Minimizing the Stress of Summer Travel with Little Ones
Summer is always an exciting time to explore your surroundings or the world with babies. Warmer weather gives us more options for outdoor activities with the little ones, from hiking to beach swimming.
Whether you're heading out for a day trip with your baby or taking longer vacations over longer distances, the following summer travel tips will help you plan ahead and enjoy your family in the sun safely and comfortably.
Choose clothes that are breathable and light for your baby: Choose clothes that will allow your baby's skin to breathe and sweat comfortably. Make sure to always bring seasonal clothing with you in unexpectedly cold or air-conditioned airports, airplanes, and restaurants. Totzee products will be a good choice for your baby's comfort.
Keep breastfeeding: It's easier to stay hydrated when the weather is warm and the baby is sweating. Breast milk is the best way to quench thirst and nourish your baby. Also, breast milk is a good treatment, especially if your baby has been bitten by an insect that causes diarrhea and vomiting.
Prevent your baby from staying in the sun for a long time: Bring a brimmed hat with a chin strap that won't fly off your baby's head.
Plan for both outdoor and indoor activities : There are many outdoor summer activities available, such as parks, festivals, outdoor concerts, beaches, and other activities for kids. However, it is always wise to plan some spare indoor activities to escape the extreme summer heat or an unexpected rainy day. Check out children's museums, indoor pools or water parks for alternative options when the weather gets too rough.
