Traveling with a baby/infant can be
overwhelming due to the amazing amount of stuff that kids need each and
every day. Here is a checklist that will make
traveling with a baby easier, efficient and enjoyable...oh and
hopefully help you keep your sanity.
- Toys- Always have a few of your kids
favorite toys. You will need this distraction while trying to go
through airport security or waiting in long lines.
- Blankets- Bring a couple of blankets
especially is your child has a security blanket. You can use them to
let the child rest, play on the floor, shade your baby or protect your
clothing from spit up or diaper leaks.
- Breast
Pump - If you use a breast
pump or if you are going to use one get one of the traveling kinds that
is easy to transport.
- Car Seat-
Car seats are always important to take unless you plan on renting one
from a rental car company. They make traveling on planes and cars
safer. You can also get travel
accessories for your car seat.
- Stroller- If you can get a small travel
stroller (especially one that will collapse) it can easily be checked
at gates or stored in overhead bins on airplanes.
- Clothes-
Always make sure to pack One to Two extra outfits in your diaper bag or
carry on luggage in case your baby spits up or has a diaper leak. Also
pack socks or booties.
- Diapers-
I always pack at least one diaper for every hour of traveling (by road
or by plane) that way i am covered if there is a traffic jam or plane
delay.
- Lansinoh Diaper Rash Ointment
 - The last thing you want is for your child to
have an uncomfortable diaper rash with no cream for relief so make sure
to pack a tube.
- Extra
Pacifiers- Always a good idea to have at least three that way if
one is lost and one is dirty you still have a "mute button"
- First Aid Kit- It is a good idea to
have a first aid kit so you can treat your child for minor injuries
they may receive while traveling.
- Formula,
water and/or juices- This is great to keep your child hydrated and
it always helps a child's ears on an airplane if they have the
distraction of eating and the sucking on the bottle will help the
popping of your kids ears.
 Portable/Inflatable Bath
Tub- -Blow it up, fill it up, and
splash away. This soft, inflatable tub is a great in-between for the
baby who's outgrown the infant tub but isn't quite ready for the adult
tub. Forgiving sides protect from accidental bumps, and the ample
dimensions offer plenty of space to play.
- Pack N Play-
You can get a pack n play. Imagine a full-size
crib that
weighs less than your baby. This incredibly portable crib/play yard
travels like a dream and sets up quickly and easily with a cushioned,
insulated, self-inflating mattress. It's a comfortable, secure place
for your kids to sleep indoors or play outdoors.
- Night light- If your
child is afraid of the dark or sleeping in a different place this will
help soothe them. It is also helpful to you when changing diapers in
the middle of the night.
- Plastic Bags- You are supposed to
take plastic bags with you when you walk your dogs well the same goes
for kids. Always have extra plastic bags on you to put dirty
diapers, dirty clothes or dirty blankets in so the mess doesn't get
mixed in with clean items in your diaper bag.
- Chest
Carrier or Sling- This will help you carry your child with ease and
leave your hands free to carry other important items.
- Lotions,
disinfecting gels, baby shampoo, etc- Help your child fight off
germs and stay clean by having small bottles of these items in a ziploc
bag.
- Tissues- To help stop the runny
noses so your shirt sleeve doesn't have to.
- Wipes-
Wipes can be your best friend to clean up dirty diapers, messy hands,
runny noses and even wipe down areas or items that your child has to
touch.
