Baby products craved by expat moms in India?
March 8, 2013 4:13 PM Subscribe
I'm visiting some expat friends in India who are on baby girl #2. What baby products (from high end, organic products to anything purchasable on amazon) do Western moms living in India miss the most / absolutely cannot find in India?
This couple already has one older child (1.5yo) and a nanny, so I'm sure they already have most of the products they'll need. But I would love to bring them a gift for their new baby as well as a gift for the 1.5yo toddler that they'd never be able to get in India. Some ideas are:
A collection of the most loved American children's board books?
Some beautiful dresses from Janie and Jack? (are super high end baby dresses hard to find in India, or do they have Janie & Jack there?)
I would love any and all ideas, especially from parents who recently lived or are still living in India.

I have never lived in India but when I lived in Germany I was my mother's personal supplier for Penaten cream, and she supplied all her German friends. It is a diaper rash treatment. I do not know of anything similar available elsewhere.

Seconding Nosefrida (aka the SNOTSUCKER). Those crafty Swedes!
Maybe some zip up onesies?

babyoye.com is a big on-line Indian baby store, if that helps. You can at least get an idea of some of what's on the market there.

They don't have Janie and Jack in India. Their spring/summer clothes and accessories would be a good choice. Also, nice personalized quality bath wraps.
