Hi Scurry77, Although environmentalist would encourage their use, but putting it to practice is another thing altogether.. i tried to use them and failed miserably because.. well.. THE HASSLE.. !!! since newborn babies get wet so soon you have to change too often which means being on ur toes all the time, since you dont want your poor baby to be uncomfortable just cause you are late changing her/him.. then cleaning up the poop is such a messy business ... and again newborns go many times a day.. I used homemade cloth nappies so maybe i suffered more.. maybe there are some sophisticated products out there which are better to use.. i have heard of disposable cloth nappy services where they provide you with 12 nappies a day and collect the dirty ones at the end of the day and provide you with 12 for the next... however i have no idea if this service is available in Dubai.. and i m sure this would be an expensive solution compared to diapers... In my opinion the hassle definitely out weights the savings if there are any..i simply did not have enough time to maintain cloth nappies.. hope you are able to make a good decision.. Goodluck

Hi, i feel for you. this must be a difficult time indeed. i know of a home remedy. Maybe it will help your baby. 2 glasses water - when it comes to a boil add the following and then close the stove, dont boil anymore after that. Fennel seeds - 1 teaspoon Mint leaves - 5 to 6 leaves with the stem small Cardamon - 2 Then cover the utensil. After an hour remove this stuff from water and keep it in a bottle. Feed the baby 2 to 3 tablespoon 3 to 4 times a day. If you are giving formula milk you can use this water along with other water. My Mother in law says she knows this remedy to have helped colic babies. However she says this is temperory remedies and helps baby release gases and sleep well. Colic babies stay colic for about six months. Hope your baby recovers though.
