During the trip it is essential that the baby feels comfortable, so your clothes are very important. Baby travel clothing includes at least two pieces of clothing for each day of travel.
In winter, the baby needs at least two layers of clothes to feel warm and cozy, so you can wear a body that covers the arms and legs can be a great help because then just put a blanket on top, covering Whole body.
In warmer places, with temperatures equal to or above 24ºC, a single layer of clothing, preferably cotton, will suffice, being very important to protect the baby from the sun.
What to pack in the suitcase to travel with baby
In the baby's suitcase you should have:
| 1 or 2 pacifiers | Baby documents |
| 1 or 2 blankets | Garbage bag for car or plane |
| Baby bottle, powdered milk and warm water | Thermometer |
| Baby ready meals, spoon and cup | Saline |
| Water | Toys |
| Napkins + wet wipes | Hat, sunscreen and insect repellent |
| Disposable bibs, if possible | Medications prescribed by the pediatrician |
| Disposable diapers + diaper rash cream | Baby's clothes, shoes and socks |
In addition to this list, it is important to do everything possible for the baby to sleep well the night before the trip, to reduce excitement and stress and thus be able to travel smoothly.
Some travel destinations may require special vaccinations, so consult your pediatrician before traveling.
To travel with the baby in the car, use the car seat
Using the car seat is the first precaution that parents or caregivers should take when driving with the baby. The seat must be suitable for the age and size of the baby and the baby must remain attached to the seat with the seat belts of the chair itself throughout the journey.
On the trip, take breaks every 3 hours to rest your baby's back, feed him and keep him comfortable. The trip with the baby in the car should be made, if possible, during the night so that the baby can sleep as long as possible, because that way it is not necessary to stop so often.
Never leave the baby in the car alone even for a short time, because if the weather is hot the car can heat up very quickly waking up or suffocating the baby.
How to take a smooth plane ride with the baby
To travel with the baby by plane it is important to 'unclog' the baby's ear when taking off and landing the plane. To do this, make the baby swallow by offering the bottle with milk, juice or water or even a pacifier the moment the plane takes off or lands.
If the trip is long, you should ask the pediatrician for advice on the possibility of offering some natural tranquilizer for the baby to make the plane trip more smooth.
The newborn baby's travel by plane should be avoided, as he is still very fragile and can easily get infections due to being locked up on the plane for a long time. See what is the most suitable age for the baby to travel by plane.
To travel by plane with the baby, take a new toy or videos of the painted chicken to entertain him during the trip. For babies older than 1 year, the tablet with games is also a good option.
Traveling with the sick baby requires care
To travel with the sick baby, it is important that the doctor is advised and advises the best care, especially if the disease is contagious to know when it can be the safest stage of the disease to make the trip.
Take a note of the dose, medication schedule and the pediatrician's phone number and advise all travel companions about the baby's condition, especially if the baby is allergic to any food or substance.
Another important tip for traveling with a baby is to take the stroller or kangaroo, which can also be called a sling, which is a kind of cloth baby carrier, recommended for babies with a maximum of 10 kg, to be able to carry the baby anywhere.
