Baby Sleep Problems While Traveling? These How To Travel With Your Baby Tips May Prove Helpful
Travel is a busy and stressful time. If you are dragging your baby around with you, it will also be stressful times for your baby. If you are going to a family reunion, all those people could make your baby get over active.
If you are in a cold climate, make sure that you don't overheat your home. This will cause your baby not to sleep comfortably. Also if the room is too hot it becomes unsafe as far as SIDS goes. Keep the room temp at about 72 degrees. Traveling with your baby by plane is something that would make me shudder. Now a-days there are so many travel delays that you better be well prepared for.
Recently my brother had to go to another State on business. He usually takes his wife and very young child. He was so thankful that they did not go along this time because he had so many delays, layovers and lost connections that he did not even know how they could have made it through a very tough time.
Once you are on the plane give your baby something to eat or drink during takeoff and landing. Offer a pacifier at the very least and do wake your baby up during the take off and landing and do the above to help with any ear issues.
Okay, here it is night time and the kid is not going to sleep. What to do!?
Here are a few tips.
* Give your baby a warm bath.
* At the fist signs of fussiness, put your baby to bed.
* Try rocking your baby in your arms or rocking chair.
* Try walking around with your baby in your arms.
* I read about CD's that have nothing but white noise on them that help baby settle down. There was one that was a sound of a hair dryer and another of a vacuum cleaner! Go figure.
* Or you can get a music CD made specially to help babies sleep.
*If you have already set up a night time routine, that means it’s time for bed and sleep for your baby as suggested in some of my other articles, DON'T change that routine, whatever it takes.
At the very least do your best to keep your baby from getting over excited during the day during these very busy and fun times. And I invite you to give thought to your baby's needs during travel and use these simple tips.
