Babies have a tendency to get themselves dirty very soon, as they end up dropping food on themselves. Which is why, it is wise to keep at least two or three set of clothes in your baby bag. If the wedding venue is very far from your place, then keep a few more.

Babies generally, need to eat in every two to three hours. And once their hunger pangs strike, they might start crying or behave fussily in public.

#5. Easy to eat foods

With infants, food will not be an issue, as they are only bottle-fed or breastfed. But, for toddlers, watery foods can be a hassle while you are out. Instead, carry finger foods, like berries, crackers, dry fruits, oats, etc., which the baby can eat without making too much of a mess.

#6. Carry baby pram 

Babies love to be carried around. They hate sitting at one place for a long time. But carrying a baby for prolonged hours can be tiring for the mother. So, to keep the baby engaged and happy, you can carry their pram with you. And in the meanwhile, you can get some rest for your arms too. Also, since babies have a tendency to fall asleep in every few hours, carrying a pram is certainly a great idea to let the baby sleep in peace.

#7. Carry a blanket

Since most weddings take place during winters and babies tend to catch cold quickly, so carrying a blanket will be a nice option to keep them warm.

#8. No to high heels

As much as women love to wear heels when they dress up for a wedding, high heels are a big ‘no’ when you travel with your child. You will obviously have to carry your baby around. Wearing heels can increase your chances of tripping, and can also cause feet and back pain while carrying the baby. Jootis or trendy platforms or kitten heels, can be the best alternatives to high heels.

#9. Comfortable clothes

Yes, weddings are all about wearing a lot of bling and heavily embellished outfits. But, with a baby, going the simple and sober way is the best thing to do. Embellishments such as stonework or beads can poke the baby when you carry him/her in your arms. Also, wearing lighter and comfortable clothes makes it easy for you to manage the child at all times.

#10. Minimum accessories

Babies like to grab shiny and sparkling stuff. Dangling earrings, shiny necklaces, stone studded rings, etc., are very inviting for them. So, to avoid getting hurt yourself, wear simple and minimal jewellery.
