Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is one of the most common suggestions requested by parents. You can travel by any mode depending on where you want to travel if there are no specific contraindications for both mother and your baby such as in air travel high altitude sickness, etc.

The only thing is to keep your baby covered with cotton clothes, caps, gloves, socks, etc., and comfortable all the time. Do not allow unnecessary exposure to pollution, dust, etc You can carry your baby in a baby kit, one which covers almost the whole baby up to neck within and provided with a zipping facility. Carry adequate amounts of expressed breast milk for regular feeding without interruption.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you need any help.

Thank you.
