@ Irish Moms.

I have a friend in Dublin and would like to send her a few baby essentials.  What can't you get in Dublin that I could send her from the US?

Thanks!

Re: @ Irish Moms.

  • I don't know what we can't get cos I don't know what's normal/used in the US ... But I do know that Baby Gap is quite expensive here. And we don't have Old Navy... I love baby gap clothes for my little girl but I can't justify the cost so she still only has the one outfit that was a gift! 

    Thats probably not a whole lot of use to you, sorry... Maybe ask her if there's something she's missing out on?

  • I did and she said that she has no idea what she needs :)
  • I'm not in Ireland, but one thing that has been hard for me to find in the UK is good burp cloths.  The muslin ones just don't cut it.  My mom bought me the old fashioned cloth diapers from the states to use as burp clothes and they work infinitely better.  Also, pajamas with zippers instead of snaps.  They aren't impossible to find here, but they can be tricky to find.

  • Actually, I prefer muslins. I LOVE them. But then I used cloth diapers as diapers ;)

    One thing that I really prefer in the US to here are fleecey sleep suits. Carters ones are much cuter and more affordable than anything I've found in the UK. So my mom still brings or sends them.

  • Thanks, ladies!  I will definitely do the sleep sack thingies and burp clothes.

    I was also thinking a swaddle me and the zipper sleepers because who ever invented the button ones is evil.  Trying to button those things while a 9 month old rolls around is near impossible.
