Hello Ladies, My name is Farah and I just moved in to RAK with my 4 months old baby boy and my husband, we are having to live in RAK because of hubby's work. I realized that certain things aren't available here in RAK as they are in Dubai .. I do have few questions id like to as and would like to know your recommendations if available in RAK or in Dubai. I wouldn't mind the drive to Dubai if i can find what I'm looking for.

-Do you know of any US. Board certified pediatricians in the area?
-Can i find over the counter babies r us brand gas drops at the toys r us store/stores in dubai?
-can i find Gerber over the counter infant probiotics at the toys r us store/stores in dubai?
- Where can i find tommee tippee 360 sealer diaper disposal system? I looked everywhere in RAK and no luck.
-Where can i find a sound machine? to help baby sleep with Rain sounds and ocean sounds
-Which stores that sell organic gluten free baby foods/I'm intending to introduce solids to my baby at 5 months of age.

Thanks much for your help! I do apologize if my questions were asked before, i just couldn't follow the threads as there are too many of them ...

Thanks much for your help! I do apologize if my questions were asked before, i just couldn't follow the threads as there are too many of them ... Out of curiocity, why are you planning to introduce a gluten free diet to a baby, to my knowledge if a baby has a sensistivity you most likely wouldn't know before weaning is established, hence sometime between 9 months and 3 years. Do you have a family history and are concerned about it? I get the feeling you will struggle finding good meal options for your baby if you go down that path, plus if he is not sensitive you might end up inadvertently making him sensitive by cutting out gluten, if that makes sense. Agree with others, no need to spend money and fuss about with a diaper disposal system; gas drops didn't work for us but I suppose it's trial and error.

American Hospital in Healthcare City has US board certified doctors. There are plenty of good pediatricians here in Dubai that are not US trained/certified, though, that you might find better than the ones at American though. (Not saying the docs at American are bad, just that American credentials don't automatically make a good doc.) Supercare Pharmacy sells infant probiotics. I've bought them at the one attached to the Dubai London Clinic. Much healthier and better for your baby if you make babyfood at home instead of buying jarred food. Easier to control the ingredients, too. [url=http://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/'>WholesomeBabyFood[/url'> has a lot of great, easy recipes.

Hi Farah Give Toys R Us a call. Even if they do stock what you are after you'll need to check that they actually have some in stock before you make the journey. I had a Tommee Tippee disposal system for my first baby. Total waste of money, tightly tied bags are just as good, a lot cheaper and you don't have to worry about finding refills. If you have a ipad, laptop or smart phone you can download sound apps, no need to buy a special machine. Or go to the [url=http://www.rainymood.com/'>rainy mood[/url'> website. The [url=http://www.organicfoodsandcafe.com/'>Organic Shops[/url'> sell organic gluten free baby foods. Or even better you could buy fruit and veg from them or [url=http://www.greenheartuae.com/'>Greenheart[/url'> and make your own. It's easy and tastes much better :)
