Travelling abroad alone with a new baby can feel equal parts exciting and terrifying. Before my first solo trip with my little one, I imagined chaos at every stage, the airport, security, the plane, the luggage, the crying. What I learned very quickly is that travelling with a baby is not only possible, it can actually be far easier than we build it up to be. If I could go back and tell myself a few things before that first trip, these would be at the top of the list.
