“I came across Bio-Oil by chance when someone at my neighbourhood pharmacy recommended it to me, and I’ve been using it ever since. When I was pregnant the relaxing time at the end of the day, after my bath, was my husband’s and my communication time with our baby. He would help me rub Bio-Oil into my stomach and it was a special way for us to welcome a new member of my family. My midwife was amazed when she saw my stomach after my son was born. I did not get a single stretch mark.”

The product most recommended by doctors for scars & stretch marks.

[IPSOS], [2012]

Emi with Kazuma

Bio-Oil® helps reduce the possibility of pregnancy stretch marks forming by increasing the skin’s elasticity. It should be applied twice daily from the start of the second trimester. For comprehensive product information, and details of clinical trials, please visit bio-oil.com. Bio-Oil is available at pharmacies and selected retailers at the recommended selling price of QR 45.00 (60ml). Individual results will vary.

Sleeping Safely with Kulluna Nothing is more beautiful than a sleeping baby, especially for parents who are often overtired themselves. By following a few simple tips parents can create a safer sleeping environment for their baby.

Baby’s cot/crib: • Choose a crib that meets current US or European safety standards.

• Make sure the crib is properly assembled.

• Carefully inspect second-hand cots for missing, loose, broken or improperly installed screws, brackets or other hardware on the cot or mattress support.

• Purchase a firm, tight-fitting mattress so your baby can’t get trapped between the mattress and the crib.

• Avoid cots with design cutouts in the headboard or footboard as they pose a risk of trapping your baby once he starts exploring.

• Ensure that the gaps between the cot rails are too close to slip a can of soda between them. More space means that a baby’s head could get stuck.

• Corner posts of the crib should not stick up more than 1.5mm. Taller posts present a risk of accidental hanging once your baby starts crawling out of the crib.

• Reduce the risk of cot death by keeping the crib free of all stuffed animals, bumpers, pillows and accessories.

18 Kulluna Baby Safety Sleep ad 03.indd 1

dohamums.com

Positioning your baby’s cot/crib: • Avoid placing the crib near windows, curtains, blinds or wall-mounted decorative accessories with cords.

• To reduce the risk of strangulation, do not hang anything above or on a baby’s cot using string or cord.

• For the first six months place your baby’s crib in your room for more convenient feeding and closer contact.

• Always return your baby to her own cot when you are ready to go back to sleep.

Though less convenient for tired parents it is much safer for your baby.

Going to sleep: • The safest sleeping position for your newborn baby is on his back. Remember the phrase “Back to Sleep”.

• If your baby is older and able to roll in both directions then you can safely allow her to sleep on her stomach. Otherwise, gently move your baby onto her back.

• Don’t overdress your baby for sleep. He should be warm but not sweating or hot to the touch. Cool hands are quite acceptable as long as the baby’s stomach is warm.

• Instead of using blankets consider the safer option of using a baby ‘sleep sack’ or ‘sleeper’ (a wearable blanket) • If you feel a blanket is necessary, place the baby with her feet touching the end of the cot and then tuck the blanket firmly under the mattress so it only reaches to her chest.

• Keep your baby’s head uncovered.

General safety: • Don’t allow anyone to smoke around your baby.

• Sharing a bed with your baby is not safe, particularly if you are very tired, have been drinking alcohol, are taking medicines or if you smoke.

• Never sleep with your baby on a sofa or armchair.

SERIOUSLY BLISSFULL. MUMS LOVE SOME TIME TO THEMSELVES AND INDULGE IN MUSIC, READING AND MOVIES. Robbie Williams – Swings Both Ways (60QR) The tenth studio album by British singer-songwriter Robbie Williams and his second swing album. The album topped the UK Albums Chart, becoming the 1,000th number one album for the Official Charts Company. The album sold 109,000 copies in its first week, becoming Williams' 11th number one album, tied with Elvis Presley.

Hero by Rhonda Byrne (108QR) A brand new book from the author of The Secret. In Hero, Rhonda Byrne brings together the wisdom and insight of the 12 most successful people living in the world today. By following their seemingly impossible journeys to success, Hero reveals that each of us was born with everything we need to live our greatest dream – and that by doing so we fulfill our mission and literally change the world.

Diana (85 QR) Celebrated and adored, she was the Queen of peoples hearts, yet the bittersweet story of the last man to truly capture hers has never been told.

Princess Diana (Naomi Watts), at one time the most famous woman in the world, inspired a nation with her generosity, compassion and kindness - and in her final years she would meet the man who, in turn, inspired her. The movie introduces a time in her life that was uniquely important in shaping her final years, fulfilling her search for true happiness and sealing her legacy.

Treat your mum to a hearty Fresh Breakfast.

During my travel to Australia last December I came across some wonderful recipes - incredible tastes mixed with unmatched freshness. Having tried breakfast in so many places over three weeks, this is a recipe of one of my favourite breakfast dishes- Shakshouka.

Let your Mum sleep in and ask your Dad to help you prepare and serve in bed.

Ingredients: • 1 Tbs olive oil • 1 onion sliced • 2 capsicums (green, yellow or red) chopped • 1 teaspoon paprika • A pinch of dried chili flakes • 4 ripe tomatoes, chopped • 2 eggs Method of preparation: Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the onion and capsicum and cook until softened. Stir in the paprika and chili flakes and cook for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes. Season with sea salt and black pepper.

With your wooden spoon clear two holes in the mixture, crack an egg into each one and cook to your liking. Sprinkle with a little paprika and serve with toasted flatbread.

Dogs in Doha Dogs in Doha is a volunteer organization helping rescued dogs find a loving home.

We are a network of people who help to rescue, foster, adopt and find missing dogs. We do not have a shelter but rely on the kindness of people to foster or sponsor a dog while we work to find a forever home. All dogs that are ready for adoption have been to a professional vet and are healthy, have been vaccinated, spay / neutered and micro-chipped.

Our philosophy is 'Don't Shop, Adopt', help us to spread the word. If you are interested in volunteering, fostering or adopting a dog into your family please contact us.
