BABY STUFF HELP

Hi ShannonB, I know the baby water you mean, white, pale blue and pink label with a picture of a baby on it. They sell it in Spinneys. In the baby aisle. Alternative is Nestle brand in the normal water aisle. It has added fluoride.

I may be wrong but from what I understand bottled water is ok for formula, I think by boiling it you can get rid of most of the minerals. Last time I was in spinneys I saw baby water there.

Have you tried the Chubs wipes? they are much thicker than say johnsons..... (maybe thats the ones that smell like grapes?) Ive been trying to figure out what they smell like!

I bought a couple of packs of Corine de Farme wipes at Le Marche in the Ranches a few weeks ago and found them far thicker than the Boots ones I had been using. More moist, too, so they were an all-round better wipe.

I've been through this right now with our 3 month old. Drop ins, you can only get the flat bags that say breast milk storage bags. We had the kind that are shaped like a cylinder, like the shape of the bottle, and you literally just drop it in. The ones they sell here are flat and you have to fold the tabs over the bottle. They say 4 oz but they don't truly hold 4 oz. We checked EVERYWHERE in this city and can't find the cylinder shaped ones. So I finally got an Aramex account and ordered them from Amazon in the states. I had 400 shipped over and some next size up Playtex nipples. I got free shipping from Amazon to my US Aramex address and then it only cost me 105 dhs to ship everything here. That's the best you can do to get those pre-formed drop ins. Otherwise you'll have to use the bags. I can't help you with the baby water as we have home delivery of bottled water and use that. The Similac you can get at several places and I've found C4 to be the best place. We had DD on the gas and fussiness for her first 2.5 months and recently found out she has reflux and can't tolerate the milk based formula so we switched her to the Similac Advanced HA that is lactose free. The hospital had her on the gas and fussiness from day one. I can only find the smaller cans of the Similac for birth to 6 months but noticed once you start the over 6 months formula you can find them in the bigger cans. We bought several of the BIG Similac plastic containers from Cosco while home this summer. We have one left that is the gas and fussiness. It has been opened but I think we made one bottle before we found out 2 weeks ago that DD can't drink it anymore. If y'all come over for TorT'ing you are more than welcome to it. I hate to throw out that much good formula. And again with the thick Huggies wipes, you won't find them here. We brought our's from Cosco this summer and I'm down to one last pack and will have my sister bring another suitcase full when she comes this Xmas. They don't sell thick wipes like we are used to in the states. I've tried almost every brand here and even the ones marked "thick" aren't like the Huggies wipes. I did find one that is a decent thickness but they were grape scented and I couldn't stand wiping their bottoms with something smelling of grape.

I have a box of 125 Standard Pre-Sterilized Disposable Liners 8ox by Playtex - is that what you are looking for? You're welcome to have the box as I bought it thinking they were for milk storage and freezing but as I do not use Playtex bottles, they are of no use to me. I live in the Green Community though (bought them in the Choithrams here a while ago) so am not sure if that is convenient for you!
