Baby's Weekend Away

Going on a trip with an infant for the first time can seem like a major challenge, especially when it comes to packing. While packing for our first weekend away, I felt the stress level rise as our departure day approached.  I felt like there were a million and one things that needed doing.

Why was I so anxious?  I think it was just because we had never done it before.  One thing that really helped me was making lists.  Instead of listing every little thing the baby may need, I stuck to the big items that he would ACTUALLY NEED. Here's an example:

To Do:
- Pack clothes
- Pack Pump and pump accessories (bottles, nipples, lids)
- Pack jarred baby food
- Pack bowl, spoon
- Pack toys (not ALL the toys, just a few that can be hand washed)
- Pack N Play (provides a portable play/sleep space)
- DIAPERS (diaper bag)
- Bumbo (provides a portable seat for the baby when it's meal time)
- Stroller

It's pretty basic and a no-brainer, but sometimes it helps just to have a basic plan in order to ease a stressful process.

What are some baby items that you cannot imagine traveling without?
