Calling all adventurers! Are you getting ready to embark on your next family adventure with your tiny travel buddy in tow?! Whether you're jet-setting to exotic destinations or road-tripping to Grandma's house, traveling with a baby doesn't have to be daunting.

In fact, the newborn stage can be the best time to travel. With a little planning and a sprinkle of creativity, you can make your journey smooth sailing (or flying!) from start to finish.

We’ve whipped up three of our top tips to help make traveling with your little one a breeze (or close to it)!

1. Timing is everything:

Whether you're still figuring it out or have mastered your baby's sleep schedule, aim to plan your travel around it as best as possible.

Now, of course, babies don’t always sleep when they’re supposed to, but traveling by plane or car during your little one’s downtime will certainly help minimize meltdowns and (fingers crossed) maximise snooze times.

2. Pack Like a Pro:

That means, focus on the essentials rather than the entire kitchen sink! We’re talking nappies, wipes, bottles and snacks (for you too), and if necessary, one or two favourite toys or books to keep your little explorer entertained. This will help you avoid overpacking and carrying unnecessary items that will weigh you down. Less is MORE!

3. Expect the Unexpected:

We know we don’t have to tell you that life with a baby is full of surprises; so make sure you’re prepared for the unexpected! Pack supplies that will come in handy in tricky situations: a change of clothes (for you too) medications, spare bottles, first aid supplies and any overnight items that might be handy if you’re stuck without luggage.

Most importantly, a flexible mindset is key. Whenever you can, roll with the punches and embrace the adventure!

There you have it, our top three travel tips to make stress-free adventures with your bub that much more attainable! With a little planning, a dash of creativity, and a whole lot of love, you'll be making memories that last a lifetime. Bon voyage! ✈️👶🌍
