Re: Have any tips for making travel time with baby go more smoothly?
It can be very difficult to run errands or travel with a baby. Here are some tips to make things a bit smoother:
Stick to the schedule
Try to mimic the same schedule whether you’re away for a few hours or even a few weeks. Children like routine and tend to behave better when they have a predictable sense of order.
Know their limits
Try not to run errands or attend events when they’re tired or hungry. If it’s their naptime, then encourage them to rest or sleep. Remember that they have short attention spans and can’t sit still or in one place for a long period of time.
Keep them engaged
Bring books or toys with you in the car, at the shopping mall, on the airplane, and so on. When children are bored, they tend to act out, so keep them occupied.
