"My sister came across the shop Baby Deli in Madrid's "barrio de Salamanca" and was impressed by how lovely it all was...she sent me a comment about it through Facebook the next day....I checked out their website: www.babydeliworld.com from Sitges, where I live, and decided to try out their online shopping service and buy some organic food on offer I was familiar with, having spent the last summer holidays in the UK, for my 16-month old son... Surprisingly, I received the parcel just about 26 hours later (even thoughthat day was La Mercè, a holiday in Barcelona)...

"Thank you for sending the Kangaroo sling so quickly, it arrived in 2 days! It was great to able to carry our baby around so comfortably and the sling was really nice and light, so he was never hot and normally went straight to sleep (a bonus). It was much better than taking the pram out with us all the time and my son was happier being close to us. Thanks too for the many emails answering our questions and worries about how to use the sling, my wife really appreciated it and in the end she found it really easy, just as you said she would! We will be using the sling all the time now and would recommend it to anyone who asks" (RM, July 10)

"My daughter loves the yellow dress. Strangely enough she loves the nappies aswell! I was planning on keeping them for the new baby, but Anais (who only wears them to bed) insists on wearing the nappies you sent me. They are sooooo much easier than the traditional terry nappies (which I tried to use on her, but soon got fed up with it). I guess I'll be ordering some more nappies from you for the new arrival!" (EW, Sep 2010)
"Bamboo is incredibly soft and hypoallergenic which is fabulous for babies and kids. I love to wear it myself as well and will never go back to cotton towels. I have now also got Soapnuts, so that you can do your laundry in an economical, eco-friendly and hypoallergenic way" (Founder Monica Jensen Oct 2010)

I bought my baby girl a natural Iris Root teether attached to a wooden soother chain which will hopefully help soothe her gums when the time her teeth begin to come through.

"An item I found invaluable, is a cloth tie on chair! It is a kind of pouch that sits on most chairs and you basically tie your child on to the chair, (not really as crude as that!) I found it invaluable, particularly in the restaurants if they didn't have a high chair or if they did they would seldom have restraint straps, so this worked v well... It folds down to nothing! So you can easily slip into your bag!" (HS)

Comments
"I have just ordered two of their hampers - find them useful for breakfast and dinners for stage one and two. They were £45 & £50 plus postage at £15 so a total of £110. For this i got a mixture of Dinners (i.e ) fish pie, beef casserole, chicken casserole Vegetables and fruit mixed and fruit on its own (i find this one good for breakfast to mix in with papilla) in total i received 131 packets of food of all sorts which i worked out to cost 83pence per packet rather than the £1.70 you would pay for an individual packet. Basically in short the hampers are the cheapest way to buy. Obviously one would have to choose what is best for them but i think it is great value for money." (MS)

Comments:
This has loads of products you can´t find in Barcelona. Delivery normally within two weeks.
"I discovered Mothercare Iberica when we were searching for basic baby furniture and were horrified by the prices of any aesthetically decent baby furniture in Barcelona. Unfortunately, they do not have a branch in Catalonia, but they do have a catalogue (which is more updated than their web site) and items can be ordered by telephone. Once the bank transfer is made, they deliver the items to your door (you can also pay by "contra reembolso"). We bought the moses basket, a really great travel cot, a cot-bed and mattress as well as a few other bits and pieces. The mattress is a much better one than we could find in any of the baby shops in Barcelona (Rillo, Rabassa, Nonetes etc.).. It's a sprung mattress with a zip on/off washable "coolmax" layer, and the cot-bed was really well priced for its good quality and aesthetic. However baby clothes at Mothercare Iberica are as ridiculously expensive as in any other shop in Barcelona. For example. A set of three plain white baby-grows that costs 8 pounds in the UK is sold for 28.90€ in Spain" (CL, May 08)

"It comes ready to go in a green durable canvas bag that can zipper close (so important to containment!) and has a carrying handle. Inside, you’ll find all sorts of goodies to keep kids aged 3-6 (there’s a separate one for older children) entertained. Let me tell you, it is LOADED with activities. Some of these include an age-appropriate coloring book, doodle pad with stickers, maze book, crayons, pencil, crafts for the making, small toys, as well as travel-sized tissues, sanitizing wipes and band-aids. There is also a separate plastic bag enclosed containing activities and toys to keep in reserve for the return trip (or another occasion). Which, when you think about, is totally key. Turns out we’ve not only used (and benefitted) from it during our sanity-testing road trip a month ago, but scores of times since – grabbing it any time we anticipate needing a little Elise-distraction time, even while at home. And there’s still TONS left for her to do"

"The quality of the clothes is excellent, really is as it managed to survive the treatment that my kids give to their clothes, I especially
advise to go for the basic clothing offers, secure products and fantastic values! Plus they do an excellent on and off line management of their clientele, and you will nearly always benefit from special offers" (IG, Sep 10)
