33 Essentials for Traveling with a Baby

PRACTICAL WANDERLUST

Don't let your pre-trip jitters keep you from having an enjoyable adventure!

Here are our tips on the essentials you need, as well as what items should stay at home.

Toys

Bring toys that baby has never seen before, or hasn’t played with in a while.

Bedtime

Maintain your bedtime routine as much as possible while traveling. Our bedtime routine includes putting on her PJs and sleep sack, nursing, reading a book together, drinking a bottle, and rain sounds playing as white noise.

Formula

Don’t forget a can of formula! We really like Bobbie – and if you run out you can also Instacart it from Target for delivery to your hotel room.

Naptime

Naps are SO much easier if you can manage them on the go. Stroller naps, car seat naps, carrier naps and even boob snoozes are all good ways to practice nap flexibility!

Keep Things Clean

For longer trips: plan to stay somewhere with a laundry machine and dishwasher every week or two. It’s really helpful to sneak in a load of laundry and get a good dishwasher wash for bottles
