Last time i was at bumps and babes the hostess lady (cant recall her name) said that EW is currently trying to find a location to start a "young toddler" group which will cater for rollers/cruisers/crawlers up to competent walkers age - the mums and tots sessions are crazy active if your baby is at the starting end of the scale! No idea if it is starting soon though? HTH!

Hi Swissroll, sorry, bit of a lurker, but just wanted to say that I did the delayed cord clamping and still managed to do stem cell collection. We used smart cells and the lady there had done it herself with her baby. delayed cord clamping is just the best thing for the baby but you can do both. Was really really pleased with their service. HTH!

Weve used them for several years, cats always happy and healthy at the end, and the staff seem to genuinely like and care for the animals, playing with them etc

Hello! I was in this exact same position. There is nothing here that is even in the same league as nutriprem, after lots of research i got double prescriptions in the uk and stockpiled it. My LO was on it from when I stopped BF to about 9 months, at which point he was fine weightwise so we switched to aptamil normal brand. If they are settled on this formula then i would find a way to keep them on it. Prems much more likely to have digestive issues with regular formula changes. HTH!

Hello! I had a VBAC with Dr Marcus at Welcare, 14 months after a csection with my (premature) first baby. No problems despite me being a fairly risky delivery. So so so much nicer than a C! xxx

Firasha, I was in this situation when travelling with all three of my LOs a while back - call emirates (or whomever you are flying with) and get them to book assistance at heathrow, they will zip you from the gate to passport control on one of those nifty buggies. Much easier than juggling everything - i literally couldnt carry my two plus hold another hand and luggage - and you never know what mood theyll be in! I think you need to call the UK emirates office to arrange? HTH

A friend lives there and it is just lovely! great views and lovely fittings like kitchen and bathroom etc - her only complaint is that the fitted kitchen doesnt have a dishwasher. Also visitor parking is rubbish but i think thats the same with anywhere in marina :) HTH

I wasnt a huge fan of hummingbird, not sure why, nothing wrong with it but was very hectic and my LO was really young so wanted a calmer atmosphere. In the end i went with the drop in service at little hands kids club but they also have a permanent nursery there for full time. lo was always happy, as was i as i just paid it as i used it which is rare in dubai!

Errrr, I have mine through an agency and dont pay her anything extra unless she does extras! I buy her stuff for her at the supermarket, am generous with treats and toiletries but she doesnt get regular extra cash from me at all. Your maid needs her head examining.
