The Best Tips for Packing for a Trip with a Baby
Packing for a regular trip can be overwhelming… But throw a baby into the mix? That can seem insurmountable. Not to worry, though! I’ve been there, and after 11 countries and 68 flights with my baby, more than half of those as a single parent, I’ve got my best tips here for you. You can do this, you can love it, and you can make the memories you want to have with your little one. Packing should never deter you from travel! Here are the best tips for packing for a trip with a baby.
The Best Nursing Clothes for Traveling Moms
Let’s clear the air: Fed is best. I don’t have any opinions on your choice of breastfeeding or bottle feeding. We have done a mix of both, and I’m glad breastfeeding worked for me. Honestly, it was really convenient for travel. I mean, it’s like a magic trick to make my baby stop fussing when we fly. But I also have mom friends who bottle feed on flights and think that has to be more convenient than nursing. It’s all up to you. But if you’re like me, you need some good nursing gear for those travel days. So here they are: My best recommendations. Here are the best nursing clothes for traveling moms!
The Most Useful Winter Gear for Traveling Babies
Babies are happier overall when they get time outdoors. One problem: Winter. Parents (myself included), and particularly first-time parents, sometimes get too nervous about our babies getting cold. But, just like grown-up people, when you dress your baby for the weather, they’re perfectly fine! Another bonus of bundling your baby in winter? They are so cute in teeny tiny winter clothes! Here is the most useful winter gear I’ve found for traveling with my baby girl, Iris.
The Best Snacks for Babies and Toddlers on a Plane
I’m amazed at how many kid snacks are more like a bite of air, not a bite of food. Because my daughter can’t yet eat a burger or hold a pizza or fit a sandwich in her mouth, I definitely need to bring food for her on our flights. I can nurse her as needed, but at this point, she needs the extra nutrition and calories from solid foods. It was pretty challenging at first, because I wasn’t used to feeding a baby on the go. So, I’ve pulled together the best baby and toddler snacks on a plane!
