Try QV Face Day Cream spf30 I wear it every day and have extremely sensitive and fair skin. It's probably not waterproof but for everyday use it's great. As it's Australian if won't say more than spf30 as this is the highest permitted label under Australian regulations. they don't allow sunscreens to say anything more than spf30 even if they test at spf50 or spf80. so you can't compare an australian sunscreen to a us or uk one on spf alone.

The Maxi Cosi Pearl is not suitable for a new baby. If you want to go down the base and seat route you can choose the Maxi Cosi Pebble or Cabriofix now and later get the Pearl which is only suitable for a toddler. These seats all use the same base that the seat clips into. If you want a seat that goes from baby to toddler you need either the Maxi Cosi Milofix or Opal.

A carseat is the thing i would spend the most I could afford on! Here in Dubai you can choose any standard in the world you want. As a bit of a carseat nerd my favourite is the EU standard. (I like EU best because it has the highest standards for testing which includes side impact testing) and within that the Maxi Cosi or Britax seats in particular. Personally I like the maxi cosi capsules that clip into the isofix base (you can get them off dubizzle all the time) for when a baby until about 12 months and then move to a bigger seat. If you want a seat that lasts from birth to about 4 years of age I would be choosing: I would be choosing: Maxi Cosi Opal (seatbelt installation - rear and forward facing) Maxi Cosi MiloFix (isofix seat, rear and forward facing) Britax Max Fix (isofix seat rearfacing to 18 kg) Britax First Class Plus (seatbelt installation - rear and forward facing) it is safer to keep your child rearfacing for as long as possible. The Swedish rearface their children until the age of 4 years and their long term safety statistics lead the world. For a swedish rearfacing seat go to www.carseat.se I have purchased from this site: babycare.nl and I know others who have bought from carseat.se

With my first baby it is with hindsight that i knew he was coming! My waters broke just a little but it was a week until I went to hospital. He was born the next day but was early at 36 weeks. With my second you would have thought I would know but...nothing at all until just before hand. waters went pop at 11pm and he was born at 2am. 3 hours notice.

Many places here in Dubai will make a mattress to fit your bed. we just had one made from American Mattress (on SZR) last week to fit our Australian bed. They apparently make them locally in Sharjah. Only took 3 days.

Just change your own meal to the child one (2-12 year old not infant meal which will just be mush). they will bring it before the regular meal service and it will have plenty of toddler friendly snacks. they will later bring the regular trolley down the aisle with the normal food and you can ask for one of them as well if you are feeling up to it and possibly a drink!.

Yes it will. All your tv will be pay tv or through your computer. ie. you won't have an aerial on your roof to pick up free to air like in Aus. so the digital/analogue issue you might be concerned about won't be a problem here. Power adapters are cheap to buy here so don't buy in Aus.

I used the Ikea Poang chair for my DS1. It isnt a rocking chair but does have a give in it that makes it 'rock' sort of. I used it as a breastfeeding chair in DS's bedroom. I loved it so much and then we used it as a book reading chair. I actually bought another one when DS2 came along.

Most Australian families I know of here in Dubai choose British curriculum. My 2 boys go to a UK/EYFS school (one is in FS1 and the other in year 2). My older one started school in Australia and transferred from prep/pre-primary to mid year 1 in January. My younger one started school here in Dubai. When is your son turning 4? If it before September they should start FS2 in September 2013. We did hold my older child back by a year because he is a late August baby and so in the Australian system one of the oldest in the year. had we had put him in his correct year he would have missed 1.5 years of schooling. I do know of other families who deliberately hold their July/August babies back a year in the UK curriculum to allow them to better fit back into the Australian system on their return. At this stage of the year you may have a difficult time finding a place at many of the more popular schools.

I am not sure there is any evidence that random mole checks by dermatologists are required by the general population. In Australia (which has the dubious title of the highest rate of skin cancer in the world) most people see their GP if they have concerns. From there a GP would refer if and only if there was a concern. The best thing for skin checks isn't a one off visit to a specialist...it is long term monitoring of one's own skin for changes (get your partner/friend to check your back where you can't see). a mole/spot changing is much more indicative of a problem. the back in the 80/90s there was a move to removing spots that could potentially be dangerous in the future, but this is no longer the case. If possible and to put your mind at rest and to seek up to date information I would recommend a trip to an Australian trained doctor. Australian doctors would be the most well trained in skin cancer. I speak here from experience....I had a melanoma in my early 30s. detected by a normal GP after I noticed it changing. And now I see a dermatologist every year during the summer holidays in Australia. His advice is to monitor my own skin for changes. Depending on where you grew up and what colour your skin is - is the key risk factor. So if you are dark skinned and grew up in England....you have a very low chance of skin cancer.

Lech was really nice. However every one got sick (nothing to do with the location - I got the flu in Dubai and then everyone else got it over the course of the week). You fly into Zurich and get either a private transfer or shared one from the airport. We got a private taxi as their was 6 of us. I found the kinder school at Lech good but more geared to 3 year olds rather than 4 year olds. My 7 year old snowboarded in a 8 - 15 year old group (7 year olds aren't meant to snowboard) but he could already do basic runs due to ski dubai (where he also tells a small fib about his age but everyone knows in reality). He had a wonderful instructor and had a fantastic week - he only got sick on the last day. We stayed at an absolutely fantastic hotel - Hotel Haldenhof which I would recommend to all. the service and food was impeccable. the rooms generous in size and very well kept. Pity everyone got sick - at least they drove us to the doctors and arranged everything. The kids were well looked after with early meals (of their choice) and we ate later after the children had gone to sleep. 5 courses every night. beautiful breakfast. I would stay there again in a flash but it was not cheap. It was an easy walk down to ski school and the bottom of the lifts. Had there have been more snow you could have skiied most of the way out. It was ski in if you were a reasonably good skier and fairly confident. I walked - my 7 year old could board all the way home!

We skied Serfaus in January 2012. It is a nice but not huge resort. i would not go there unless you had small children as it is really geared to families. It was really perfect for as because we had a 3 year old and 6 year old. I have heard that in a busy week their ski school will take over 1000 children! We got there in a really cold snap (was about -20 in Munich). We got a taxi from Munich (the local taxi from Lech) as we had 6 of us travelling and it worked out easier. The underground train is an experience! We stayed in a self contained apartment but there was plenty of more traditional hotels with board. The snow was fine but we didn't get that much fresh stuff (although we love lots of snow like Japan) so often Europe seems a little un-powdery! The runs weren't the most exciting you find in the world. We skied Lech this year.

We skied lech this year in February. it is quite high but not sure that anywhere guarantees you great snow for Christmas. it would be suitable for teenagers and young children. there are wide range of runs but most suited to intermediate skiers. The run home in the later afternoon was a bit choppy!

Rearfacing is definitely safer than forward facing. Swedish child car crash statistics prove it! It Sweden they rearface to about 4 years of age and turn forward in a booster until 10 years. Child deaths are unheard of. I have never seen an extended rearfacing seat for sale in Dubai. The best place would be carseat.se this website is run by a worldwide guru on rear facing. you can email him and you will get a response within a day. let him know your car and he will best advise. If it is usually just you and your child you can safely put them in the front seat next to you in a rearfacing seat. This is what the Swedes do!

No I would want a guarantee that the goods I was entrusting to keep my baby safe were to a certain standard and of a good quality. For a cheap but good quality cot - go to Ikea. For pram/buggy - dubizzle For carseat - I would recommend buying the best you can afford. I would buy a Maxi Cosi seat new to be honest. Or if not - do you have a friend that you can buy a second hand one off? Next best would be dubizzle if you went and met the seller and had faith in the seat not being in an accident beforehand.

we have a kangaroo trampoline - purchased a few weeks ago. They are not made in Australia.... For a 3 year old and 4 year old it is perfect and so much cheaper than the springfree which I couldn't justify. especially as it will spend summer outdoors being cooked and we might only be in Dubai 12/24 months more. We have the 8ft one which is fine for my small 4 and 7 year olds but too small really for the 10 year old next door. but she does jump on it....

my recent experience with Fly Movers was similar to aurinko. Their quote was very reasonable and the were very professional in how they quoted. They promised that yes they could do it in one day and that everything would be unpacked and re-installed at the new house. they said they were experts at putting stuff back together. Well.....it wasn't. They arrived on time with about 8 guys but it took them ages to get going. The second truck didn't arrive at the new house until about 6 pm. they only just got the 3 beds together by the time it was bedtime for the kids. and this was with me and the agency maid helping them. They then said they would come back the next day and finish the installation of curtains etc which they had included in writing in the quote. the next day after about 5 phonecalls two particularly useless men turned up and took about 6 hours to install 4 sets of curtains. i kid you not! and then they had the cheek to ask for extra payment. well I went ballistic at them!!!! They did not unpack a single box, did not rehang anything but the curtains. We then had to do it all ourselves over the next few days. I would not recommend at all.

tomorrow mine are getting a wrap with cream cheese, avocado and ham. i make it into a cigar roll and cut into 2 halves. plus a cut up apple, a cheese stick/block and a juice box. An ongoing and very easy favourite for mine is a small pasta like macaroni with plain bottled pasta sauce on it. Mine also like arabic bread with vegemite. One of mine likes a boiled egg (easy to make the night before) or arabic bread with some hommus - one of my kids would be really mad if he got these things though. a small bag of plain popcorn is another easy one.

My toddler took up nail biting when we took his dummy/pacifier off him. He was just over 2 years old. I don't really know when he did it because I never saw him with his fingers in his mouth, but the state of his nails said he did. i didn't have to cut them for a year. Then one day I noticed that they were long and needed cutting - he was just over 3 and it was soon after we moved to Dubai. The nail biting polish didn't seem to do anything to stop him. But he just seemed to grow out of it. there is hope!

What a brilliant update! Well done you. I think that at 20 months they really respond to the narrative - telling them in advance what will happen, giving lots of warning and following through with exactly what you told them. Make sure you praise her and retell the story in the morning. Ie. Last night we did this and this and you went to sleep like a big girl and that was fantastic. not just praise but reminding them constantly how it was and will be. I would slowly reduce the time you sit on the chair. I used to make up any excuse to leave - like mummy is going to do this and leave for 5 minutes. then come back without comment and without talking. Slowly making the time in less and the time out more.

I definitely think from your comments you need to start again. Go to Ikea and buy a new toddler bed, new girly linen, a night light and a soft toy. The whole lot will cost less than a few hundred dirhams. (I'm an Ikea fan) Make an outing of it for the whole family. Make her the centre of attention for the afternoon and talk constantly about how things are going to be. Not about what she wants, but how it will be. At 20 months they comprehend a lot! She is not a small baby - she is a strong willed toddler and she is dictating to you at the moment. I would also get rid of the bottle at bed. Kids who drink to sleep then can't teach themselves to self settle back to sleep overnight. They also take on more liquid than they need for simple hydration and pee all night which also wakes them up. I only allow milk and water in the evening and only from a cup - maybe from a straw or sippy cup at 20 months.

evelyn2000 - not helpful! I know what it's like to be exhausted. I can still remember with my first child being back at work with an 8 month old who still insisted that he feed multiple times overnight. It is soul destroying! I tried a modified version of controlled crying called 'pick up, put down'. Firstly you need a really really strict bedtime schedule. Work one out that suits you and write it down for teh family including DH to see. For me it was dinner 5.30, quiet time until 7.00, bath, clean teeth, get pjs on, read 2 books and lights off. I used this from a very young age of about 4 months and it still works for my 7 year old today. I use a bedtime warning system in that I give 15 minutes, 10 minutes and then 5 minutes warning to 7 pm. No negotiation to be entered into. After it was bedtime I refused to talk to my kids. I would go in, lie them down, pat, shush and walk back out again (or sit in the corner of the room facing away from them). You might also like to try some nice music. Another idea at this age is to do something dramatic. change everything and try to break the cycle. Set up a toddler bed and get rid of the cot. buy a new sleep toy (ikea has cheap and washable ones). let her choose new pjs and sheets for the bed. And a night light too. My DS2 went into a bed at this age and it was the best thing ever for him. He did have a baby gate on the door but he never really tried to come out.

Different cars have different systems for turning off the airbag. In my VW you turn a switch (with the car key) that is located inside the glovebox. Then a red light on the dash remains on to remind you it's off. It just turns off the passenger one. Other cars do it other ways and some you have to have it done at a service centre.

In addition. Volvo - the world's leading car safety company states that children including infants are equally as safe in the front and the back. Obvious - in an appropriate carseat. Children should be in a carseat until the age of 10 years.

The Swedish situation confirms that this is the safest way for small children to travel. After this I put allow my 7 year old in the front seat in a booster seat - again with the airbags off if all the other back seats are used.

Actually - in modern cars - for adults - the front passenger seat is now safer than the back. The statistics are enhanced for fragile old people. With front air bags and advances in safety the statistics have changed. Children under 10 years are still safer in the back.... Except....... when they are in Swedish style rearfacing seats in the front with the airbag turned off. In Sweden, which has the LOWEST child deaths in cars in the WORLD, children rearface until the age of 4 years and they commonly sit in the front. Child deaths in cars is almost zero! This is why for instance the Audi Q5 has isofix points in the front seat.

At that age I would seek out a small group of english speaking children for them to play with rather than formal lessons.... A little girl I knew spoke English, with German as a second language. She had a little friend who was the opposite, German first, English second. They used to have an organised play date at least weekly and were encouraged to speak only German. My son also has a friend who lives next door. He spoke Bulgarian only until September when they moved here. He had absolutely no English. Now (only 4 months later) he speaks reasonable English and can converse easily. They play together at least every second day and my son speaks only English.
