I am sending my maid to Muscat on fly dubai for a 45 minute stopover for her to re-enter Dubai with her pink slip. Does she need a visa for Oman? I am worried that she might get stuck at the airport and not be allowed to return to Dubai without a visa for Oman? Or is it not needed if you are coming straight back to Dubai? Can anyone help me before I send her off tonight? TIA

I got mine made at Ibn Battuta at a stand just outside Vision Express, close to the middle big Starbucks. The name of the man who does it is Ghaazi.

Hi there, We would be interested if it is a new build. Where exactly is it? Is it a good standard, ie bathroom finish, kitchen etc. Does it have a big garden as we have a little 14 month old girl. Pool? Thanks.

How many months of the year can you actually use the garden? And which area are you living - we haev looked at Arabian Ranches, Layan, we area also looking at Dubai Silicon Oasis but these all seem so far away from anywhere....I am used to Marina, JLT and especially as I am not working it is nice to look out of the window and see some life! Does it feel isolated in the villas especially if you are not at work?

Thanks for your responses. That is really true about the stairs - I have been in an apartment for the last 2 years and I have to say I have to concentrate when going up those stairs as I am not used to them anymore - let alone a toddler! So JBR is a good option. I love JBR but hubby wants to have outdoor space to sit on at the week ends and read the paper/have breakfast. When you say community feel - what do you mean by that - does everyone know each other - do you become a "regular"?

I am looking for a recommendation for an Indonesian maid to help look after my little baby girl (1 year old). I have been looking for a long time and I have found it very difficult to chose someone to bring into my home just from a photo and cv. I would prefer to meet her face to face so we can both get a feeling about working together. Does anyone know someone who is leaving or have a maid who knows someone looking for a job. I want to do it properly and sponsor her, give her a day off and ticket home....all officially. If anyone knows anyone please let me know. Many thanks.

I am having the exact same problem. I am looking for a housemaid and have gone through the expat woman classified and every time I call someone up they have a husband or boyfriend that they want to bring home, or they want a villa not an apartment or they want Jumeirah or Umm Suqueim and not new Dubai. I am almost giving up! I have been warned about certain agencies who are not up front with their fees so am weary of them and now I am just waiting for a recommendation. Cappie I would really appreciate a good recommendation. My email is nfjaffer at hotmail dot com. I am very keen to meet a good honest maid!

Sorry I cannot advise from experience as I am just starting out, but from what I know loaded spoons are a good way to give cereal.

I would highly recommend Cecile - I started my antenatal classes around 28 weeks and her classes were great. She helped me give birth naturally and drug-free to a beautiful baby girl. She is also starting post natal classes to educate mums about sleeping, weaning, routines etc.....definitely worth every penny. Her email is [email protected]

Tanya - that is great! I have just requested to join the facebook group - excellent idea. I would love to get together and meet up for a BLW lunch - as I am just starting out it would be a really good incentive to see all the other babies chomping away and see what;s in store for me in the future. I have another question about milk - someone told me it is ok to give cows milk if you mix it with food at 6 months? Is that correct? Has anyone else done this? I was planning on expressing milk and then adding it to foods.

Thank you ladies - all of your posts are making me feel much much better. I thought that I would have to start including her for all 3 meals a day, which would literally mean that she would be either eating of BFing all day with the amount of time it takes. It makes a lot more sense to offer one meal for a while and then add to that when her nap times start reducing giving us more time in the day to do things. Shaf - your little one must be very good if he doesn't make a mess with broccoli - I found that to be the most messy veggie of all!!

I agree with everything you are saying - that feeding should not be "quick" but I guess what I saw on the beach was a baby eating without any mess and no wasting of food and all finished and packed away, no change of clothes, food in the hair etc etc.....but I totally agree that there is no benefit in literally spoonfeeding your child in terms of learning about foods and textures and dexterity and of course the social skill of eating together - all of which are very important to me. What is interesting is the nutritionists comment that babies' diets should be balanced over the week which does make things easier if you have a one off day where you do not provide all the food groups into the meals. Safiya has already started chomping on cucumber, steamed carrots, avocado, roast potato, melon, apple, banana, broccoli and it is going really well, however sometimes I do not fit in the 3 meals and I wondered how important that was. I feel better about going out now, I just have to prepare a few sticks of veg/fruit, take a few rice cakes and it should be fine. What about the mess on the floor? Does anyone take the floor covers out with them to avoid mess? And when do you generally feed your little one? I have been doing it after BF as this way Baby S has more patience and is not hungry and fussy whilst attempting the food. Overall I feel this is the best way to introduce solids, although I still panic inside when I see her chomp off a big piece of food, but it always tends to fall out after a while, nevertheless the fear is still there. But I do feel I am doing the right thing and am happy that there are others here that do too. Thanks.

Thanks for the advice - i do think I want to do BLW because it does make so much sense to me and I have read the book by Gill Rapley so I know all the benefits about it. But how practical is it really when you go out? Baby Safiya hits 6 months on 5th January and I am getting a little anxious now as I know that I have to start giving her 3 well balanced meals. So far I have just been giving her sticks of veggies and fruit to try when we sit down for our meals but not all meal times.. Some days she would have 1 mealtime and other days 2 or 3 mealtimes. When she hits 6 months is it really important that she has 3 meals and gets a combination of foods at each meal? And how easy/hard will it be when we are out and about? Usually I would slip into the baby room in the mall and feed her but now I will have to make a point to sit somewhere and give her a full meal (or is it ok to skip one here and there?) I feel like the BLW way is going to tie me down to the house a lot more as it will not be as easy to go out and about anymore. And what kind of meals are convenient to take out with you with the least amount of mess?? Sometimes I feel that spoonfeeding is a lot easier as we were at the beach today watching an 8 month old being spoonfed and observing how quick and clean the whole thing was.
