Traveling with an Infant to Europe?


Martha

Recommended Posts

I did the trip to England with one baby, and then later on with a toddler and a baby, alone (overnight flight, fully booked, with two seats between the three of us - which I wouldn't recommend). The first trip was when Katie was around 5 months old. The flight can be difficult if you have a child who won't go to sleep. If you are thinking of 'medicating' the baby so it will sleep make sure you try it out ahead of time (benedryl, gravol etc. made Katie bounce of the walls). It is better if there are two of you to take care of the baby on the flight.

 

I don't really have anything to add to the advice you have already been given except to say that as far as I know the airlines will ship a car seat for you and it is not included in your baggage allowance. Also you can keep a stroller right up until you board the plane and then they take it and stow it for you, then bring it out first so it is right there as you come off the plane.

 

I was lucky that in most cases I was going to visit family so I had them go shopping for me ahead of time and they met me at the airport so once I got there I didn't have to do too much.

 

A pacifier worked for my two for helping to clear the ears.

 

Have fun on your travels!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
