Sooo where can I get a Baby Alive locally :/

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

ToyMart, Gopaul Lands Kids Store, most toy stores have them.

Clothes and diapers more expensive than the real thing for your kids.

Had our first pediatric visit yesterday with Dr Warris at SAPH. ideally would have liked to go with Dr Lackheeram as he was the one who checked the baby after birth but he booked solid into February. So far baby going good, his u cord fell off today.

its normal for parents to want to stick to the pediatrician who was at the delivery, that's what we did both times, but if the pediatrician is booked solid for months then maybe that's not a good idea to go there. You want a doctor that you can take your kid to in a hurry, easily.
Plus if he was there at delivery and couldn't schedule the first visit then something wrong.

Same here, started with Lackheeram but we had two emergencies and couldnt get an appt and just never bothered to go back

[snatman]

Our pediatrician is Dr. Marise Dookran. She's never been wrong. 100% would choose again.

[Dave]

^^^Same goes for Dr. Kowsil Singh.

^ is she the one located in medical associates?

if so, she is a boss, heard good stuff from dr charles somewhere in POS

[Dave]

Yup she is

Lackheeram very personable and thorough, spending almost 2 hours with us on the day kiddo came (New Years Day) and a further hour on the day of discharge. He indicated to us since that point that he is usually booked up weeks in advance and maybe we can try him but if we not happy with the long lead times we can switch to someone else. So at least he was upfront about it.

Warris 's visit turned out pretty ok given that we heard he isnt the most affable character and when he saw my last name he apparently knows my family and then he and my father in law was in the same class in Hillview so hopefully he gives us good service. (Would have liked a lil discount on the delivery oh well...... cest la vie!!!)

[*OUTSIDER*]

Our pediatrician is Dr. Parag at Gulf View Medical (Recommended by Dr. Ali) Had our 6 weeks visit yesterday and he said our little man doing just fine EVERYTHING seems to be alright with him He told us to keep doing whatever we've been doing and he will see us in 6 weeks for his 3 mths visit. He's 10.5lbs.

Dr Charles is very good however I stopped going there because her secretary at the time used to want to play doctor. Imagine I calling to speak to the doc, and this imbecile trying to diagnose the condition

Acropolis just opened in Monrepos and they have a pediatrician there. Just sharing the info. Wife is a GP there.

[toscati]

Looking for the chicco next fit car seat. Do you know of anywhere in the east or west that carries this specific car seat?
I know gopaul's in marabella has them, but I live in the St Augustine area, so trying to find somewhere closer

[killercow]

Anyone know where I can get this to buy?


Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

[goalpost]

Not sure if it's the same exact kind but I know there's an Enfamil for premature babies in Superpharm.

[sk1111]

Check quick and see, I'm coming back from NY tomorrow and will bring a few cans if you need it.

[jsali]

Those of you who use Enfamil Infant Formula, have you ever noticed that some batches are normal and loose while some others are lumpy and shitty?

What causes this difference in consistency?

[Sheriff]

Might be how its stored after delivery to much moisture maybe, saw this with the refills (box) before. What price are you all paying for the Enfamil Infant Formula.

I buy the two satchet refill (two 16ozs satchets) Enfamil Gentlease at Pennywise for $193.00
Massy has this for $219
Wanna go Bryden PI when I get some time and see what their price is

Last time I purchased the gentlease boxes it was a case with four boxes in it for $702.60 (which is $175.65 per box).
However, as of this month there was an increase in prices for Enfamil products there.

[Sheriff]

Do Bryden sell the Enfamil Infant Formula tub as well?
Thanks

[Sheriff]

Will try calling them in a bit.

[Dizzy28]

Went to Pricemart Saturday and picked up a box of the seven Pampers wipes refills. Price has gone from $98 to $105.00......a 7% increase since February. Pennywise still has the box of 9 refills for $140 as they always have.

i know oval does be hard to come by, but superpharm gulf has at the moment

[acmilan11]

^^^got ovol in superpharm valsayn...was really an instant relief for our 2 1/2 mth old baby...she fussed and couldn't sleep since night before. This was our last option and it worked great, you wouldn't believe the amount of gas and burps escaping that night. Slept very well after.

Ovol seems to be back for good. Saw lots of it in Superpharm Trinicty and Valsayn.
Heard it was some holdup with approvals from Chemistry, Food and Drugs locally that kept it off shelves all this time.

[crash dummy]

Have some Woodwards Gripe water to give to whomever wants.
Bottle from case broke and whole case was marked off. I have about 8 bottles left. Pm me or call 4715988

Finally got a chance to visit Brydens to purchase formula last week.
Their case price of the Enfamil regular [the two 16.6oz sachets in a box] is $744 which works out to $186.00 a box (there's 4 boxes in a case).
Pennywise sells this Enfamil for $184 so they are actually $2 cheaper on a box than the distributor who would require you to buy a case as a minimum purchase.

Anyone knows of anywhere else that sells Enfamil at more competitive prices or is Pennywise the cheapest??
