Travelling with kids can be a challenge - especially when you are working while you travel. If you are a mother who travels a lot with your baby, you need to keep a lot in mind. We spoke to Tara Sharma Saluja, who has done quite a few seasons of a successful travel show with kids. Here are the tips she shares...
How can we keep the baby clean when we are on the move?
As a family we travel quite a lot and in fact several of the episodes on our show are shot all over the world like London, Darjeeling, Thailand and France. A lot of new parents are nervous of traveling with babies and young kids, but touch wood I have found that we shouldn't be nervous as traveling with kids can be super fun and not as worrying as one may imagine, Of course the kind of holiday may change, and you may do more kiddy things, but as I often say I find with our kids we have also seen and learnt so many new things about places! For eg in Thailand we had such fun in the street markets etc as the kids were fascinated by all the animals like turtles etc there, in Cannes we went on the red carpet with the kids, not as glam as if it were to win an award haaha, in London the museums and parks etc. When on the move like this, Johnson's Baby wipes are really useful to keep babies and young kids clean! And of course top to toe was as it's a two in one soap and shampoo so small to carry and lovely to give the kids a bath with after a busy day. An other JB bath soap etc.
How does a child-friendly baby products help, when you are traveling?
On all our trips we carry basic necessities for our kids. Johnson's Baby wipes are really useful to keep the kids clean when on the go and also as all their products come in small sizes, they are easy to carry along. Top to Toe being a two in one is very convenient to carry on our travels as well, The JB moisture cream and lotions are great when we travel to cold weather and the kids skin gets dry and also as their products are part of our daily routines, we carry them along so the kids have the comfort of the products they are used to wherever we go. Also The good thing about JB is being a global brand, we can even buy it in other places, in case we forget them! Their products are mild and suit the kids and we love the smell! Also as all kids and babies skin reacts to cream etc differently, it is always good to try a little on your baby's skin first to see that there are no reactions. JB is v mild so our kids and all kids suit them but always check first. (sometimes we indulge in a massage with JB baby oil ourselves:))
What all should be ALWAYS present in a mother's hand bag while traveling?
As always I say each to their own as in you must do and carry what works for you as a mum and family. But a tip of what I usually carry in my handbag, rather baby bag. while traveling with kids are: Johnson's Baby wipes, diapers, for the younger baby, some basic medicines in case God forbid any of the kids isn't feeling well, a change of clothes (if it's a large-ish handbag:), a bottle of water, some finger food healthy snack, a small toy or book to keep them entertained if a long trip, or now a days Roopak carries an i pad to entertain them, and some money in case we need to buy anything! Oh and I forgot about anything for me, that's what tends to happen when you are a mum:), so maybe a lip gloss for myself.
What are the most important points to keep in mind when traveling with kids?
Again each to their own, but when traveling with kids I would recommend firstly relax and enjoy yourselves and as a family decide not to stress! Then on a practical level I would say carry the essentials as listed above including basic medicines in case God forbid needed. Try and keep them in the routines that they are used to so for eg even when we are in Thailand or anywhere else our kids bedtime regime is the same as if we were at home, a warm bath, massage and quiet time, so the kids body clocks and sleep patterns are not too affected.
Of course sometimes timings vary a bit, so don't be too strict on that either. If taking a flight with a small baby, remember to feed, either breastfeed if small or something they can chew, during take off and landing to prevent ear pressure and potential pain and crying. And if going to a cold place of course warms clothes and the opposite for a warm place.
Take or buy fresh food you can mash for small babies and or slowly let them explore new tastes and foods. And try and do things you can enjoy as a family. Swim, do outdoor stuff, have fun! Most importantly when traveling as a family, enjoy every minute and bond! Kids grow so quick! enjoy every minute!
