How hard is it.........

Question

How hard is it to travel to a foreign country with a child?

My husband and I are planning to go to Africa (to see his family) in 2010. Last month i found out we are expecting out first child. :D:D

Is it hard to travel out side the USA with a child... and come back in the USA with a child?

What paper work would i need?

Has anyone ever experienced this?

Answer 1

it's not hard and you won't have too worry tooo much about being stuck at home becuse the family will volunteer to watch him/her

u just need a pastport for him/her

Answer 2

You should have very little problems traveling with a child if you take the necessary steps beforehand.

Make sure that you have a passport for the baby.

I would take the birth and vaccination records for the baby.

Make sure that you have the necessary shots for both you and your baby before leaving the USA

It will be a long flight - talk to your doctor about what his/her recommendations are for the baby during the flight (like giving a bottle during takeoff and landing to stabilize the pressure on the ear drums, etc.

that's all that I can think of for now
