How to wear parent-child clothing for travel and what to wear when traveling with children

Taking children to travel is a happy and troublesome thing. Today, the editor will tell you some things to pay attention to when traveling with children. Now you can see together whether you should take them with you. This is how children travel. Luggage

Preparation for parent-child travel is closely related to the destination. For example, if you go to Japan or Thailand, which is a relatively developed country in Southeast Asia, you will save a lot of space in your luggage, because shopping in Japan is very developed and you can buy everything. You don’t need to bring those milk powder and diapers that take up space. As for Vietnam, and it is a backward place like Phu Quoc Island, we can only pack our luggage with the purpose of "being prepared for any eventuality".

At the same time, don’t expect to buy qualified and safe baby food in Vietnam. I brought some snacks, mainly to comfort the baby on the way. Especially when the plane was taking off and landing, all the babies on the plane were crying. I calmly took out the soluble beans and rice cakes to grind Suyi's teeth. She stayed in silent mode until the plane landed. There was a baby of about the same age sitting next to me who kept crying. I gave them two small biscuits and the problem was solved. If it’s a long-distance flight, bring plenty of snacks. For older babies, you may want to bring more toys that don’t make noise.

As for babies who drink milk every day, of course you cannot expect to buy milk powder in Phu Quoc Island. In my memory, I have only seen milk powder for sale in grocery stores at night markets, and the only two types were Abbott and Mead Johnson. The number of days you bring your baby to Phu Quoc Island is generally only 5 or 6 days, so it is best to bring your own milk powder. If you really don’t have any, just get some pure milk from the hotel’s buffet restaurant.

Complementary food powder is added to the porridge in case there is only staple food without other vegetables and meat. But the fact is, she didn't need it, she had a great time eating in the hotel restaurant. When dining outside the hotel, you can eat whatever you want. When she was in Vietnam, she was only 1 and a half years old, and her meals at home were not seasoned. However, when traveling, she doesn’t need to stick to these scientific feeding guidelines. As long as it has a light taste, we will share it with her, and we are also happy to let her taste delicious food from all over the world.

When I go to Southeast Asia, I always bring some medicines, prepared separately for adults and children. The children took medicine to prepare these, but in the end they were too much to eat. Montmorillonite powder helped a lot. In two days, it was completely healed. In tropical areas, it is also recommended to carry electrolyte powder to prevent electrolyte imbalance caused by excessive loss of water in the body. Especially if you have a bad stomach this time, you need to replenish electrolytes.

However, even though they eat badly, the physique of children is completely different from that of adults. Even if she is sick, she is still lively and energetic, eating, drinking and having fun without being affected or delayed. As for adults, the only thing they can do is lie down in the room. If your baby gets sick while traveling, there is no need to be too nervous, as long as you have appropriate coping methods. If it's serious, go to a local hospital.

Toiletries, in better family hotels, you don’t need to bring toothbrush and toothpaste, but Phu Quoc Island is not at this level. Sunscreen is also a must when going to the tropics. It is recommended to apply it thickly, especially when swimming. After swimming, reapply in time.

Another must-have in tropical places is mosquito repellent. Spray it before going out and you will basically not be bitten by mosquitoes. If you are bitten, apply some papaya ointment in a red tube to reduce swelling quickly.

Some of the items commonly kept in mommy bags are basically related to eating. I try to choose disposable ones to avoid the trouble of cleaning. If there is a portable package, choose the portable package. I also chose the foldable bowl and spoon, which saves space in the bag. Not all hotels provide children's tableware, so I usually bring my own, which gives me peace of mind.

I have used this disposable placemat several times and it is very easy to use. The hygienic conditions of some restaurants in Vietnam are average. If you stick this in front of your baby, wipe the area with alcohol disinfectant cotton, and wash your hands with hand sanitizer before eating, you can eat with peace of mind. It doesn’t matter if you don’t bring a bowl, you can just put the food on the placemat for your baby to eat.

The straw lid is also a magic tool. With this, you don’t need to bring a straw cup. It comes with a lid with two radii and a soft straw. As long as it is not a wide-mouth bottle like pulsation, it can be adapted to ordinary PET bottles.

Others, I didn’t take pictures of the diapers, because there is no doubt that you need to bring them with you at this time. If you go swimming, you also need to bring a swimming diaper. There are no supermarkets or even convenience stores on Phu Quoc Island. During the few days we were there, we didn’t see anywhere selling diapers. Therefore, this kind of rigid demand naturally requires a lot of preparation. Fortunately, I was well prepared this time. Even if Suyi had diarrhea and had to change it every half an hour, the diaper would be enough in the end. Parent-child outfits

Bring more clothes, shoes, and socks than the number of days of travel, just in case she accidentally spills the water and gets food on her. Or, you experience diarrhea. You will understand how necessary it is to bring more sets of clothes.

In addition, I will put a long-sleeved shirt in my bag. The air conditioners in airports and planes are all turned on, so I need to add clothes to keep out the cold. Carry one with you in case you need it.

As for the matching of parent-child clothes, this is something that is very tiring when preparing, but it is very satisfying to see the photos. It’s worth putting some thought into matching before you go. I am not the kind of mother who buys identical parent-child clothes. I think the combination of elements, styles, materials, and colors can create a more coherent parent-child look. Of course, this is just a personal opinion. Suyi was still young at that time. When she gets older, there will be more headwear, hats, bags, shoes, etc. that can be used to match parent-child outfits.

I bought both Suyi and I’s clothes, so our aesthetic preferences will be reflected in our clothes. Therefore, it is not difficult to match parent-child clothes.

Goose yellow dress, Suyi’s is a suspender skirt, mine is with three-quarter sleeves, and the skirt has white embroidery. All paired with white sandals and flat straw hats. Very suitable for the beach look.

It is a sky blue dress. The difference is that Suyi’s skirt has white embroidery, while my skirt has mainly red embroidery. It is also very suitable for beach wear, and the color is particularly refreshing.

Red and blue striped dress, I particularly like this color scheme. I've worn this before in Palau, it's a tie-up halter style. Suyi's style is sleeveless and ruffled, and she was originally given white sandals to wear it with. As a result, she insisted on wearing a pair of black shoes before going out, so we respected her.

If you want to go to the amusement park, consider that you have to walk a lot and have to climb up and down, so dress simply and casually. Mine is a black and white plaid ruffled vest, white pleated skirt, and white sandals, and Suyi's is a black and white plaid dress and white sandals. Sometimes it is not necessary that all the items should echo, as long as there are similar elements, for example, this set is black and white checkered clothes and other white items. It would feel far-fetched to try to get exactly the same thing.

It’s also a blue color combination. I don’t like blue either. I think it goes well with the beach. Suyi's dress has blue and white stripes, mine has blue and white polka dots, and there are white embroideries on the skirt. Both skirts are very delicate and I like them both. Originally, I wanted to give Suyi a hairpin of the same color, but she ended up wanting to wear a yellow one herself. Do you feel that your children are young now and have a lot of ideas? Taking your baby on a plane

When taking your baby by plane, it is best to choose a flight time that matches her sleep schedule, and try not to disrupt it by choosing a red-eye flight Her inherent routine. Before the age of 2, the air ticket price for infants is one-tenth of the full fare, and you need to call the airline to book separately. But there is no own seat, so parents need to hold them the whole time. For babies, the flight attendant will issue a special seat belt, which should be worn together with the adult's seat belt and then tied to the baby. After getting on the plane, when the excitement wore off and she fell asleep, everything was fine for us.

In addition to giving your child some snacks as comfort during takeoff and landing, breastfeeding and drinking water are also good options. As long as there are sucking and swallowing movements, the discomfort caused by the sudden change in cabin pressure can be alleviated.

After falling asleep, adults can do whatever they like. I also take a pacifier with me when I get on the plane. Sometimes if it's really noisy, I have to bring out the pacifier to help. Therefore, do not overuse the pacifier to avoid losing its effectiveness at critical moments.

On the plane, the stewardess will distribute blankets, but the number of blankets is limited and sometimes you may not be able to get them.

This goes back to what I just said, it is best to bring a cardigan that can keep out the cold, or a thin blanket that can cover you, then there will be no problem.

What to do after waking up? Besides eating, there is only play. The baby is too young to read picture books by himself, and talking about picture books will disturb others. So I also suggest bringing some silent toys, as long as they are ones your baby usually likes to play with. I specially brought Suyi’s favorite stickers to relieve her boredom on the plane. In order to prevent her from putting stickers everywhere and damaging the environment, I discovered that cleaning bags are a good thing. Just let her stick it on the cleaning bag and it will be fine. Then she will stick it on it obediently and pick it off. These actions will repeat endlessly and she can concentrate on playing for a long time.

If you are like me and are unwilling to cause trouble to others, then you need to do some psychological preparation for yourself before taking your children on the road, and don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Being prepared before departure can indeed reduce the chance of emergencies, but it does not guarantee that the child will not cry or disturb others. You can't not take your child out just because he or she cries. Of course, we cannot deliberately let children cry or scream to disturb others' rest, but for babies, crying is usually not intentional. When you really encounter something that cannot be comforted, you should calm down first and then sincerely apologize to others. I believe most people can understand it.

Next, I will spend a lot of space talking about the hotels in Phu Quoc Island, which is more space than hotels in previous travel notes. No idea, this is an island born for hotels. Which hotel you book will determine most of your fun in Phu Quoc Island. The importance of hotels to the travel experience is almost as important as that of the Maldives. On Phu Quoc Island, I stayed in three hotels and resorts in one day. They should be the three most iconic hotels in Phu Quoc Island. Each has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.
