Whilst we await Euan turning 4 we are going through the 15 plus nappys a day at great expense
Local policy says we cannot access NHS supplies yet so we are at ASDA buying the multi boxes by the dozen
Does anybody know of any places online that sell discounted nappies or are ASDA the cheapest?
Also the conteninance pads as well we use these and currently get these from mothercare so if people have any ideas on them as well it would be great.

sorry i cannot offer any advice for this, but i wanted to put my two cents in.

Why is it you live in the UK but because you live in a certain area you cannot get certain services or goods from the NHS. It really grates on me. Euan is turning 4 and you cannot get help with nappies but i can get them from age 3 (next month), its just not fair on you and other parents trying to find the extra money to get these when you really should be getting them off the local health authority.

having looked in wholesalers like bookers or local ones the offers supermarkets give tend to be the best prices its a matter of stocking up when an offer is good unfortunaly, tesco are good at mo unless u have an ocado nearby.
have you got any tesco vouchers as you can double up on them meaning the nappies are half price after the offer as a £5 worth of points is worth a tenner and baby is one of the depts doing it

when matt was getting nappies of health they would only supply 4 a day which was hopeless as you couldnt buy nappies big enough for a 6yr old and he used more than that especially while training i remember argueing that it would be cheaper for them to supply pull ups in a childs size (they do them for adults) than to waste nappies that you couldnt reseal, i even had to get some from a friend who for some reason had spare packs but they nearly fit me lol

How do they honestly caculate how many nappies to asign?
Is it on Urine output or something?

Nicole gets her nappy changed around 8 times a day, so i got 8 nappies a day, we can also have it increased. I get pull ups and larger nappies for bed. (Even though she doesn't use the toilet/potty, lol). With Jessica it will be more, we'll get the assessment in September by the school nurse, and I'll let you know the outcome.
