So i have come to learn that buying baby stuff here is very difficult. Not to mention the fact that I can't read any of it. It took me a couple of weeks to be able to find the organic baby food. So check found it. Of course it is twice the price of the baby food in the States. They don't have the formula I use here. So I am having David's parents ship some over. Fingers crossed I actually get it. I tried to go online and order stuff from Amazon but they don't deliver here and the European Amazon doesn't have the stuff I need. So yay me! Owen is at the stage that he can start eating the yogurt melt aways and cheerios. Besides getting him ready for bigger food this helps with his fine motor skills, to be able to pick up the small item and make it to his mouth. Well guess what; they don't have either here. I can understand the yogurt melts but cheerios. Seriously. Even a comparable option they don't have. I am a bit bummed by this.
Some other differences:
- wipes come in small packages and of course are more expensive
- I have to buy a monitor here because the adapter and voltage difference; and of course it is more expensive than the one I bought in the US and it is the SAME monitor
- they have water bottled specifically for babies here. Not sure what that is about. I mean isn't bottle water bottle water?
These are what I have noticed so far. And soon I will have to purchase a high chair and possibly a smaller stroller. So all in all what I have learned is that I will need to take out a loan to raise a child in Moscow.
