Packing List! « Back to Group Discussions

[onetwoten]

Help from some like-minded mamas? The mainstream checklists are a little... laughable. 

We're heading on a short road trip with Tenley next week (she'll be just 4 months). We're going to be in the car for 6-7 hours driving time each way. Once there, we're in a hotel, and it's a reunion, so we'll be in and out of the school, people's homes, restaurants, etc all weekend. We usually use cloth, but are using sposies for the trip. Also we exclusively breastfeed, but in an attempt to help T in the car, I'll be pumping enough to give her a few bottles while we're travelling (when she's eating she forgets she's angry about being in the car...), so I'm bringing supplies for that. Tenley also has reflux, so pukes on... well, everything.  I think that should give you a good picture of what we're dealing with!  Oh, and the weather here will probably flit around 50F while we're there.

bathing supplies...

shampoo

lotion

I'm going on a trip soon too, so I would like to see others ideas too!

We don't really need anything for bathing other than her body wash, though I did put lotion aside... probably I'll use it and she won't though! She just showers with us, so we don't need a tub or support or anything. 

I posted it somewhere else too, and they said it looked good, didn't really have anything to add. I've decreased the number of washcloths, and upped the number of sleepers and outfits (she pukes though, so most people won't need that many)
