  1. OK  don't expose To strangers


  2. I think that if its your first time in India... dont take the baby..

  3. YA YOU CAN BUT UR DOCTOR WILL SAY NO BECAUSE OF HIGH ALTITUDE, SOMETIMES IT WILL BE UNCOMFORTABLE FOR BABIES BREATHING. ANYWAY IF YOU WANT TO GO TAKE TRAVELERS GUIDELINES FROM UR DOCTOR (THEY WILL SEND DETAILS LIKE VACCINES AND MALARIA TABLETS AS PRECAUTIONS)AND FEED BABY ONLY MOTHERS MILK or FORMULA WITH GOOD MINERAL WATER. AND IT IS SAFE TO HAVE MINERAL WATER FOR MOM AND BABY. AND TAKE  THERMOMETER BABY CREAMS AND SHAMPOO AND ALL MEDICINES FOR THE BABY LIKE FEVER COLD AND MOSQUITO BITE ERASERS ETC YOU WILL FIND IN WALL MART. AND BE SURE TO HAVE COOLER, MOSQUITO NET AND MOSQUITO BAT AND REPELLENTS BEFORE U GO. TAKE PLENTY OF DIAPERS AND WIPES AND DIAPER RASH CREAM . AND MOST IMP IS ALWAYS GIVE  BABY ONLY FOR CLEAN HANDS. AND THEN U WILL HAVE GREAT TIME TELLING WITH MY EXPERIENCE.. BYE

  4. Yes it is safe

  5. it is safe if u take the mandatory preventions, i don't know about vaccinations, but yes as someone said mineral water is the best way to protect the baby. u r going for a marriage, so u will be provided with safe lodging, of course, plus takes loads of diapers, coz i guess u won't like the ones there, take a lot of cream for the baby and urself. but most of all u should ask your wife if she's comfortable with the baby, because that is of prime importance too, don't overlook it, i think she'll be too exhausted with the marriage and the baby, but if u insist, take the connecting flight from London (as someone said before) its better for the baby and her. yeah i agree with the dust particles, its harmful and the baby can develop allergies or even asthma. but definitely ask about the vaccinations part, check the link below for details. i really don't think u should go, but is it's a close relative or something, which is inevitable (i know i was in India, for a long time for that!), then u can catch up with ur quick visit, it's always refreshing! best of luck!! tell me if u need any more help, ask a doctor too!!

  6. It is safe 2 take ur baby.U better prevent pollutin and risky andtime taking journeys.it is safe if u take the mandatory preventions, i don't know about vaccinations, but yes as someone said mineral water is the best way to protect the baby. u r going for a marriage, so u will be provided with safe lodging, of course, plus takes loads of diapers, coz i guess u won't like the ones there, take a lot of cream for the baby and urself. but most of all u should ask your wife if she's comfortable with the baby, because that is of prime importance too, don't overlook it, i think she'll be too exhausted with the marriage and the baby, but if u insist, take the connecting flight from London (as someone said before) its better for the baby and her. yeah i agree with the dust particles, its harmful and the baby can develop allergies or even asthma.

  7. No, I have heard that indans eat babys.

  8. Personally I would not take a baby to India. Not old enough to travel, especially this far. If you must, may I suggest breaking up the flight by going to London first and staying there a day before making the 12 hour flight to India? Otherwise the flight from the USA to India is going to be very uncomfortable for the baby.

  9. not in summer, pink winter is the best for infant. mid december in MP is not bad idea. use only mineral water to feed him.
