    Oh, it's £19 indoor skydiving. The site has a referral link which I'm not giving you because it would be against the rules but the referrer gets £6.

    Sami got in first. Childrens medicine isle in boots. Tesco/Asda etc should have them. My local pharmacy keeps them too. Possibly you have to ask, I know we couldn't find them in boots, it was DH who asked.

    It's A&P we use and I've always used them. They settle the tummy and can help keep the pH balance in check (diareah is very acidic, nappy rash is caused by urine reacting with faeces to create an acidic enviroment on the bummy) which is why I think hey work. But as I said, if he is old enough and not allergic to anything, then they won't do harm and may help.

    I have till 3/4pm child free so I'm off to clean the house. I sat and watched Fringe and had relaxing time :D

    I think they contain lactose tho so bear that in mind if he is suspected if being intolerant

    I think nelsons teetha granules are the same thing in case you find those instead. ETA - unless its just the common / latin names they're different http://www.boots.com/en/Nelsons-Teetha-24-sachets_2211/

    We went into H&B and asked for ashton and parsons and they gave us the teetha granules by nelson. we didnt know any better so bought them but after looking on boots website they are alot more expensive! Haven't needed to use them yet, but I suppose if they work thats the most important thing.

    Susan - thanks for the link,am currently comparing prices while watching T eat, tis a minefield to the uneducated, and arrgghh at having to guess the worth of our contents.
