Traveling with a Sick Kid
My girl started some coughing since this morning. The first thing that came into my mind was is she going to be worse tomorrow as we are going to KL and Genting. My mothering instinct got me the right signal, she really got worse already before bedtime. But we will be going anyway, everything has been planned.
Traveling with a sick baby needs more preparation than normal. I got to bring her to her paediatrician and asked him to prescribe some medication first, just as backup. Then she needs extra clothing as the weather in Genting may be colder and unpredictable. She may not be able to eat will, just nursing and some quick snack maybe appropriate.
Luckily we are not going anywhere further with flight, so we are not wasting our tickets if she is really unfit for traveling. However I still prefer to tag along my kids, even if they are sick, unless I cancel the trip and not going at all. I can’t just leave them with someone else, even if they can be trusted. I know that when my kids are sick, they will be more clingy than ever and want mommy or daddy even more.
Anyway, if we cancel the trip, we can also go again once the kids have recovered as it’s really easy to get cheap flights from Holiday Hypermarket which offers holiday bargains, last minute deals, cheap flights and all inclusive holidays. Furthermore, we just have to book online, so it’s very convenient. Next time, if you are flying from UK to Mexico, don’t forget to get cheap flights to Mexico from Holiday Hypermarket. Not only that the tickets are cheaper, you may even get last minute flights too!
