Having a new baby in the house is a huge adjustment on it’s own, but when you have to prepare to take your baby out for the day or travel with him for an extended period, it can be overwhelming to say the least.  Often, the biggest reason that new parents feel stressed about that scenario is that they are not used to planning ahead. Doing so can save time, stress and money for the whole family.

Now that you have a baby, things are going to change when you are on the go and want to stop and eat out a restaurant on a whim. When you have a baby or small child, you are going to need to have food on hand that is appropriate for them to eat.

If you have a young baby, then obviously milk or formula will be fine, but if you have an older baby that is on solid foods, you might have to carry a few extra things with you.

You’re going to want to carry a durable, insulated bag, to keep store your cold milk and formula. Try to use baby bottles that have disposable liners if possible, so that clean up is easy and painless on the go.

If you breastfeed and are going to be away from home for more than a day or two, then it’d be a good idea to bring the breast pump and extract breast milk in the night when baby is sleeping. This way you have bottled breast milk to last the day.

Traveling on a plane is something that needs extra preparation as well. As with some adults, the changes in altitude can be irritating for babies, so it is best to schedule feedings beforehand to be sure they get their daily nutrients with problems. You don’t want to be 30,000 feet in the air and stressed out because your baby didn’t eat yet that day. Also, it’s more likely that they will sleep through the plane ride if they have already eaten. There’s one less thing to upset them.

As with everything to do with being a new parent, traveling with your baby will get easier. If you remember to take the time and plan out the trip well, then you should be fine.

Once you have a new baby, you will need to spend more money. That’s not a myth. baby food is definitely one of the big monthly costs, but there are ways that you can cut down on the cost of baby food without sacrificing your baby’s health.

The best way, in the beginning, to cut down on cost is to breastfeed your baby. Not only is this basically free food for your baby, but it’s the healthiest for them in their early development stages. The baby not only gets valuable nutrients and a boost to their immune system from their mother’s milk, but also also allows for a closer bond for mom and baby early on.

What if you need to be away from baby for a few hours a day because of work, appointments, or other scheduling? Well, Mom just needs a breast pump so she can store a reserve. Mom can pump bottles of breast milk and freeze enough to provide her baby with enough breast milk to last the hours that she’s away. The cost of the breast pump far outweighs the cost of having to buy formula on an ongoing basis.

What if you can’t breastfeed or simply choose not to? That’s ok, you can still save money. There are tons of coupons available by big brands who want you to use them over their competitors. If you make it a habit to look for promotions, you can often snag yourself a lot of free stuff in the process. This is even easier if you have Internet access and are able to take the time to sign up to the countless free promotions that are available.

Don’t forget to make your own baby food if you have the time. When your baby is a bit older and eating solid foods, you can puree fresh fruits and vegetables in a blender for baby food.  Not only will this save you money, but it’s much healthier for your baby than the packaged stuff.
