Bub And Mummas Tale

When it comes to travel our generation is more of a road tripping one. We like to travel at our own pace taking breaks whenever and wherever we want to. But things become tricky when there's a baby on board. Here I'll be sharing tips and tricks that worked for me while we went on a road trip with our one-year-old. Plan your itinerary: Plan each and every day of your trip thoroughly. Your pit stops, where will you stop for breakfast, lunch etc. Are there enough public restrooms on the way? if so, where? This will help you in case of blowouts and washroom emergencies.   Take enough breaks: Since one-year olds are not used to sitting at one place for long, make sure there is enough space for them in the vehicle to move.

  Traveling with a newborn can always be tricky, especially if you are first time parents. Things can get overwhelming at times, and it is always best to prepare ahead of time. When is it safe to travel with a newborn? In general, it is not recommended to travel with a newborn during the first month. Our body needs to heal postpartum and also the baby needs time to adjust to the new world outside of womb. But it is always best to check with your doctor as well as the pediatrician. I had a caesarean delivery but with postpartum blues kicking in and no help whatsoever I had no choice but to go to my parents. I first checked in with my gynecologist if I was fit to fly. Once I got the go ahead, we then went and checked with the pediatrician. Since I had a healthy pregnancy and a full-term baby, we were given the go ahead after 3 weeks. And so, we took our first flight with our newborn when he was just 21 days old! Planning for the trip Being first time parents,...
