Hi all,
My baby is now 7 months old and is travelling to India for the first time. I am excited and nervous.Don't know how much food to carry, diapers.Is there any bottled food available in India?And I have heard there r good diapers too.Can anyone give me more suggestions on things that i must carry (including medicines).
Also, my baby has been totally breast fed till 6 months and then i started solid food...she takes two servings of solids a day. The problem is that doesn't take a bottle or a sipper, she doesn't like formula and she is very moddy about solid food too.I am still breast feeding but the supply is very low. How will i survive this long journey and the three months in India!!!Does anyone have any suggestions??
Thanks,
Shub sudha replied. Yes me too have the same question.
Is pnumoccocal vaccine available in india.
As doc said its given at 7 months, while I will be in India. Sajnie replied. If you get baby rice from store, you can mix it with your milk/water and can give that for baby. And try to boil vegetables without adding salt and puree it using a blender.
And about the diapers, I think you can buy that from India also. It will be difficult to carry all the diapers for three months. It is very fine that you are still breast feeding, but try to give her solid food also. I think she will like the pureed vegeatables and baby rice. I don't think you should give her bottled food in India. You can prepare your own home made food as I said above.
And I have been heard that Fennel is good for increasing breast milk.

Have a happy journey. Poonam replied. Why to depend upon bottle food, you can make at home whatever you want to give your child. Just boil vegetale with little water and blend without salt or sugar. Babies are not fussy but they want different food every time. Bananas are handy as well as hygenic and healthy food for babies. They like this very much. I suggest that you should carry diapers with you. Don´t worry , you may start giving her bottle now. Ask someone else in your family to give her bottle, not you as babies recognise her mother´s smell.
All the best.
