As per my previous question,we live in Dubai (re-located from UK) and the weather here is quite hot. Can anyone offer any additional advice on newborms and A/C's? perhaps this affects her.
Special thanks to Island Princess, Kirsty D, Donna M and Nigel l.
I found your answers helpful and reassuring.
Its difficult living in this region in the absence of family and friends as we have difficult work schedules and no immediate support. I express my breastmilk (when not directly feeding her) and my husband is quite supporting and feeds, changes and helps when he can. Its very difficult to sleep when the baby does.
She does crease up as if in pain sometimes which is worrying and despite changing, feeding winding etc, she sometimes still does not settle which gets me thinking if anything is wrong with her. Aside from that, she's a bright, healthy and alert baby and we love her to bits!
Please advise accordingly.Thanks again!

My brother and sister-in-law had a baby boy on Wednesday, they will no doubt receive countless teddies, clothes etc for him from adoring grandparents and uncles and aunties as I did with my daughter but what would you recommend getting them, something that they would really apreciate and find usefull? What has been your best gift?
