    Right, I am back home from my baby nappy&wipes shopping adventure.

    So, I visited 3 different Asdas, one of them twice, Tesco, Boots, Sainsbury's. Ok, it is not that bad, as one of the Asdas was on the way home from work, and had no starter packs! Stopped at the one near home, got 4 packs for £2 using Asda baby club coupons. Got home, cut out the vouchers and went out again. Next Asda, Boots and Tesco were all in the same place, so got Nature nappies, 5 Huggies packs - all I could find in store!, and then wipes and free pack of size 1 Huggies nappies. Wanted to stop at Sainsbury's to get Dettol stuff with vouchers, only got the handwash, they had no surface spray, so stopped at the Asda next to home again and got the last 2 starter packs they had! Don't call me greedy, I am just MSE!

    So, in total, for £27.18 I got:
    - 11 Huggies starter packs
    - 1 pack Huggies size 1
    - 3 packs Nature Babycare nappies size 2
    - 18 packs of Huggies pure wipes

    I know, I could have bought size 1 of Nature nappies, and would have saved over £8, but I thought I will be able to stock up on size 1 with Huggies, so wanted to get some size 2 for reserve. I think I want to get at least 500 size 1 nappies, as twins won't be born big, and 500 nappies will only last a month to 6 weeks, I expect. It is unlikely that we will be 4kg+ by then anyway!

  • Gin. Where did you get the Nature nappies?

    Nowhere round here seems to stock them.

    I read to have some salty food, on one of the forums a lady was advised to eat two packs of crisps a day. Also, drink more water. It is not guaranteed to help. I had mine down to 85/55, it seems to be better now, fingers crossed!

    I found them in Boots, they had various sizes. And then I went to big Tesco with big baby department, and the had them as well, a bit cheaper than Boots as well!
