Get Ready for Vacation…Packing Your Baby Travel Bag.
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008 at 6:00 am
They may be little, but boy do they need a lot of stuff. Extra diapers. Toys. Change of clothes. The list goes on and on. So here’s a checklist to help you pack your baby’s travel bag.
| Diapers One for each hour you’ll be in transit, plus extras in case of delays |
|
| Pad to put under your baby during diaper changes You can buy disposable changing pads at supermarkets or reusable ones at baby stores |
|
| Blankets Bring a few — you’ll use them to lay your baby on, cover her, cover yourself if you’re nursing, protect your clothes from messy burps, shade your baby, and more |
|
| Plastic bags Carry a variety of sizes for storing soiled diapers, clothes, and blankets |
|
| Diaper rash cream | |
| Wipes | |
| Small bottles of disinfecting hand gel, baby wash, and baby lotion | |
| Tissues | |
| Extra pacifiers (if your baby uses one) | |
| A few of your baby’s favorite toys | |
| Clothes, socks, and booties or shoes One to two outfits per day is a good guideline |
|
| Washable bibs | |
| Sun hat | |
| Lightweight plastic feeding set with utensils, and baby food If your baby’s eating solid foods |
|
| Formula, water, and juice if appropriate | |
| Extra bottles, nipples, and sippy cups if appropriate | |
| Energy-boosting snacks for you to munch on |
|
| Breast pump (if you use one) |
|
| Nightlight So you can keep the room lighting soothingly low during middle-of-the-night diaper changes |
|
| First-aid kit Baby pain reliever and supplies for treating minor injuries |
|
| Sling or front carrier Lightweight, hands-free way to keep your baby close in crowded places like airports |
|
| Portable crib or play yard A safe place for your baby to sleep or play |
|
| Inflatable baby bathtub Can make bath time easier at your destination |
|
| Car Seat for safer travel by car or plane |
|
| Collapsible stroller Can be gate-checked or stored in the overhead bin of an airplane |
- Packing Tips
- Start preparing to pack a few days before you travel. Keep a running list of things to take, or put items out on a table or dresser as you think of them.
- Use a diaper bag with a waterproof lining and a shoulder strap. We recommend our Natalie Travel Tote Bag.
- Pack an extra shirt for yourself in your carry-on bag.
- Prevent leaks by packing medicines and toiletries in resealable plastic bags.
- Keep your baby’s outfits together in one suitcase so you can find them easily.
- Take your camera — and don’t forget the battery charger if it’s digital, or plenty of film if not.
- Take a clip-on reading light so you can read without disturbing your baby.
