1. Advice On Travelling With A Newborn Baby
It may sound daunting, but travelling with a newborn baby does not have to be
a nightmare! A little preparation and forward planning is all you need for a
successful trip with your tiny traveller.
There are certain supplies that are essential for any trip with your baby. The
most important, of course, is enough food and milk for the journey. Always
pack more than you think you'll need and include plenty of finger foods if your
baby is old enough -- these are great for helping to keep him occupied! If you
are breastfeeding and need to express milk, you can store it in a cooler, with
ice, for up to 24 hours. You can also store bottles of pre-made formula in the
same way -- alternatively, you can add pre-measured powdered formula to the
bottles, then top it up with cooled, boiled water as required.
Another option when travelling with a newborn baby is to bring "ready to drink"
cartons of formula. Whilst ideal for the journey itself, be aware that you may
not be allowed to take these cartons with you into certain countries. Sealed
containers of formula do not normally present a problem.
Solid foods can be packed into a cooler, although a better idea is to bring
foods with you that you can easily prepare during the journey. Avocado pears
and bananas are good examples, as they can be simply peeled, mashed and
served to your baby at room temperature.
Always bring your own feeding bowls and utensils when travelling with baby -
many eating establishments do not have cutlery appropriate for an infant's
use. A travel high chair is incredibly useful, too -- and means that you can
comfortably feed your baby wherever you go. Disposable bibs, or a wipe-clean
plastic bib, can be very convenient when travelling and they certainly cut down
on the laundry!
If you ask for food or milk to be warmed for you, be VERY careful to check the
temperature on its return. Busy waiters or cabin crew may overheat the food

or milk to be warmed well before you're actually going to need it!
Many parents worry about how to sterilise feeding equipment when travelling
with baby. There are many products available to assist with this, from
microwave steriliser bags to disposable bottle liners. Most stores dealing with
infant feeding equipment will offer a range of travelling accessories such as
these.
Other essential items for your trip will include nappies/diapers and scented
diaper bags. If you're heading to a warm destination, adequate sun protection
is a must! Also, consider bringing a small nightlight - if you're breastfeeding, it
can be very useful in a dark, unfamiliar hotel room.
To help your baby cope with the trip and to reassure him in new surroundings,
be sure to bring his favourite blanket. This can also serve as a handy "curtain"
to shield an aeroplane sky cot/bassinet from the light, or for naps in his stroller
when out and about.
Dress your baby in light layers when travelling -- not only does this make it
easier to cope with fluctuating temperatures, but if your baby spills his food,
for example, you can easily remove the top layer of clothing. Bring a change
of clothes for yourself, too -- baby's mess tends to have a habit of transferring
itself to his parents!
In conclusion, travelling with a newborn baby should be an enjoyable occasion
and by taking a few easy precautions it most certainly should be. Enjoy your
trip!
