Bathing the baby in a tub
Our doctor advised us to bath the baby every day but not to use a shower gel every day. Since we are traveling we bought this cheap laundry basket. We already had a floating bath pillow which we brought from home. Still we needed a bathtub.
How to weigh a baby at home 🎥
Our biggest concern is if the babies eat enough, i.e. not put on enough weight. That’s why today we will weigh the babies at home and then we will ask the doctor if they gained enough… If not we might have to switch to a different formula for bulking… (like Plasmon 0 liquid)
How to make passport photos of a newborn
We had to make passport photos of our baby. This is not easy because they cannot hold their head still. Also to meet the requirements of our country.
How to wash a baby in a sink 🎥
I share footage from the clinic: You see how to hold a newborn with one hand, wash it’s bum when changing the diaper and how to clean the navel. It should be cleaned until 1 month.
Cutting (small) baby nails
Cutting baby’s nails might not be in your priority list but believe me it’s needed. Our baby was already scratching his face. We don’t want a baby with scars. Look how we did it.
How (not?) to sterilize baby bottles
Big mistake not bringing the sterilizer from our country. So we had to rely on the boil in pot method. I will show you how we do it and also how the maternity clinic is doing it and all other methods. (Note that you only have to sterilize once a day, but you can do…
How to change baby’s diapers while travelling
We bought Canbebe diapers. There are available everywhere in Tbilisi where we stayed and much cheaper than Pampers. BTW the doctors in Georgia used the word pampers for diapers 😉
How to prepare baby formula 🎥
Since our babies are from a surrogate mother we – of course – cannot breastfeed them. The clinic uses Hipp Organic Pre Formula (Organic Infant Milk). I want to show you how they prepare it at the clinic (and how we did it it at home and some other methods).
How to work from home when travelling
In our first (and also our second) appartment we have the problem that there is no working desk so I had to improvise.
How to stay fit while traveling
One challenge for us when travelling is not to gain weight and to stay fit, esp. when travelling with babies.
