Pay Attention to the Right Age for Babies to Travel
Babies in good health can actually be taken away for a few days after birth. Some airlines allow babies to fly, at least 2 days from birth.
Even so, generally after the baby is 3 months old then said to be ready to travel. Because, the baby is stronger, though still at home in a sling and sleeping in the arms of the Mother.
During the trip, objects that parents need to carry to meet the needs of Little One, include:
- Change of clothes
- Diapers, wet wipes and towels
- A bag containing the necessary medicines
- Pillows and toys
- Additional snacks
- Breast milk pumps, milk bottles and sterile milk containers
- Formula milk
- Diaper rash cream
- Folding mat or perak.
It is important to ensure that both Mother and baby are in good condition and fit before traveling. Avoid activities that make you tired, and get enough sleep. This is important, especially for nursing mothers so that breast milk remains smooth.
Tips to Make Babies Comfortable During the Trip

- Put baby gear in one box, such as diapers, washcloths, pants and others. This can make it easier for Mother to look for it.
