Babies abroad

[robbo]

Been going to Icmeler/Marmaris for quite a few years now but this will be our first trip with a baby, she will be 8 months when we travel at the start of June.
Any tips when travelling and in the resort will be gladly appreciated

Hi Robbo

We've been taken our kids abroad since they were babies also and we do the same as the rev,sunblock etc. On the flight if the baby has a dummy give it to her take off and landing as the sucking on it makes them swallow so it helps their ears not to "pop". If no dummy make sure they are drinking when taking off etc. We were aprehensive the first time we took them, but kids adapt to anything its us adults that have the problems!!

Hope this helps

Make sure she has plenty of fluids,and take some calpol in case she gets too much heat

i agree i found the two most important things was apply sunblock often and make sure they drink fluids often
