Dr. Carole Keim explores how to travel with your baby in this episode. What is best for going out and about or abroad with your baby? Dr. Keim starts right from the first trip of your baby’s life - going home from the hospital - and covers everything from safely riding in the car, diaper bag supplies, and longer-term travel necessities. There is a lot out there so Dr. Keim carefully narrows down all the products to highlight the most important items. Dr. Keim shares what to look for in a car seat and what your baby should and should not wear under the strap to ensure a secure fit. She covers how to keep an eye on your baby in the back seat, when to use blankets, and what exactly should be packed in a diaper bag to ensure you’re prepared for your baby’s needs while out of the house. She talks about different baby carriers, what to pack in a travel suitcase versus what to leave home and just buy on location, and also touches on travel vaccines. This episode will give parents peace of mind about heading out on adventures with a new baby.In this episode:Hospital go-bag: Check out Episode 4|04For the car: Car seat and base - Doona: https://amzn.to/3CiOlZq | Evenflo (cheaper option, separate car seat and stroller) https://amzn.to/4hunybBStroller Mirror to see babySeat protector (when they are walking) Don’t need: all-in-one car seat, screen for child to look at, car seat cover, blanket, NO puffy jackets in car seats Diaper bag: Diapers Cream - Desitin: https://amzn.to/4aqXBat | Aquaphor: https://amzn.to/4hKRekXWipesZiplock bags (gallon size)Baby clothesExtra shirt for momBurp clothChanging pad / muslin blanketPacifierBaby toys / teething toysHand sanitizerSnacksSunscreenBandaidsChange purse / moneyPenChapstickWater bottleTravel: When it’s safe to travel Breastfed babies - after the first round of vaccinesFormula-fed babies - 6 mos after the primary series is complete and they have flu/covid vaccines in a car - any age, but remember car seats are not designed for safe sleep so you need to plan very frequent stopsClothes: 1.5 outfits per day, socks, sleep sack (kaiya baby)Feeding supplies: bottles, silicone bowl with suction backCarriers - ring sling, clip carrier, boba wrap, carrier shirt - For mom: https://amzn.to/3EjucCX | For dad: https://amzn.to/3Wv1pBYTravel vaccines, closed bottle of liquid medicine (tylenol/ibuprofen), vitamins (infant tri-vitamins, Emergen-C)  Don’t need: playpen (most hotels have them), high chair, too many consumables like diapers/formula/snacks, toiletries As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.Dr. Keim has extensively researched the information presented in this episode.
