multiples who have to clean billions of bottles every day.

So, if you’re in the market for baby stuff – and want to stock up on Advantage points while you’re at it – here are some of the best buys from Boots featured in the Made For Mums awards.
