[quote=Anonymous]My DH is also from India and we took our DD when she was 6 months old to Bangalore.  No big deal - don't listen to the alarmists.  I was breastfeeding and brought along cereal and enough jars of baby food to last the month that we were there.  She was absolutely fine.  Also, there ARE top-notch hospitals and doctors there - many returned from the UK or US after years practicing there.  There is a huge medical tourism industry there and the facilities and quality of care are amazing - if you have the $$.

Just be aware that EVERYONE will want to touch your baby, even strangers on the street.  They mean well, but you'll have to try to prevent it.

DD is now 10 and has been to India 5 times.  She's never had anything more serious than a cold there.  She loves going and it is an invaluable experience for her to spend time with her grandparents, aunts/uncles and cousins there. Also, we've taken her all over India - from north to south.

Good luck - I think it's important that these kids grow up learning about their heritage and feeling comfortable traveling to places like India.[/quote]
