Good evening ma'am,
Is your child exclusively breastfed (this will change my answer 😊)?

Hello, I am breastfeeding her but she is also eating 3 meals a day (pureed and starting to eat chunks)

Thank you for these details.
When it comes to traveling with a child, here are things to consider. Bring
- a thermometer;
- Tempra™;
- Advil™;
- mineral sunscreen (ex.zinc oxide);
- a moisturizer;
- a mosquito repellent (mesh);
- Benadryl™ (considering he is starting to eat);
- Pedialyte™;
- a syringe;
- a Baby Flyer™;
- a low-level cortisone cream (for irritation and itching).
When it comes to feeding your baby, favor foods with a peel that you can remove and cooked foods.
Happy travels!
Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
