Hi, I stay in Malaysia but am going over to New Delhi, India for my delivery soon. From all those experienced people, would like to know what are the immediate things i should buy and take to India which may not be available in India for my baby and me which i may be needing for the first 3 months. I know most of the things will be available though. If anyone has ideas, pls let me know. Thanks in advance. :) surabhi replied. hi rita,
well the list given by geeth is quite exhaustive and comlete.. i would like to add only one more thing.. buy a good motorized or battery operated breast pump... u dont get good quality of those in india... and sometimes( though i hope that is not the case with you) it takes time to stimulate milk flow..and a good breast pump is very helpful. if u buy a manual one..it will take hours to pump out 2-3 onz of milk.. a battery operated one works much faster...

hp everything goes well for u... dont forget to post a message after u deliver... we wud lov to know if its a boy or girl...
tkcare geeth replied. i will write what r the things i took..u will get everything there..but i dunt feel comfortable to shop in india .i first bought loots of facial tissues
for baby - baby's first outfit with mittens ,socks n cap(if u plan to take pics buy attractive outfit)
nappy clothes-20 pieces
burp clothes-5
bath towel-3(i use nappy cloth as bath towel bcuz itz gud cotton absorbs water nicely n soft)
sweater
disposable diapers small 5 large packs(in india itz expensive)
wrap towel -3
plastic sheet - 1
rough use baby dress 4
baby fully covered dress - 3
socks -4
diaper disposal covers - 3 packs
baby powder,creams,lotion(j&j or sebamed)
baby detergent powder
feeding bottle -1,bottle cleaning brush-1
i think the above r more than enough.
for mom -pack ur hospital kit eithet b4 or after going to india.itz always wise to pack it earlier when i complete 7 months or even b4.
hosp kit consists-3 nighties,inner garments,sanitary napkins with belt,soap,shampoo,comb,powder,detergent soap,some waste clothes to clean messsup in room(in some hosp they ask clothes after delivery to clean our labor bed n us)
dunt forget to pack a shawl or anything to cover while breastfeeding
a chappal
a dress for u cuz probably u may b leaving frm home to hosp with dirty dress if u are in labor
finally b4 leaving hosp dunt forget to take ur camera's n flim rolls
all the best for u n i wish u to become a wonderful mom to ur lil one soon
