DM or Schlecker are probably your best bet for bibs and baby food... I think DM even do a raincover. Or check out Baby Walz

Hi

Just posted you a message on the German thread but will give the info here too incase you don't check back.

DM are fab if you get a good one - cheapest place for nappies.

Schlecker - buy food in bulk, easier and cheaper, dont shlap up there - shop online here-

For all the "other stuff", bibs etc - [[www.baby-markt.de baby markt] are the cheapest and don't charge delivery on orders over 20Eur, but the range is not always so good. Another good one is babybutt.

Happy shopping.

Eyuew - wet wipes with oil? That's a new one. What does it say on the packet - maybe I can translate /work out what they are meant for.

Wet wipes are something like feuchtentucher - you should be able to get pampers and Johnson & Johnson ones (called Panaten here).

But most of my German friends (and me included now) just buy the big square cotton wool pads from DM and use boiled water - much kinder to bottoms if they poo a lot (sorry if TMI).

Give me a shout if you need help with anything else.
