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.

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.

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.

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
