I was advised by our pediatrician to used Divisol or Polyvisol by Enfamil. Add it to the formula in the recommended doses. It caused some issues in the early with constipation (high in iron) and we stopped for a month. Once we got to Russia we started using it again (she was 5 months by then) and never had an issue.

Our ped. recommended the same Polyvisol... had to get it away (about 1 yr ago) not sure if it's available here now

Guys any recommendation on a good pediatrician? In south. Baby is 27 days old now. The one that was recommended by d nursing home is kinda doh care I find. Had one visit and was really rushed not explaining things etc. also having trouble with breast milk. She is not taking it. Bought a pump, but it not expressing much. Maybe like an ounce for d day. Suggestions?

I took a look at this video on baby technology, really insightful.

Its unfortunate that i see a lot of parents allow things like iPad's and gaming devices babysit and raise their kids for them, it's important to find that balance. I mean in this day and age, so much opportunities you can offer kids that we didn't have, but if you don't manage it well then it can have a really negative effect.

Heading Miami next few weeks. My brother's wife is due in a few months and I was thinking to bring back a car seat for them as a gift.
Anyone ever bought back one as luggage??
I am concerned with its size basically. Would a new one in box be oversized?

[air wick]

once traveling with an infant you will be allowed a car seat. If traveling alone then you have to check it in as luggage (un box and get it plastic wrapped)

[PapaC]

Buy it and send the whole box as sea freight. will be a fraction of the cost you would pay as a luggage piece.

I would need to contact any particular company across there?

manual or electric pump? Electric is better..Have your wife/gf drink lots of milk and 'vo-vine' and continue to pump..soon enough milk will be flowing like a buss wasa main even when she isn't pumping.

Depending on where you going just lol for a freight company, like Laparkan. Drop it in. Sign up your papers and send it down. Sea or air freight, much cheaper than skybox and stuff.

Dizzy, check Raptor to bring it in. Much cheaper than anywhere else.

Depending on the car seat he is bringing.....the newborn types are small and not that heavy the convertable types are the opposite...the recaro's box was half the size of a 18cu fridge
With the seabox ocean freight company he would save the most and can order it off amazon even before he goes to miami.....

Guys, my baby girl just turned two months, using similac advanced with no problems.

She was born in the states at the end of winter and as soon as we came back home we noticed her skin started getting fine red spots , doc said its normal "heat" and would pass but it doesn't look normal to me. When she is in a/c she is fine , but as soon as i take her for a walk in the yard it flares up....she doesn't seem bothered by it though

Anyone familiar with this?

[BlueIce]

btw where can i buy similac in cases?

[PapaC]

Just keep her as cool as possible. It is what we call heats, just stay out of constant direct sunlight. Should be ok.

[X_Factor]

I think pricemart has baby milk cheaper than even buying cases from the distributor

[bluefete]

Glad to see this thread. Expecting my first child this week! Have a lot to learn about formula. Any recommendations?

Breast feed, breast feed, breast feed! Water and coconut water.

Formula should only be used as a basic supplement to breast milk. But breast is best!!!

Early solids can be boiled and crushed eddoes with plantain.

[bluefete]

With respect to pampers, it is a pity that 'seconds' are not sold anymore. You would have saved a ton of money.

[goalpost]

any good paediatricians in the eastern area? heard great things about dr manning alleyne from my wife's ob gyn, but she's quite in the west.

Thats normal for babies when they first get exposed to our humidity. Our baby had the same but it was ok after a few weeks. Doesn't affect her, but you wont be doing her favors keeping her indoors all the time, she going to have to face it eventually.
