Tips to travel with baby?
On the 20th this month, we’re going to Paris to see my family. We’ll be traveling by trains instead of flying and I start to be very anxious about it.
We’ll take a first train from Glasgow to London early in the morning. Then an afternoon Eurostar down to Paris. Estimated time of traveling and commute : 9 hours!
My baba is 9 months old, very easy going and good natured but I fear the worst of tantrums that day , either from him or…me!
Do you have any tips for long trips with babies? I panic just thinking about luggage/bottles/food/entertainment/nap times.
Any do’s and don’t’s?
I second what someone said about the sling, then you can be hands free and baba feels like he is being held rather than wheeled around. I have a great pouch one where they sit on your hip. I’ll be travelling 26 hours to NZ with my 10 month old baby girl (on my own eek!) to see family in Feb. Have done this journey a number of times with my son, when he was 8 months, 2 and 3. Buy a couple of small new toys that you bring out on the day of travel so it’s something he wont have seen before, but most of all if you try to stay relaxed then he will pick up on that and be calm too 
And totally don’t worry about any other travellers, lets face it they were all babies at some stage and many will go on to be in the same position as you at some stage so just keep your head up and don’t let them get to you!
Try to stay with his usual nap/feeding times will help too.
