Being a new mom is daunting enough, but travelling as a new mom is even more overwhelming. Especially if you are travelling by yourself. However, it doesn’t need to be a mammoth task. Along with a little calm and planning and some added creativity you and your baby can enjoy your journey to the fullest.
Here are 5 tips that will make your journey fun!
Pack smart
Be practical with your hand luggage, don’t over stuff it. Remember, always pack extra clothes, you may never know when you will need it, especially for the baby. So, how do you pack without having clothes falling out of your bag? Simple, pack them in zip-lock bags and release all the air out of it to reduce its size. If you or your baby accidentally spill something on your clothes, you can use the zip-lock to put away your messy clothes. Also, pack extra toys or use the items in your environment to keep the little one occupied.
Keep diapers and wet wipes handy
Don’t end up destroying your neatly packed bag to find the baby wipes and diapers. Carry a small canvas bag which fits into your handbag and has all your baby essential. The changing pad or the liner is an essential item, especially on a flight, but it’s bulky. Moreover, you could try the double diaper technique. Put on two diapers, one over the other and avoid the baby from feeling uncomfortable.
Travel toys for post- nap time
When flying, try to book your tickets that fall between your baby’s nap time and bedtime, making it easier to travel. Also, choose seats near the window and the engine the motion makes the baby fall asleep faster. Plus, when the plane is taking off or landing feed your baby or give them a pacifier, as it reduces the pressure on their ears.
Carry your baby’s favourite toys
Carrying their favourite toys or blanket or stuffed animal, it provides them comfort in a new place. It gives them a sense of familiarity.
Carry a stroller with you
Even though you have to check it in, having a stroller is a big help when navigating airports and pit stops along the way, when you are in a car. Also, you can store all your baby essentials in it while travelling
