Drum roll, please.

The results for the Boots Maternity and Infant Family Awards are in, ladies and gentlemen. The finalists for the Awards were announced last October and, since then, all of you have been voting for your favourite bits when it comes to all things maternity or baby-focused.

As well as your online votes, over 200 judges nationwide have also been giving their input and it’s finally over – the decisions have been made. And up first, we have the winners of the Best Health Product Awards.

Best baby/toddler supplementsBabyVitD3 Drops 

As you can probably guess from the name, these are vitamin D3 drops for your growing baby or toddler. Vitamin D3 supports the normal growth and development of bone in babies, so it’s super important to make sure your little one gets their daily dose. Just two drops of BabyVitD3 will give your kiddo 5μg of Vitamin D3 – give them those two drops every day and they’ll be rearing to go.

Best in FertilityBud Fertility Formulas, Male & Female

If you and your partner are trying for a baby, you want to give yourselves the best chance possible. These natural fertility supplements contain adaptogens, minerals and vitamins, and they’re proven to support vital aspects of reproductive health and function.

Best Pregnancy SupplementPregnacare Plus

Pregnancy is one of the most important times to make sure you’re getting all your vitamins in. After all, you are growing a little human (or two or three) inside of you. This Pregnacare Plus Dual Pack includes a multivitamin tablet, which gives you all the essential nutrients, such as the recommended 400mcg folic acid and 10mcg vitamin D, and it also includes an Omega-3 capsule to provide a rich source of DHA, which contributes to normal brain or eye development in the foetus. Perfect for keeping Mummy and Baby healthy!

Best Baby Health ProductBoots Non-Contact Thermometer

Here we have an absolute essential for any parent-to-be out there. A thermometer should be one of the first things you buy when preparing for your new baby – trust us, you’ll be using it a lot. If you pick up the Boots Non-Contact Thermometer, though, it’s the only thermometer you’ll need to buy. Because there’s no need to touch whatever you’re measuring, you can use it on pretty much anything – measure Baby’s temperature while they’re asleep, test their bottle before feeding time, check the bath water, or just find out the temperature of the room. How handy!

Pregnancy and parenthood should be a happy time, as healthy and free from illness as possible, so you’ll definitely want to keep your mind on these winners. Make sure to look after yourself and your new arrival.
