You are playing your parenting part very well but as you are a new parent so this is not possible to be perfect in all things. Hence don’t worry; I am here to help you out with my traveling tips for your baby which will help you to pack all the important stuff. Without wasting time let’s move on to discuss the traveling tips.

We have to pack many things related to our toddlers, so I have categorized the packing parts which will clear your all doubts.

Firstly we will talk about the packing tips for infants and toddlers.

Packing for babies is too difficult. As a parent, we have to know which things are essential for our babies during the traveling time. Here I have prepared one list which will surely help you while packing for your baby. I first time traveled with my baby when he was 6 months old on a train. My experience was not too good at packing his things. I packed his all stuff in such a way that they all crumbled with each other. However, my second experience of baby traveling packing was too good which I am going to share with you. have a look:

Selection of bag: The very first thing while packing is the selection of a bag for your baby. Keep a separate bag for them. Don’t mix your stuff with his things. Select the bag which has so many partitions and small pockets so that you can categorize his different things in a separate pocket. The separation will help you in avoiding confusion.

How to pack: Organize the needy things in such a way that you get them easily. If there are no pockets in a bag you can make pouches. Keep his different kinds of stuff in the pouches so that they can be easily available.

What to pack: This is a big question that what to pack. It is advised you pack according to the climate. You can check the weather forecast of that particular area which will help you to pack your clothes. You don’t have to take a number of winter and summer clothes if you will know about the climate of the place you are going to.

Toys: Don’t forget to pack your favorite toy. Might you and your partner is busy enjoying something which he didn’t like. At that time you can busy him with his favorite stuff so that he doesn’t get bored.

Baby Diapers: Make sure that you have kept the extra diapers with you because we don’t know about the baby’s health. The sudden change of place and climate can lead to loose motions in the baby in which we need so many diapers.

Medicines

This is a very important thing to carry. Don’t forget to keep the baby medicines with you. Ask the basic medicines from your doctors so that you can give them while traveling if they need them. If you have proper medicine prescribed by pediatrics then you don’t have to rush to the doctor at a strange place.

Skincare packing

I can add this point in the packing tips section but I want to highlight the skin care tips for baby while travelling. As we all know that the skin of a baby is very sensitive and we cannot compromise with it at any cost. So, you have to take care of this thing very carefully. Check out the essential thing to do while packing for baby skin care:

Don’t forget to keep hand sanitizer for the baby with you. It is not always possible while traveling that you get water to wash your hands. So, just to stay hygienic with your baby you can use hand sanitizer to avoid germs.

Don’t forget to pack baby’s moisturizer, sunscreen if it is sunrays there, rashes cream to avoid rashes from diapers or heat, his separate shampoo, body wash, oil, and many other baby cosmetics which you use on daily basis.

Try to carry the small packs of cosmetics which will be easily adjustable I the luggage. If you have large packing then you can take them in small portions in some other small bottles as much as you need for the trip.

Foods and feeding

As you all know that foods and feeding things for a baby are very essential. While packing things we normally forget to make a different packing for food. We think that food is a very common thing and we can get them easily at any place. But always keep in mind that outside food is not good for the baby. We should always prefer homemade foods for them to avoid many allergies and germ foods. Have a look at baby food packing for traveling:

If your baby is below six months then try to breastfeed him as much as you can. If it is not possible while traveling then you can use formula milk. Carry your milk powder with you in stock.

Carry the extra feeding bottles, thermos, and sterilizer to maintain hygiene.

If your baby is above six months then you can make much homemade food or healthy foods for him. Baked potato chips, taal makhana, biscuits, puffed rice.
