A Cuban mother residing in the U.S. responded on TikTok about how she managed water and food during her trip to Cuba with her baby.
A Cuban mother living in the United States shared on TikTok tips for those planning to travel to Cuba with young children, after responding to a user's inquiry who asked her: "How did you manage with water and food? I'm also planning to travel with my baby."
"Your doubt may be the same as that of many others who don't know what to do if they are going to travel to Cuba. So from my experience, I’m going to give you two tips that can help if you’re traveling with babies or children; this advice might even be useful for you if you have been away from Cuba for more than two years," explained @dani_momemma in her video.
“The first piece of advice is bring everything you need for your baby and your children, whether it’s diapers or a specific snack you give them. However, if you prepare the food at home, you won’t have any problems because in Cuba you can get absolutely everything with money — everything, there are fruits, vegetables, chicken, everything.” he assured.
As a second point, he warned about the importance of choosing the right water: “Buy imported water, do not buy any water that is from Ciego Montero or made in Cuba because there is a risk of it being repackaged.”
Last June, after her stay on the island, the creator reflected on what it meant for her to return to her country: “I returned to Cuba, and my days were completely different from those I experience in the United States day by day... I went back to my land, to the noise that characterizes my country, to the warmth, to the embrace that only someone who has been far away can understand... Some were waiting for me, while others, sadly, were no longer there... The reality is that Cuba is no longer the same as it was when I left years ago, but none of this stopped me from enjoying my loved ones and feeling at home again.”
Her most recent video with travel tips for the island, which are also applicable for those who have been abroad for over two years, has garnered dozens of reactions, many of them from mothers who expressed their gratitude for the information: “Very good information, friend, it's good to know,” wrote one user, while another commented, “That’s the question all mothers have when traveling. Thank you for the video.”
There were also critical opinions: "You don't travel to dictatorships," wrote an internet user, while another said, "Don't go, because what you'll find on the island of terror is hunger, misery, and fear," to which the creator replied, "No one asked for your advice, please and thank you."
A few weeks ago, another Cuban mother who traveled to the island with her baby recounted that the little one fell ill after consuming bottled water that turned out to be repackaged. She mentioned that she had to visit several stores to find safe water and warned: “Bring your water from here if you're going to Cuba, especially for your baby.”
