Wherever you are going: to another country or to a dacha, there is a certain set of things that should always be with you.
First Aid Kit.
In the first aid kit it is better to put a shatterproof thermometer, plasters, bandage. Not superfluous will be antiseptics for the treatment of wounds, hydrogen peroxide, iodine or zelenka.
If you take your child for the first time, especially on a long trip, anything that can happen to you can not be predicted. So do not forget the remedy for a stomach upset, smektu, but-shpu. With acute pain, do not use painkillers, since the doctor must accurately determine the picture of the disease.
From the temperature will help aspirin, paracetamol. Do not be superfluous will be drugs for allergies, especially if the baby will try new food. In addition, do not forget the sun protection products and burn remedies.
If your kid suffers from any disease, take with him all the medications that you use at home. In a foreign country and even in a strange city it can be very difficult to buy what is needed.
Do not forget diapers, cleansing wet wipes, insect bites, cotton buds, baby cream, powder - everything you need to care for the baby.
In long distant trips try not to take large heavy objects like pots. Your first-aid kit should include yourself with a minimal set of everything that could theoretically come in handy, and many great things can easily be replaced with light ones and more compact ones or you can completely abandon them for a while.
Documentation.
In a hurry, you need to remember the necessary documents. You will need a birth certificate of the child, an insurance policy, a certificate of illness, tickets. These documents should always be in your free access so that you do not have to search for them for a long time at the bottom of suitcases.
Food.
Small children do not easily carry long trips, even more difficult for them - get used to a new diet. So try not to forget the bottle, a bottle of water without gas, dry baby food, cookies, garbage bags.
If you are breastfeeding the baby, the journey will be easier, you just need to try to follow a habitual diet and not eat too specific foods.
If the child is already big, then before the trip, do not put it too tightly. Do not take perishable products, raw vegetables and fruits.
If you go to an exotic country, in which the dishes that the child has never tasted, you will have to look for European restaurants or prepare yourself, otherwise rest may end with an allergy or with a stomach disorder.
Clothes and toys.
It is equally important to consider all other needs of the child. Take only those clothes that match the season. If you are going to a hot country or summer cottage, take more easy things that do not crumple and which are easy to wash. In this case, it is not bad to have 1 - 2 sets of warmer things in case of a cold snap.
Shoes should be such as to suit both the heat and rainy weather.
Do not put a lot of toys on the road, otherwise there will not be room for your things. It is enough to take your child's favorite toy, with which, for example, he sleeps or often plays, a book he loves, a player with a favorite fairy tale. Consider that any trip involves additional spending, and back you will go with a lot more things.
It will not be bad if you take a set of baby food and kangaroos if the child is small. Then you do not have to carry a large stroller or hold the baby in your arms. In addition, kangaroos can be worn in turn.
Take another look at the suitcases, think about whether you have forgotten some particularly important thing, whether you took a superfluous one. It's better if your bags are packed a few days before departure - then you will have time to think. Given all the interests of the child, you can ensure yourself a no less pleasant vacation than was before your family was replenished.
