TIPS FOR TRAVELING WITH INFANTS: MAKE BABY TRAVEL EASY!

When it comes to traveling with infants, it’s best to consult with your doctor before booking any flights, as it’s not recommended to travel until your babies have had their immunity vaccines and are fit and healthy, which is different for every baby.

Some babies are fit to travel within 6 weeks (usually only domestic flights), whereas some doctors recommend to wait until they are 3-6 months old, so it’s really important you discuss your travel plans with your doctor before doing anything else.

Plan Ahead & Pick An Appropriate Destination

Look up whether there are any security risks, if there are any air-born diseases going around, and make a decision about whether it’s worth it.

Consider Your Personality

Perhaps start off slow, with short trips away so you can test it. The last thing you want to do is put time, energy and money into a travel experience and hate it.

Consider Your Baby’s Personality

If they’re a bit cranky and love a bit of structure and routine they may not be so suited.

Pack Wisely

Don’t forget to pack their favorite toys or comfort item to keep them entertained.
