Birth pangs, sleepless nights, changing diapers, feeding etc takes a toll on Mother’s health. There has to be a nice getaway for the family to break the monotony and better bonding between husband and wife. Traveling with an infant is not easy.

It is better to travel by car or train rather than air unless otherwise necessary. Consult your doctor before you do an air travel. Car travel is more comfortable as you can be flexible for the infant. To make your getaway pleasant with your infant, here are some important carry away things.

  1. Car seat – If you are travelling by car, make sure that the car seat is fitted properly at the back seat and the infant is belted.
  2. Ear plugs – If you are travelling by air ( with your doctor’s consent), make sure to put cotton plugs in baby’s ears. Bottle feed her during take off or landing. This will keep her away from pressure in ears.
  3. Diapers–  Carry total diapers based on 6 diapers per day
  4. Milk – Powered milk or tetrapacks to provide the little one in urgency
  5. Blanket and little pillow – To enable infant sleep comfortably anywhere, carry a blanket and little pillow
  6. Bibs– Useful anywhere and everywhere even till the age of 5
  7. Wet tissues – These are very helpful and handy to make you and your baby comfortable as you don’t need water to wipe off that sticky sweet mouth.
  8. Burp cloth – You can keep it on shoulder in length under your little one’s chin while helping her burp.
  9. Antiseptic solution – A quick wash of little one’s clothes if dirtied with stool or pee, and a rinse with the antispeptic solution will help
  10. Soap and towel – Don’t forget the baby soap and a pair of towels as you never know when you need them
  11. Medicines– Carry medicines for fever, cold and cough, loose motions, nasal drops and diarrhea
  12. Mosquito net – Ensure to carry this to avoid asny mosquito bites to the little one in parks or gardens
  13. Bottle washing brush– Take along this with soap. If you have not got a sterilizer, don’t worry. You can still sterilize using geyser’s or running hot water by filling bottles with it and then covering with nipples and cover
  14. Plastic sheet – This is useful when you want your baby to be free from diaper for a while.
  15. Cookies – If your little one is 6 months old, you can carry cookies to blend with milk to feed her
