Online grocery shopping for baby goods, organic cleaning products, pregnancy cravings and everything in between has gotten a whole lot easier for families (Plus: a $15 off promo code!)
Are you pregnant, mama? Or in the throes of new motherhood? Either way, congratulations! You’re at the start of an incomparably wonderful journey and we’re so happy to share its [many] ups and downs with you!
It’s no secret that bringing up a baby is hard work – we’re sure you’ve gotten plenty of tips about the best strollers and car seats, and warnings about sleepless nights and dirty diapers. But there comes a point where every mama realizes that pretty much nothing could fully prepare her for the rollercoaster that is parenthood.
Whether it’s the moment when you’re doing your third load of laundry for the day (baby spit-up is serious business!), or you can’t remember the last time you took a shower, or you suddenly realize with horror that you forgot to pick up more diapers during your last grocery run, just know that we’ve all been there, mama, and this fog of exhaustion will pass.
In the meantime, our best advice is to have a support system. Whether it’s your partner, your helper, your mother-in-law, a WhatsApp group of fellow mamas, or a gym buddy, it’s so important to have people who’ve got your back.
And it’s not just friends: the folks at FairPrice On are all about making life easier for new parents.

Pregnancy cravings are no joke, mama! And ice cream is among the most popular, with about 50% of women screaming for the good stuff (it’s probably due to a need for a calcium boost). Our money’s on the Tesco Finest range, which comes in luxe flavours like Madagascar Vanilla and Salted Caramel. Yum!
We bet you’ve done your research and read all the pregnancy books, which means you know that fish is basically a must-eat due to its high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids, which are a major brain booster for bubs. Of course because nothing is easy, you’ve also got to avoid lots of seafood because it’s high in mercury. Anchovies have some of the highest DHA levels and are among the lowest in mercury because they’re small (as compared to, say, salmon) – making them the perfect nutrition sweet spot for mamas-to-be!
You are going to experience messes like you have never seen before, mama. On baby, on you, and definitely all over baby’s clothes. You’re also going to be super paranoid about germs, and wanting to keep your hands clean whenever you leave the house. We suggest stocking baby wipes everywhere: in your purse, in your car, in the diaper bag (of course), in the nursery, in the kitchen bathroom, under the couch. And because you’ll be using so many, it’s good to be as environmentally friendly (not to mention gentle on baby’s bum by being chemical-free) as possible.
The moment baby is placed in your arms, you’ll be amazed at the fiercely protective instincts that kick in. That includes – but is certainly not limited to – being extra mindful of what touches your baby’s oh-so soft skin. We love that FairPrice On not only has a wide range of different baby laundry detergents (as well as many green options), but also that they clearly display country of origin and let you read the back label of every bottle for ingredients – just like being the aisle of the grocery store! Because (spoiler alert!) you’re gonna be doing a lot of laundry, mama.
Here’s a pro tip: Don’t stock up on too many newborn diapers before giving birth because many babies grow out of them within a couple weeks. Which is precisely why it’s great to be able to order the next size up with the click of a button! Then once bubs is safely in the middle of target weight range, by all means take advantage of those fab bundle offers.
We know mamas are super mindful about what they eat during pregnancy, but once you’re actually holding baby in your arms and looking into those tiny eyes, the reality of you are what you eat (or in this case, your baby’s breast milk is what you eat) truly sets in. Leafy greans are fab for nursing mamas (and indeed are part of any healthy diet); FairPrice has an impressive range of organic veggies that’s also refreshingly affordable, with the crucial country of origin always prominently displayed so you can make informed choices for your family.
Say what? Bear with us mama. Oats and flaxseed meal are key galactagogue ingredients in lactation cookies, which are, in our humble opinion, one of the highlights of breastfeeding, as they’re a fabulous way to increase milk supply. Don’t for one second feel guilty indulging with this deliciousness, mama; for one thing, these ingredients are actually quite healthy! For another, breastfeeding burns calories like nobody’s business, particularly during those newborn marathon feeding sessions. You’ve earned it! And the cookies are actually super simple to make with this, our favorite recipe. We love that FairPrice On carries these sometimes hard-to-find ingredients from high-quality brands like Origins Organic and Bob’s Red Mill.
Whether your baby’s a boy or girl, we can guarantee you will become well acquainted with this beloved and high-quality brand that seems to have cornered the market on backpacks, cute water bottles and feeding accessories. The first time your toddler loses a water bottle at the playground or preschool, you’ll be relieved you can order a replacement with the click of a button, mama!
