The US has banned Vegemite, even to the point of searching Australians for jars of the spread when they enter the country.

This is due to the inclusion of the OMG EVIL folate (aka folic acid aka the vitamin they encourage you to get enough of if you're pregnant or planning to be so or not planning extremely thoroughly not to be so). In the US, you may only add folate to breads and cereals. Not to foul tasting yet oddly addictive yeast spreads.

I went to our local grocery-store-that-stocks-British-food a little bit ago, ostensibly to get ingredients for pumpkin milkshakes, but really to check the availability of vegemite (and the OMG HUGE SALE gdiaper starter packs. Anyone want to try them? I expect I can buy and ship them for cheaper than you can find them most anywhere).

Vegemite and Marmite were no longer on the shelves.

Some knockoff that starts with B (Bogon or Borate or something) was, however. And it included folate.

The local grocery-store-that-stocks-British-food is breakin' da law!

Yeah, that would be awesome, but I think 2 boxes (4 covers, right?) would be enough. If you want to pick them up I will paypal you the money. Let me know how much it is and I will get you the info. The M/L should fit perfectly. You probably can't get the pink/purple set, but if you can that would be awesome. Otherwise I don't care what color they are :) You rock!

Two boxes sounds sensible to me. Enough that you can use them, not so many that you'll have wasted money if they don't work out well.

Medium is 13-26lbs, and Large is 27-35lbs. I'm guessing you want large, unless they have really skinny thighs or something.

Got two boxes of the larges (one of each color combo - I think the pink/purple are only available online right now). Tell me soon if you think you need Medium instead, and I'll exchange them.

When you confirm that size large will work and send me your mailing address (to my LJ email address), I'll get them sent out :)
