Traveling With a Baby New to Solids

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.
