Tips for solo travel with the baby

Planning on going to Europe in a couple of months but I'm doing on my own with the baby. For those who did it, what did you take it with you, and how did you manage to carry it all by yourself? 🙏

Forgot to mention - I'd be taking a flight ✈️

are you going on multiple trips around europe or just a one and back? X

Just one and back

No advice I just think you're a cool person 💃

I’ve frequently travelled solo with kids. I would invest in a cabin approved stroller, a decent baby carrier and luggage that can be both rolled or carried on your back. A bum bag is also useful for your essentials. If travelling for a week I take 3 days worth of clothes and then wash halfway through the week. Depending on where you are staying most baby essentials can be bought locally (nappies, wipes etc). I breastfeed and do BLW once 6+ months so have always found feeding abroad easy too. Good luck you’ll have a blast!

Thanks @Jenny , what did you do about the car seat?

I always just used public transport (buses/trains/trams) when solo so no car seat needed. But when I travelled to more resort style areas we took a baby car seat/infant carrier in the hold- you can normally check them in for free. Personally i wouldn’t ever use car seats provided by a taxi company etc as you have no idea if it’s the correct fit or how it’s been stored. I’m also not comfortable travelling in a taxi with an infant on my lap.
