Our tips for traveling with your baby

Here are the key points we’ve identified for preparing a trip with your baby in the best possible conditions.

Plan ahead

Pack everything you’ll need for your baby during the trip, such as a change of clothes, food, toys, diapers and a first-aid kit. Make sure you also have all the necessary documents, such as your baby’s identity papers.

Take along a changing bag

Prepare a changing bag with everything you’ll need for diaper changes, bottles and baby care.

Allow plenty of time for stopovers: If you’re traveling by plane, allow plenty of time for stopovers and check-ins, as you may need to change or feed your baby during these times.

Prepare an entertainment kit

Prepare an entertainment kit for your baby, with books, toys, games and cartoons to keep him occupied during the trip.

Choose baby’s sleeping hours

If possible, plan your trip to coincide with your baby’s sleeping hours, so he can sleep through part of the journey.

Take along accessories to help baby fall asleep

Take along accessories to help your baby fall asleep, such as a pacifier or comforter to reassure him.

Prepare to improvise

Even with the best planning, things can go wrong when you’re traveling with a baby. Be prepared to improvise and be flexible in the event of last-minute changes.

Don’t forget to take care of yourself

Travelling with a baby can be exhausting, so don’t forget to take care of yourself too. Take breaks to rest and eat, and don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need it.
