Diapers


One for every two hours you’ll be in transit, plus extras in case of


emergencies or delays


Receiving blankets


Bring at least one for comfort, shade and warmth; some experts advise carrying three (one for your baby to lie on, one to cover her with, and one to protect your clothes from messy burps)


Plastic grocery or zip-lock bags


Carry a variety of sizes for storage, soiled diapers, clothes and shoes


Diaper rash ointment


Premoistened wipes


Sample-size containers of powder and lotion


Tissues


Extra pacifier


Clothes


One to two outfits per day. Cotton sack suits provide easy access to diapers and are great for travel


Washable bibs


Sun hat


Food, formula, water and juice


With extra bottles, nipples etc. Bring more than you think you’ll need, since you can’t predict travel delays


Breast pump


If you want time-off from breast-feeding


Nightlight


For performing nighttime diaper changes without turning on lights


Sling or child carrier for newborns


Lightweight and easy to pack. One study showed that babies who were carried in a sling or in their parents’ arms cried less than other babies


Lightweight, collapsible crib


Necessary unless you reserve one at your accommodations or your baby sleeps with you


Infant car seat for safe travel by car, plane, train or bus


It can double as an infant seat, too


Collapsible stroller


Lightweight, convenient and can be stored in the overhead bin of an airplane

packing medicines


and toiletries in


re-sealable plastic bags
