Would it be a completely crazy idea to travel (relocate) to Malaysia from USA with a 1-month old baby?

I would rather not leave the US, but it would be business related.

A 1-month old baby's health is still vulnerable, and I dont think Malaysia has the best health care system... So I 'd wait a bit if I were you

I've recently moved from the States to Kuala Lumpur and I can tell you that if your move is business related it will take at least 3 months for everything to be finalized. We got word that we would be moving here back in October but we didn't actually make the move until February. There are several options for healthcare but you should really confirm with the company what your benefits will be especially with a child. If any doubts you can contact the WHO ( world health organization) to find out more about doctors in the area that you will be staying in. What I've found is that most health care providers are mostly educated elsewhere and return to Malaysia with their skills so there is no need to be concerned whether or not the care you will receive will be subpar to what's in the States. Malays care very much about the welfare of their children. So if you are adventerous and this will help further your career, your family will fit right in here, there are numerous ex-pats living in Malaysia, I meet someone new everyday I walk my dog ( which I brought with me from the States). Plus there are different organizations available to join for expats. Check out www.expatkl.com for a lot of information regarding relocation, Hope you decide to come, it will definitely be an experience you won't regret.

I'm concerning about the 1-month old baby, anyway it's not safe to travel with him/her. Shall consider about the baby's health.
