Traveling for the Holidays with a Baby
-November 15, 2011-Comments (0)
Our Growth Spurts articles in the November 2011 issue discuss what your baby might eat for Thanksgiving based on his or her age ... but what should you pack if you're traveling with a little one? The answer: you will probably pack WAY more than you need, but it's better to be safe than sorry!
Some items you will want to consider packing:
- Portable crib. You may need to lay your baby down for a nap at Grandma’s house, or have a place for her to sleep at night.
- Portable high chair. Baby will want to join the family at the table too.
- Formula, baby food, bottles, snacks, and baby's utensils and bowls. Pack lots of extra, just in case Auntie’s kitchen is not set up to accommodate a baby.
- Diapers, wipes, clothes. You can never pack too much!
What do you always forget to pack? I somehow manage to always pack way too much clothes for the kids and way too few items for myself. And I always, always forget baby shampoo!
