Do you ever think about travelling with your honey without leaving your baby? Well I got the same idea as well but don’t have the courage to do that until one day, I went to airport and met many foreigners travelling with their baby! They carrying a big backpack, luggage and their baby on the stroller.

Oh my God.. I miss my journey with my baby…

Then, I thought to myself, how come they dare to travel with their baby while I’m not? I worried about how to breastfeed my baby, how to feed her, how about the food, will it be ok, will she eat the food, will she be healthy to enjoy the holiday, and many other questions popped up in my mind. I started to discuss this thing with my husband and he want to try, otherwise we don’t know the result, right?… Well, this is a good start, so I tried to make a new step in my life, going for a holiday to Bali to celebrate our 6th anniversary…My baby was 15 month years old at that time.

Before going, I was so nervous. I’m afraid that I couldn’t enjoy my holiday because I concern too much with my baby… but thank God, so far so good. Next, I tried somewhere further, to Medan… and I have to admit, I enjoyed my time with my baby…

So, here’s what you have to prepare when you want to travel with your baby:

1. If you still breasfeed your baby, make sure you bring something to cover yourself when breasfeed your baby. It’s difficult to find a specific place to breasfeed, so you have to be aware about this.
2. If your baby is 6 month already, bring the milk and everything related to it in a special bag. Make sure everything is in the bag before leaving.
3. Bring a baby stroller to make your burden lighter. You can use your baby stroller to bring other things as well.
4. Bring a blanket to make your baby is still warm everywhere.
5. Even though your child is able to go to do the toilet training, maybe it is better to use diaper because it is difficult to find toilet in a new place and sometimes it is not clean enough for your little one.
6. Bring medicine and vitamin for your little one.
7. Bring your own food in case your little one couldn’t eat the food in the new place. Sometimes it will make a new problem if they don’t want to eat, so it is better to bring your own food.

Well… if everything is ready… off we gooooooo
