Planning vacations with a baby

When you think about putting together a family vacation must be taken into account details such as destination, mode of transport, choice of excursions and the assembly of the bags, among others. All these considerations are multiplied if you also represent the first long stays away from home with a baby.

First, it must be remembered that children less than one year can not be exposed to the sun, must remain in the shade and always be protected from the solar reflection with a protective factor greater than 50. When deciding the fate, we must remember that it is better this time selecting a single place that allow small to adapt to the new house.

 For infants under 6 months, the beach is not recommended because the sunlight can provoke burns on the skin, and are still too young to enjoy the sand so they tend to get restless. The over 6 months may attend but within a limited time: from 9 to 10.30 hours in the morning, and after 16, in the afternoon. Thus, we succeed in avoiding the most dangerous sun rays.

Instead, the hills and mountains can be an ideal place for children. As for the bags, you must find out what the temperature of the chosen place to provide appropriate clothing. It is very important not to lead others but have several options for shelter and clean clothing. Nor should we forget the baby carrying items such as a doll or a blanket that he prefers, which will help their not suffer much in an unfamiliar environment.

Remember that all means of transport are suitable for babies, including the aircraft, when a newborn. Whenever you go on a trip, is very useful to have an emergency kit, which in this case includes items such as thermometer to check body temperature, antipyretics, antihistamines and antipruritic, gauze bandages and adhesive type, analgesic eye drops and ear wax remover.
