you? Wow, that’s so exciting is it? Well, I can read your mind saying on the
other hand “vacation? And that too with twins? That’s another mess, staying at
home will be much better”. Even after
getting the flight
tickets booking done for vacation, I always have this second thought. Here’s
this article to help you with few tips while planning for vacation with twins
or multiples.
Plan
for the right place:
Plan for the right place for
vacation. The change in climatic condition will have an effect on the babies
and they should be able to cope up with the same. The climatic conditions
should be good, extreme heat will cause a lot of problems, you can choose areas
with mild climate or cool climate.
Pack
it in advance:
Start packing your things in
advance, make it two or three days before you start for the vacation. Be sure
to take all the necessary things that is required. You got to take the
toiletries, first aid kit, medical kit, clothes. Always have an extra pair of
clothes and medicines so that you need not suffer there searching for the
shops. If you are travelling for cold places be sure to take sweaters or
jackets with you.
Know
the essentials:
You have to keep your medical kit
handy. It is always advisable to carry two sets of medicines. Have a first aid
kit with Dettol, cotton, band aid and other things in place. Make a note of the
medicines for cold, flu, stomach ache, since these are very common to occur due
to the change in climatic conditions. You have to be extra careful and give the
prescribed medicines on time.
Hygiene
is an important factor:
Choose for the right place
to stay, make sure that it is very comfortable to stay with all the basic
amenities. Check if there is proper water facilities and other emergency
facilities or shops around. The place that you stay should be easily
accessible. Spacious outer area where kids can play will be an added advantage
so that you can have a leisure time and the kids will also enjoy their
playtime.
Beware
of the food:
You have to be extra careful while
choosing the place for the food. Avoid giving outside food if you are carrying
infants or kids younger than 1 year with you. Take some homemade foods like
chapathi or fruit purees that will last for few days. Be extra careful with the
water that you give, because this will cause major problems and lead to vomit
or diarrhea. Always try to give mineral water or boiled water, so that you can
be on a safer side.
It is always good to take with you an extra
set of towels, napkins, diapers. You can also take an induction stove with you
to make simple recipes like boiling milk, make dhal, boil water and so on, this
will be very helpful and you can avoid outside food. Plan the vacation properly
by following the above tips, have a checklist with the things you are going to
carry and make sure you’ve packed everything. It is very important that you
should carry minimum luggage. Too much luggage will be a hassle, pack all your
things in a big duffel bag so that the entire families things will set into on
bag. Baby carriers and strollers will be of a much help. Plan well and have an
unforgettable vacation with your kids, you will experience double joy.
