Travel with newborn
Hello, I am in a bit of mix. I have an important family function to attend and my daughter would exactly be 2 months old till then.
She is prominently formula fed, my wife is having issues with breastfeeding. Everything else is normal.
Is it advicable to travel with a 2 months old in personal vehicle. The travel time is around 10hrs.
Please guide. If possible please give some advice on precautions

Traveling with a 2-month-old for 10 hours by car can be challenging but doable with careful planning. Here’s what you need to consider:
- Comfort: Ensure the car seat is comfortable for a long journey, and plan for frequent stops to take the baby out of the seat.
- Feeding: Have a sufficient supply of formula and water, and be prepared for feeding stops.
- Temperature: Keep the car at a comfortable temperature, not too hot or cold.
- Hygiene: Bring supplies for diaper changes and sanitizing.
Health Tips
If your daughter is otherwise healthy, a road trip is possible, but always have a contingency plan and consult your pediatrician before you go. I may help you for any further via a tele consultation. Have a safe journey.

Yes you can travel with the baby. If the place you are travelling to is on a high altitude, then you need to take same kind of soother for the baby or breastfeed the baby ,so that the pressure changes don’t affect baby’s ears.
