Traveling with a Baby or Toddler: Honest Tips, What to Actually Pack & Hot Takes on Kids at Weddings

Nobody tells you that 3 months is one of the easiest ages to fly — or that 11 months might be the hardest. Or that you should absolutely gate check your stroller every single time. Or that you do not need to fill a suitcase with diapers. Just buy them there.In this episode, Taylor and Natasha share everything they've actually learned from traveling with babies and toddlers — from a six-hour solo flight to Hawaii to a 13-hour haul to Turkey with a 1-year-old to being stuck on a tarmac for two hours, hungover, with a screaming infant and a confused 3-year-old asking why the plane won't take off.They break down what age is actually easiest to fly (spoiler: early is better than you think), how the crawling stage is genuinely the worst for travel, what to put in your carry-on that nobody ever tells you, and why keeping breastfeeding has an underrated travel superpower — specifically, that nursing on takeoff and landing is the closest thing to a cheat code you'll find. Also: the time Natasha watched three days of pumped breast milk get dumped in a trash can at Mexico City TSA because of a rule she had no idea existed, and cried in the airport.Hot takes included: kids at weddings (Taylor will stand by this one forever), which countries are genuinely kid-friendly vs. which just pretend to be, whether cities are actually worth it with a toddler, and the mental load relief of a vacation where you are not responsible for cooking, cleaning, or keeping the household running.And to wrap it up: a reminder that your baby's cry is the loudest sound in the room only to you. Everyone else has headphones. Put yours on too and stop apologizing for your child existing on public transportation.Topics covered: flying with a baby, flying with a toddler, traveling with kids tips, what to pack for baby travel, gate check stroller, TSA with baby, breastfeeding on a plane, breast milk at airport security, kids at weddings, best age to travel with baby, car seats and strollers for travel, kid-friendly travel destinations, traveling solo with a baby, baby travel packing listXX, Natasha & Taylor
