Introducing your new baby to your family is a magical time. Traveling, though, maybe inevitable. So if you want to survive visiting family with your baby, follow these 11 tips for traveling with a baby.
How to Survive Any Method of Travel
1. Pack the Baby Travel Essentials
Bring familiar toys and comfort items, such as a blanket, teddy bear, books, dummies, etc., in your change bag. Also, pack some surprise toys for when, or before, tears start brewing. If your baby is eating solids, be sure to pack baby food, snacks, and spoons. Other must-have items for traveling with a baby include bibs, muslin cloths, bottles, nappies, wipes, disposable changing pads, extra clothes, a car seat, a baby carrier, and a stroller.

Summer! Finally! Many of us will be planning on taking a trip at some point this year, whether that's a long break overseas or a short trip close to home. Our UK sleep specialist Gemma Coe is a mum of two and is a certified baby and child sleep consultant. She helps families all over the world develop healthy sleep habits. Today, Gemma talks to us about getting your baby’s sleep after traveling back on track.
I'm writing this blog two days after returning from a camping trip in France with my family so it's great timing. I heeded my own advice whilst on our trip. "Try really hard not to worry about sleeping too much and just concentrate on having fun. Holidays are precious". So yes, this happened. The kids had late nights, fun nights and there was zero recognition of the bedtime routine!
That was great whilst away, suited us really well. We could eat

Do you already have Summer holiday plans? Admittedly, the first time traveling with an infant is always particularly exciting and nerve racking. And often means a lot of luggage. Whether for two days or two weeks, there are just so many things to think about: things you need, things you might need, and everything else in between! At this point we would like to reassure you, with such a small new roommate often practice makes perfect. At some point you will work out you only need to take half of what you think with you, but it's a process and you have to test it for yourself. If you are still breastfeeding, you don't really need that much at first, nevertheless, it is of course important that you listen to your gut feeling and pack everything you think is necessary. That's why today we have the ultimate tip for you, so you have the necessary space for all these things in the car, train or plane that you need to feel well equipped while on holiday.

From the 8th to the 14th May 2023, we are celebrating European Babywearing Week, which is themed "Facets of Babywearing".
We know there are many reasons to carry your baby.
Simply because, anatomically speaking, it is the most natural place for a newborn to be.
It promotes the bond between parents/caregivers and child and at the same time strengthens trust.
You have your hands free to do the hundred (or thousand!) things you need to do in a day.
To stimulate the flow of milk and to breast/chest feed on the go if that’s how you feed your baby.

How a Compact Stroller Will Help Your Everyday Routine
The everyday routine of a parent is busy and at times chaotic to say the least. And while children are wonderful, they can also make everyday errands into an epic event. Need to run to the store just for milk and toothpaste? Alone, you can be there and back home in 10 minutes. But with a kid, you never know how long it’ll take. You have to pack a change bag, put your child and his stuff in the car, drive to the store, take him and his stuff out of the car—there’s 25 minutes right there (not including any surprise setbacks) and you haven’t even made it into the store. It can make any sane parent feel like going crazy.
But everyday life requires leaving your house some days. You have places to go and people to see; not to mention your sanity to keep. Want to know what can help you keep your sanity? A compact stroller. It can’t pack a change bag or put your child into his car seat,

We have a new baby! Hooray! Ergobaby has a new baby carrier. And it’s something a little bit different. A hip seat baby carrier. Or rather, two. The Ergobaby Alta and Ergobaby Lift. Alta is a hip carrier with a removable back panel that looks similar to its siblings the Omni and Adapt, but is quite different. Lift is a pure hip seat baby carrier - without a back panel or shoulder straps.
Why a hip seat? These are two essential everyday helpers that fit perfectly into our existing collection and are a great addition to a "normal" baby carrier. Especially as a secondary carrier when your child starts crawling, walking and wants to come

Leaving home with baby for the first time can be seriously daunting. You ask yourself a hundred questions: “What do I need to take for baby?” “Will they be too hot?

There are so many things to think about and the list of contingencies just gets longer and longer.

A Sleep Consultant's Best Sleep Aid? A Sleeping Bag!
We caught up with Gemma Coe, The Baby and Child Sleep Specialist to chat about how sleeping bags can help you all get a better night's sleep...
My best sleep aid as a sleep consultant? Sleeping bag. Absolutely! Given all the sleep products out there for newborns upwards you may think I’m mad (or just slightly boring). Hear me out. OK, so not only do these ‘wearable blankets’ look totally cute, but they are great for many practical reasons too.
To ensure safe sleep, the NHS and the Lullaby Trust recommend a room temperature of between 16-20 degrees. We also need to ensure the cot is kept completely clear of any loose bedding
