Default Coming to island with 5 month old son - looking for friends

Hello

I'm coming to the island with my son who will be nearly 5 months when we arrive. We are coming to visit his Bajan family and are staying for 10 weeks with a view to moving permanently at the end of the year.

We arrive in April and I would love to meet other expat women who have children.

I'm 28 and my partner is Bajan.

We'll be staying in St.James.

Let me know if you are able to meet for a drink/coffee/tea when I'm there.

Thanks

Fish xx

I use Dr Soo Ping Chow for my 2 girls, she is in the Specialist Centre, Blackrock. I can recommend her, number is 421 9598.

In Barbados they spread the jabs out more, they have them at 3 months then 4 1/2 and then 6 months but I am sure she will follow your red book for you. She used to work in the UK many years ago and is well aware of the system there.
