Travel checklist for baby

Written by admin on October 2, 2009 – 5:50 pm -

Now that baby’s here, traveling just got a lot more complicated.
Cut down on the chaos with our checklist of must-haves. Print a copy and check off items as you prepare to travel.

___ Diapers – Remember, you can never have enough diapers. Pack one for each hour you’ll be traveling and then throw in a few more, just in case!

___ Diaper changing pad – If your diaper bag doesn’t already come with one, you can pick up disposable or inexpensive pads at most supermarkets or baby stores.

___ Plastic bags for storage – These will come in handy when it comes to time to store dirty diapers and clothes.

___ Diaper rash cream
___ Baby wipes/Tissues
___ Travel-size bottles of baby wash, lotion, and antibacterial hand gel
___ Extra pacifiers (if baby uses one)
___ Clothes, socks, and booties/shoes
___ Washable bibs
___ Formula, water, or juice (depending on baby)

___ Snacks for you and baby – In case your trip is delayed and you both need something to munch on.

___ Extra bottles, nipples, and/or sippy cups (depending on baby’s age)

___ Breast pump (if used)

___ Bra pads (if used)

___ Nightlight – For those middle-of-the-night changes

___ First-aid kit – Always have one on hand with pain relievers safe for baby and supplies to treat minor injuries.

___ Sling or front carrier – An easy and hands-free way to tote baby around when you’re on the go.

___ Play center/crib/bouncer – A lightweight and portable play center or bouncer is perfect for both play time or nap time.

___ Inflatable baby bathtub – You’ll be glad you brought it when it comes time to wash baby

___ Car seat – Remember, car seats can also be used on planes

___ Collapsible stroller -- A lightweight stroller will be easy to store in the back of your car or in overhead compartments on a train or plane.
