    how about tesco saving stamps. tesco nappies are the best imho although i did use pampers nb. you can earn points in milk if you change to stage 3 milk at 6 m and it is loads cheaper..........

    hi Jellyhead, yes boots do offer advanatage points for follow on milk. i started using aptamil forward at 26 wks. It has the sa,me nutritional content as hungry baby milk with extra iron but some of the others might be different, i'm not sure. it is much cheaper ie aptamil 1 and 2 are £6.99 whereas aptamil 3 is £5.57! & points you can't complain!! HTH Vicky

    This brought back embarassing memories of when we had DS2..We were on the verge of getting reposessed so were all packed ready to go when I had him BUT they started doing unisex nappies again (when we had 1st son they were boy or girl),anyway kwiksave were doing a vacuum pack 3 for the price of 2 on huggies soooo when we moved out we moved with.. 6 triple packs of newborn,20 triple packs of first size,20 triple packs next size up and 30 of the toddler size :eek: Over the coming years it saved me a fortune but it was a little bit awkward to store them all :rotfl: and the looks we got when we moved in to temporary housing were 'interesting'

    It's best not to buy any milk as you can breastfeed for no cost at all.
    The best nappies I used were terry nappies and I saved a fortune. Hardly had any leaks either;)
