    The New Baby Size 3 £9 boz has 76 in (have got one here) :)

    I was looking at the Size 3's in the next size up (i.e. not New Baby) cos there was 144 in there for £3 extra. I was texting Sami for nappy advice whilst in ASDA!!

    SS - OH? Cook?! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I can't be arsed to argue with him about it - won't change anything!

    Weezl - :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Incidentially, how do you get baby from the car into a trolley if the trolleys are in front of the store? Today, I left OH unstrapping Rhys whilst I went to fetch the trolley, but how do you do it on your own? :o (I'm terrible at working out the logistics of these things!)

    ETA: :doh: Suppose you could just carry baby to the trolley... :o
    just to add in most of my local supermarches their's usually loads of abandoned baby trollys around the baby spaces :cool: but not sainsbury's where they keep them locked up inside and you have to ask at customer services to get one :confused:

    Krystal, there are 104 Size 3's in a Pampers Baby Dry £12 box :) (although currently 2 for £18)
    (can just about see it on the leaflet from the Bounty bag - there's a £1 off Active Fit or Baby Dry voucher in there)
    the £12 boxes are called MEGA packs, 2 for £18 are JUMBO ;)

    So "medium" is renamed JUMBO? God, it's like the marketing for condoms.

    Would you like SUPER MASSIVE or HUMONGOUS?

    right - going to cook cos otherwise I'll miss X factor! :rolleyes:

    Depending on 'Guzzler Boy' I might be back on later for some late night chat although am hoping he wakes at 10pm for next feed so I can go to bed cos staying up until 2am would be pushing it for me!

    Weezl's lentil puree for babies recipe:

    100g red lentils
    40g vegetable/olive oil
    scant teaspoon garam masala (check this has no salt-usually doesn't!)
    Water as required (at least a pint I'd say)

    add lentils oil and spice to large saucepan and add water to 1 inch above lentils. Boil for approx 30-35 mins untill lentils have mostly collapsed into a soupy consistency, add more water as it gets absorbed. Aim for a texture wetter than your baby's normal food since lentils are more solid when cooled.

    pour into 8 little food storage containers or several ice cube trays. Freeze. :)

    I know 40g of oil seems a lot, but lentils alone are too low fat and high fibre for a baby diet so it needs fattening up :)

    HTH someone...

    Love Weezl xxx
