can i purchase baby milk and nappys in the local shops?
Answer
Better to take milk and nappies with you. I can remember wasting a lot of time looking for somewhere to buy nappies. Nappies don't weigh much, and you can easily cut down on other stuff to make sure you have room for these two essential things. Make space for them. It will be worth it. Cut down on clothes instead. You can always wash some while you are there. Take a tube of travel wash with you. It's concentrated detergent. You only need a tiny bit to wash a sinkful of clothes. You can get travelwash designed to wash baby clothes too - it's kind to their skin. But if you can't find it, then a little baby shampoo works just as well for all but the most stubborn of stains.
We have had holidays backpacking with our children - one with our first child at the age of 4 months and some more as they grew older. Each time we travelled with the bare minimum of luggage, but travel wash and my boobs (in your case formula) are two things we always took. For holidays like that we started out with just enough nappies to get started and bought more as we went along, but that was a necessity because we were always moving around. It wasn't always easy to find nappies.
But during a package holiday, when we could have taken enough for the whole holiday, we ran out, and, as I said in the first line, spent a lot of time looking before we found any. That was in Majorca. It's best to take enough to last the whole time and then it's not a problem. Have a good holiday.

Peg Perego? Has anyone tried or know the difference (aside from price) between a peg and graco stroller?
bunny
I was sold on getting a graco travel system but my friend insists a peg perego one is worth it. Just want to know what you think, it just seems like its way too much money (but then again, it might be really good)! Money i may spend on other baby stuff. What strollers do you recommend and why?
Thanks everyone!!!
Answer
Hey Bunny! The Graco is nice. The Peg Perego is also very nice. Kind of similar to buying cars, ie a Toyota vs a Lexus. (Sort of). I think that the best advice I could give you is to think about when/where you will use it. I live in the sticks, and primarily use mine for the Mall, brief walks, as well as special outdoor events. Other than that, we used to carry (sling, backpack, etc). My son is 2 now, and I can hardly keep him in it. My daughter who is 7 would still ride if we let her (LOL).
I found that investing in a stroller that isn't gi-normous, but has the durability of a larger stroller was key for me and my needs.
Basically I went on the hunt for a really "suped up" umbrella stroller. I found the Combi and although it's exactly what I was looking for, it did have some limitations: I had to buy an extra cup holder, it wasn't meant for teeny tiny infants (again I wore mine), and the basket underneath is too small to my liking. Mine was easier to schlepp in and out of the car with a baby in arm, etc. Plus my car didn't have the storage space for a stroller system.
Now if you live in the city and plan on using it everyday, all the time, definitely invest in a sturdier, bigger model. Especially if you plan on walking with the baby in the stroller a lot.
Try and pick a model that will grow with you child, so you don't have to buy another one later.
I will say that I LOVED the Snugride carseat (even though we used it for only 4 months) it was a lifesaver when my son had GERD, and he used to sleep well in it!
BTW, if you can still find them, Britax made carseats for Fisher Price at a fraction of the sticker price. (I last saw it on Albeebaby.com, you may only find them in secondary markets now- such as ebay and amazon)
Good luck...
