Where how to travel with children
It's not worth planning a little around the world right away, you should start with small distances.This will help the child get used to traveling, and the parents will gain invaluable experience. If you decide to relax, choose one resort place. Be sure to consider which beach you prefer. Sandy is good for toddlers, and older kids love to play with pebbles.

As for the climate, it should not be radically different from the where you live. This minimizes the effects of acclimatization during the rest and on returning home. Look for information to see if there are any plants in the chosen area that cause a powerful allergic reaction, especially if the baby is allergic. For those children who have problems with the respiratory system, it is better to take them to a region where there are many coniferous trees. Often, mothers stay in countries with mild climates: Spain, Greece, Bulgaria, Croatia, Turkey.
Ask about hotels. It matters to you if they have baby changing tables, children's beds, if there is a special menu for little ones and what dishes are offered. It is possible that you will have to choose from a diet menu or buy food for the child separately. It's not scary, but it's better to resolve such issues in advance. Also welcome hotels with animators, nannies, children's mini-clubs.
Best transport — airplane. Firstly, you get there much faster, and secondly, many airlines provide a children's menu. This nuance is also worth considering.

5 possible problems for parents and their solutions
When going on a travel with child , parents most often encounter the following difficulties:
-
Acclimatization and re-acclimatization. On rest, children usually acclimatize well. Most often, the problems relate only to getting used to new food and water. This problem is solved by drugs that help with indigestion. And after returning home, surprises are possible: poor health, colds. Take care of the child: let him stay at home in the first days.
-
Change of time zones. If the time difference is more than 2 hours, prepare for this in advance: teach your child to fall asleep a little earlier or later than usual. This will save your nerves while traveling.
-
Illnesses.Children always fall ill suddenly and at the wrong time. Take care of health insurance, and put essential medicines in — from intestinal disorders, cough, headache, allergies. Be sure to have painkillers and antipyretics.
-
Flight or trip. If you can travel at night, do so. Then the child will sleep all the way, and you will not have to look for something to do with him, and at the same time blush in front of other passengers. Mom's arsenal should include toys, dried fruits, cookies, water, books, coloring books and pencils. In case the of child's ears are stuffed up on the airplane, ear drops are needed.
-
Separation of luggage. You will need a lot of children's things — from clothes and diapers to books. Think in advance what to put in your hand luggage, and what to send in the luggage compartment. You should be comfortable looking for every little thing. By the way, don't forget, there are shops everywhere. Some things you can just buy on the spot.
