Re: Babyjogger City Mini. I have taken it on buses which was certainly straightforward when the number 12 was still in existence! I tended to use the back door on 'normal' buses. It does fit through most shop/ cafe doorways though, steers well and folds easily.

Can anyone recommend a French class for three year olds? I've seen a couple advertised but wondered if you had any recommendations!

Goats milk formula is great and worked for my twins who struggled with cows milk formula. It's a bit pricey but if you can manage combined feeding it's manageable!

Franklins stocks unpasteurised goats milk.

Check out a-gites.com and anjou-resa.com for good value gites, chambres d'hotes and chateaux in the Loire region.

The wheel has fallen off my buggy for the third time in a month - clearly our DIY efforts are not doing the job. Does anyone know of a buggy repair service locally (or someone who does bike repairs who'd be willing to diversify?!!)

My two have been having whole goats milk on their cereal since 6 months (cows milk does not agree with their tummies or their skin at all!) and they love baby swiss muesli with goats milk and a mashed banana. The only place I've seen this muesli is Healthmatters - it's suitable from 6 months. Cartons of goats milk are a bit more expensive than cows milk, but only using it on cereal would mean it would last you a few days! The problem with lots of prepared food is that it has cows milk already added - including lots of the baby porridges etc. Also things like croissants tend to have milk powder in them. Just on the eczema - I also found a treatment called Salcura Gentle Spray for baby eczema which works a treat! Only available on the net - I had it sent from a health shop in Grimsby of all places....
