I remember someone once advising me that I needn't buy a load of our son's favoured nappies before we left for our holiday in France because the supermarkets there would stock them. They were a big brand and the advice made sense - until I got there and realised the shops did no such thing, and I had to spend a few days' trial and error, guessing what other nappies would work best for my beloved's little bottom.
