Hi,
I arrived in Dubai with my 11 month old yesterday and was just after some quick advice about the best places to get baby supplies, formula, nappies, bottles etc? I travelled with enough for a few days but will need to stock up soon. I'm currently in a hotel in Oud Metha but will be moving into a villa in the springs in a week or so. Any advice greatly received! Thanks

You can find Milton at pharmacies and some supermarkets. I believe I've seen it recently at Supercare and Life pharmacies and I think our Spinneys in DSO stocks it too. Tommee Tippee bottles are available at Mamas & Papas and Babyshop, some pharmacies and some supermarkets but hard to say exactly which one may have stock currently. SMA is widely available at supermarkets, we use Aptamil but no reason to change if SMA is working for you. Again, C4 and Spinneys definately have SMA. Good luck!| Thank you ref the Milton I never thought you could get it here :-) It is, but I don't think it's widely used where you find stock is a bit random and the shop assistants may not immediately realize what you're talking about:-)

Thank you for the replies, I found the Al maya today and got a few bits, I was looking for Milton but no-one seemed to have a clue what I was on about, he's nearly 1 so I don't really want to buy a steriliser. We used SMA formula at home, my Husband found some Aptamil which seems to be going down fine but there seemed to be dozens of other brands does anyone have any recommendations. Also I managed to lose some Tommee Tipee bottles on the journey, anyone know if you can get them here? Thanks x Carrefour for diapers, baby food, snacks etc. Babyshop & Mothercare (dubai mall, Mall of the Emirates etc) for all the other bits like bottles etc

Depending on what brand bottles or supplies you're after you may also need to look at pharmacies and some stores such as Toys R us and Baby Shop. If you're looking for something in particular pls mention so we can try to respond:-)
