Re: Please advice
Where is your sister's wedding?
Re: Please advice
is your sister getting married in Pakistan?
I will not want to spend Summer in Pakistan.. even though everyone in my family has UPS and backup generators, it's still very hot in Pakistan for a newborn baby!
I also intend to take my less than 6 months old baby to Pakistan but it will most probably in March and I will be back within a few weeks!
If you are comfortable with everything then go for it.. I have heard it's easier to go to Pakistan with an infant especially if you are breastfeeding than once they start solid.. it gets very tricky then!!
Re: Please advice
Yeah girls her wedding will be in pak it was going to be in july but due to ramzan starting early and it being too hot think it will be in easter! Do babies get same immunisation in pak as uk??

Re: Please advice
babies do get immunisation in pak-but since ive been here they are so damn confusing, seriously people here are thick...no offence. but whoever ive asked, is not really sure....and keeps telling me to ask someone else....i had all her immunusations done in uk.
the hepatitis immunisation is a must.
Re: Please advice
^ why are you asking "people"? you should just go to a trusted pediatrician and follow their advise.
Islamabad is a major city, i'm sure they have excellent hospitals that cover all of the necessary vaccinations.
The only difference i found between the vaccinations given here (Karachi) and Sydney is that they give the extra BCG & Measles shots here.
