Need some advice

MrsRonMrsRon
in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

I'm due in March with my first baby.  Shortly after the baby is born, he/she and I will be traveling overseas to meet DH while he's getting his Master's Degree.  We'll be spending about 3 months in India and 3 months in the UAE.  We'll be flying of course.  I'm trying to figure out what I should buy in the way of accessories.  What's absolutely necessary?  What's easy to travel with?  I'm toying with not buying a stroller because I'm a little paranoid about my baby being kidnapped overseas.  If I just wear him/her, I think I'll feel more comfortable.
Anyway, knowing what you know now about being a new mom, what should I get?

    I didn't fly overseas but I did fly when LO was about 2 months.  If you do take a stroller I would get a snap and go so you can have the car seat with you.  I wouldn't want to check it because I would be afraid it would be damaged.  You could also bring a sling so you could wear the baby when you are in any areas you are not confortable with. 

    I would recommend if your husband is there having him look for used baby items for when you get there.  I would recommend a bouncer and a travel bed at least.   There is a lot more that would be nice to haves but that would get you by.

    A sling or wrap is the best for airline travel with a small baby. I speak from experience! I wore my 4-month old is a sling for a 9 hr trip from Rome to NY.

    I would definitely get a baby carrier like a bjorn or something.

    Also, maybe get a few of these if you're FFing.

    We use Playtex Drop-Ins, which would be nice in your situation. You won't have to worry about washing too many parts. Buy extra nipples no matter what bottles you get.

    I have an extra diaper bag if you want me to send it to you--you can just pay shipping. It's a one-arm backpack bag--mainly black with a little lime green on it. That might be nice--more out of the way than a bulky one.

    PM me if you want it and I can get it in the mail tomorrow. Then I'll contact you again with how much shipping cost.
