What to bring for Baby
By presdallias •
I am coming over soon with a six month old baby. I am limited in what I can bring. What in hindsight would you have brought with you? is there anything difficult to get here? What is really expensive in compaarison to UK ? Your guidance would be appreciated.
Chelsea thanks for your answer, its useful to find out about these things so I can stock up prior to coming out. Thank you for passing on your experiences.
you said-The forum is here for Newcomers like me to ask pertinent questions.
yes pertinent not moronic,see now u are getting the hang of it -love -its ok to be stupid as long as you realize it and correct it fast-good begining!
You can get everything here that you can in the UK - just different brands to what we're used to. The one thing that I'm finding expensive is good quality baby clothes that fit properly. Most decent baby clothes are from places such as BHS, Marks & Spencers, Mothercare, Mamas & Papas etc.
Mothercare is pretty much the same here as it is in the UK but some things are expensive. A pack of 3 babygrows will set you back QR120 (over £20). There's a massive selection of tops and bottoms and shoes etc but decent baby vests and babygrows are the biggest problem!
I had my 9 month old over here and so far I haven't found anything that I can't get other then cheap baby clothes. The rate they grow out of them I'd love someone to bring Primark over!!
As far as buggys go - the babyshop has without a doubt the biggest selection - it's quite overwhelming!! We got our chicco complete travel system from there and there were loads to choose from.
Pitstop thank you for your response. To the other respondent I will treat your answer with the contempt it deserves. By answering in this condescending manner, you have clearly demonstrated your complete ignorance of human interaction and communication skills. The forum is here for Newcomers like me to ask pertinent questions and gain from the experience of others. Your comments are rude and unhelpful.
boss wake up , such comments show your ignorance-qatar has one of the highest-2 nd highest to be precise -income per capita in the world-look up if u cant understand what it means.do u still think you will need to lug something from UK? wake up
thats rubbish you get everything in mother care and baby shop.
what do you think others dont use baby gear?
my sister is having a hard time finding a stroller. If you can bring it with you - you'll be fine.
