Peak Northwest

6 lessons I’ve learned about traveling with a baby


Listen Later

It might not be a shocking revelation that traveling with a baby is a challenge. More shocking is that it’s perfectly doable.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, Jamie shares six travel lessons he’s learned from his first six months as a parent – they might not be what you think.

Traveling with babies, especially those younger than six months, can be a much different challenge than traveling with kids or even toddlers. Some of the best advice about family travel doesn’t necessarily apply to those who aren’t walking, eating or even sitting up on their own.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

  • The danger of focusing so much on baby that you forget about yourself.
  • Why is accepting help so hard?
  • Why Pack ‘N Plays are a game changer.
  • Your travel dreams don’t necessarily need to fly out the window the moment you have a child.
