we went to india in october when my son was 6 months old and my daughter 7 years i gave anti malaria tablets to both of them because some one known to us who went to india and got malaria there, so we were very scared if u think the place where u r going is going to have mosquitoes then i think u should take precautions .
bye enjoy ur trip

Hi mandeep

i went to india when my son was 8 month old and his Dr.has Prescribe him anti malaria tables but the Pharmacist told us that it has some side effects to some babies.after that i went through some sites and decided not to give it to my son.
in India i took all precaution we use Allout and keep it on day and night.also i bought Avon lotion which is anti mosquito so ask ur son Dr.abt any lotion.dont worry u r his mom and u will take good care of him.and remember where ever we live in any part of the world we will go to our county to meet our parents.so be happy and enjoy ur trip.
