Introducing your new baby to your family is a magical time. Traveling, though, maybe inevitable. So if you want to survive visiting family with your baby, follow these 11 tips for traveling with a baby.
How to Survive Any Method of Travel
1. Pack the Baby Travel Essentials
Bring familiar toys and comfort items, such as a blanket, teddy bear, books, dummies, etc., in your change bag. Also, pack some surprise toys for when, or before, tears start brewing. If your baby is eating solids, be sure to pack baby food, snacks, and spoons. Other must-have items for traveling with a baby include bibs, muslin cloths, bottles, nappies, wipes, disposable changing pads, extra clothes, a car seat, a baby carrier, and a stroller.
In this blog post, GP Dr Stephanie Ooi discusses some of the most common new mum questions.
Dr Steph is part of the CARiFiT team and has contributed content to their FREE online membership CARiFiT 4 ALL.

- Fever in children – current guidelines and advice.
Vaccine Myths
The importance of vaccines shouldn’t be underestimated.
For many parents, working out how they’ll go from one baby to two is a daunting prospect, and a common worry is how their toddler will react to the new baby.
We’ve split our ten top tips for a smooth transition into five things to do before baby arrives/at the hospital, and five things to do when you’re all at home together to help you navigate your way through.
Before baby arrives/at the hospital
1. It’s never too early to start planning – Do as much of your preparation in advance as you can, there are going to be a lot of changes happening and the more you can get your little one used to in advance the less they will ‘blame’ on the new baby. This also gives you more time for trial and error, if things don’t go to plan now it’s easier to fix them while they can still be your main focus.
2. Routine

Lots of parents often ask about swaddling. Many are not sure of either the best way to do it or even why they should be doing it in the first place. Some parents have tried it previously and have their reasons why they didn’t stick to it: the baby hated to be swaddled, the swaddle never stayed put anyway, I want her arms free so she can self soothe, etc.
How does swaddling help a baby?
Swaddling isn’t just cute because you make a little baby burrito. It’s beneficial for your baby (and you!). While there are lots of reasons why many parents choose not to swaddle their newborn babies, there are far greater reasons why you should! Here are just a few:

“The emotional labor pains of becoming a mother are far greater than the physical pangs of birth; these are the growing surges of your heart as it pushes out selfishness and fear and makes room for sacrifice and love. It is a private and silent birth of the soul, but it is no less holy than the event of childbirth—perhaps even more sacred.” — Joy Kusek
