Things You Need To Know To Travel With A Newborn

Can I travel with a newborn? Maybe you ask yourself that question if you are going to be a mother or a father soon. The answer is resounding. Yes. Without any problem, except the logic of the infrastructure necessary to do it. But from a physical standpoint, you can travel with a Nacid new or perfectly, you can even take a plane when your baby is only two days old.

Traveling with a newborn by any means of transport

You can safely get on a plane with your baby, on a boat, on the train, on a bus and, of course, in your own car. Of course, all these means of transport have certain rules of their own  regarding the age allowed to travel and their rates.

So if it is necessary to make a trip, especially by plane or boat, find out about the conditions of the company with which you have to hire your trip.

Administrative transactions

Did you know that you can give a baby a DNI? Yes, of course. And not only that. When it comes to taking a flight with him, it may even be necessary with certain companies to fly in Spanish territory. Something that is also mandatory to fly within the EU.

Meanwhile, in the case of traveling to non-EU territories, your child will need a passport. Regarding these trips, you should also find out if it is necessary to pay a visa to enter those countries.

However, when traveling with a newborn, in addition to always carrying a first-aid kit with everything you may need, it is best to take out travel insurance. It is the best way to guarantee assistance for our little one and for ourselves, who are his true life support.

Things that should accompany us during the trip

Regardless of the means of transport chosen to travel with a newborn, there are a series of elements, objects and belongings that must always accompany us:

Diapers

According to the duration of the trip, we have to calculate how many diapers we will need for the baby. And when we say diapers we mean everything that involves cleaning the baby. That is, wipes, creams, ointments, bags …

Clothing

You always have to bring spare clothes in case you need it because it has been stained. Or because of the temperature conditions during transport. Wow, among the things that all those who are going to travel with a newborn have to carry clothes, warm in case it is cold and cooler in case it is too hot.

Your beloved blanket

Within the clothing section, we should also include a garment that is not dressed, but that is essential for the baby’s comfort. It is his blanket, the one that accompanies him wherever he goes and that of course also has to undertake this first journey.

feeding

To continue covering all the needs of your child, you have to think that the baby must be perfectly hydrated. As when traveling with a newborn, you have to take their food with you.

You can not miss the bottles or the food you receive. And when we talk about bibs, this must be accompanied by nipples, a heater and everything necessary for their sterilization. Essential!

Entertainment

Ideally, get your child to sleep as much as possible while on the move. That would be a blessing, although in the case of airplanes it is said that they are better awake during the take-off and landing phase. But as we say, the more you sleep the better for everyone.

But that sometimes is not easy, and traveling with a newborn can be an adventure in which you have to try to entertain him so that he does not get bored of spending so much time in the same position and seeing the same things, for example riding in a car. .

For this, it is best for an adult to be aware of him at all times, and to have one of his most common toys or rattles. It will be something that will calm you in those moments when the child gets tired of the trip.

In short, follow these tips if you are going to travel with a newborn  and you will tell us if they have been useful to you.
