Pampers Charlie with strange French article (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coddles

'pampers' is the definition.
('coddle' can be a synonym of 'pamper')

'charlie with strange french article' is the wordplay.
'charlie' becomes 'c' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'strange' becomes 'odd' (I've seen this before).
'french article' becomes 'les' (french for 'the' - definite article).
'c'+'odd'+'les'='CODDLES'

(Another definition for coddles that I've seen is " Pampers".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
