What about cruising with infants?
If you are travelling with an infant(s), cruising is among the most convenient holiday options. Some ships offer private babysitting for services for infants as young as three months. Often the sitter is a crew member working on their off-hours and with some experience babysitting. Most ships upon request provide cribs as well as high chairs and booster seats in the dining room.

Contact your pediatrician and/or local hospital and find out if they have a policy regarding talc use and infants.
