SELLER needed who can find me a DISCONTINUED toothpaste i need for my AUTISTIC son!!!!

[MsF]

Am told it is on sale in places like poundland & poundstretcher etc...but have not got one near me!

Its COLGATE SMILES 0-2yrs in a YELLOW box.

I gather it's approx a £1 a tube...and if so i'd buy as many as i could!!! I'd pay your ebay fees/postage costs and a bit extra for helping me......

I use paypal....so easy transaction!

PLEASE.... CAN U HELP!!!!!

Sorry just got a message from dh to say there are none of these pastes left in the staff shop
He did ask what is so special about this particular one and is happy to send you samples of the other pastes they do accordingly. Bless he has even been in contact with the 'scientific affairs manager' to see if there are any special needs for an autistic child to have specific toothpaste needs. The answer of course was no BUT that its probably more important to ensure they have the correct fluoride etc as a trip to the dentist may be traumatic for an autistic child.

Dh says if the reason your ds likes the 0-2 Smiles is because of taste, the 2-6 years Smiles tastes very similar. If its because others are too minty you could try the Toms of Maine Strawberry toothpaste. If its for the packaging unfortunately he can't really help more.

He says if you let him know your/ds's requirements he would love to try to help.....

If any of this helps I will email you his work email.......

Sorry to not help more

thanks for such a fab reply...thank your dh for me!

Have 'researched' the differences between the ingredient list for the 0-2 and the 2-6..... and as far as ingredients go... the 2-6 just has 1 additional ingredient....CI 77891 which i assume is either colour or flavour....that's assuming all the ingredientts are in the same quantities!!!!

so....this 'could' be a case of my son 'thinking' the 0-2 is different in taste...but it is just the yellow packaging or the colour of the paste itself!!!!

however....if 2-6 is even slightly different tasting....then he will detect that.

if the taste is the same...i could probaby eventually switch him! The packaging isn't so important...he does tolerate manufacturers changing packaging!!!

Is there anyone i could contact at colgate to save you and your DH being the 'piggies in the middle'.... i appreciate all you've done...but appreciate you also have a life!!!!!!

I'm so glad you joined mumsnet...i've been here for 6 years!

What a lovely reply too. Only discovered mumsnet this year and I'm also glad I did! Will email you lateral you can contact dh direct. He's very happy to try to help if he can!
