What to Pack when Traveling with a Baby

How To Pack When Traveling With A Baby

Growing up, we didn’t do much traveling. Truthfully, I didn’t really start to travel until I was 16. Something Lee and I keep telling ourselves is that we want to show our children the world, regardless of their age. So with that, you have to make sure you have everything they need when traveling. As adults, you can get by with filling up a backpack with a toothbrush and change of clothes. With children, you have to make sure you have multiple outfits (in case one gets dirty), items incase they get sick, etc. The list goes on and on.

Since we went on our first vacation with our 2 month old recently, I wanted to share our packing list with you. We kept it pretty minimal (in my opinion, but definitely not in my husband’s LOL). Always assess where you will be visiting as different items will be needed for your little one.

  • Outfit for everyday
  • Onesie for everyday – as an extra, you never know when a blowout will happen!
  • Sleepers/Pajamas for every night
  • Sunhat – Especially if a beach vacation!
  • Sunscreen – Necessary if spending a lot of time outdoors
  • Diaper Cream – Would be worse if you didn’t!
  • Diapers – OBVIOUSLY, we purchased them when we got to our destination to save room in luggage! But if not, pack enough for 10 a day, it’s okay to have extra!
  • Wipes – 1 pack per week is a good rule of thumb.
  • Baby Body Wash
  • Thermometer – Fevers can happen anytime, especially if flying.. germs will be leaking everywhere!
  • Tylenol – Again, fevers can happen any time.
  • Nail Clippers – I always keep these in the diaper bag, sometimes it seems like their nails grow overnight.
  • Swaddle – We swear by swaddling at bed time!
  • 2 Blankets – For tummy time, hanging out on, etc.
  • Dockatot/SnuggleMe– We use the SnuggleMe and just put it right in the bed with us! Then we didn’t have to carry around a pack n play.
  • Pack N’ Play – If you don’t prefer co-sleepers. These can also be used for play time when on the beach or patio.
  • Pacifiers – Our LO doesn’t use these, but if yours does… pack extra!
  • Bottles – If bottle-fed, this is a no brainer, but pack extra!
  • Haakaa – For breastfeeding mamas, still need to collect that letdown milk!
  • Breastmilk Storage Bags – For my BF mamas.
  • Toys– Since they’re still little, rattle and a ball should keep them entertained.
  • Hand Sanitizer – Because there are germs EVERYWHERE!

    Valentine’s Day Sensory Bin- Sensory Rice

    We are tickled pink for all things Valentine’s Day lately! I made my own sensory rice for a Valentine’s themed sensory bin! Sensory bins are great for inhibiting cognitive development and fine motor skills. Vivian loved it and loved throwing the rice all over even more. It’s really awesome to see her mind working as she was playing with the rice. What You Need: -2.5 cups of Rice per color…

    To celebrate my birthday & Mother’s Day, we stay To celebrate my birthday & Mother’s Day, we stayed at @hammockbeach and it was the best! The resort is GORGEOUS and perfect for families! Let me give you a run down of what we loved:

🏠We stayed in the vacation rentals offered on the Hammock Beach property! It’s about 5 minutes down the road from the actual property but so worth it. We stayed in a 3bed/2bath with a full size kitchen, dining and living room. Every one comes with views on the beach, ours happened to have some of the golf course view as well. This part does also have a family pool, restaurant, adult pool, and little splash pad. Very family friendly!

🏊🏻‍♀️Pools at the main resort are awesome! We reserved chairs at the Family pool and Sand pool. (Recommend reserving chairs online bc they get PACKED) Family pool was our favorite. It also has a water slide and lazy River. Each pool does have poolside servers for bar/food which was helpful. 

🧖‍♀️The spa was great! They have eucalyptus steam rooms which is HEAVENLY. I had a pedicure, Swedish massage, and facial which I loved. 

🍝Restaurants were all delicious! We had Atlantic Grill for breakfast and Delfinos for my birthday dinner. Again, I recommend reserving ahead of time. Delfinos was delicious and extremely accommodating with the kids! 

We absolutely cannot wait to go back! 

✈️What vacations do you have planned this summer?!

    Seven months has been the most active age yet for Seven months has been the most active age yet for Baby Lee! He army crawls like no other, loves his mama like no other as well (I can attest to this bc he wants me to hold him 24/7😅), he’s working on getting on his knees to crawl and he can sit up now! 

I keep getting sad that we only have 4.5 months until he turns one 😩🥺

    Just a few outfits I’ve worn in the last month! Just a few outfits I’ve worn in the last month! Recently, I signed up for @nuuly which is a subscription where you rent 6 pieces of clothing a month! I decided to give it a try after feeling blah when it comes to style this time post baby. I figured this would be a good way to maybe find a new style or fashion without commuting to pieces before knowing if I like them! So far I love it and plan to do it for the next few days months! 

Note: The first outfit it from good ole @target ! Legit tank, shorts, shoes , and even bra 🤪 

⭐️Which outfit is your fave?! ⭐️

Fun Fact: Vivian was actually due on Lee’s birthday but I was induced the day before! 

This is one of my absolute favorite photos of us from my maternity photos with Vivian! Also, I know it’s a day late, but since my phone is 99.9% full, it wouldn’t even load 😆🤪
