Hi all
Gingeme - they do sell Huggies for definite in Spain - it should be the same in Teneriffe. There's a brand called Dodot which occupies the same kind of space in the market as Pampers and I have wondered if they are the same. I use the supermarket brand though (Carrefour) ad they are cheap. The other brands are about twice the price they are in the UK (and you can say that about EVERYTHING for kids in Spain so bring bibs, suncream, toys, Calpol, clothing - don't think for a moment 'oh, I'm sure I'll find something lovely there' when you leave because if you do find something lovely, you won't be able to afford it!)
Barristermum - now there's a hole in DH's attitude that you could drive a whole van of Pampers through! Go forth and procreate!
Lilyloo- sorry you had a rubbish day. No idea about the blotches. My wild guesses would be a) she's pinching or scratching herself b) (although I thnk this is much less likely) an allergic reaction. and no YANBU!
MM - How are you and DH now? Is he still behaving in his withdrawn way? I hope not. I hope he gives you a good cuddle.
Thanks guys. You have strengthened my resolve on the shoe front. Definitely no supermarket shoes and no shoes until she is walking. This is exactly what I thought but wanted to check I was not being precious and had got the advice right. Sabela has only very seldom donned a baby bootee (and then those don't stay on for long)!
News on the Spanish pram, which she still hates. She hates it so much that she is determined to lie in it in the most uncomfortable position possible, with her bum half off the end of the seat and then kicks and kicks until the pretty white cushion gets caught on the top of the wheels and covered in mud. Especial today as it was raining and I worked out what she was doing!
I think I am raising a little resistance fighter!
