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.

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.

Before baby arrives/at the hospital
Â
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 is key – Once you have your new routine then do your utmost to stick to it when baby arrives, this will help reassure your toddler that not everything is changing, they will still have classes

Why is asking for help so hard for us? I think we have it in the back of our mind that we should be able to take care of it all, we should be able to handle everything, and it feels really outside of our comfort zone to start asking for help.
So, if you are watching this, I’m guessing you probably have already done a little bit of research on the fourth trimester, you’ve done a little bit of research on postpartum and what your needs are going to be, and I’m sure by now one message keeps coming through again and again, and that is you have to ask for help, and you have to be open to receiving it.
So, I’d like to talk a little bit about why that’s hard for us. Now, our ultimate goal is how to have a happy and healthy fourth trimester.  So, this is a transition, especially when it’s your first child, to going from being a fully functioning capable adult, you got all those adulting skills down, but now all of a sudden we’re throwing parenting into the

How do you about your weekend shopping? By car? If so, then you surely know the following small obstacle of everyday life: The weekend shopping is stowed away, your kids have already taken their seat and you are technically ready to go. Technically.
Because at the end of your shopping trip comes the real challenge: With which Tetris tactic will you manage to place your buggy next to the groceries into the car boot today? That's not so easy ... Or is it?
In the second issue of our new #madetomove video series, we'll show you how to easily handle this problem with the Ergobaby Metro. Because with just two simple motions you can fold it so small that it will fit smoothly next to your groceries. Well, there is always space even in the smallest house… Er… car boot:

Attachment parenting focuses on continuous connections, closeness and touch with baby. Using a carrier or sling can help aid this. Whether it’s responding to your little one’s cry or human contact carrying your children helps respond quicker. Whether it’s a baby, toddler or older child, they love to be held which means you can learn to adapt to their needs.
Ergobaby attended the most recent Attachment Parenting Conference and were lucky enough to hear so many different speakers talk about the different areas of Attachment Parenting.
Dr Rosie Knowles was a key note speaker at the event.  Dr. Rosie Knowles, runs the Snug, the Sheffield Sling Surgery, a consultancy and sling library service, and the associated online Sheffield Sling Surgery Virtual Community. She has been trained by several schools registered with the British Association of Babywearing Instructors and her passion to support families is just incredible.
