EMMA CASTLE discovers there’s more than one way to holiday with a baby in tow.
Have baby, will travel! Figuring out where to take your baby on their first big trip can seem overwhelming. After all, what should you pack? How will bubs cope with a long car trip or flight? How will you cope? And exactly what kind of holiday will work for your new family?
It’s scary stuff, but this guide is designed to take the guesswork out of where to take your baby on holidays. Because let’s face it, no-one needs a holiday right now more than you. So, new parents, it’s time to choose your own adventure.
Camp
Where to go? Australia
Nicole Leyden is an intrepid camper who has taken her four-year-old and two-yearold camping since they were born.
Nicole says, “Be prepared for the first night to be harder to get the kids off to sleep, but if you do it often enough they get used to it. Our four-year-old now sleeps in a swag outside of the tent and loves it.
“When it comes to bathing your baby, stay in a camping ground with hot showers or, even better, buy a really small inflatable baby pool and use that to bathe the kids in,” suggests Nicole.
Packing guide “When it comes to packing, we take the IKEA high chair with us; it’s hard to squeeze in, but it’s worth it. Don’t take too many toys as they just get lost, broken and dirty. Make sure you take plenty of changes of clothes. If you have a camp fridge, cook meals and freeze them before the trip. Otherwise plan really simple meals,” says Nicole.
