Ok, freaking out...

MyOwnLady · October 2010

I just posted that we are going to India. We will be going in December/January.

I. am. freaking. out....

There are soooooo many things that could go wrong...and I KNOW I will have to fight with MIL on "It's good enough for Indian babies, it's good enough for your baby." The water is really bad, so we'll have to bring a water purifier, and my FIL is saying that they have a crib, so I don't need to bring my PnP, but I will anyway, because the crib is probably painted with lead paint or has a number of other safety issues. Do I bring the stroller? I don't think we will need the car seat (he will be 8 months by then, and the cars go about 20mph in Kolkata). I'm worried about germs, so I will bring a gallon of hand sanitizer, and disposable changing pads, and we will have to boil water to wash him in...

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have a stroller/carseat combo? Bring that with you for sure!

I would be worried as well. But it sounds like you know exactly what to do.

When we went overseas, we skipped the stroller and just brought the Ergo. Best idea ever.

I'm confused as to why you don't think you need a carseat.

Why don't you need a car seat at 8 months?

We won't be traveling in the car except to and from the airport.

My DH is from Morocco and I'm worried about our first trip over, although looking forward to it too. DHs family is very well off and live well so it's not like they live in a slum or in the country where water isn't as good. Our pedi said though that we should wait until DS has had shots up to 1 year so that he's better protected.

I always thought that LO should be in a carseat no matter what amount of time you plan on spending in the car...guess I have been wasting my time putting my DD in a carseat to just run a quick errand. NOT. I would suggest that you take a carseat if you plan on traveling by automobile AT ALL, no matter the lenth or number of times you will be in it.....same with the speed, which was originally your justification for not taking the carseat. Not taking one is highly irresponsible. You wouldn't do it here (I hope) so why there?
