Ashton & Parsons powders -- HELP!

19 replies

BEAUTlFUL · 01/03/2009 00:07

Does anybody live near a chemist that stocks Ashton & Parsons powders? Where I live, they are sold out everywhere and have been for months.

If you live near a stockist, could I please pay you to buy several packets for me and send them over? I have PayPal. I'm DESPERATE!!

Thanks so much in advance.

They were out of stock her for a while but a back now. Have you asked your chemist to check? I need to get some so I could get you some tomorrow if you want? Where in the country are you? I'm in Kent and A&P are everywhere!

Oooh, that'd be fab. I'm in Surrey. They've been out of stock here since November. DS2 is now cutting his molars and I only have 2 sachets left. They're the only thing that works on him.

If you could send some, you'd be saving our lives! Do you have PayPal? If you could get me 3 packets, that should keep us going until they reappear here.

They're about £2.90 each, aren't they? if you CAT me your PayPal details, I can send you the money.

No worries and DH has paypal. I'm going to Boots tomorrow my email is michelle_emma @ hotmail dot com. I'll be back on here tomorrow (I am addicted!) and I'll post to let you know I've got them. Bloody well hope they haven't sold out here!

I heard that they'd stopped making them. Something about the lactose in them I think.

Marthasmama · 01/03/2009 08:26

They were out of stock for ages and only came back a month or so ago. I think you might be right about the lactose though Everso. My DD doesn't have lactose problems so she's fine with them.

Marthasmama · 01/03/2009 12:46

Bad bad news. Boots were out of stock. But fear not (well not yet anyway) I will go to the chemists tomorrow and see if they have them. If they don't I can ask why. My DD loves them and opens her mouth for them now. I hope they've got some....

You can order them online

Marthasmama · 01/03/2009 12:59

I LOVE you AA.

Glad to be of help - I nearly threw them out a few weeks ago, but never got round to it!!!

BettySwollux · 04/03/2009 21:37

Have you tried homeopathic teething powders? By Nelsons or boots own brand. All I use for DS2 (mind Ive not tried A&P) but I think theyre fab.

ShellyS · 04/03/2009 22:52

I bought some yesterday for DD in Boots in Coulsdon. Did you still need some???

They seemed to have quite alot in stock from memory.

ShellyS · 04/03/2009 22:52

Sorry, that's Coulsdon in Surrey
