Packing tips for your baby traveler
- Start preparing to pack a few days before you travel. Keep a running list of things to take, or put items out on a table or dresser as you think of them.
- Use a diaper bag with a waterproof lining and a shoulder strap.
- Pack an extra shirt for yourself in your carry-on bag.
- Prevent leaks by packing medicines and toiletries in resealable plastic bags.
- Keep your baby's outfits together in one suitcase so you can find them easily.
- Take your camera — and don't forget the battery charger if it's digital, or plenty of film if not.
- Take a clip-on reading light so you can read without disturbing your baby.
