We took our older son to Italy when he was 6 months old. But I have forgotten everything we packed. So here is some information on packing. Started with a packing list from BabyCenter and some advice from Silent I on baby.
Here’s our list so far for baby on the plane:
- Proof of age! He is a lap baby for this trip and we have almost gotten in trouble by not remembering to bring his ID!
- Diapers, lots of them, in case we get delayed
- Wipes, lots of them
- Disposable changing pads (nice tip from Glennia)
- Ziploc bags for blowout situations and dirty clothes
- Change of clothes for mommy, change of clothes for daddy
- Diaper rash cream
- Medkit: Tylenol, Benedryl, nose suction thing, saline drops)
- Tissues
- Change of clothes
- Washable bibs (we have comfortable cotton bibs but need to get some that have vinyl on the front)
- Sun hat
- Formula. (This time we can leave the breast pump behind)
- Bottles, dishwashing detergent in sample size, bottle brush, and maybe our Avent microwave steamer (if our hotel room has a microwave)
For the luggage:
- More diapers
- More wipes
- Baby clothes organized using both Ziploc bags and REI stuff sacks.
- More medkit items
- Nightlight(s)…one for the room, and one for the bathroom.
- Sunscreen
- BabyBjorn (for me) and for my wife, Ergo Baby Carrier
- Carseat (probably the really lightweight Graco infant carrier even though he is over 20 lbs!)…trying to avoid lugging the Britax Roundabout around when we really won’t be spending much time in a car.
OK, I’m sure there is more than this, but its a start!
