Travelling with your child is one of the best ways to make beautiful memories. Each travel destination teaches babies and parents of all ages a lot of real-time learning. Everything about travelling with babies is impressive, except for dealing with the diaper, including the surreal destination, family bonding, photographs, and delicacies.

Even if your child is toilet-trained, keep enough cloth diapers and baby wipes on hand to prevent accidents. This article will help you understand the tips when travelling with newborn babies to ensure that your vacation is trouble-free.

How to Travel With a Newborn: 5 Tips

Travelling with an infant is much more challenging than with a toddler. As a result, you'll need a plan and a few essential items to have a fun trip with them. Here are the top 5 diapering tips for travelling with a baby:

1. Do the Math - Calculate the total number of diapers required for the trip and bring extra reusable diapers with you, as this will prevent a last-minute rush for diapers. SuperBottoms Freesize UNO is the best option because it lasts up to 12 hours and is reusable and washable up to 300+ times, making it easy to travel.

2. Do Not Try Potty Training - Travelling can be stressful for both children and toddlers. Avoid potty training right before or during a big trip. Travelling with cloth diapers is the only option if your child needs to be thoroughly potty trained.  

3. A Compact Waterproof Travel Bag - You must have a travel bag when travelling with your baby. It should include at least three sets of cloth diapers, the best baby wipes for newborns, soothing diaper balm, dryfeel langot for diaper-free times, hand sanitiser, and nursing pads. SuperBottoms waterproof travel bag is a multipurpose bag designed as a waterproof handbag-style bag that can also be your go-to accessory for all travel and storage needs. 

4. Distractions - Changing a toddler's diaper is nothing short of a roller coaster ride. But while diapering the baby, the only thing that can help is a good distraction. Hand over a toy, rattle, teether, or any essential (as long as it's organic and non-toxic) to keep the child occupied while changing the diaper. 

5. Before Boarding a Flight/Train - Your chances of finding a changing table are less while travelling. Fortunately, many airports and railway stations have "Baby rooms" where you can change diapers without hassle. In addition, you can keep a mix of disposable and cloth diapers for newborns and use them according to your travel preferences or conditions.
   

Newborn Essentials to Bring When Travelling with a Baby

Travelling with a baby can be an incredible experience if you have mastered the art of hassle-free diapering. As a result, we've compiled a list of must-have newborn essentials to make your job easier while you're on your travels.

Newborn Baby Essentials # 1 - Baby Wipes - Your travel bag's first and most important item should be a compatible pack of pure XtraHydrating Wipes. These wipes are extra soft and gentle and can hold 3.5 times more moisture. They will be helpful during diaper changes, feeding times, and any other time your baby requires cleaning. They are entirely biodegradable and clean with a single wipe. 

Newborn Baby Essentials # 2 - Diaper Rash Creams - Diaper rashes often prevent parents from travelling with their babies. Don't let this happen to you; baby cloth diapers and rash creams are a must when travelling with your little munchkin. Therefore, include the best diaper rash cream on your packing list. 

Newborn Baby Essentials # 3 - Carry Baby Sunscreen - To ensure safe sun protection, keep plant-based baby sunscreen with SPF 30 and UVA/UVB protection handy, as your baby, too, needs to be protected from the sun's harmful rays. 

Newborn Baby Essentials # 4 - Upcycled Toys - You don't have to carry all your baby's toys; just one or two soft toys will be enough. SuperBottoms upcycled toys are a great option because they are made from the leftover fabric from cutting out your favourite sustainable baby essentials. As a result, they are safe for your baby and the environment.
Also, with such materials, children tend to connect much faster to their environment and surroundings, boosting their imagination and creativity. 

Newborn Baby Essentials # 5 - Hydrating Lotion - Since babies have sensitive skin, skin dryness and irritation are common issues during a trip. Only an excellent plant-based moisturising lotion and face cream can prevent this. So, make sure you purchase all the necessary baby essentials before leaving for your journey.

Key Takeaways

1. Carry Enough: Make sure you have enough reusable organic cotton cloth diapers before you leave for your trip to avoid any problems later.
2. Baby Wipes are a Must: Always keep a pack of baby wet wipes handy because you will always need them.
3. Keep them Distracted: Toys made of natural elements, such as fabric and organic materials, can pique children's interest and spark their curiosity while also keeping them occupied.
