U of L Travel Clinic will keep you healthy for an international trip
One of my main concerns with traveling to South America with Jack was keeping him healthy on our trip. I am an admitted germaphobe, so I seriously would have put that kid in a plastic bubble if it was socially acceptable. It was difficult to decide with our Pediatrician which vaccinations were imperative for travel and which we could forgo.
Have baby, will travel: Awesome travel gear for kids and where to find it in Louisville

When I tell people this their jaws drop. “You're flying on an airplane with Jack by yourself for over 6 hours? You're taking a baby to a third world country?!” Their faces usually crumple to a mixture of pity, fear and incredulity.
