I am traveling to India with an infant for the first time. All comments are most welcome.?


Travel Info
It will be a very short ten days trip. Any and all suggestions are welcome in regard to the do鈥檚 and don鈥檛s during the flight, jet lag, food, clothing, illness etc. I myself will be going after a long span of 7 years. I am very worried about traveling with my infant.

Travel Tips
This is not specific for India, but first of all I'd say look after him well and don't leave him alone (especially in crowded areas) or trust other people easily. Weather depends on where you'll stay in India. Be careful with food from road-side foodstalls. I hope he/ she has got the needed vaccinations by the way. Apart from that I can't say anything specific. India is a beautiful country and you needn't be worried, just take care and have a nice journey!

Others
drink only mineral water.
Plug the ears with cotton during the flight and while going out. Use boiled water for drinking, bathing and washing.
Don't argue with police...! keep ur self calm.. enjoy ....eat ...drink party....!
Heart
Most important first and formost go to your child peadeat tell the Dr that you are going to X place in India.Ask him if any precautionary shots to be taken, also list of medicines you should carry with you for the whole trip.

On landing in India, see that you drink mineral water and if possible boiled mineral water.Dont eat from roadside eataries,dont give your child to any unknown person.Always keep your passport and papers with you and also in a convineint bag as close as possible to your body as ever.Dont travel in public transport like buses and trains,if by autos not after9pm.If you can afford it stick to a well known tourist taxi agency, hire their vehicles out for the day or for the whole of your trip.A good deal could always be worlked out.

Most important if your child is still in the bottle feed stage then please see that the child is sucking the bottle while take off and landing as this reduces the risk of airpressure for infants an ear pain could be avoided.For your safety you also put cotton in your ears and suck on a candy during take off and landing.

Im sure all will be well and you will have a lovely memorable trip.
