Holidays with baby, how are we organized?

You prepare your vacation summer and this year you would like to go with your infant. To avoid being surprised or overwhelmed, it is important to prepare for this trip and to think of everything.

Sea or mountain?

First of all, you have to choose the ideal destination for these small vacation in family. If you decide to go to a distant country, it is mandatory to consult a pediatrician before departure which will inform you about the recommended vaccinations. Regarding more traditional destinations, each has its advantages. Going to the sea is a good idea but the sea air can excite baby and it may be hard to fall asleep the first few days. Your child will benefit more from the beach when he can sit. If you choose the sea, do not forget the total screen, the hat and the glasses. And no exposure between 12h and 16h.

Do you prefer the mountain? Avoid the high mountains, beyond 1500 meters altitude your child will have difficulty supporting it. We must also pay attention to mountain otitis. And as for the sea, we do not forget the cream, the hat and the glasses.

Otherwise, you can go to the countryside. This temperate climate and quiet destination may be the right choice for parents to rest and your child to enjoy.

What's in the bag?

When leaving, do not forget the first aid kit. Mom of two young children, Vanessa is still in vacation with them. "The first was three months when we went to Martinique, the pediatrician prescribed me the first aid kit."

This first aid kit is essential: dolipranes, medicines for diarrhea, constipation, anti-mosquito, total screen. Vanessa also recommends taking a folding bed with mosquito net and anti-UV. Also take in the suitcase, wipes, diapers, baby bottles and stroller. And Vanessa's last tip: "always carry a guide with all the emergency numbers".
