Shopping

Mother & Baby

Big business in the UAE, there are a multitude of shops selling baby paraphernalia, and many brands you’ll know from your home country. You shouldn’t have trouble finding nursery essentials like bottles, buggies, changing bags, clothes, cots, prams, rocking chairs and travel cots, and there are plenty of shops selling maternity ranges. You can shop online at blushandbloom.com and luxelittle.com for fashionable maternity lingerie, nightwear, dresses and ‘mama and baby’ twinsets.

Abu Dhabi Mall has the widest range of well-known stores, including Mothercare, Adams and Bossini, while supermarkets stock formula, nappies and wipes and many sell a good range of bottles and feeding equipment. Choithrams has the best selection of formulas, stocking popular UK brands SMA and Cow & Gate. Pharmacies sell baby essentials and some may also have breast pumps.

Safety 1st and Maxi Cosi car seats are widely available and should fit most cars; you can also rent car seats, buggies, strollers and other equipment from Rentacrib – if you hire a car seat its staff will fit it for you free of charge. IKEA has a small range of nursery furniture such as cots, changing tables and bathtubs, and a selection of cot sheets and blankets.

Boppy breastfeeding pillows are available in Toys R Us, while other essential accessories for pregnancy include a ‘Bump Belt’, a device that redirects your car seatbelt under your bump for protection, and which can be found in Mothercare and some Spinneys.
