Dr Deb's tips on travelling with kids in Southeast Asia - I’m travelling with my two children in Southeast Asia. Dr Deb are there any special health tips for that area? Before you fly make sure all your kids vaccines are up to date. Dr Deb recommends usual childhood vaccines plus Hepatitis A and sometimes Typhoid and Rabies. A great tip for flying more comfortably and alleviating dr deb travel doctorany ear pressure is to give you children something to drink as soon as the plane takes off. Swallowing makes the eustacian tubes open so the pressure equalises between outer ear and middle ear - screaming from pain does the same thing, but is less socially acceptable! The stomachs of children have less acid, and empty faster compared to adults, so children are more susceptible to diarrhoea. Research on Swiss travellers showed the highest incidence, most severe disease and longest duration of travellers diarrhoea occurred in travellers under the age of three. If children get diarrhoea, they should never be starved. Babies should continue breastfeeding or taking formula plus be given oral rehydration fluids. Read full article....

club med bali reviewClub Med Bali Review - BYOkids travel guru Nicolette recently visited Club Med Bali and just loved it. Here is her review. The first feeling you get as you turn into the driveway and arrive at the security checkpoint of Club Med Bali is safety. The large but friendly guards check your arrival vehicle and bags, all the time being courteous and smiling. After security is satisfied, they hit a switch which allows the two solid metal posts to lower through the driveway to allow your vehicle through. We were greeted by a man with polite speak, fresh cool towels and a refreshment drink as we waited to be checked in. Read full review...
