Travel essentials

Hi everyone. We are going to travel by airplane for the first time with our LO who will be just about 6.5 months at that time, specifically for a friend’s wedding. What are some of your travel tips, essential must have items, and reminders we should keep in our mind for the trip? Please also share how you handled routines, etc. in a hotel room. Extra kudos for any links you can share!! Thanks! 🙏🏽

Feed during take-off and landing

Bring a bottle warmer if you bottle feed

These might be very basics but: 1. You can checkin two baby related items for free even without booking a seat for tge lO. If your using a cover for your carseat you can also shove in the diapers or wipes if your planning on carrying them. 2.Ear muff and giving the baby something to suck on while takeof and landing 3. Bring new toys and books that the baby has not yet explored for the flight. 4. Try to make the hotel room your staying in as homely as possible, they provide you with a bassinet. Have a great great time.

Bottle, breast, or give a pacifier during takeoff and landings. -Gate check your stroller, or if you're planning on baby wearing, know that during takeoff and landing, you can not have the wrap or carrier on. -Read up on the TSA website in regards to breast milk or formula through security. Screenshot that page or have it ready to view in less than a minute!!! I can't express how many times I have had to ask for a supervisor because someone didn't know the formula/breast milk policy regardless of showing them the page. -Plan to be there early and bust out a toy blanket. -If the baby has a specific sound that they fall asleep to or sooth, make sure to download it. -I have, as a courtesy, brought ear plugs for people around us. Most people are understanding, others may not be. So, I'll offer them that courtesy, and if they decline, that's on them. -I travel often with my kids, and I have found that most hotels don't have tubs anymore. I pack this or something like it with me. https://amzn.to/3Uefh28
