If your baby likes to sleep in the car it will be pretty easy. One caution-if you drive for most of the day and they sleep be prepared for them to be up more than usual at night. Plus, baby wipes are great for cleaning up just about anything.

first of all make sure you bring bottled water and powdered formula so you can make bottles on the road. Plan your stops around feeding times. Keep diaper bag easily accessible at all times. you should have plenty of diapers in the diaper bag wipes, formula if you are not breast feeding. bottled water a bottle warmer, baby powder, ointment, burp rags, two changes of clothes,
If baby sleeps in the car know that baby will stay up late some kids get sick traveling ear infections, colds if there is a big climate change. If it is possible have some one sit in the back seat with the baby in case the baby does spit up or any thing.
don't pack things around the baby that could be pulled over on top of it. Pillows stuff like that try to keep every thing in the trunk or floor boards. If you are changing climates have appropriate clothing for the baby.
Make sure you take time to take the baby out of the car seat for awhile every time you stop.

Taking a splash one away while so youthful is the least perplexing time as babies will sleep everywhere!! only be advantageous you're taking for sure the fundamentals. If bottle feeding, make advantageous to apply mineral water to cause them to up and take sterilising pills. only be advantageous you could purchase the formulation you want once you get there or if no longer, take it with you. you could purchase cartons if needed for the flight (airport protection with beverages!) If choose be take a suitcase basically for toddler because it rather is extra ideal to have too lots stuff than no longer adequate!! Bub should not be a subject. they do exactly no longer commute gentle at this age unfortuately!!! solid luck :-)

*Try to be prepared in advance.
*Leave early so you have time to stop as often as needed.
*Talk to the baby about what you are doing ahead of time, if nothing else mom's voice is comforting to a baby.
*Pack extra just in case
*Try to pack early and don't forget to double check everything.
*drive safely
good luck and have fun!
