Becoming a mom for the first time is one of life’s most profound transitions. Suddenly, your world revolves around this tiny human who depends on you completely. The sleepless nights, the mom brain and the overwhelming responsibility can make you feel like you've been thrown into the deep end without swimming lessons.
They say it takes a village to raise a child, and there’s profound truth in that ancient wisdom. Having support, whether from family, friends, or other new parents, can make all the difference during those challenging early months. But even with support, many new mothers find themselves struggling to hold onto pieces of their pre-baby identity. In fact, a 2023 study found that nearly 62% of new moms felt like they had lost part of their identity since entering parenthood.
For me, a new mom with a six month old baby, travel isn’t just something I did but a part of me. The good news? Having a baby doesn't mean your passport needs to collect dust. In fact, traveling with your newborn can be an enriching experience for both of you, provided you approach it with the right mindset and preparation. If you are the jet-setting type, this may mean prioritizing products that will make you feel beautiful while on the go, fashionable yet comfortable, and help your baby transition to a new environment. This Mother's Day, whether you're celebrating your first one as a mom or shopping for a new mother in your life, here’s all the must-have items you need so you can see the world with your little one.
Baby Essentials That Make Mom’s Life Easier
Every traveling mom needs a bag that serves double duty: a stylish diaper bag that's also perfect for poolside essentials. Baggalini travel bags offer the ideal combination of spaciousness and lightweight versatility for any journey. Available in various colors and styles, from large carryall totes to convertible backpacks, these bags feature adjustable straps, easily accessible pockets, and thoughtful organization that lets you travel comfortably wherever life takes you and your little one.
While it might seem like you need an entire suitcase just for your baby’s gear, there is one essential that will transform your travel experience. The Guava Lotus Everywhere Travel Crib provides peace of mind for parents concerned about hotel cribs or safe sleep arrangements away from home. Its compact, airport-friendly backpack design makes every trip easier, whether you’re flying or driving. Supporting newborns up to three years with no weight limit, it’s an investment that grows with your child. Plus if you are traveling with a spouse or a caregiver, this is a great way to split the load of who carries what on your trip.
