I can't say enough good things about Mustela, it's a French brand that's hard to find in the UK but it's honestly amazing for clearing eczema, better than steroid creams in my opinion. You may be able to get it on Amazon:</p> <p><a href="http://www.mustela.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.mustela.com</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/europeancanadianforeign-baby-products-we-dont-have-in-the-usa#post-1568914 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 21:10:30 +0000 Aimed 1568914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms.SK: I second you on the sudocrem!

Good to know that they can be found here, I will have to look for them, just so he can open at least 1. Right now, I will fill his Easter eggs with wood pieces from his train set and let him open them. He likes the process so much, he will request to open eggs about 3 to 4 times a day (he doesn't even care that it's the same toy pieces over and over again). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/europeancanadianforeign-baby-products-we-dont-have-in-the-usa#post-1567893 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 13:44:32 +0000 looch 1567893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamabear57: haha, your kid and mine are watching the same videos!

There are brands like Bugaboo, Baby Bjorn and Stokke that are European, but I don't think that's what you mean. And they aren't cheaper just because they are sold here. :sad: I have a lot of baby things shipped/brought to me from the US because I can't find similar items in price/quality. </p> <p>The one thing I can think of are Naty Nature Babycare diapers. I normally use gDiapers (shipped from the UK), but I like these green disposables for when we travel or when my son was still in diapers at daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/europeancanadianforeign-baby-products-we-dont-have-in-the-usa#post-1567552 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:04:49 +0000 Lozza 1567552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: It makes me a better parent so it counts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/europeancanadianforeign-baby-products-we-dont-have-in-the-usa#post-1567538 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:02:47 +0000 lil owl 1567538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Yes. Chocolate. (i'm sending packages full of chocolate to my friends in the US)<br /> :happy: </p> <p>most of the European baby products are also sold in the US.

I also have a really great arnica gel that I used for bruises, it worked well, but I am convinced that it's also the massage application that made the difference.</p> <p>oh, and toothpaste for kids. I can't find one that's not fruit or candy flavored,so I buy tubes from Europe, just plain mint, no sugar added.</p> <p>As far as gear, though, the US has more selection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/europeancanadianforeign-baby-products-we-dont-have-in-the-usa#post-1567272 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 10:29:39 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1567272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok Ladies outside the US.
