Baby Q-Tips - Septona brand. Cheap, and pretty good. Like - $3 per box of 100.

Hello! How 'bout baby formula? How is the water situation over there, can you drink out of the tap or do you have to boil or drink bottled water? Any suggestions where you can get seat that clamps on tables? I haven't seen them in years but I haven't gone to any speciality baby stores as yet to look! Lots of questions today boy! Thanks Christa!
