Traveling with Baby + Diabetes
An Infant, a Parent with Diabetes, and Two Medical Bags
For new parents traveling with an infant when one parent has diabetes, and the two adults splitting the care of two people.
Inside Traveling with Baby + Diabetes
- The full guide, read online as a book, always current as new issues land
- Six short videos to share before or during the trip, added after launch. Everyone who bought earlier gets each one, and the price goes to $50 once all six are in.
- An overview deck that walks the whole trip in one sitting, for the planning talk at the kitchen table.
- One-page team cards for how your travelers talk and work together: a before-we-leave huddle card, a who-does-what card, a card for when something goes wrong, and one card per issue.
- Printable checklists: packing, an emergency protocol, and a partner discussion guide.
- A 6x9 paperback for the bag, with the team cards, checklists and emergency protocol each on its own page. It comes after the online guide.
Traveling with a baby means two medical bags, two baggage allowances and one set of hands, plus a hotel fridge that has to hold insulin and milk. Short sleep can show up in your numbers, and meals happen on the baby's schedule. The guide plans the trip around both of you, from the decision to go anywhere at all to the week after you get home.
Two people in the family need care at 3 AM, and the adults split who watches whom. The team cards cover what happens when you are low and the baby is crying, and who answers which alarm.
