Any Tips on Bringing my Baby to Manila?

[mrsSpitze 9]

Any tips regarding infant medications like creams and ointments to hand carry? Do I need to put them in a plastic bag during security check?

Does the baby diaper bag is allow to hand carry aside from your personal hand bag? I know I am allowed to have 1 hand carry luggage and then a personal hand bag.

Thanks again.

Just bring your regular diaper cream. Didn't have to bring any meds. Safe to put it in a zip lock.

Yep. The diaper bag is not counted against your regular carry-ons. However, I suggest that you just put your personal belongings in the diaper bag. That's how I did it. Oh and bring at least 3 change of shirt for you. You'll never know what will happen.

Florianns,

An adaptor will work just fine. I didn't need one on my first visit to Mindanao as my inlaws house was wired 120V just like here in the states.

Adapator sets are cheap and normally have 4-5 types to accomodate different countries requirements.

Cheers

Depends what pump your using. I have read reviews not to use the medela pump on an adaptor and on a diff voltage using a transformer etc because it does eventually ruin the wiring and effectivity of it. You can also call the company, medeLa wouldn't acknowledge the warranty if it broke overseas so i didn't risk it, it's added weight anyways so right now I have the manual pump which is so much less bulky but can still get milk. Just call the maker of your pump to make sure

Honestly, the flight itself isn't the hard part, it's departure and Arrival when you're going around the airport. Don't stress so much about it you'll be fine

I got Medela brand for my electric breast pump. That what I thought so could be a bit hassle to bring kind bulky as well the dual pump.

Thanks. Now I am thinking to have the manual pump.

Anyway, have a safe journey as well for you in 2 weeks.
