When you are traveling with a baby, you make all the arrangement and plans for the trip, so try as much as you can to make all your arrangement as if you are traveling with your spouse or a person of your type.

Make the happiness of that your companion traveler(the baby) a big factor in the arrangement and plans just like you considered yours.

If this crucial part is plan very well it going to be a win win situation with both of you enjoying the trip. you wondering how to have can this crucial part to be plan well? then you are at the right place.

The most important parts

Your child might get bored having to always sit still at one place for long period of time instead of him/her being able to run around and explore at his/her own enthusiastic and energetic pace, so factor the happiness of the child in your itinerary.schedule it to one activity per day and keep it simple.

Choose a family-friendly destination for your trip

Firstly, look for a more relaxing destination which is used to receiving young visitors, I suggest a destination with cool beach retreats, family camp, nature resort, or a kind of kid-friendly tourist sites and always avoid visiting the over crowded tourist destinations places where there is no canopy.

Secondly, up stained from going to the most popular tourist sites at your destination country in the afternoon and

only visit such tourist places very early in the morning so that child can enjoy and have the natural feeling of those places. and other spots that will pose an added challenge when you have a young one in tow.

Thirdly, children are happier and they imagines setting different feeling when they see many people playing games like fun games, football, volley ball,tennis etc.

So try your best to look search those places where there is an on going supports events with lesser crowd and go there with the baby.It helps them to have better sleep at night.

Take drinks and snacks

Take plenty drinks,bottle water and snacks but put few of them in a bag and take it along with you to board the flight of any trip and leave the rest in your bigger bag.

Children can get dehydrated during a flight, and obviously babies or children can't always wait for food service and they may even refuse the airline meal when it arrives.

Before boarding the flight find out from your airline if you might be allowed to pre-order children's meal for your child.Remember to take jackets and big blanket with you to cover the child when it gets cold in the air, on the road or in the hotel.

Frequently break up driving distances to rest

Always find out how long the distances from your hotel to any places that you would like to visit from google map or ask your hotel receptionist to tell you how long it will take you to get to where you want to go before you leave your hotel.

Knowing the Kilometers and distances you are going cover for the day will help you break up your trip when driving so that you child can stretch his/her limbs and move around to shake off some curbed energy.End your driving time early so all of you can rest after long day on the road.

Look for family friendly hotel

Obviously you can sleep under any particular kind of hotel with some certain level of standards but not all hotel will be suitable for you when traveling with a baby.

Some hotels provides single room for one person, some hotels can also provide you with two separate bedrooms which will be for you and your baby nevertheless these are not the type of hotels that you should be looking for.

Rather you should look for family friendly hotels and resorts that have spacious single room which allows babies/kids stay in their parent's room and provide meals to children which all is included in the room price.

if you can't find these type of hotel at your destination then go for this second option, which is a hotel that offers two separate bedrooms, with a double bed and bunk bed respectively and both bedrooms have a direct gate to access each other respectively.

Health and Safety

Babies are vulnerable in nature and either you are traveling outside your country or going very far away from your home within your own country for your trip, there is a change of environment. Since we now live in a technological world today, there are lots of pollution around us leading to so many diseases.

So please first of all discuss the very details of your trip to your family doctor. Outlines all your plans for trip to him/her and seek for his/her expect advise about current the health conditions and situation of your destinations and then have him/her prepare first aid medicine which will be relevant to the baby and you.

It is advisable to dress your child in a brightly colored outfit so that he/she's will be able to easily to spotted in a crowd.

You can also put small card with identification information on it in one of his/her pockets in case you get separated, and anytime you dress your snap a picture of him/her with your cell phone and it assist you a lot in case you need help finding her.

Eat familiar foods

In social context, one of the common factor to increases people acceptance is to eat their foods in the first place before thinking of speaking their languages. So nevertheless don't get swayed by you trying to socializing with many different people by tasting their foods for friendship.

Take high quality powdered foods along with you for the baby. It's always prudent to take enough powdered foods along than liquid foods, since powdered foods are very simple and easy when packing.

Looking at the color of some foods only may attract you to eat them but never fall a victim to that to eat unfamiliar foods whiles you are on trip with a baby. Always try as much as you can to look for familiar foods and if you find one buy more so you may keep some for later use.

Have a bigger bag for your trip

For one thing, children love to do the same damn thing over and over and over again.

They’re wired for it so it always best to find out which one or two toys, books and cartoons are you child's favorite and take them along and it help them to feel at home whiles you are actually enjoying your trip.

Another good thing is study your child very well whiles you are still at home to find out which places in your home that your always goes there to play.

This might sound a heavy boring task right? To be frank it is but if you study carefully the way plays, you definitely got to know your child very well and if you provide them with those needs when traveling, you are almost hundred percent assured of having an exciting,wonderful and successful trip ever.
