Initial thoughts about traveling with baby
Some initial thoughts about our experience traveling with Mika.
Plane Trip
Bring only one toy, one book and one snack. We brought several of each and Mika barely used any of them, they occupied precious space for nothing.
Cold medicine works great as a sleeping drought. Yeah, I donīt like the idea of drugging my baby either, but she did have a runny nose and for some reason she kept waking up while sleeping in the plane. After I gave her the cold medicine she slept great until it was time to get ready for landing.
Donīt bring the jackets with us. They were a pain in the butt and we didnīt really need them.
Tray tables may good sleeping surfaces. But babies sometimes rather sleep in their motherīs arms.
Around Town
Our car seat worked well for the long remis ride, at least once we put it on, but itīs a pain in the but to put on for short taxi rides. Weīve been holding on to her and praying.
Our Peg Pérego Pliko Trek stroller has worked great in the really broken La Plata sidewalks and cobblestone streets, sometimes itīs a little hard to get over the holes but all in all itīs done well.
Nothing more for now.
