I guess the way to keep your baby healthy is to let him have access to clean drinking water and maybe you want to stay away from outside food for him. As for bathing in boiled water, I think it's not necessary :) Hi Mark, actually typhoid is not a common disease here, as my paed assured me.

He is too young to get the typhoid vaccination and the doctor also didnt want to give him the hep A one either. I didnt do enough research on this before booking the vacation to this part of the world. Im wondering if you have any tips on bathing the baby when you are not sure about the quality of the water supply? Ive got an image in my head of bathing him in bottled/boiled water but there has to be an easier way? You just cant keep him from sticking his hands in his mouth which I think is the main problem.

It's very important that everyone keeps good hygiene not only for the sake of the kids but themselves too. Yes thank goodness he has recovered.
