This is a short episode in between interviews. I give you ten tips to help set you up for successful travel with an infant.

The ten, or so, tips:

1. Formula, breast milk, and whole milk – dealing with security
2. Practical tips for getting through the airport and on your plane
3. The Baby Bjorn and its virtues
4. Communication and flexibility are key
5. Take care of yourself to be in a place to take care of your baby
6. Setting up cues and routines for successful sleep
7. Time saving tips
8. Melatonin and other sleep aids
9. Be active when not on the plane
10. Timing and planning of flights

Products mentioned:

• US Passport info for children under 16 – click here
• Melatonin – click here – This is an excellent tool to reset your sleep cycle when traveling. My wife and I have given it to our 18-month-old daughter on international and domestic flights to aid sleep. (Don’t do so without consulting your physician.) I’ve linked to the 3 mg tablets. There are also 5 mg tablets from NOW Foods.
