Car Safety for Littlies
Car seats and safety tips for parents When you become a parent, keeping your child safe is your most important job, and safety in the car is particularly important. Most of us drive so regularly that we forget how dangerous cars can be – but car crashes are one of the most common causes of injury and death for children. Car seats are now more sophisticated and high-tech than ever before, which is good news when it comes to keeping your children safe. But as seats have changed, so have the rules and guidelines about installation and use. This is where it gets confusing – many parents are not sure about car restraint laws or best practices. You have to choose from a huge range of car seats, install them properly, then work out how to get your brand-new baby strapped in safely. It can be a minefield, so it’s a good idea to work out what you’re doing well ahead of time – you don’t want to be googling info on the way to the hospital. Here’s our guide to car safety for young kids in NZ. Car seat law in New Zealand Children are far smaller than adults, and they’re built differently as well. That’s why car seats are essential – they protect delicate bodies in case of an accident. Seat belts are designed to sit in the right place on adult bodies, but not on lighter, shorter children. They can actually cause damage to children’s organs in a crash. That’s why the law says that children in New Zealand must travel in an approved, appropriate car seat up to the age of seven . The seat must be installed correctly, and the child must be secured properly. After seven, she should use a booster seat until she is tall enough for safety belts to fit correctly. Safety tips for little ones Car seats are key, but there are other car safety considerations as well, especially as your child gets older. It’s important to never leave your baby or child in the car alone – even if you’re only leaving for a few minutes. Here’s what to remember: Install baby and child seats in the back seat, as this is the safest place – front airbags can be deadly to small children in a crash. Put your child in his seat and secure the straps every single time – even a short journey could be dangerous. Never leave children in the car alone, even for a short time – babies and small children can overheat and dehydrate very quickly if left in a car. In warm weather, make sure your car is air-conditioned, or keep a window open to provide airflow. As your child gets older, teach him to get out of the car on the footpath side if possible – if not, make sure he waits for an adult to get him out of the car. If you’re taking multiple children out of the car, teach them to keep a hand on the side of the vehicle while they wait. Don’t let children play with car doors or controls unsupervised. Activate child safety locks while driving if your car has them. The right car seat at any age When you look at the huge range of options, car seats can seem overwhelming. What’s right at each age? How do you install them correctly? How do you know when your child is ready for the next type of seat? The good news is, there’s actually a fairly simple progression of seat types for different ages – from 0-2 most babies should be in a rear-facing car seat, from two to around four or five they should be in a front-facing restraint, and after that, they should stay in a booster seat until they’re 148cm tall. Read our full guide to car seats here Rear-facing restraints Rear-facing child restraints are the safest option for small babies and toddlers. Because small children have large heads in proportion to their body size, a crash in a forward-facing seat can cause devastating damage to the neck and spine – so try to keep your child rear-facing for as long as possible. Experts recommend facing your baby backwards until she’s at least two, so if she outgrows her seat before then, you could think about buying a rear-facing seat with a higher height or weight limit. You can choose to use a rear-facing capsule-style seat for your new-born, or go straight to a convertible seat that takes you from infant to pre-school – or further. Rear-facing tips: Buy or rent an appropriate seat well before your baby is born – hospitals won’t let you leave without a car seat for your newborn. Read the instructions carefully and install the seat correctly – many retailers will help with installation or check to make sure your seat is properly fitted. Put the car seat in the back seat of the car if possible – front seat airbags can be seriously dangerous to babies and small children. If your vehicle doesn’t have a back seat, a rear-facing seat can be installed in the front passenger seat – but ask your mechanic to deactivate the airbag or move the seat back as far as you can. Don’t let small babies sleep in their car seats if you’re not driving, as the upright position can cause breathing difficulties in some cases. Always use a seat that’s appropriate to the weight and height of your baby – if you start with a capsule, you’ll probably need to switch to another rear-facing seat when your child is around six months old. Forward-facing car seats When your child outgrows his rear-facing position, you need to turn his seat around. You can tell he’s ready for the switch when the top of his head reaches the top of the car seat or the marked height limit, or when your baby’s weight reaches the limit for your particular seat. Forward-facing tips: Install the seat properly – don’t forget to use the tether strap if the seat needs one. Put the car seat in the back seat of the car unless there’s absolutely no other option – front seat airbags can be seriously dangerous to babies and small children. Always secure your child in the seat correctly – straps should sit flat and tight, and the central clip should be pulled up to sit in the centre of the child’s chest. Booster seats Unlike car seats, boosters don’t have a harness to hold the child in place – they just lift her into the right position to use the car’s seat belt. Your child is ready for a booster when her eye level reaches the top of her car seat, or when she reaches the recommended weight for your model of the seat. If your child grows out of her seat and you still want the safety of a child restraint, you can look for a seat with a higher maximum weight. Children should use a booster until they’re tall enough to use the car’s safety belts on their own – the belt should cross over the shoulder, rather than the neck, their legs should bend over the edge of the seat while their back reaches the seat, and the lap belt should cross their pelvis and thighs. Most children can stop using a booster at around 12 – or 148cm tall. Booster tips: Look for a booster seat with a belt guide to help position the seat belt on your child’s shoulder, rather than close to the neck Only use a booster seat with a full seat belt – lap belts will not hold them safely. Keeping your babies safe It may sound like a lot to learn, but keeping your children safe in the car is pretty straightforward once you get started. Just remember – try to keep them rear-facing and in a five-point harness for as long as you can. And if you’re confused about choosing the right car seat or installing it properly, talk to our expert team – we’re always happy to help.

Car Seat Expiries - What You Need to Know
Car seats are one of the most important safety products you'll ever use for your child. Did you know they typically have a lifespan of 6 – 10 years, depending on the brand and model? While it might seem surprising that something so solid and well-built would have an expiry date, there are good reasons behind it. Why Do Car Seats Expire? Wear and Tear: Over time, materials like plastic can become brittle and weaken, especially after sitting in a hot vehicle exposed to harsh UV rays. Even if a seat looks fine on the outside, internal components may have deteriorated, and this could potentially compromise the seat's effectiveness. Changing Safety Standards: Car seat technology and safety regulations evolve. An expired seat may not meet the latest standards or be compatible with newer vehicle designs. Considering a Second-Hand Car Seat? If you're thinking about buying - or accepting - a second-hand car seat, checking the expiry date should be your first step. Additionally, it’s important to: Ensure it hasn’t been in a crash: Car seats involved in an accident may have hidden damage and should not be reused. Make sure all parts are included: Without the original manual and components, proper installation may not be possible. The seat must also have its original certification label to certify it complies with one of New Zealand’s approved safety standards - NZ/AU, ECE, or US displaying yellow S sticker. Learn more Where to Find Expiry Information The expiry will either be from Date of Manufacture or from Date of Purchase (with a receipt) – depending on the brand. To check your seat, check the car seat expiry list here. Car seats generally have a label or stamped date on the shell that indicates the date of manufacture. This example above shows the date embossed on the shell – Date of Manufacture 4 June 2022 In this example the date is found stamped on the harness clips - Date of Manufacture August 2023 In this case it’s a sticker – Date of Manufacture 18 July 2024 The Bottom Line Your child’s safety is too important to leave to chance. Always check a car seat’s expiry before use - especially if you’re considering a second-hand one. When in doubt, it’s best to invest in a new, up-to-date seat that meets all current safety standards.

Breastfeeding Challenges: Common Problems & How to Overcome Them
Breastfeeding Made Easier: Tips for Common Challenges Before your baby arrives, it's easy to imagine that breastfeeding will happen instinctively. While that can be true for some families, it's perfectly normal if it takes a little longer to find your rhythm. Many new mums experience challenges like sore nipples, engorgement, latch difficulties or concerns about milk supply in those first few weeks. If that sounds familiar, you're certainly not alone. At Dimples, one of the things we hear most often is, "I thought breastfeeding would just come naturally." The reality is that for many mums, it takes a little time, plenty of patience, and the right support. Thankfully, many breastfeeding challenges are only temporary, and with the right guidance they often become much easier to manage. If you decide to supplement or switch to formula, that's okay too. A fed baby and a supported mum are what matter most. But if breastfeeding is something you'd like to continue, know that many mums find things improve with time, patience and the right support. You've got this. Here’s a gentle guide to some of the common hurdles and how to help overcome them: 1. Engorged Breasts A few days after giving birth, you may notice your breasts suddenly feel hard, heavy, warm, and tender as your milk comes in. Although it can feel quite uncomfortable, this is a completely normal part of your body adjusting to your baby's feeding needs. The good news is that engorgement is usually temporary. As your milk supply begins to regulate and your baby establishes a regular feeding pattern, the fullness will often settle. What can help Feed your baby regularly, even if it's only for a short time. If your breasts are too full for your baby to latch comfortably, try hand expressing a small amount of milk first to soften the breast. A cold compress after feeds and gentle massage can also help relieve discomfort. 💛 A favourite with our team: Many mums find the Bare Mum Hot + Cold Breast Therapy Packs incredibly soothing. Warm them before feeding to help encourage milk flow, or chill them afterwards to reduce swelling and ease discomfort. And here's a little old-school wisdom that's been passed between mums for generations: chilled cabbage leaves tucked inside your bra between feeds have long been used to help soothe engorgement. It might sound unusual, but plenty of mums still swear by it! 2. Latch Issues A little tenderness during the first few days of breastfeeding is common, but ongoing or severe pain isn't something you should simply put up with. A painful feed is often a sign that your baby isn't latching deeply enough, making feeding uncomfortable for you and less effective for them. What can help Try encouraging your baby to open their mouth wide by gently brushing your nipple against their upper lip. Position them with their nose level with your nipple and bring your baby to your breast, rather than leaning towards them. A good latch usually means your baby's mouth is wide open, their chin is pressed into your breast, and your nipple sits comfortably towards the back of their mouth. If breastfeeding is still painful after the first week or two, or your baby continues to struggle with latching, it's worth reaching out to your midwife or a lactation consultant. Sometimes a simple adjustment, or identifying something like a tongue tie, can make all the difference. 3. Cracked or Bleeding Nipples Sore or cracked nipples are very common in the early weeks of breastfeeding. They can be caused by a shallow latch, frequent feeding while your skin adjusts to this new rhythm, or even overuse of your breast pump. What can help Applying a nourishing nipple balm after every feed can help soothe and protect the skin, while hydrogel pads can provide instant cooling relief for particularly sore nipples. One combination our team often recommends is Pure Mama Nipple Butter together with Silverette Cups. The nipple butter helps moisturise and soothe damaged skin, while the Silverette Cups protect sensitive nipples between feeds, allowing them to heal naturally. If your nipples aren't improving after several days, it's important to have your baby's latch assessed, as treating the cause is just as important as treating the symptoms. 4. Low Milk Supply Worrying about milk supply is incredibly common, especially during the first few weeks when your baby may seem to want to feed constantly. The reassuring news is that frequent feeding, cluster feeding and night waking are all normal behaviours and don't usually mean you're not producing enough milk. True low milk supply is less common, but if your baby isn't gaining weight well or has very few wet nappies, it's important to speak with your midwife, GP or lactation consultant. What can help If your healthcare provider is happy that everything is progressing normally but you'd like to naturally support your milk supply, try feeding frequently, pumping between feeds if appropriate, drinking plenty of water and eating a balanced diet. Many mums also enjoy adding lactation cookies or a lactation blend to their daily routine. While they're not a guaranteed way to increase milk supply, many mums enjoy them as part of their breastfeeding routine alongside regular feeding, good hydration and a balanced diet.

Inverted or Flat Nipples You may never have paid much attention to the shape of your nipples before breastfeeding, but flat or inverted nipples can sometimes make it more difficult for your baby to latch. The good news is that many mums with flat or inverted nipples go on to breastfeed successfully. What can help Speak with your midwife or a lactation consultant, who may recommend using a nipple shield or expressing a small amount of milk before feeding to gently draw the nipple out. 6. Blocked Ducts A blocked milk duct often feels like a tender lump beneath the skin and usually occurs when milk isn't draining effectively. This can happen if you've missed a feed, your bra is too tight, or your breast hasn't emptied fully. What can help Continue feeding regularly, particularly on the affected side, to help keep milk moving. Applying warmth before feeding and gently massaging the area towards the nipple can also help encourage the blockage to clear. Most blocked ducts resolve within a day or two but if you are experiencing alot of pain and unable to breastfeed, please see your GP. 7. Mastitis Sometimes a blocked duct can develop into mastitis, or bacteria can enter through cracked skin, leading to a breast infection. Mastitis often causes flu-like symptoms, including fever, chills and body aches, along with a painful, red area on the breast. What can help If you think you may have mastitis, it's important to see your GP promptly, as antibiotics are often needed. Although feeding may feel uncomfortable or sore, continuing to breastfeed or express milk can actually help speed up recovery by keeping the breast well drained. Warm or cool compresses between feeds may also provide some relief. 💛 Don't try to push through - Many mums think they can "tough it out", but mastitis really needs medical treatment. The sooner you seek help, the quicker you'll usually recover. You Are Not Alone - and You're Doing an Amazing Job If there's one thing we'd love every new mum to know, it's this: asking for help is a strength, not a weakness! For over 30 years, we've had the privilege of supporting hundreds of New Zealand families through pregnancy, newborn life and beyond, and we've learned that almost every breastfeeding journey is different, and has its own ups and downs. And if, despite your best efforts, breastfeeding doesn't work out the way you'd hoped, that's okay too. Whether you breastfeed, formula feed or combine the two, what matters most is that your baby is fed, loved and thriving. Be kind to yourself, trust your instincts, and don't be afraid to lean on your midwife, GP, lactation consultant or the people around you. Sometimes the right support is all it takes to help you find your confidence. ❤️ Shop our full range of breastfeeding support and essential items here
