What should children pay attention to when traveling for a long time?

Precautions for taking the baby by plane

Generally speaking, it is not recommended for babies under 1 year old to fly because their lung function is not fully developed; However, babies over 1 year old can fly as long as they are healthy, but the following matters should be noted:

▲ When booking a plane ticket, tell the airline that you will bring a baby and ask the airline to arrange a suitable seat for you (some airlines have a maternal and child seat).

▲ Arrange time, it is best to reserve time to deal with emergencies, because you don't know what may happen to your baby.

▲ Don't have too much carry-on baggage, so as not to be laborious and inconvenient to move.

▲ Keep the baby awake during take-off and landing, and reduce his anxiety and ear discomfort caused by long-distance flight by letting him suck the nipple and drink water.

▲ Try to arrange your baby to sleep during the flight.

▲ Prepare some snacks for your baby to eat on the plane, so as not to make your baby like the food on the plane.

▲ It's best to hold the baby on the plane and don't let the baby walk around to avoid bumping and getting hurt.

Prevent the baby from getting carsick.

During long-distance travel, whether by train, ship or plane, the baby may feel dizzy, which is medically called "carsick". Babies under 2 years old rarely get carsick. 3- 12-year-old babies are the most prone to motion sickness. Babies are particularly prone to this symptom when they are on an empty stomach, full stomach, tired and nervous. Preventive measures include:

▲ Don't give your baby too much food on the way, don't let your baby starve, and eat less greasy food and sweets.

▲ Ensure adequate sleep before going out and try to make your baby happy on the road.

▲ Try not to let the baby see the fast-moving scenery outside the window.

▲ If your baby is dizzy, you can apply an ice towel on your forehead to prevent your baby from nausea and vomiting.

▲ Before a long trip, help your baby stretch the muscles of his back and legs.

▲ If the baby says that his stomach is uncomfortable or has disgusting symptoms, you can give the baby a small amount of biscuits to relieve the stomach that is too peristalsis.

▲ Open the window and let the air circulate.

▲ Children who are known to get carsick should take motion sickness medicine orally before riding, and infants under 1 year old can take antihistamines orally as motion sickness medicine.

▲ Solid food digests faster than liquid food. Try to give your baby solid food.

Travel health problems

▲ Long-distance ride, the baby is prone to respiratory infection, with symptoms such as fever, runny nose, cough, headache and sore throat. You can give your baby antipyretics first and continue to observe. If the situation worsens, you should get off the bus and take the baby for treatment.

▲ Pay attention to rotavirus infection, especially for babies under 2 years old. Symptoms are vomiting, watery diarrhea, and may be accompanied by fever. Once the baby has the above situation, it is necessary to supplement the baby with water and electrolyte in time.

▲ Traveling abroad is most afraid of baby's gastrointestinal problems. Babies who start to eat complementary food are prone to diarrhea, stomachache, severe dehydration and other symptoms due to food changes or drinking water. Therefore, you must prepare some gastrointestinal drugs and clean drinking water before going out, and always pay attention to your baby's diet and tableware hygiene.

Dress appropriately.

When going out, the most feared thing is that the child is sick. During the Spring Festival, the temperature difference between the north and the south is large, and the baby will get sick if he is not careful. Therefore, it is convenient to put on and undress your baby, and don't put too much clothes on your baby. You can wear one more than adults when you are outdoors, otherwise wearing too much will make your baby sweat and catch a cold more easily. If the baby has atopic dermatitis, it is necessary to avoid wearing clothes that are too tight and airtight, and sweaters should be avoided as much as possible.

What about tinnitus and earache?

Many people have experienced ear discomfort when flying, especially when taking off and landing. This is because after the plane takes off, the sunken ground is the same as the atmospheric pressure at high altitude, which causes the pressure of the external ear to become lower and the eardrum to protrude slightly to the external ear; When the plane lands, the eardrum will sink into the middle ear, causing tinnitus and earache. In order to prevent these discomforts, you can open your mouth or swallow saliva when the plane takes off or lands, or you can let your baby chew gum, especially the baby with a cold and stuffy nose.

What about diarrhea?

When traveling, the baby's diet should be extra careful, especially drinking water. Try to give the baby as little snacks as possible. When you go out, you can bring some snacks and fruits to your baby to eat on the road. Once the baby has diarrhea, it should be handled like this:

▲ Don't give your baby milk food.

▲ The taste is as light as possible to avoid letting the baby eat food with too many condiments.

▲ Avoid giving your baby high-fiber food (fruits and vegetables). Excessive fiber will accelerate the peristalsis of the stomach and make diarrhea more serious.

How to appease the baby during a long journey?

▲ If you are driving by yourself, pay attention to the correct use of safety seats.

▲ If you take a long-distance train, when the train stops, take the baby out for a run and let the baby vent too much energy.

▲ Prepare some simple snacks that your baby usually likes to eat.

▲ No matter what kind of transportation you take, your baby may cry because of discomfort. After driving for a long time, it is estimated that parents are exhausted to appease the baby. Parents should prepare some toys that the baby usually likes in advance, which will help to divert the baby's attention and calm the baby's mood.

▲ You can play games with your baby in the car to reduce your baby's anxiety.

▲ Don't scold the baby during the trip, so as not to cause psychological pressure on the baby, praise the baby more and create a pleasant trip.

▲ Long journey, not only adults will feel tired, but also babies will feel very hard. Parents need to let their babies have enough sleep and rest space.

Taking a child out for a trip is most afraid of his noisy and willful behavior, which not only gives parents a headache, but also reduces the atmosphere of the trip. I hope to help parents calm their baby's mood.

The problems that the baby should pay attention to when riding.

▲ Don't leave your baby alone in the car if you need to take care of it under 6 years old.

▲ Don't let the baby sit in front.

▲ If you are driving by yourself, prepare a safety seat for your baby.
