Your baby will stay healthy and won't have to readjust to the various waters if you'll buy distilled water for her. Most supermarkets carry it for about 50 cents per gallon, anywhere in the USA. This one precaution will give you a much better chance of having a good time. The baby won't get diarrhea or an upset stomach thus won't cry all the time. Another thing you should know is to blow warm air into the babies' ears or nurse the baby whenever you fly or drive over mountains. The built up internal pressure on the babies' ears can also be relieved when he cries. Blowing warm air into their ears will relax the pressure and allow the baby to acclimatize to the altitude.
