If you are prepared to wait a few days, then there are several websites from which you could order a personalised gift e.g. a comforter with an emboridered message such as 'for my new baby sister..., love .... x Good luck!

Or train to London Bridge (12min), then another train London Bridge to Charing X (7 mins) and walk (or tube/bus) to Ox Circus via Regeant St. The overground stations have step free access and there are frequent trains to Charing X. The journeys are do-able with sling or buggy as long as it's not rush hour! The suggested route of London Bridge-Bond St via Jubilee line is also fast but definitely avoid rush hour at all costs. I haven't braved the underground with a baby, as the thought of the tube stopping in a tunnel, baby screaming and a packed carriage is too much to bear! The 12, although direct, takes AGES through Peckham and AGES from Trafalger Sq-Ox Circus regardless of whether it's rush hour or not.

Oops, sorry, just seen Molly has posted something similar already!

JessM - urine is sterile (obviously, not if there is a urine infection!), so I wouldn't worry about using extra detergent to in such cases.

I have no experience of napisan so I can't compare but I used a vanish stick, as we just happened to have one lying around. You moisten the stain and rub vanish into it and then put it (the soiled item of clothing, not the vanish stick) in the wash with the rest of the load. You don't have to do it straight away - dried in stains (yes, gross) have come out completely. I haven't even got through half stick in 6 months!

I Feel You - Depeche Mode

An eye patch is sometimes used to cover the 'stronger' eye and allow the 'weaker' eye to strengthen. This option is in some ways easier on young children, as they won't be aware that they have a patch and other children don't. Equally, it can be difficult to stop them taking it off! Obviously, whether this is an option will depend upon the nature/severity of the strabismus.

Friends clubbed together and bought my daughter one of these. She loves it and, therefore, we love it! She has sat in it every day since birth and it has recently come into its own, as she loves to kick so the the bouncer bounces vigourously and she will sit it in for ages pondering life etc! The pros (from our point of view) are: - It's suitable from birth until about 2y (as with all baby stuff it's weight dependent) - it's aesthetically pleasing - no bells or whistles to drive us mad - no batteries to constantly replace - very easy to clean - folds nice and flat so it's easy to sling in the car boot when going visiting/staying away - easy to move around the home so our baby can be with us if in the kitchen, shpwer etc (but this is probably true of most bouncers) The cons - price - as above, try and get a second hand one or, even better still, borrow from someone - the toy bar doesn't come with it and at ?20+ is not cheap I hope whatever you decide your baby loves it and it's money well spent - that's the challenge when it comes to all the baby paraphernalia out there!

Se7en...'What's in the box? What's in the god damn box?'

Similar to jennyh. We have the angelcare system and find it very useful - it keeps the smells locked in (even if we left the lid open for several hours) and saves emptying out the bin several times a week (or even day, depending on how old your baby is and how frequently they poo). Our doesn't smell at all when we empty it but I don't know if that's to do with the type of bin or our baby's poo (although the latter can be pretty stinky)! By no means a must have but very useful if you live in a flat or if it's pain to get to your wheelie bin on a regular basis.
