Good morning!
(XP in May moms)
Tomorrow I'm about to make a 5 hour trip with my 9 week EBF son and my in laws. Im assuming the trip will probably be more along the lines of 7 hours with stopping to stretch/breastfeed. I'm also assuming LO will get fussy (fingers crossed but I'm trying to be realistic!)
Just looking for any tips, tricks or advice. I'm pretty nervous but really hopeful I can make this trip. My mom it at our destination and I cannot wait for her and my brother to see LO!
Any and all advice for travel is greatly welcomed and appreciated!!
TIA and kindest regards!
Re: Traveling w Inlaws -FTM advice please
Schedule the time you are going to leave (if possible) right before his typical longest stretch of sleep and feed him right before you leave. So for example, my DS typically sleeps 4-6 hours starting at about 9pm. So that is when I would leave.
For the most part, expect the baby to just sleep. So easy compared to a bored 3 year old!
Up I pumped in the front seat with a car adaptor. Then for one of his feedings I sat in the backseat and have him a pumped bottle. It worked out great!
