Parenting can be hard! In the first few weeks of their life, babies often struggle with tummy ache. You can help prevent this with a relaxing tummy massage, applying this calming oil in circular movements.
My tip as a midwife is to warm up the nurturing oil in the palms of your hands and work it in using clockwise motions.
Relaxes and calms: Nurturing rice bran oil and sesame oil, plus essential oils from star anise, coriander and cardamom support the soothing tummy massage.
Once the umbilical cord stump has fallen off and baby’s belly button has healed, it’s finally time for the first bath. From then on, twice a week, baby’s skin can benefit from water heated to 37ºC and 2–3 squirts of this mild, nurturing bath oil. Happy splashing in the tub!
My tip as a midwife is that your baby will usually feel tired after a bath, so evenings are the best time for it.
Cleans and relaxes: This mild, replenishing bath oil gently cleans and cares for baby’s skin. With rice bran oil and chamomile flower extract, it maintains the natural moisture level.
In the first few years of life, the sensitive skin of your child’s bottom is often covered by a nappy, which prevents the circulation of fresh air. This nappy cream both cares for the skin and protects it against moisture. It has a preventive effect against redness and inflammation, especially during the night when the nappy is changed less often.
My tip as a midwife is to wash baby’s bottom with warm water between changes and treat it to an air bath.
Protects and soothes: This nappy barrier cream with the DEFENSIL®-PLUS formula nurtures and soothes baby’s delicate skin and protects it against redness and soreness.
Baby’s delicate skin needs extra care in the cold winter months as it is yet to develop the natural layer of sebum that protects it against cold, wet and windy weather. That’s where our cold and windy weather cream comes in, containing substances that nurture the skin while also stopping it from drying out.
My tip as a midwife is to apply the cold and windy weather cream 30 minutes before any outdoor activities, for optimal protection. In strong sunlight, use a product with a sun protection factor.
Protects and nurtures: This nurturing cream is easy to smooth in. Thanks to the well tolerated oils and extract of sea buckthorn berry, it protects baby’s skin even if the weather is rainy, cold and wet.
I often say that every touch makes your baby a little smarter. And certainly happier. That’s because physically touching babies creates new synaptic connections in their brain and shows them that they are safe and loved. When you treat yourself and your child to plenty of physical contact and massages, our great body butter is a real help.
My tip as a midwife is to warm the body butter in your hands first,then massage it in using the Indian baby massage technique.
Nurtures and relaxes: This rich body butter with the DEFENSIL®-PLUS formula even moisturises skin that is prone to neurodermatitis, soothing it and strengthening its natural protective function.
Our TUJU Nappy Bag contains two of our full-sized SOS products for both you and your baby for the time after giving birth: the Nipple Balm helps for your big OUCH! Because nature has set up breastfeeding wonderfully – but has failed to deliver relief for nipples. But we do! Our Nipple Balm soothes and cools. It cares for dry and sensitive nipples.
Our Nappy Barrier Cream helps your baby when its bottom suddenly becomes red. The cream soothes the soreness, fosters the regeneration of the skin and prevents redness. Featuring zinc oxide, camomile flower extract, bisabolol, Defensil® Plus (complex of the active ingredients black current seed oil, balloon vine / heartseed, and sunflower seed oil concentrate), avocado and sesame seed oil.
What’s more, each of our products features a QR code which you can scan to gain additional helpful tips from our TUJU midwife Kerstin Lüking.
We’ve also added some samples to the Nappy Bag for trying out additional products. As well as a flyer from our friend, the paediatrician, who dedicates her courses to the topic of first aid for babies and children. Find more information at www.TUJU.care

We’re proud of this feedback:
"The world needs TUJU. It is a lovingly made series of natural cosmetic products which support women safely during their pregnancy and are just as mild and protective later on during your time with your baby. I recommend it from the heart to all my pregnant patients. Today, TUJU is also a member of my family! The Cold and Windy Weather Cream gave my daughter great support through autumn and winter. I love the Feel-good Body Lotion and the Relaxation Shower Cream. And for my face, I regularly use the gentle Face Cleansing Gel."
"Fully convinced, I warmly recommend TUJU to all mums who wish to have mindful and sustainable care during this very special time in the life of both their baby and themselves. Each individual product has been made with a love to detail to cater to the needs of mums and kids, and they contain not only the highest-quality ingredients but also invaluable midwife knowledge from Kerstin Lüking. In short: TUJU is a wonderful chance to really do something good for you and your baby. "
"The line is well-conceived. You notice in the design of the packaging and in the formulation of the information that the people behind the products holistically consider the mother–child unit and place this in the absolute forefront of their work "
"It looks great – totally lovingly designed in high quality and attractively. The care butter is perfect for my daughter’s neurodermitis-plagued skin. "
"I’m amazed ☀️🍀❤️ and love the wonderful products from TUJU on my skin. No additives, with an aroma of holidays and relaxation, and the products feel so unbelievably soft, like a second skin. My kids and I are really amazed. Many thanks, dear TUJU team 🙏🏾"
"With the products from TUJU, you feel that lots of love and work have been put into them. From the lovely packaging to the contents, the products are made for mums and kids. The high-quality, natural cosmetics are good for us. "
"TUJU … two words written as children would say them and enchant you. Just one look at the design of the packaging, and you are taken on the exciting journey of parenthood. For us as mums, it’s very important that products are of a high quality and mothers and babies are not enwrapped too much in the fragrance. Here is where Kerstin has created just the right note with TUJU. "
"I’m so moved and had goose pimples when I unpacked your new care series. […] I would first like to thank you from the bottom of my heart and can’t believe how beautiful this series is. Now, as a mum myself, I can appreciate every single product and would like to congratulate you with all my heart 🎉🎉🎉. So much love in the content, design, packaging and background/stories. UNBELIEVABLE!!"
"I love the TUJU natural cosmetics range: reduced to the essentials and down to earth, based on the solid knowledge of the power of nature. With 2 kids and a full-time job, I don’t have much time left over for me, but I treat myself to the Relaxation Shower Cream and the Feel-good Body Lotion every morning! At the same time, I know that I can rely 100 per cent on the eco-friendly development and manufacturing of the products, which is important to me!"
"For us parents, sustainability is an extremely important topic, as we want to leave behind an ecologically healthy world for our children. The people behind TUJU have thought a lot about this topic and offer wonderful certified and sustainably produced and packaged natural cosmetics, which are perfectly in harmony with the needs of mums and kids. The infotainment programme developed specially for TUJU is where you can find exciting stories centred round parenthood and answers to the most important questions about being a parent. My opinion on this: simply great. "
Being a parent is like a grab bag, isn’t it? Every day is different. What works great today sometimes suddenly doesn’t work at all tomorrow. We doubt and ask ourselves: are we really doing everything right? What exactly is helping us now? What can we do when we have a tummy ache? How can we help our baby when it cries? And how do we still take care of ourselves – is that even possible? Starting today, I am here for you. As a midwife and mother of seven, I know exactly how you feel. In 27 years as a mother and 22 as a midwife, I have found many solutions that I would like to share with you. So that you can enjoy being a relaxed parent!
Your Kerstin
