How about travel with your baby
“Having a baby would not prevent us from travelling” this is what both of us as parents decided even before getting pregnant.
Our motto is “go everywhere you can afford” it is the best thing you can offer to your children and to yourselves. Experiences worth than anything else. So our family trips are the best!
So we started our outings since his 3 months. But this going to be the first time we are going with him for two day trip. I know its gonna be challenging and I am fully prepared with his stuff, so in order to miss nothing at the my end, I started packing his thing since Friday morning little by little. This time we are going to Nikko, it is about 100kms away from where we are living right now and we are travelling by train.
Most of the times we use train as our mode of transportation because it is more reliable and it is good for out safety above all, because a long trip with driving byself is ruinig our freedom and relaxation sometimes.
We planned to set off on Sunday. So, I knew Saturday going to be a very busy day with a tide schedule, so I started packing since Friday.
Here is what I packed for my 11 month old,
Food
Formula and portable container
Since he has already started solids, we decided to take some fruits for him. I took diced apples and kiwi, steamed carrots for the first day, and yogurts and rusks for the second day.
Cloths for two days including all the winterwears
pampers
wet wipes
Body soap
Extra blankets
cover for the baby carrier
foldable laundry bag
Things will happen unexpectedly. Therefore, I take my mom’s baby handbook wherever we go. No need to pay extra attention to insurance cards, it is always in my purse.
And always our stayings always near the public transportaion. It makes things easier.
Eating out for every meal with kids especially small guys sometimes feel like a mess. So I prepare food myself, as a cooking lover I love this. For the next day we had ordered from the hotel we stayed.
We eat good breakfast before setting off and some fruits for our baby boy. As well one or two of his favourite toys will go with us. This gonna be a great hit, I am sure.
We initially decided to take both the stroller and the baby carrier with us. But later, my husband explained things, and we decided to leave the stroller behind. During the trip, I realized how much easier it was not to have the stroller with us. It’s always a good idea to understand the type of trip you’re going on. Before bringing a stroller, it’s highly advisable.
I know this list gonna be expanding along with his growth. I am waiting for that lovely moment. Find the courage to travel with our baby boy. Because I love the experience he gets, the way he keeps calm tells more. Every simple step matters to him.
And I do not frel nervous when travelling with him because he is super calm and the happiest while every travel.
How about your travelling with your toddler?
