Hi All,
I'm going to be in India for 3 months with my 1 year old. I'm really confused about a few things & will appreciate any guidance from you all.

Rt now Tanya is 11 months old & takes both formula & breast milk, but at 1 year i need to switch her to whole milk & il be leaving for india 20 days after that. Is it advisable to start her on whole milk & continue that in india or keep giving her formula till i'm back(she'll be 15 months old then).
I'm also in the weaning process rt now & my milk supply is pretty low now, w'd it help if i continue breast feeding her in india too or shd i wean her now itself, does BM help to keep kids free from health issues in india. lASTLY, WHICH KIND Of milk shd i use in india if i start her on whole milk here? & how can i carry whole milk to give to her during the journey? Il be going to Delhi.

W'd be glad if anyone can please help me w'h Any advice on planning for the trip & any other inputs you might have to keep my baby healthy during my stay there. Are there any items which u felt are absolutely necessary to take along. Do you plan to give mainly gerber food or home made food while in india & wt about the water. I'm not sure how much baby food shd i take along coz tanya does'nt eat it much anyways & also it'll occupy a lot of my luggage space.
Which airlines has good facilities for infants & toddlers. I'm planning on Emirates but have'nt confirmed as yet.

Thanks in advance
Rg priya replied. just take few cans of formula for first few days
then slowly start giving milk there
she is almost 1 year old
she will adjust slowly
so don't worry
continue breast feeding as much as possible

enjoy your trip
priya Nav replied. You can start her on Home-made food there.See if you get mineral water with floride or use tap water.Babies might fall sick due to climate, water etc changes (my son fell sick too) but eventually they will adjust and do fine.Just pack all you need. Geetha replied. Hi Rg,
I know its hard to take all u want from here for 3 months but u can take formula (made for babies 9 to 24 months) if u want until she adjusts to all the changes. Later if u need more, ask friends who r coming then to bring a few tins for u. Take few jars of gerber food too. Once she is adjusted well, u can give homemade dal, curd etc there in India. Always prepare food for her separately & make sure u use only boiled & cooled tap water for it. I don't know if it is good to give mineral water for 3 months? as it does not contain flouride which is very essential for babies at teething age. Be sure to pack all her medicines like Tylenol. Make sure she gets all her shots in time. Don't worry she will do just fine & u'll have a wonderful time there! rk replied.
As your baby is now one year there is not much to worry. Though few things keep in mind. if possible continue breast milk it surely helps and increases immunity. If possible give only gerber food . carry along with you as much as you can. Water is a big issue there . You can use mineral water but do not forget to boil it. I suggest you carry formula at least for one month and after if someone is coming you can ask for the same. use mosquito net at least for the baby. Carry all the medicines. Keep your doctors phone no. too. I went to india when my baby was in her first half of the year. She could not adjust and we had to shorten our trip. just keep in mind not to give homemade food as they use tap water for cooking.

all the best for your trip and love to tanya
