The Waitrose Baby bottom butter that we've all been slathering on our faces has now made the news!!

[Moomin]

here

(Apols for it being the DM!)

And they've just covered the story in the news roundup on the BBC!!

ooh good lord now it'll never be available

and yes, LOL at the notion that if you have a baby you must be young and have good skin
erm, no

I'll have a look but probably the p and p will cost as much!

I keep looking but am on an economy drive at the moment and am only shopping in lidl! I used to vary btw the 2 to even things out.

LOL!!!dp brought this story to my attention this morning and I immediately said "Sounds like mumsnet!!!"

is it really that much better than say, Dr Hanschuka Rose Creme?

that stuff is brilliant and much more readily available.

a little goes a loooonnngg way, too.

I have been looking for months and it's never in stock. There must be MNetters than I thought in my town
If anyone fancies sending me some up, I'll gladly pay P+P....

"i blame dh for my dry skin. its a mix of preg hormones and the fact he bought the wrong soap powder"

how much do you LOVE saying things like that Misdee? makes me smile everytime!

I have Dr Hauschka Rose Cream expat, and baby bottom butter is better (try saying that fast ). I have very dry skin though. Also I would be able to apply the Rose cream in the morning and not look to greasy, but I can only apply the bottom butter at night.

aha! thanks for explaining the difference.

right now, i have an oily tzone, but dry cheeks, so have been using Rose Cream only on cheeks and eyelids.

but like misdee, my legs are super dry just now.

been using Body Shop Body Butter for now, but needing something a bit stronger.

Aha - I saw the thread recommending it and I had seen it in Waitrose before. Can I find it now? No, it must be all sold out.

Oooh I have had some of this in the cupboard for about a year(thought it was crap for intended use).

Now will get it out and try it on me!

Oh, it gets better - anybody done a search for 'Bottom Butter' on e-bay? £12 etc. Start selling, ladies!

there is nothing mystical about olive oil being a great moisturiser for your skin - buy a big bottle from your local chemist (far cheaper than oil marketed for cooking) , mix in a few drops of lavender and cammomile essential oils et voila!!

This is so funny .... just hope my half used pot lasts for ages now then there will be more stock next time I go !

at the younger mum thing ....

OK, just to clarify - John Lewis sells Waitrose's Baby Bottom Butter? How is this possible?

Same company

They had three shelves full of the stuff at Waitrose in Barbican on Thursday. I bought a tub to give it a go, decided I liked it (the smell, it's gorgeous) went back next day to get another. Nothing. All gone. No doubt they'll never have any in stock again.

I went into Waitrose near mil's and there was a notice on the shelf saying "due to huge and unprecedented media coverage, we may well be out of stock of Baby Bottom Butter. We hope to get more in, but it will no doubt sell out again very quickly. Sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment this may cause"

I am yet to try it, but live in hope.
I did however manage to get some of the Aldi cream at £1.89 which unfortunately brought me out in zits

waitrose in the brunswick centre had loads yesterday posey. i was dithering but didn't get some in the end. will get it next time though!

Hi HC! Hope you are well.
Sounds like there may be more stocks coming in. I'm more likely to get to the Holloway one, but at the moment don't seem to have any spare time. I really ought to rememeber how bloomin busy June is

hi posey . dd & i go to coram a lot, & the brunswick centre is so nice nowadays . though i wasn't too sure about yesterday's mn-esque bunting!

waitroseispart of john lewis group, or sommat.

still no baby bottom butter, in my local,
will feel embarrassed when and if i eventually buy it, i have no baby, and they might assume i read the dm

The John Lewis foodhall on Oxford Street had some pots of BBB yesterday afternoon.

I've only just heard of the stuff! Have been using tubs of Shea butter which cost less than a tenner and last for about 6 months. Maybe time for a change?

It's true! Baby products really seem to do the job. I've been slathering Boo Boo Magic Balm on my dry hands for a couple of days and it's got rid of all the cracks! I wash my hands too much I think!
