The Baby Travel Check List! Traveling With Baby

Traveling with babies once a year or five times a day requires equal amount of attention. There is not a single piece of necessity that you can forget. Children get tired easy, don’t have a set bathroom schedule and have a tendency to get hungry and spoil their clothes at the worst times. It is wise to make a check list when you are traveling with baby to make sure you don’t miss out on anything.

Traveling With Baby: Hygiene Comes First

This is the most important part of the check list. You will need diapers, diaper bag, disposable changing pad, plastic bags and a diaper cream. Given the climate of the place you are going to, there is a chance that your baby might develop a rash or some other skin irritation. Therefore it is extremely important to keep different brands of diapers with you just in case something happens.

You might also be stuck at an international exchange longer than expected. Also keep a lot of wet wipes, not only for the baby but also for yourself. Accidents happen all the time when travelling with babies, and you will be thankful then if you do not find a tap with water. Keep a hand sanitizer with you at all times as you will need it more often than you think. Always keep a variety of clothes for your child to change in to, because traveling with babies mean a lot of costume changes.

Traveling With Baby: On The Go

Always keep an extra sweater or blanket with you because you never know how cold it might get. Sudden temperature drops are a must when travelling by plane. You will need to pack really smart as most of the luggage will be occupied by the baby’s items. While travelling through plane you will have a weight problem, which is why you should pack the baby food separately and store it in the compartment above your head especially if the child is on a special diet. You should also pack the diapers and wet tissues in your bag in case you need them urgently. When traveling through car, you need to find easily packable strollers that double as a car seat so it saves you space. Some strollers even come with special storage space.

Traveling With Baby: Food And Medicines

Your child will be spending a lot of his energy than usual, so he or she is bound to get hungry on the way. Pack the baby food and liquids smartly and pack enough to last you 2 days more than what you plan. Keep the food in Zip-loc bags which are also ideal for dirty clothes, snacks, clean bottles, dirty bottles etc… always carry a thermometer and check for all the pharmacies in your area before travelling.

Traveling With Baby: Entertainment

If you don’t have a backseat entertainment set then make sure you load their favorite music, TV shows, and cartoons on your tablets or phones and also have a long list of road activities planned, they come in handy.
