Travel & Bottle Feeding: What To Take

We all know how stressful traveling can be, but traveling with BABIES?! That’s on a whole other level. And while traveling doesn’t seem like something any of us will be doing soon, it’s still important to prepare yourself for future vacations. We know you’re already dying to get away.

Between fussy babies, mischievous chewing and bottle throwers, bottle feeding can be difficult enough as it is. So when you throw the stress of traveling into the mix, things are bound to get a whole lot more complicated.

But fear not! We’ve compiled a list of tips for traveling with a baby that will help keep both parent and baby happy when you’re on the road. Familiarize yourself with these hacks and your future self will thank you (we promise).

Feeding Your Baby On a Plane

This might just be the part every parent dreads. Feeding in such a tight space can be tricky, and you’ll probably be worried about your baby getting upset (especially if the flight is long-haul).

Here are some great tips that will help you calm and feed your baby on a plane:

• Ask the Cabin Crew For Assistance

If you ask nicely, the cabin crew will be more than happy to help you when it’s time to feed your baby. You can request that they gently warm your baby’s bottle to encourage sleep and prevent their little ears from popping.

• Sit By The Window

Asking to be moved to a window seat provides you with an extra spot to prop your arm up while feeding your baby. You’ll enjoy a little bit more calm and privacy for those precious feeding moments, and you’ll also get a better view of the world below!
