In an airplane and in a train with a small child
Departing on a trip with a small child in his arms, many parents are afraid of the problems with which theycan collide on the road. Should I take a stroller along? If so, where to put it? Do you need special utensils and accessories? What if suddenly the child becomes ill on the way? From what type of trance is chosen for a trip, the answers to these and other similar questions largely depend.
So, if you are traveling in airplane with a small child. In principle, it is possible to take a child with you on an air flight at any age, starting even from a few months. Another question is how important this trip is and whether it is possible to do without it. Nevertheless, air travel is a physical and psychological burden for the baby. Sharp pressure drops, noise and vibration from the aircraft motors can cause discomfort in the child. And the younger the child, the harder it is to cope with this discomfort.
If circumstances permit, it is better to startair travel with the baby about a year, when the child can already walk with his mother by the handle. However, he is not as helpless as a newborn, but not as hyperactive as a two or three-year-old child.
Different airlines have different attitudes towards baby carriages. Depending on the size or weight of the strollercarry both to luggage, for which you should pay separately, and to hand luggage, which does not require additional payment. In order not to be trapped, it is better to know in advance with the airline how the situation with the transportation of baby carriages is.
What can you and the child need during the flight? It all depends on the age of the child. If your baby is wearing diapers, then be sure to bring a few pieces to the cabin, preferably with a margin. You will also need a spare set of clothes in case the diaper does leak. If your baby already walks on the pot, then you can take with him and him. Often a child in an unfamiliar environment can not go to the toilet normally, so a favorite pot in this situation will help him relax. Many parents also use an ordinary toilet in the plane, holding the child in their arms above the toilet.
Be sure to take with you to the cabin first-aid kit with essential medicines. Means for treating wounds, antipyretic, analgesic, including drugs for colic, remedies for allergies. Take your child's individual medicines with you.
Nutrition for the child it's better to take your plane on boardallowed to carry children's pieroshki and juices. If the child is large enough, you can, of course, give him the food that is offered on the plane. But in a new environment, the baby can be capricious, so it's better that the food was for him loved and familiar. Also do not forget to bring dry and wet wipes. A child may get drunk, get dirty with food or something else.
If you are at home usingsling, then in the plane it will be very useful to you. In the sling, the baby can sleep, and if you are breastfeeding, it is very convenient to feed in a sling.
In the flight you need to take more with you water or lollipops. After takeoff it is better to give the child a drink at once, so that his ears "postponed". Lollipops for older children also help them to easier transfer the pawning of the ears. If the child uses a pacifier, do not forget to take it on a flight. It will help the baby to calm down or even fall asleep. Also help to calm down a few favorite toys of your child. To borrow an older child will help some quiet games, coloring, puzzles.
If you have a voyage in the train, in many respects the recommendations remain the same,as well as for air travel. But there are some other questions. For example, what better car to take: compartment or reserved seat. It all depends on your child and the time of the trip. If your child is small and practically all the time asleep or on a time trip coincides with the usual period of a child's sleep, the coupe will be the best fit. In the compartment quietly and calmly, no one will interfere with the sleep of the child. For older children during wakefulness, the compartment may seem too tight and boring, so in a second-class car they are much more interesting.
Children are much faster than adults in the train bored, deadly bored. In the train everything is different from the usual regime of the day child, so the baby can fallappetite, drop mood. Therefore, take with you on a trip familiar to the child household items: your favorite cup, plate and spoon. Try and follow the usual for the baby rituals, for example, washing before going to bed, a fairy tale or a lullaby. Also take with you your favorite baby toy, with which he used to fall asleep.
Any trip is a stress for kids. In an unfamiliar environment, they feel confused and insecure. Therefore, only parents can help their child, because when the close kids are confident and calm, then the child himself is less nervous. Then u the journey will be for the child a hilarious adventure.
