Traveling With A Baby
Traveling with a baby can
sometimes mean
that you are so consumed with ensuring that
you have everything you need to care for the
baby on the trip that you forget things you
need for yourself. The best thing to do is to
prepare a checklist of what you need and then
check off each item as you pack it.
A sample checklist should include the following
items:
Diapers/ pampers
Blankets
Sleepers
Baby wipes
Baby lotion and soap
Extra pacifiers
Bottle
Formula, food, water and/or juice
Re-sealable plastic bags
Extra clothes – at least one or two outfits per
day
Nightlight
Car seat
Portable crib
Collapsible stroller
Sun hat and sun screen Toys
Plastic for use in changing the baby
Any necessary medicines
Extra shirt for yourself
Burping pad
Washable bibs
Feeding spoons
The packing for a trip involving a baby should
start weeks in advance to ensure that no detail
is overlooked. As you pack each item or article,
check to make sure you have added extra in case
of accidents.
Simply go through a sample day at home and make
a list of everything the baby needs when not
traveling. Add extra to the list. Bring a camera
and plenty of film or if you use a digital
ensure that the memory card can store lots of
pictures.
