Life Outside the Inbox

I’m basically putting this list together for myself to reference for our next trip 😂

1. Clothing
2. Feeding
3. Cleaning
4. Travel
5. Just in case
6. Miscellaneous

Clothing

• Body suits/onesies (it’s 2 items in 1)
• Sweaters
• PJs
• Sleep sack
• Jacket
• Hats
• Socks
• Shoes (just to keep the toeies warm, even if they’re not walking yet)

Feeding

• Bottles (I like to pre-fill some of the bottles first)
• Initial supply of powder formula (it’s bulky to carry so it’s better to have enough and get more later) and yes, you can bring it on the plane, opened or not
• Initial supply of ready-made formula for the flight (order on Amazon and get it delivered to your hotel before you even arrive)
• Dish soap
• Bottle brush
• Disposable bottle sanitizer bags
• Pacifier

Cleaning

• Bibs
• Burp cloths
• Baby wash
• Wipes
• Initial supply of diapers (again, bulky and you can buy when you’re there)

Travel

• Passport or birth certificate for local travel
  • Parental note if both parents are not traveling together
• Baby carrier
• Stroller
• Car seat (car seat and car seat base)
• Car seat and stroller travel bags
• Muslin blanket (dual purpose, keeps warm and cover up)
• Small toy (Pierce loved spinners)

Just in case

• Tylenol and the dispenser (you just don’t want to be caught without it when you need it most)
• Thermometer
• Nose sucker and spray
• Nail clipper

Miscellaneous

• Crib sheets (some places don’t provide – it’s so weird!)
• Swim suit (hotel pool)
• Small floatie (we used ours to also prop him up to bathe)
