Travelling
with babies can be a surprisingly delightful experience, as long as our
fulfillment of their basic needs is kept pretty much on schedule… their
schedule. Babies aren't as fragile as parents sometimes fear. It’s most
likely that your baby enjoys the trip.

Dehydration

Dehydration
due to a combination of heat and gastrointestinal problems is common
among travelers. Make sure that there is adequate fluid intake,
including some “sports drinks". Babies and young children will dehydrate
very quickly and should seek medical attention for gastro-intestinal
problems sooner than adults (within 24 hrs).Accidents

Accidental
death is still the largest cause of demise in travelers worldwide. Wear
your seatbelt, helmet, and protective clothing because you need to, not
because the law (or lack of it) says you have to. Surfing accidents too,
have taken a remarkable toll on the Island each year.
