  • Help me figure this out, please. I'm too tired! Going to England for 5 1/2 days with 8 mo. How many diapers should I bring (won't be able to get out to buy 'em there). I estimated about 40 (to be safe) plus those for night. Sound right?

        • Seriously, we're staying with my in-laws, they can't drive, they are very ill, we're just going so they can meet their grandbabies for the first time. They don't live near anything and we're not comfortable driving there.

    • Are you going to the country or something. This might surprise you but England has diapers.

      • Um, even in the country. There is no "country" in england that isn't 5 ft from the next village.

        • FYI, they are in the suburbs in Manchester and don't have anything in walking distance, which is what we would have to do (if it's not raining!)

            • Really? there is no place in England that isn't 5 ft from the next village? Damn that would make it the most populated country in the world. Amazing. Obviously since dh is from Newcastle you know all of England.

        • Or- You are dead wrong lady. There are plenty of isolated areas in the country. You obviously haven't traveled outside of the main cities much.

    • OP: Screw you all for your "help." We have a really difficult life/death situation there. We won't be able to get out. It's just easier for us to bring. So get off your f-ing high horses and don't reply if you don't like the question!

      • don't get so angry. we're just saying that it would be easier to stop at a supermarket for example just so you don't have to try and estimate thats all. otherwise, go with 40. Good luck with the trip.

          • ignore everyone who is being bitchy. don't get emotionally involved with ub. use it as a tool for info, and ignore every response that doesn't give you exactly that

          • np: how on earth would we know what you are going through by your original post? Just bring the diapers (40) sounds good.Or, on the way in from the airport, have taxi stop at a supermarket or Boots. I hope your trip goes well.

              • its not required but then you can't throw your situation back at us when we didn't have any idea about what you are going through. Honestly, I hope that you get through this difficult time.

            • ita a stop on the way in to where ever you are going would be a nice solution. This could be the same for formula, wipes, other baby stuff. It would cut down on your packing which I know is a hassle. Is dh going with you? I'm sure someone can go to the store for you. Just trying to off an easier less stressful solution to a situation that sounds pretty hectic.

          • sorry for everything but you are really being hyper-sensitive. that said, here is my advice. either bring a big ass pack - usually 50-60 diapers....who knows if baby might get diahhrea or soemthing. or go to amazon.uk and ship everything to inlaw's ho e. that seems to be the easiest thing to do

      • i asked above why you couldn't buy them there. once you answered, i get it. is your dh from there? he's not ok driving? how are you getting to and from the airport? all that said, i'm sorry to hear that your in laws are ill. i know how that can be and visits are so different when that is the situation. ignore the rest here.

    • i'd bring about 40 yes. don't take them out of the pkg so they'll be as flat as possible.

    • 40 doesn't sound like enough to me. could you just buy a jumbo box of them and check it in as-is?

      • fwiw, i took about 40 on a 5 day trip. it was just enough, but that's for a 2yo. if i remember correctly, i used far more when she was younger? i think i'd go for something like 50-60.
