Things to take from Europe/US for Indian mom/babies

HopefulNisha · Nov 26, 2013

Hi all,

Both my sis and sil are pregnant and will deliver in a few months. I am planning to visit them (one of them during delivery) and one before delivery. Please let me know the list of items which should be taken from here(US). For eg: I know here we get perfume free wet wipes..which is not common in the place we live in India. I am looking for such needy items rather than gifts.. both for mummy and baby. Please pour in your suggestions.

Cloth diapers here are really good.
Lansinoh cream for the nursing mothers.
The cloth diaper pins are also nice.
The onsies that you get for babies are nice here.
The first aid kit that one gets for babies is useful (check out what's inside before buying - includes things like nail cutters etc)
The soft comb for babies are really good.
If you have space, a boppy pillow
Some people like the feeding bottles.

Last year i got below items for my SIL and my husband's friend wife -

1. Feeding bottles and nipples (for all sizes, she is still using)
2. Pacifier and teether - we do not get good quality in India
3. Bibs
4. Medela pump ( for my SIL as she has twins and it was difficult to feed her two kids)
5. Some winter clothes (they were very warms and we got very good deals in black friday)
6. Thermometer (to read from ears)...
