By staying flexible, parenting on-the-go will soon become your second nature.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Check out these top tips from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vitalbabyshop.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vital Baby<\/a>\u00a0for success when travelling with your newborn, infant, or toddler in tow.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On the Road<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Half the stress of travelling is getting there. Road tripping with a baby is easier than travelling with a toddler or older child since babies are not yet mobile, and you won\u2019t have to worry about your infant climbing out of their car seat or throwing items, such as your expensive sunglasses, out the open window. Babies also sleep for longer stretches than older children. However, your child should not use a car seat for more than two hours in one go; for babies of all ages but especially newborns. This is because their heavy head can fall forward, causing difficulties with breathing and even suffocation, according to Dr Harvey Karp, making baby travel seats unsafe for overnight sleeps, whether in or out of the car.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23784 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/12\/1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/12\/1-1.jpg 850w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/12\/1-1-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/12\/1-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/12\/1-1-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/12\/1-1-747x420.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/>You will want to make regular stops and take roadside breaks. Remember, your child will be out of their normal routine, so expect a few toilet accidents and mishaps. Even if your toddler is toilet trained, you may want to take along a pack of soft disposable diapers with adhesive waist strips and elasticated edges to keep your little one comfortable and dry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">2. Mealtimes on the go<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong>Full tummies make for happy faces but feeding your young family while travelling or sightseeing in a new environment can be challenging, especially if you don\u2019t want to resort to sugary snacks and fast-food fillers to fill the gap.\u00a0<span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This is where the ease and breeze of Happy Family meals for babies and toddlers come in handy. With only 30% of 1-year-olds eating their required portions of vegetables each day, the Happy Baby organic baby food is full of veggie-goodness packed into handy travel pouches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>3.

Try to stick to milk and water while travelling, and for a sweet, healthy treat, pack some cut fruits such as watermelon, orange, and pineapple, which also aid in hydration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">4. Keep them close<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The safest place for your baby to be when you are stopping for a break or to fill up with petrol is when you are wearing them! A convertible baby carrier is the perfect accessory. Choose one with extra airflow and a mesh design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">5.

This is when a soother provides the solution you need most. Soothers are available in a variety of sizes, shapes and colours suitable for various stages of your baby\u2019s development. Choose an orthodontic-approved soother specifically designed to minimise pressure on gums and developing teeth and to let your baby\u2019s tongue remain in a natural position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">6.

Its easy-to-grip handles and sounds and colours help your baby to focus, listen, learn, and hear while giving their little fingers added dexterity.<\/span><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>7.

Water is especially fascinating for little ones, so be sure to take your child\u2019s favourite bath toys along with you on your holiday travels to give them a sense of routine and familiarity at their usual bath time.
