Not every family decides to travel to the sea with a baby. However, if you follow a number of important rules during your trip, your trip will become truly unforgettable and incredibly positive.
Planning a trip to the sea
Some parents believe that before their baby is 3 years old, it is better for them not to go anywhere, but to spend their holidays at home. A trip to the sea with a baby makes them fearful at all. It is not known how the baby will react to climate change and how he will feel and behave in an unfamiliar place.
The stronger and healthier the child is, the easier it is to tolerate acclimatization. Doctors do not recommend taking out newborn children anywhere, because up to 1 month of their life they must be examined by a doctor or a visiting nurse at least 1 time per week. In addition, these babies are still too weak for a long trip.
You can plan a vacation no earlier than the moment when the baby turns 3 months old. Before that, it is advisable to share your plans with the local pediatrician, who can give very valuable recommendations.
When choosing a tourist package, it is better to purchase a tour to a country with a mild climate. It is better to refuse a trip to exotic countries for a while. The most optimal way for tourists with small children is to travel to the place of rest by plane.
Rules of conduct on vacation
When going on the road, you must take with you all the necessary documents for the child. It is advisable to make copies of the sheets of the medical record, where there are marks of all vaccinations given. On the road, it is imperative to collect a first-aid kit, which must contain pain relievers, bandages, and disinfectants.
When packing, do not forget to take with you sunscreen for the little ones with the maximum degree of protection, diapers, clothes for babies, as well as a large beach umbrella. For a sedentary baby, you can take a cane stroller. Baby strollers are extremely heavy and bulky. Often mothers prefer to take a sling scarf or sling backpack with them, in which they can carry their baby. These incredibly convenient devices can replace a heavy stroller to some extent.
In the first days of rest, you should very carefully observe how acclimatization is going on. If the baby has a hard time tolerating the change of climatic conditions, it is worth limiting exposure to the sun and spending more time in a hotel room.
When traveling with a baby, it is better to opt for a fairly comfortable hotel with all the necessary conditions. Recreation options in cottages-trailers or tent camps in this case are unacceptable.
It is important to remember that you cannot be at sea all day with a small child. With a baby, you can go to the beach only until 11 am and after 4 pm. The rest of the time you can devote to walking along the shady streets, parks and relaxing on the territory of the hotel.
If the baby eats not only breast milk, it is advisable to stock up on the road with his usual diet. Even if the child was not previously drunk with water, it is simply necessary on vacation. It is better to buy water in bottles and be sure to boil it before giving it to the baby.
