International Travel With a Baby
Traveling abroad with a baby takes extra planning, but with the right steps, it feels manageable. Here’s how we prepared for our first big trip with Parker — from paperwork to health checks to packing.
Traveling With a Baby Starting Solids: Tips for Stress-Free Trips
Introducing solids is a milestone — and doing it while traveling adds a whole new layer of adventure.
Our son Parker tried his first foods while we were in Panama. It was mostly fruit, and he didn’t really swallow much — just explored textures and flavors. Pineapple quickly became a favorite: sweet, juicy, and perfect for tiny hands.
Before heading to Thailand, we made sure to introduce all the common allergens several times at home. It gave us peace of mind knowing he’d already tried everything safely. We also packed Benadryl for emergencies — even though there’s no infant dosage, having it on hand helps us feel prepared.
Travel Injuries With a Baby
Family travel isn’t just about beaches and sightseeing. Sometimes, things go wrong — and you have to figure it out in real time.
On our trip to Panama, I broke my ankle. Suddenly, our family adventure turned into navigating ambulances, clinics, flights home, surgery, and recovery — all while caring for a baby.
Here’s what that experience taught us about travel injuries, recovery, and the importance of preparation.
Road Tripping With a Baby: Complete Guide
We just finished a road trip across the U.S. with Parker at 6 months old — and I’ll say this upfront:
It was slower, messier, and more beautiful than we expected.
If you’re planning a road trip with a baby, this isn’t a “perfect itinerary” post. This is what actually worked for us — and what we’d do differently next time.
Flying With a Baby: Everything We Learned After Multiple Flights
Flying with a baby can feel overwhelming, especially the first time. Between diapers, feedings, naps, and keeping your little one comfortable, it’s easy to overpack or miss the essentials.
We’ve now flown with our son Parker at 5 weeks, 4 months, 6 months, and 7 months, and each trip taught us something new. This guide shares the baby airplane packing list that worked for us, what we actually used on board, and the small strategies that made flying with an infant manageable.
