Cradle crib bedding for 3 month old in India, recommendations? traveling from US for

cooks2010 · Feb 20, 2014

Hello, I am in US at the moment and my baby sleeps in a crib from IKEA. I am going to India for a month and was looking online at available sleeping options for the baby. I realize many parents in India co-sleep, but I am interested in purchasing a cradle for the baby to sleep in.

The ones I saw online are from mee mee, motherhood, nataraj etc... I am not familiar with these companies. Does anyone have any recommendations? Also, all of them have mosquito nets, do people use them?

Not sure how the baby will react being enclosed in a mosquito net thing, since here the baby sleeps in a big open crib.

Any suggestions appreciated.

I'm sorry I don't know about cots in india. However some other info that might help...

Citronella patches are available online which are supposed to be quite effective against mosquitoes. I haven't tried them myself but I heard from a friend that you stick the patch to the child's clothing and poof! No nasty bites. Just buy some before you go to India. That should take care of the net.

Cooks, I have no idea about cribs/bedding in India. When we went there, I co-slept with my DD. However, for mosquitoes, there is an infant safe cream called odomos, which worked really well to ward off mosquitoes.
