A Mom's Guide to Stress-Free Traveling with a Baby

0 comments

So, you've got a little one and an adventure on the horizon? Traveling with a baby might sound like a daunting task, but fear not! With a bit of planning and some insider tips, you can make the journey smooth sailing for both you and your bundle of joy. Here's my go-to guide for hassle-free travels:

Baby Wear for the Win: Strap on my favorite carrier, the Baby Bjorn carrier. It's a game-changer! Not only does it keep your hands free for juggling all the other stuff, but it also keeps your little munchkin snug and cozy while you breeze through the airport.

Prepare for Security: TSA lines can be intimidating, but with a baby in tow, you've got a golden ticket. Just make sure to have your baby's birth certificate handy for domestic flights and their passport for international ones.

Keep Those Ears Happy: Takeoff and landing can be tough on tiny ears. Help your baby out by nursing or offering a bottle during these times. This swallowing action can help equalize ear pressure and minimize discomfort.

Gate Check Bag Essentials: Get a gate check bag for the stroller and car seat, I love this Padded Car Seat Travel Bag for the airplane. They're lifesavers! Fill it up with diapers, wipes, and all the other must-haves for your little one.
Invest in a Great Travel Stroller: A reliable travel stroller can make all the difference in your journey. Consider options like the Doona Car Seat Stroller Combo for its convenience and versatility. Another excellent choice is the Bugaboo Butterfly, known for its compact design and smooth maneuverability. With the right stroller by your side, you'll be ready to explore the world with your little one in tow.

Entertainment Galore: Pack a few new toys or activities to keep your baby entertained during the flight. My top picks are the 3PCS Suction Cup Spinner Toys  for some mesmerizing fun,  the Mini Wooden Maracas for musical delights, and the  Infants Soft Activity Book  for interactive learning. For some extra fun, bring along the delightful Toco Can Can: and You Can Too! book
Store all these goodies in a convenient Navy Seersucker Backpack to keep everything organized and easily accessible throughout the journey. These toys and books will keep your little one engaged and happy throughout the journey.

Snack Attack:  For older babies or toddlers, snacks are your best friend. Load up on goodies like the Snack Spinner  for convenient access to a variety of treats, and don't forget to grab a Happy Snacker Cup to keep those munchies contained. As for my favorite snacks, I swear by these tasty options:
Don't forget to pack a silicone bib- I love this one (https://shoplittlebirdies.com/collections/dishware/products/toucan-play-that-game-catch-bib) to keep your little one clean and mess-free during snack time!

Score the Best Seats: If you're flying long-haul, snag seats in the bulkhead row for extra legroom. And don't forget to call ahead and request a bassinet for your little one—it's a cozy spot for some in-flight snoozing.

Dress Baby Comfy: Ensure your little one stays cozy throughout the journey by dressing them in comfortable attire. Opt for soft and stretchy footies like the [White Heart Balloon Footie](https://shoplittlebirdies.com/products/white-heart-balloon-footie?_pos=29&_sid=e6e7cda6a&_ss=r), the [Coco Print Footie with Ruffle](https://shoplittlebirdies.com/products/coco-print-footie-with-ruffle?_pos=32&_sid=e6e7cda6a&_ss=r), or the [Blue Gingham Footie](https://shoplittlebirdies.com/products/blue-gingham-footie?_pos=74&_sid=e6e7cda6a&_ss=r). Don't forget to pack extra outfits, like the cozy [Navy Knit Jogger with Hood](https://shoplittlebirdies.com/products/navy-knit-jogger-with-hood?_pos=105&_sid=e6e7cda6a&_ss=r), in case of any unexpected messes or temperature changes. Dressing your baby comfortably will ensure they stay happy and content throughout the journey.
