| Description: |
Breast milk protects your baby from illness and infection, so it is the safest drink for your baby while travelling. You won't have to worry about access to artificial baby milk, clean water or heating facilities. You may experience a drop in milk supply due to dehydration after flying or illness (such as travellers' diarrhoea).

Travelling with children is challenging, but a bit of forethought can help reduce parental stress. In many cases, keeping your holiday simple will reduce the number of problems. If travelling by plane, ask for bulkhead seats or seats near an exit to give your child a safe spot to play on the floor. Be vigilant about the dangers of unfamiliar places, such as unfenced swimming pools or balconies.

| Description: |
Motion sickness (travel sickness, sea sickness or car sickness) symptoms include dizziness, nausea and vomiting. Frequent vomiting can lead to dehydration and low blood pressure, so seek medical attention if you are severely affected. Watching the scenery going by, instead of fixing on one point, can help motion sickness. Fresh air can also help. Ginger and some medications may help prevent motion sickness.
