[quote=Anonymous]What part will you be staying in?

A lot depends on if you'll be in a city or if you'll be in rural area.  In cities, there is no problem finding grocery stores with plenty of snacks such as biscuits (tea cookies) for your child to snack on.  I never worried about the washed dishes, your best bet would be to just dry it off with a towel.  Take a couple rolls of paper towels, it will be easier.  I think washing in boiled water is overkill, most homes have water filters.  Bottled water is fine.  Just make sure the bottle is sealed.

A mattress on the floor will work if you're absolutely opposed to co-sleeping.  The beds are low to the ground anyway, so your child would be arm's distance.

I always take anti-malarials before going and while there.

If your eating at your in-law's just ask them to make a small amount without chili's for the child.  Rice, naan, roti, daal, yogurt, veggies are all aplenty there.  Does your child not eat any of that here? 
When out order things like plain dosa or plain rice with ghee.  Stick to hotel restaurants since this is your first time there with your kid.

We never had many issues with the time change beyond the first day.  After that the kids are so busy meeting relatives and doing activities that they stay up late and their body got used to it quickly.  Coming back has usually been harder.  Here our day's are more routine and the time change effects our normal routine more.

It's not really very hard, it's just a matter of adjustment.
