Pediatricians do not recommend going on a long journey with small children until they are three years old. The ideal option for them is a trip to the village. If you decide to go to an unfamiliar place, be sure to find out if there is medical care there, what will be the food and living conditions.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare for your trip in advance. Start making a list of essentials at least a week before you leave, so you can add items that you can't do without in an unknown environment. Be sure to take a lightweight stroller-cane with an adjustable backrest on vacation, because during outdoor activities, the baby can fall asleep at the most inopportune moment.
Step 2
Get a waterproof bag and have enough clothes for your baby so that they won't be washed every day. Be sure to bring a warm suit or windbreaker on vacation. In addition, paper towels, wet wipes, baby cosmetics, insect repellent, a few terry towels separate for the beach and for the shower, diapers, a beach umbrella, baby dishes, medicines, and a few favorite toys and books will come in handy.
Step 3
In the first days of the trip, offer the child his usual food, give him boiled or special water for children from bottles. After returning home, you should also not abruptly change your diet. Introduce new complementary foods no earlier than two weeks after the end of the rest.
Step 4
Wear long-sleeved cotton clothing for walking. Be sure to cover the baby's head with a light hat or panama of light shades. It is better for your baby to sunbathe in the shade, under the protection of tall trees, an awning or a beach umbrella. Take a bottle of water for a walk and the beach: let the baby drink a little, but often.
Step 5
Bathing babies up to three years old can be done in reservoirs heated to 21 degrees. First, leave the child in the shade for 15-20 minutes, then wet his hands and feet with water. Go with your baby in the water for 1-3 minutes, and after bathing, carefully wipe him off with a terry towel. If sand gets in your child's eyes, do not let him rub them. Rinse your eyes gently with boiled water.
