If you embarked upon the greatest summer journey of all this year and became a new mom, congratulations! It’s an exciting time, full of heart-warming firsts and fulfilling moments you’ll remember and embarrass your child with for years to come. But when it comes time for the other journey you expect to take in the summer — vacation or travel to see family — new motherhood can come with a lot of complications you may not have expected.
There are so many things that are different about your life now, not to mention all the things that you’re going to have to plan for when it comes time to travel. While it may be stressful, it’s worth it to see your little one have their first experience in an exciting new place or to see them meet a far-away family member for the first time.
Whether you’re going by train, plane, or automobile, let’s talk about some essentials that can make your travel experience as a new mom more comfortable and less stressful so you can enjoy not just the destination, but the journey, too!
Swelling ankles are a familiar nemesis for many new moms, and they’re one that seems to come back with a vengeance when you’re boarding a plane. But travel doesn't have to exacerbate this discomfort. The Incrediwear ankle sleeve is designed to provide much-needed support on your journey. It gives you the freedom to explore without the added worry of swollen, painful ankles.
These sleeves apply constant, gentle pressure to your ankles, promoting circulation and reducing swelling. The flexible material ensures a snug fit, and it's sleek enough to wear under any attire, so you don’t have to worry about sore legs and swelling after a day of sightseeing with your little one strapped to you.
Traveling doesn’t mean sidelining your comfort. Whether it's a long flight or a road trip, you can rely on sleeves from Incrediwear to make your travel more comfortable. Remember, a happy mom makes for a happy baby — especially when your ankle sleeves allow you to carry them with you everywhere you go.
If you’re looking for a next-level solution to the cramped seating, long wait times, and all of the other hassle that comes along with flying … It's time to think about what Magellan Jets has to offer: private jet charter flights.
As a new mom, you’re juggling a million things at once. Why add the hassle of commercial airlines to your list? With private jet charter flights, you can wave goodbye to the chaos of crowded airports and enjoy a relaxed, serene journey.
These flights offer unmatched comfort, allowing you the flexibility to set your own schedule and avoid the typical stress of air travel. Taking a private flight also ensures a quiet environment, which is crucial for you and your baby to relax during the journey.
Furthermore, the spacious interiors provide ample space for all your baby’s necessities — from diaper bags to strollers. If you’re dreading the reality of toting everything you need for your baby and then somehow cramming it into overhead storage, knowing you’re going to need to get everything back out again once you’re in the air, this is the simplest way to restore comfort and a touch of luxury to your travel.
Stepping away from work and into the wonderful world of motherhood doesn’t mean being completely out of touch with your professional life. That’s no less true when you’re getting ready to travel this summer. To help things run more smoothly while you’re away from the office so you don’t have to check your email or answer any calls, you’re going to want to help set up Eden’s visitor management platform for your office to take the reins.
This innovative solution lets your team oversee office happenings with ease and automates crucial steps for visitors when they arrive at your office.
Imagine this: you're at a quaint café in Paris, savoring a croissant while your baby naps peacefully in the stroller. Your phone buzzes, and there's an update from the office. You check it and find that your scheduled client has just checked in for their meeting. You tap a quick message to your team, put your phone away, and go back to enjoying your Parisian afternoon.
It’s all about streamlining communication and ensuring seamless operations, even when you're not physically present in the office. And this isn't just about work — it's about empowering you to enjoy your travels and motherhood without feeling the constant pull of office responsibilities. You can be there for your baby and your team, no matter where you are.
Motherhood is a demanding job, and you deserve to feel comfortable and look stylish while doing it. But it can be difficult to find clothes that look good, feel good, and give you the range of movement you need to look after your little one unhindered.
