								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>Travelling to Australia From India</strong></span></h1>
<p>Australia is one of the favourite holiday destinations for Indians. The possibility for one to experience the diversity in culture and nature, the adventure in fishing and camping, and the thrill of surfing, swimming, diving and other similar sports are just some of the reasons why it is such a favourite destination. However, anybody travelling to Australia from India must remember that Australia follows a different time zone. In this article, we will discuss tips for travelling to Australia from India.</p>
<p>Before you embark on a fabulous day trip to Australia, make sure that your luggage is safe. Check out <a href="https://mindmybag.com/sydney" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">mindmybag’s luggage storage locations</a> in Sydney.</p>
<p>Also, make sure to visit <a href="https://growingwithnemit.com/packing-hacks-traveling-with-kids/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Packing Hacks Traveling with Kids</a> to have more enjoyable and cost-effective travel experiences.</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Choose the Right Airport</span></strong></h2>
<p>You can choose from three airports in India that offer direct flights to Sydney, Melbourne and Perth &#8211; <em>Chennai, Mumbai and Bangalore</em>. If you&#8217;re travelling with kids or on a budget, Mumbai would be your best bet, as AirAsia offers cheap flights from here. However, if you have time or want more options, go for Bangalore or Chennai, as they provide better connectivity with other airlines such as Jet Airways and Emirates.</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Know Which Airlines Fly Non-stop to Australia From India</span></strong></h2>
<p>The most popular airlines to fly non-stop to Australia are <em>Qantas, Emirates and Singapore Airlines (SIA)</em>. These airlines offer daily flights from India&#8217;s major airports like Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai. The only exception is SIA which operates only once a week from Kolkata. If you&#8217;re flying from Kolkata, choosing an airline that flies directly to Sydney or Melbourne instead of one that goes via Singapore or Dubai (which means more stopovers) is best.</p>
<h2> <strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Give Yourself Enough Time to Get There</span></strong></h2>
<p>Travelling from India to Australia can be a long journey, so give yourself plenty of time for the trip. Depending on your point of origin, you may have to fly through several other countries before reaching Sydney or Melbourne. Allow <em>at least two days for transit in these cities, and add another day if you travel by bus or train between towns</em>. If possible, book tickets well in advance so that you can get the best deals on flights and accommodations.</p>
<h2><strong> <span style="color: #ff6600;">Have Your Visa Documents Ready</span></strong></h2>
<p>To enter Australia from India, you&#8217;ll need a valid visa in your passport and enough money to cover expenses during your visit. If you&#8217;re visiting friends or family, your host will probably sponsor your application for an eVisitor visa online at <a href="http://www.immi.gov.au/eVisitor/access/">www.immi.gov.au/eVisitor/access/</a>. Suppose you&#8217;re coming as a tourist or business visitor and plan to stay less than three months. In that case, you&#8217;ll also need to show proof of financial resources sufficient to support yourself while in Australia &#8211; this might mean showing copies of bank statements or credit cards with available funds set aside expressly for travel expenses (note: if you plan on working while in Australia, don&#8217;t use these funds).</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Don&#8217;t Carry Prohibited Items in Your Carry-on or Checked Luggage</span></strong></h2>
<p>Many items are prohibited from being carried in your hand baggage or checked baggage. Some of these include aerosols, flammable liquids, alcohol and other chemicals like acids, fireworks and knives with blades that exceed 6 cm in length. Security staff can confiscate these items at airports and ports if found during a routine check. If an item is seized by airport personnel, then there will be no refund or compensation given for any losses incurred due to this action taken by them.</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Travel Insurance</span></strong></h2>
<p>Travelling anywhere can be risky, especially if you are travelling overseas. Getting travel insurance before embarking on a long journey like this one is advisable because it could save you from any financial loss if something happens while you&#8217;re away from home (like losing luggage). Travel insurance also covers medical expenses incurred due to an injury or illness while travelling abroad too.</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Budgeting</span></strong></h2>
<p>Budgeting is the key to a successful travelling plan, as it will help you track your spending and ensure that you don&#8217;t overspend on unnecessary things. The best way to budget for your trip is by listing everything you need and then adding up their prices. It might be a good idea to ask if anyone knows of any discounts or coupons available for these items so that you can get them at cheaper rates.</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Accommodation</span></strong></h2>
<p>Accommodation in Australia can be costly compared to other countries, so you must find out which hotels offer affordable rates before booking anything. You can also look up websites such as <em>TripAdvisor or Expedia</em> that offer cheap hotels near major attractions in Australia at discounted rates during off-season periods (November-March) when most tourists visit this country anyway!</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Don&#8217;t Overpack</span></strong></h2>
<p>It would be best if you never forgot that weight is an issue when travelling by air. So, try to pack light so you don&#8217;t have any problems at the airport or on board an aircraft. Also, ensure your luggage meets the size requirements of airlines like Qantas, Jetstar or Virgin Australia etc. You can consult their websites for more information on this topic before packing your bags for your holiday.</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Wrapping Up</span></strong></h2>
<p>Ideally, you should have an open visa if you visit Australia from India. This allows for <em>multiple entries into Australia within a specified period</em>, enabling you to come and go as you please. If you don&#8217;t have one of these visas, hopefully, this guide will make getting a Visa easier for you.</p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>A to Z of Traveling with Babies and Toddlers</strong></span></h1>
<p>Hey guys, this is my last post of the A to Z series of Traveling with Kids. I hope you liked reading our travelogues and found the tips helpful. My only aim to share our travel experiences was to show that traveling with babies and toddlers is not that difficult. It&#8217;s one of those things that you learn to enjoy once you step into it.</p>
<p>Mommies and daddies, there is nothing that can stop you from traveling and exploring new places with your kids. You just have to prepare well and take that plunge. I feel if I could convince even one family to keep their fears aside and plan their first vacation with their child, my work will be done. But this is not the end, it is just the beginning. And soon we will see more and more families taking up traveling with their babies.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>The world is waiting for you!</strong></span></p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #333399;">26 Best Tips for Traveling with Babies and Toddlers</span></strong></h2>
<p>I am listing down 26 of our best travel tips which we have learned during the last 3 years of traveling with Nemit. Some of these we learned from our own mistakes. And, others from our own hit and trial. Check these out-</p>
<p>1- <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://growingwithnemit.com/traveling-with-kids-fun-tips/">Prepare yourself</a></span></span>. Ask yourself if you are ready for it or need more time. If every time the answer comes a &#8216;yes&#8217;, then don&#8217;t think much &amp; take the plunge.</p>
<p>2- <span style="color: #0000ff;">Prepare your child</span>. If your baby or the toddler has a routine for most of the things then half of your work is already done. If not, try maintaining a schedule for your child. It will not only help during your vacation but will go a long way.</p>
<p>3- <a href="http://growingwithnemit.com/traveling-with-kids-fun-tips/"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;">Travel as a Family</span></span></span></a>. I have shared this tip earlier also and I will say this again. Remember when you are on a family vacation, your focus should be on your family only.</p>
<p>4- <span style="color: #0000ff;">Divide your tasks</span>. To avoid any difficult situations divide your baby duties so that it doesn&#8217;t feel like a burden to anyone. Don&#8217;t set unrealistic expectations &amp; clear the expectations before taking the trip.</p>
<p>5- <a href="http://growingwithnemit.com/packing-hacks-traveling-with-kids/"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;">Packing</span></span></span></a>. Don&#8217;t overpack otherwise most of your time will go in finding stuff from the bags. Use packing cubes if you have a small baby, these cubes will be really helpful in keeping the small clothes organized in one place.</p>
<p>6- <span style="color: #0000ff;">Where to go</span>. You should do thorough research of the place where you are going to. In addition, plan your itinerary very carefully, keep a day free in your plan.</p>

<p>7- <span style="color: #0000ff;">Booking a Flight</span>. If you are afraid of taking a long flight with your child, prepare in advance. Book a flight time which corresponds to your child&#8217;s nap time.</p>
<p>8- <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;"><a style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://growingwithnemit.com/travelling-toddler-toys-activity-books/">Keep them engaged</a></span></span>. Pack enough activities to keep him engaged and also keep a lot of snacks for munching.</p>
<p>9- <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://growingwithnemit.com/tips-choose-kid-friendly-hotel/">Booking a Hotel</a></span></span>. Before booking a place to stay do check the latest reviews on Google as well as travel websites. Also, remember to book only a kid-friendly hotel.</p>
<p>10- <a href="http://growingwithnemit.com/why-book-an-airbnb-with-kids/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;">Book an Airbnb</span></span></a>. If you are planning a budget trip, look for an Airbnb property.</p>
<p>11- <span style="color: #0000ff;">Keep Balance</span>.  It&#8217;s important to keep a balance between leisure time and activity time. Toddlers don&#8217;t like lazying around for long, keep their interests in mind.</p>
<p>12- <span style="color: #0000ff;">Be Flexible</span>. When you are traveling with kids, you can&#8217;t be on a tight schedule. Be flexible and open to last minute changes.</p>
<p>13- <span style="color: #0000ff;">Entertainment for kids</span>. Look out for fun entertainment options for your toddlers. Check if there&#8217;s an <a href="http://growingwithnemit.com/lidder-river-lidder-amusement-park-kids/">amusement park</a> where you are going and plan half a day for them. For babies, look out for safe play areas.</p>

<p><iframe class="wp-embedded-content" sandbox="allow-scripts" security="restricted" src="http://growingwithnemit.com/outfit-ideas-beach-vacation-toddler-boys/embed/#?secret=uOMPO52vXE" data-secret="uOMPO52vXE" width="600" height="338" title="&#8220;11 Cool Outfit Ideas for Toddler Boys on a Beach Vacation&#8221; &#8212; Growing With Nemit" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div>
<p>14- <a href="http://growingwithnemit.com/the-x-factor-traveling-kids-extraordinary/"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff6600; text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;">Meet the locals</span></span></span></span></a>. An excellent way for kids to learn about people and their culture. And, also to make new friends.</p>
<p>15- <span style="color: #0000ff;">Travel Bag</span>. Keep a backpack instead of a handbag for a day out. Always carry the wipes, snack box, an extra outfit, and your child&#8217;s favorite toy in the bag.</p>
<p>16- <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;"><a style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://growingwithnemit.com/traveling-with-toddler-five-essentials/">Travel Essentials</a></span></span>. Make note of travel essentials you need to carry always. When Nemit was a baby, his carrier was an essential item for us. And, when he graduated to toddler stage, we always carried his stroller along.</p>
<p>17- <span style="color: #0000ff;">Check the weather</span>. Always check the weather during your travel dates.</p>
<p>18- <span style="color: #0000ff;">Medicines &amp; Prescription</span>. Before going on a vacation, get a general checkup done for your baby. And, get a prescription for travel medicines.</p>
<p>19- <span style="color: #0000ff;">Keep a torch</span>. During our Meghalaya trip, we realized how big a mistake it was to not keep a torch with us.</p>

<p>20- <span style="color: #0000ff;">Carry a power bank</span>. Again, if you are traveling to an offbeat location, the power bank is a must.</p>
<p>21- <span style="color: #0000ff;">Keep your cool</span>. It is very easy to get frustrated when you are in a new place &amp; your kids come up with weird demands or start showing tantrums. Losing temper may not help anyone, try to take control of the situation with a cool mind.</p>
<p>22- <span style="color: #0000ff;">Booking a driver</span>. Most of the times we book a single cab for our travels. But there were incidences when we didn&#8217;t like the behavior of the driver. Hence, it is advisable to confirm the booking for the whole trip only after spending 1 day with the driver.</p>
<p>23- <span style="color: #0000ff;">Check your documents</span>. I have mentioned in one of my posts, how my mom had to go back from the airport when the officials found her passport damaged, which she was not aware of. It&#8217;s always better to check all the documents before taking the trip.</p>
<p>24- <span style="color: #0000ff;">Carry enough cash</span>. Even though there are ATMs everywhere, it is still a sensible idea to carry enough cash. And, don&#8217;t keep all the cash in one place.</p>
<p>25- <span style="color: #0000ff;">Keep a nice camera</span>. Invest in a nice phone with a great camera or buy a nice camera to capture all your lovely travel moments with your family. These will become your most treasured memories.</p>
<p>26- <span style="color: #0000ff;">Enjoy your time</span>. Most importantly, don&#8217;t forget to enjoy each and every moment with your kids. Make the most of this time and you will go back as a better person. Take my word!</p>
<h3>So, these are some of the best tips from our travel experience and these somewhat cover the A to Z of traveling with kids. I am sure these tips will come really handy for families traveling for the first time with their babies and toddlers. Don&#8217;t forget to leave a comment below and do share it with your friends and family.</h3>

<p>Hey guys, summers are around the corner and most of you must have already made plans for your summer vacation. Going on vacation as a single person or a couple is an entirely different thing to <a href="http://growingwithnemit.com/adventure-trips-toddler/">going on vacation as a family with young children</a>. Parents worry about a lot of things. And when they are away from home in unfamiliar surroundings – no matter how lovely, and exciting those surroundings might be – it can make things feel even more stressful.</p>
<p>A family summer vacation is meant to be fun and enjoyable. So it’s important to <strong>think about your safety and that of your family</strong> ahead of time. Put into practice what needs to be done, and then enjoy the vacation itself. Here are some tips on what you can do.</p>

<h2><strong><span style="color: #333399;">1- Research Your Destination</span></strong></h2>
<p>You might have an idea of where you want to take your family on summer vacation this year, but before you go ahead and book it, make sure you <a href="https://filmora.wondershare.com/family-n-business/how-to-choose-your-holiday-destination.html" rel="nofollow">do your research first</a>. Not only should you take a look at flights, car rental, hotels, and activities. But look deeper to see whether the place is a safe one to visit with children (or at all).</p>

<p>The best way to do this is to <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.in/" rel="nofollow">read unbiased reviews</a> from people who have actually been to the destination you are considering. What did they think? Did they feel safe? Did everyone enjoy themselves? If you’re not sure or the reviews aren’t good, it might be best to think of somewhere else to go. The world is a big place and there are sure to be plenty of destinations that will suit what you are looking for.</p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #333399;">2- Invest In Anti-Theft Items</span></strong></h2>
<p>It’s a good idea to put everything you need for a day out on vacation into one bag. It saves everyone having to carry lots of things around with them. The problem, though, is that this one bag can then become a target for muggers and thieves. The answer is to buy an <strong>anti-theft backpack</strong> from <a href="https://www.zoomlite.com.au/collections/antitheft-slashproof-travel-bags">Zoomlite</a>. This way, no one will be able to slash open your bag and steal the contents. And, everything will remain safe and secure.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>3- Have A Plan</strong></span></h2>
<p>Your kids will know not to wander off, but sometimes excitement or a large crowd can mean it happens anyway. It’s important to know what to do if you lose someone when you are out and about.</p>

<p>The first thing to do is to ensure your <strong>contact details are with the child</strong>. This might be a piece of paper in a bag or pocket. Or it could be a wristband with all the relevant details on it. Secondly, <strong>take a photo of your kids</strong> in the morning. That way, if you need to let people know what they are wearing and what they look like, you have the most up to date photo possible. Next, once you arrive at your destination, look for an easy to find landmark. It might be a road sign, a café, a billboard, or anything else. Tell your kids that if they lose you, to <strong>head for that landmark</strong>. And you will do the same so you can meet one another there.</p>

<p>It’s not something most parents will want to think about. But having a plan in place just in case and not needing one is better than needing a plan and not having one.</p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #333399;">Travel Food Tips for babies &amp; toddlers</span></strong></h1>
<p>The most difficult thing to manage while <strong>traveling with babies &amp; toddlers is their food</strong>. Hence, in this post, I&#8217;ll be sharing some of the <strong>best travel food tips</strong> which I&#8217;m sure will be helpful while planning a trip with kids. Also, I will be covering <strong>travel food tips for 0 to 3-year-old kids</strong>, which are the most difficult child stages when it comes to traveling.</p>
<p>When we talk about planning a vacation with kids, many moms start getting anxiety attacks. Because for them traveling with kids is not a vacation. It is still easy to manage kids at home however while traveling it becomes a herculean task for some. What if I tell you that with <strong>proper planning &amp; the travel food tips am sharing</strong>, you too can enjoy your vacation to the best?</p>
<p>If you have been following me for some time now, then you must be aware of how much <strong>we love traveling with Nemit</strong>. We have traveled extensively with our son (who is presently 3 years old) since he was a little baby.</p>
<p>And with experience, we have learned a lot of <strong>travel tricks</strong> which I love sharing with my friends &amp; readers. So, without wasting any further time, let&#8217;s get back on with the topic. And <strong>help you plan a perfect vacation</strong>.</p>
<p>You may also read- <a href="http://growingwithnemit.com/tips-plan-kid-friendly-holiday/">How to plan a kid-friendly holiday?</a></p>
<p>I am categorizing the travel food tips according to age from baby to infant to toddler as every stage has a different food need.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>1- Travel Food Tips when traveling with a baby (1 to 6 months old)</strong></span></h2>
<p>It is usually said that the mother &amp; the baby should stay at home &amp; take rest for the<strong> first 45 days after delivery</strong>. Since the <strong>newborn babies are prone to infections</strong> as their immune systems are not fully developed. And, mothers need time to recover &amp; regain energy.</p>
<div id="attachment_3327" style="width: 510px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3327" class=" wp-image-3327" src="http://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-babies-1.jpg" alt="Best Travel Food Tips for babies &amp; toddlers (o-3 yo)- Traveling with kids" width="500" height="500" srcset="https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-babies-1-20x20.jpg 20w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-babies-1-66x66.jpg 66w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-babies-1-200x200.jpg 200w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-babies-1-400x400.jpg 400w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-babies-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-babies-1.jpg 719w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /><p id="caption-attachment-3327" class="wp-caption-text">20-days-old Nemit</p></div>
<p>But, this is also the time when we <strong>mothers feel the most restless</strong> &amp; just want to run away from all the hectic &amp; sleepless schedule. If you happen to plan a vacation when your baby is in the <strong>age group 1 to 6 months old</strong>, you actually don&#8217;t have to think much if you are <a href="http://growingwithnemit.com/extended-breastfeeding-brain-boosters/">exclusively breastfeeding</a>.</p>
<p>In case, you are using <strong>bottle feeds</strong> (either pumped milk or formula milk), I would suggest you to either skip traveling for the first 6 months. Or, <strong>not to travel far &amp; long</strong>. Simply because there will be a lot to pack. But, if you can manage that, then go ahead &amp; have fun!</p>
<h3><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Tips for traveling with bottle fed babies</strong></span></h3>
<ul>
<li>Carrying a sterilizer is a must</li>
<li>Pack at least 3 bottles (or more) depending on how much time you will be spending outdoors</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t forget to carry the powder dispenser (if the baby is on formula feed)</li>
<li>Also, a flask to carry hot water while on the move</li>
</ul>
<div id="attachment_3328" style="width: 510px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3328" class=" wp-image-3328" src="http://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-babies-2.jpg" alt="Best Travel Food Tips for babies &amp; toddlers (o-3 yo)- Traveling with kids" width="500" height="400" srcset="https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-babies-2-20x16.jpg 20w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-babies-2-177x142.jpg 177w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-babies-2-200x160.jpg 200w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-babies-2-400x320.jpg 400w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-babies-2-600x480.jpg 600w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-babies-2-768x614.jpg 768w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-babies-2-800x640.jpg 800w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-babies-2.jpg 899w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /><p id="caption-attachment-3328" class="wp-caption-text">Nemit&#8217;s 1st road trip (2-months-old)</p></div>
<p>Nemit&#8217;s <strong>1st official long </strong><a href="http://growingwithnemit.com/road-trip-car-safety/">road trip</a> was when he was <strong>2 months old</strong>. We literally had to pack the whole house in our bags even though he was exclusively breastfed. So, plan wisely! <strong>Try staycation instead of a vacation</strong>.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>2- Travel Food Tips when traveling with an infant (6 to 12 months old)</strong></span></h2>
<p>Once your baby starts semi-solids, it&#8217;s a good time to take them out on a vacation. However, you will still have to pack a lot since their <strong>food needs a lot of preparation</strong>.</p>
<p>Now, again if you are breastfeeding, your load of packing will lessen down. But, there&#8217;s no hiding if your baby takes the bottle feed.</p>
<p>The good part is you can plan the <a href="http://growingwithnemit.com/summer-weekend-getaway-kausani/">weekend getaways</a> or a small vacation if you have just introduced solids &amp; following the <strong>3-day rule</strong>. So, you can just carry on with the breast/bottle/formula feed &amp; give mashed bananas or any other fruit in between feeds.</p>
<p>Nemit&#8217;s <strong>2nd long trip was Goa</strong> when he was <strong>7 months old</strong> &amp; that was also his first flight experience.</p>
<div id="attachment_3332" style="width: 511px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3332" class=" wp-image-3332" src="http://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-infants-2.jpg" alt="Best Travel Food Tips for babies &amp; toddlers (o-3 yo)- Traveling with kids" width="501" height="376" srcset="https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-infants-2-20x15.jpg 20w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-infants-2-200x150.jpg 200w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-infants-2-400x300.jpg 400w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-infants-2-600x450.jpg 600w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-infants-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-infants-2-800x600.jpg 800w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-infants-2-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-infants-2.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px" /><p id="caption-attachment-3332" class="wp-caption-text">Goa Trip (7-months-old)</p></div>
<h3><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Tips for traveling with infants</strong></span></h3>
<ul>
<li>Do pack the above-mentioned things if your baby takes the bottle feed</li>
<li>Carrying a sterilizer is still a must</li>
<li>Also, keep a small bowl, spoon &amp; a masher (all sterilizable)</li>
<li>Give fruits which can be peeled off (banana, mango, chikoo, papaya, etc)</li>
<li>You can also carry baby food such as cerelac (homemade cerelac is a great option)</li>
<li>For 8 month+ babies, you can carry snacks as well, very helpful to keep them occupied (carry teething snacks is also a great option if your baby is teething)</li>
</ul>
<p>Don&#8217;t experiment with outside food for your baby, give only freshly cut fruits &amp; homemade food/snacks.</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;"> I would suggest not to give any packaged food to babies at least for a year. Also, avoid sugar &amp; salt.</span></strong></p>
</blockquote>
<h2><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>3- Travel Food Tips when traveling with a toddler (1 to 2 years old)</strong></span></h2>
<p>Most babies start walking around 12-18 months. They get more curious &amp; interested in exploring their surroundings. You can easily <strong>carry them in a stroller</strong> &amp; they will enjoy the ride as well as the experience.</p>

<p>We planned an <strong>International trip to Malaysia</strong> for celebrating Nemit&#8217;s<strong> 1st birthday</strong>. We went completely prepared &amp; had a great vacation.</p>

<p>That made us plan <strong>another International trip to the Maldives</strong> just after a month &amp; that too was super amazing.</p>
<p>Next vacation was a <a href="http://growingwithnemit.com/travelling-toddler-toys-activity-books/">10 day trip to Kerala</a> when Nemit was 19 months old.</p>
<div id="attachment_3335" style="width: 510px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-3335" class=" wp-image-3335" src="http://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-toddlers-2.jpg" alt="Best Travel Food Tips for babies &amp; toddlers (o-3 yo)- Traveling with kids" width="500" height="400" srcset="https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-toddlers-2-20x16.jpg 20w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-toddlers-2-177x142.jpg 177w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-toddlers-2-200x160.jpg 200w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-toddlers-2-400x320.jpg 400w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-toddlers-2-600x480.jpg 600w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-toddlers-2-768x615.jpg 768w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-toddlers-2-800x640.jpg 800w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Travel-Food-Tips-for-toddlers-2.jpg 1066w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /><p id="caption-attachment-3335" class="wp-caption-text">Kerala Trip (19-months-old)</p></div>
<p>At this age, babies don&#8217;t remember anything but they enjoy a lot if the plans are made keeping their comfort &amp; needs in mind. A year old baby starts eating almost everything. Most parents even <strong>start giving them the</strong> <strong>same food that the family eats</strong>. We did the same &amp; that helped a lot. Just carry the <a href="http://growingwithnemit.com/traveling-with-toddler-five-essentials/">travel essentials</a> and you are sorted.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>Tips for traveling with young toddlers</strong></span></h3>
<ul>
<li>No need to carry the sterilizer anymore, make sure you clean the bottles &amp; bowls with hot water immediately after feeding &amp; again clean with boiling water before next feed.</li>
<li>Let your toddler eat whatever food is available, do check for excess salt/sugar/chilly. Also, make sure that your baby is not allergic to any food item.</li>
<li>If they don&#8217;t like the food, ask for bread, plain rice, baked beans, baked potatoes, french fries (these are easily available)</li>
<li>Carry a lot of snacks with you (preferably homemade &amp; healthy)</li>
<li>Fruits are always a savior (at least in our case)</li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>4- Travel Food Tips when traveling with a toddler (2 to 3 years old)</strong></span></h2>
<p>As per our experience, 2 to 3 years old toddler stage is the best when it comes to traveling &amp; exploring new places. These little humans are just amazing if we can just ignore their <a href="http://growingwithnemit.com/toddler-tantrums-parenting-mantra/">tantrums</a>. They love everything &amp; enjoy every new experience.</p>
<p>For us, 2018 turned out to be really amazing as we were able to achieve most of our travel goals. We traveled to <strong>9 new places in India in just 1 year</strong>. Check out our travel list below-</p>
<ol>
<li>Jan &#8211; <a href="http://growingwithnemit.com/birthday-trip-andaman-islands/">Andaman Islands</a></li>
<li>Feb- Jim Corbett National Park</li>
<li>May- <a href="http://growingwithnemit.com/7-things-to-do-kausani-weekend-trip/">Kasauni</a></li>
<li>July- <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BlhZIy2hihK/">Udaipur</a> &amp; Mt. Abu</li>
<li>Aug- Pondicherry</li>
<li>Oct- <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BpjHx2wg03y/">Kashmir</a> (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BpFJrzUhQWB/">Pahalgam</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BprkURmgmU7/">Gulmarg</a>, Sonmarg)</li>
<li>Nov- <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BpwkLCGg83S/">Kaziranga National Park</a> &amp; <a href="http://growingwithnemit.com/meghalaya-trip-itinerary-toddler/">Meghalaya</a> (Shillong, Cherrapunjee, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqjc3qVgzha/">Dawki</a>)</li>
<li>Dec- <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BrfY9D9gcFW/">Mukteshwar</a> &amp; <a href="http://growingwithnemit.com/caves-at-nainital-eco-cave-park-kausani/">Nainital</a></li>
<li>Dec- <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BsIx5woAAGo/">Manali</a> (Solang Valley)</li>
</ol>
<p>By this list, you must have gotten an idea of how much we&#8217;d enjoyed traveling with our toddler. We packed only 2 medium sized bags even for the longest vacation &amp; we survived.</p>
<p>Also, <strong>we didn&#8217;t carry any specific food items with us except some of </strong>Nemit&#8217;s<strong> favorite snacks</strong>. And, we even allowed him to eat packaged snacks, cookies &amp; chocolates (for the first time ever once he completed 2 years, and in limit). Only because, we wanted to travel light.</p>
<p>So, in my opinion, <strong>this toddler stage is the best to plan vacations, road trips &amp; adventure trips</strong>. They will enjoy every bit of it &amp; you can be totally stress-free.</p>
<p>However, always be prepared for any difficult situation which may arrive while traveling. Stay calm &amp; focussed while dealing with any such problem.</p>

<h3><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>I have only 1 tip to share here-</strong></span></h3>
<p>If you really wish to travel care-free with your baby, <strong>start a routine early on</strong>. This may include following a sleep schedule for babies &amp; maintaining good eating habits soon after they start solids. Also, the more you travel with your baby, the more they get used to the changed environment &amp; new faces.</p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Another important tip for booking hotel/resort-</span></strong></h3>
<p>We recently traveled to Krabi, <strong>Thailand with our 3-year-old &amp; stayed at an Airbnb villa with an attached kitchenette</strong>. So far, this was our best stay, we carried all <strong>ready to cook meals</strong> (rotis, parathas, biryani, dal, rajma, noodles &amp; pasta) with us. And, prepared everything on our own. So there was no need for cutting &amp; chopping veggies and no wasting time while cooking. And, <strong>we saved around 30k</strong> in our budget by not eating out at the restaurant.</p>
<p>Booking an Airbnb is also a great option when traveling with infants, as you can prepare baby food easily. You can even skip carrying a sterilizer since you can simply boil baby&#8217;s bottles, bowl &amp; spoons.</p>
<p>I hope I&#8217;ve answered all your travel-food related questions. If you still have any queries, you can write them down in the comments below. Or, can simply DM me on Instagram (where I&#8217;m most active).</p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>Stay Connected with Grandparents</strong></span></h1>
<p>Hi friends, first of all, thanks a lot for liking my last travel post. It is now the second most visited post on my blog with more than 10,000 visits in just a month. Thanks for all the love. Today I am here with yet another travel related post. And <em><strong>I am dedicating this post to the bond grandchildren shares with their grandparents all over the world</strong></em>.</p>
<p>We love to travel whenever we could, usually, we don&#8217;t plan much. We are in fact the last minute planners and finalize most of our vacations in less than a month&#8217;s time. Such unexpected travel plans are so much fun and thrilling. We just check out the lowest priced flights, book a decent hotel/resort, pack our bags and zoom we go. Thanks to various online travel companies like MakeMy Trip, GoIbibo, <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.in/">TripAdvisor</a>, Trivago to name a few to do our last minute research, compare prices and steal some awesome deals. However, the last couple of trips were quite different. These were special as Nemit&#8217;s Nani &amp; Dadi (grandmothers) were there with us on the vacation. We planned these vacations keeping in mind the comfort of our kid and his grandparents. <em><strong>I believe if there is anything you can gift to your kids and their grandparents, plan a trip together.</strong></em></p>
<p>So, today I am going to share our best travel tips while traveling with kids and elderly to make the vacation comfortable and memorable for both.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>5 Best Tips when Traveling with Kids and their Grandparents</strong></span></h2>
<p>The definition of travel holds a completely different meaning when your travel partners are children and the big children (yes the elderly). You can&#8217;t just pick a destination and make last minute plans. So, last year we visited Kerela and this year January we traveled to the Andaman Islands with Nemit and his grandparents. And these 2 trips have taught us a lot more about how to make the vacation more fun and comfortable for both kid and his grandparents. Let&#8217;s look at some tips-</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>1. Start planning your trip at least 2-3 months prior to the actual date of travel.</strong></span></h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1808" src="http://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/1-1.jpg" alt="Grandparents" width="529" height="353" srcset="https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/1-1-200x133.jpg 200w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/1-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/1-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/1-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/1-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/1-1.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px" /></p>
<p>Planning early not only gives you the freedom to book flights at a cheaper rate but you can select the best seats too. Involve the kids and grandparents while planning the destination, you will be amazed to hear their inputs. When you have lots of time on your hands before the vacation, you can invest more time in choosing the best resort for your stay. We make sure that the resort is kid-friendly and have comfortable cozy rooms. Also, make sure that you share all the details with your parents so that they too have enough time to make up their minds for the kind of holiday they are going to have. Trust me after 60, parents take their time to soak in details and get ready mentally. <em><strong>But once they are ready, nobody can stop them from having the fun.</strong></em></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>2. Select a non-touristy place/location to get the best out of your vacation.</strong></span></h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1809" src="http://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/5.jpg" alt="Select a non-touristy place for your vacation with grandparents" width="529" height="529" srcset="https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/5-66x66.jpg 66w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/5-200x200.jpg 200w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/5-400x400.jpg 400w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/5-600x600.jpg 600w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/5-768x768.jpg 768w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/5-800x800.jpg 800w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/5-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/5.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px" /></p>
<p>Now, this could get difficult to plan sometimes, but there are many famous destinations which have a part which remains untouched by tourists. We don&#8217;t like places which are always beaming with people all around. Vacation should have a motive, and if your aim is not to explore the whole place which is anyhow not possible with kids and elderly then make relaxation and rejuvenation your main priority. During our trip to Kerala, we chose places like Athirapilly, Munnar and Alleppey houseboat for our stay. <em><strong>Nemit and his grandmothers had an awesome time in the God&#8217;s own country.</strong></em></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>3. Plan for relaxing trips without much of traveling as that is exhausting for both kids &amp; elderly.</strong></span></h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1810" src="http://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/3-1.jpg" alt="Plan for relaxing trips with grandparents" width="529" height="529" srcset="https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/3-1-66x66.jpg 66w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/3-1-200x200.jpg 200w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/3-1-400x400.jpg 400w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/3-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/3-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/3-1-800x800.jpg 800w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/3-1-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/3-1.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px" /></p>
<p>We all know how tiring it gets if we have to explore various locations and places during the trip. Plan the itinerary such that you include only 2-3 nearby locations which can be easily covered and everybody gets enough time to rest and relax. Usually, during our earlier trips, we would get ready around 9 am and leave the hotel to explore nearby places and would come back only around late evening. Don&#8217;t ever plan such itineraries when you have kids and their grandparents along. This will only leave them exhausted and irritated. <em><strong>Gift them a relaxing holiday.</strong></em></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>4. If possible book a resort which has connecting rooms so that you can be together all the time.</strong></span></h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1811" src="http://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2-1.jpg" alt="Book connecting room or villas in a resort" width="529" height="529" srcset="https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2-1-66x66.jpg 66w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2-1-200x200.jpg 200w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2-1-400x400.jpg 400w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2-1-800x800.jpg 800w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2-1-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2-1.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px" /></p>
<p>You will thank me later for this tip. If you can find such resorts which have villas with 2 rooms or connecting rooms, nothing could be better than this. If somehow you are unable to get connecting rooms, do check with the resort management for adjacent rooms or cottages whichever you prefer. <em><strong>It will feel just like home.</strong></em></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">5. Lastly, plan activities which are easy and can be enjoyed together.</span></strong></h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-1812" src="http://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/4-1.jpg" alt="Plan activities which can be enjoyed by all" width="529" height="529" srcset="https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/4-1-66x66.jpg 66w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/4-1-200x200.jpg 200w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/4-1-400x400.jpg 400w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/4-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/4-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/4-1-800x800.jpg 800w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/4-1-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https://growingwithnemit.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/4-1.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px" /></p>
<p>With this I mean the activities you wish to do on your vacation, be it fun, adventure or just lazying around. You can&#8217;t tell your parents to try paragliding or river rafting neither your young kids can enjoy these. However, everyone can enjoy boat rides in place of river rafting and peaceful small walks in place of long trekking. Don&#8217;t shy away from asking your parents about their wishlist. I am sure they will share their own ideas of how they wish to enjoy the holiday. One last point, deep inside we feel happy that we will have someone who will take care of kids along with us on the holiday but doesn&#8217;t take that for granted. <em><strong>Let them make memories with their kids and grandkids and cherish them forever.</strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em><span style="color: #ff6600;">We made some best memories during our last vacations. And one of the best ways for kids to stay connected with grandparents is to travel together.</span></em></strong></p>
