Eid will come in a few days. Those of you who are planning to go home, choose to go home by private vehicle, ship, or plane, huh?
If you bring your child on this homecoming trip, of course there will be adjustments. Anything? Beatynesia has compiled it from various sources so that children can be comfortable and happy during the trip!
1. Sit the Child in the Middle Seat
Quoting from Mommy Asia, if you use travel, planes, intercity buses, boats, or even private cars, choose a seat in the middle seat for your little one so that the shock of the vehicle does not feel too hard for him.
If you take a private car, don't forget to put it in the carseat.
2. Bring Breastfeeding Apron

If your little one prefers to breastfeed directly, bring a nursing apron so that you are comfortable while breastfeeding during the trip, especially if you use public transportation.
3. Prepare MPASI or Carbohydrate Baby Food
You need to bring carbohydrate foods to meet your child's intake in anticipation of changing meal times due to long trips.
4. Bring Your Little One's Favorite Toys
To overcome the boredom of children when traveling long distances, bring some of their favorite toys to distract children from traffic jams and road conditions.
5. Provide a Pouch for Vomiting
As an anticipation of motion sickness in children, prepare a bag to accommodate the vomit so as not to contaminate the seats and the inside of the vehicle.
6. Sing or Play a Children's Song
For those of you who are going home using a private car, you can sing or play children's songs with cheerful tones to relieve boredom during the long journey.
However, if you play children's songs on your cellphone, don't take too long. In addition to maintaining the health of your child's eyes, you also need to save cell phone batteries.
7. Bring Pillows and Blankets
Pillows will be very useful to support your little one when they are sleepy or tired from sitting in the same position for hours.
8. Bring first aid kit
You should bring P3K (First Aid in Accident) tools, such as: tissue, eucalyptus oil, wind oil, patch, plaster, cold medicine sachet, cold and cough medicine.
9. Make time to urinate or defecate in the rest area
For the sake of comfort and health together, take the time to stop by the rest area to urinate or defecate. But not for long.
