The bottle which worked for us after months of trying various bottles/techniques was the Playtex bottle - the teat is super soft and it uses these odd looking 'liners' but it miraculously worked! We bought ours online as they are difficult to find - but you are welcome to have ours if you want it and we have heaps of spare liners as well. The other thing we did which (maybe???) helped was that when feeding from a bottle we sat him in his bouncy chair so he had no expectations that he would get a boob. Good luck!

We took our little one to Morzine in France (which I love), rented a fairly basic two bedroom apartment for a week and used a nanny service in Morzine called Cheeky Monkeys (it is run by a British lady who is lovely). She would come to our apartment with big boxes of toys and take our little one out for walks, cook him lunch etc - it wasn't exactly cheap but we only used the nanny service for about half the time we were there as the rest of the time we did want to do things as a family - like sledging and going for hot chocolates! They also provide evening babysitters which we used a couple of times and the girls were English and seemed nice and reliable. Overall this worked out much much cheaper than doing a Scott Dunn style package. Oh and I also know that there is a "tourist" creche in Morzine called L'Outa which takes children from 3 months old to 5 years old, I have never used it but have seen positive comments about it on other forums and it is a more affordable option to a nanny.

My son has eczema rather than cradle cap, but we use Aveeno cream for his general dry and itchy skin and found it a million times better than any of the aqueous/emollient creams prescribed.

Hi, thought I'd reply to your thread so you didn't feel too unpopular! Would be good if you let me know how you get on with the Bee before I buy mine. See you again soon hopefully, Helen B.
