Maintain ambient temperature in the car between 27-28 degree centigrade, keep the baby covered. Ensure timely feeding and you can travel with your baby.

Is it okay to travel.
Make sure to maintain appropriate temperature in car. Wrap the baby just as needed. Use nasoclear saline nasal drops for any nasal block
