travel & leisure: Top Tips for Travelling with Babies

By Steve Alexander

Having a baby can sometimes put people off travelling, but this doesn't have to be the case. Whether you've got the one baby or a few children, there are a few tips to make travelling with the kids an absolute doddle.

A plane journey can often be quite uncomfortable, and your baby is sure to agree! In order to keep them at a comfortable temperature, think about layering up your baby in comfortable and loose clothing. Packing a blanket or a lightweight scarf from home will give them a familiar smell to help them settle on the plane.

When you arrive at your destination, hailing a local taxi or negotiating the local trains can be a hassle and time consuming, especially with a baby, so book your transfer before you travel. There are many different options available to you and it will make your lives much easier to pre-book a transfer to your hotel.

After you've arrived at your resort in Puerto del Carmen or anywhere else, it's time to start enjoying your holiday and to do this, preparation is key. Take a few moments to get everything sorted for the baby, even if it means missing out on moments in the sun. When travelling with a baby, a parasol is an absolute must along with a high factor SPF, lots of water, and plenty of shade.

You want your baby to enjoy their new surroundings and play, but safety must come first with a baby especially when the sun is strong. Pack a cooling spray, which can be purchased from many High Street stores, to spray onto your baby to cool them down when necessary. This is also a great time for teaching your baby how to swim and become acquainted with the water. Let them splash around with your supervision and they'll soon become a water baby.
