Hi, I'm moving to Geneva (next week!) with my 12 week old dd, and DH.
If anyone has lived there, or is living there, and can answer some questions for me I'd be very grateful!
First, baby shopping - do they have any equivalent of John Lewis-type department store for baby furniture. In cost and quality?
I'll be needing to buy a full-size cot, and a highchair, within two months of arriving. Should I buy them in the UK before we go, and have them shipped with my stuff, or is there plenty of choice to buy things like that there? Will a wooden cot be more expensive in Switzerland?
Also, does anyone know if Swiss baby vaccinations follow the same schedule they do here? My dd will be due her four-month jabs shortly after we arrive.
Are pampers more expensive there? And other baby toiletries? Is there anything I can't get, or is difficult to find, that I should stock up on before I leave? (ie. infant calpol, infacol/gripe water, etc)
And any general advice on living in Geneva with a baby? I'm hoping to tap into some baby groups in the expat community (don't speak much French, yet), but that could take a while...
Thank you!
