Travel Rest

Travelling is amazing. The birth of a child is not a reason to refuse traveling. It is important to remember about acclimatization and jet lag for most young children. It is important not to forget about the reacclimatization after returing. It is better to spend the hot part of the day indoors, drink lots of water and use sunscreen outdoors.

Cabin fever on an airplane is very common because babies can’t behave perfectly in transportation. This is a reality. The challenge for parents is to get their child interested in certain activities on board. Who will be helped by a tablet, who will be helped by food, who will be helped by drawing, who will be helped by a new toy. It is better to have several things on hand.

Baby ears bother all parents. As a rule, children under a year do not have such problems when taking off and landing. Older children can be given a drink or a lollipop. The use of ear drops or vasoconstrictors is highly discouraged. It is necessary to prepare the child for small surprises on the plane, but not to get everything at once. It can be a new book, a not very noisy toy, a drawing set, stickers.

The flight may be delayed or postponed. In this case, it is important to have baby food or an opportunity to get it. In addition, airports usually have children’s rooms with cribs, where you can comfortably put a child to sleep. These are the most common situations faced by parents-travelers. But all of them can be solved.
