My 5 week old grandson came over from UK two days ago and he was great firstly taking his bottles, 5 oz in total, but now he is only taking 3 ozs and is screaming for more, but will not take the rest of his bottle. He is not having problems with colic. I would like to know what is the most popular brand of water being used by parents in Qatar for baby's bottles. Thank you.

Maybe your grandson still adjusting with the situation and the weather here. Because it happened also to my baby when we were travelling. She didn`t drink her milk like before, but after few days everything is back to normal. And for the water i recommend Nestle, or Masafi. Good luck

Hi, I strongly recommend Evian. It's a bit more expensive than other water but it's worth it and you find it in all Carrefours. You can never be sure about other producers here unfortunately...if you decide to go for another brand, make sure Sodium content is less than 20. We just arrived here a month ago from the UK too and my 6 months old is on Evian. My 5 year old was also on it when she was little. Also, what formula are you using? they are not always identical to UK ones. I tried Nestle's NAN but it gave her green poo so we switched to Aptamil and she seems to be fine now. I don't know if it's your first baby but in case it is - don't worry to much about what is so called "recommended milk intake is" - both my daughters always took at least 30% less than was recommended for their age and their weight has still been absolutely normal. Feel free to send me a personal message if you need more advice.

I normally boil the water that comes in big CANs + bottles..I dont use it directly for my 7month old baby..The brands like MASAFI, RAYYAN, MANHAL are safe, as far as i have used it for my baby since her birth..But yes, as a precautionery measure, i do boil before adding SIMILAC powder..

you can use any certified brand, all use same R.O system with (cl & uv).

i usualy prefer NESTELE since they have good quality control and system.

currently we are using the MASAFI water , which is filtered in UAE , and its ok with our 4 months old baby ... but remember that the baby does not drink water !! this water is to mix with the powder milk only .. also we used to use pre-mixed milk Similak brought from the states but its not available here in Doha and then we tried the powder similak , but it didnt work and now we are using Nan #1 milk and its ok
