[quote=Anonymous]Do you have a baby right now? You may feel differently about serious health and safety issues once you become a Mom. It's seriously scary to think about losing a child. Where and what time of the year will this be? Monsoon season is dangerous mostly due to contaminated water and malaria so even if you are home you and you baby could get ill. If you are nursing you can't take anti- malarials so that puts you at risk too. At a minimum your child needs MMR and polio vaccines two months in advance of leaving. Our DC at 9 months had horrible jet lag which made the trip a nightmare. He woke up to play at 3 am for a week! I would wait until your child is older and either pay for family to visit you or get them a web cam and Skype. At 5 months a baby doesn't even sit up yet, will be teething and wont bond well with strangers. For all of those reasons it's a bad idea. [/quote]
