Travelling to Pakistan with 8month old

[NewMummyyy]

Hi everyone.

Needed some tips pls. Took my 4 month old to Turkey in August and she was fine. Bearing in mind it was quite hot. We had breaks in our room with AC on and she was ok. Slight temperature when we came back but otherwise all ok.

My husband wants to go Pakistan in December when baby will be 8 months. She’ll be having her own food and milk & I’ll be careful to sanitise her bottles etc. just wondered if anyone has travelled to Pakistan with their little ones? Any tips? I’m thinking as she’s been on holiday somewhere hot she may be ok with this trip too? It’ll be their cold season. Others have commented saying I’m being “brave” to take her to Pakistan. Just feeling doubtful :(

Not been to Pakistan, but have travelled to the Middle East with similarly aged children and it was fine. It's honestly a better age to travel with them than the toddler years when they don't want to sit still.

@PuttingOnTheKitsch Thank you, that’s reassuring. Did your child get poorly once they were back in the country?

Don’t want to be alarmist but I read an article yesterday (Guardian I think) about antibiotic resistant typhoid in some parts of Pakistan. The South I think. I would read all Foreign Office advice and maybe think about vaccinations etc first. 8 months is still very small and vulnerable.

@MotherOfCatBoy Not at all. I did not know this. Thank you for making me aware. I will definitely be checking all advice.

Great. I didn’t want to sound patronising. But if it were me I’d rather know and be prepared!

@MotherOfCatBoy Absolutely! Better to be safe than sorry. Thanks again.
