Packing list for trip with baby India, what to take for baby on flight, travel must-haves for baby
Have you decided to take your baby on a trip for the first time? Knowing what you need to take can be a packing nightmare, but the good news is that you do not have to take the entire baby’s nursery with you. You will be able to avoid those late-night packing trips with this useful packing list.

Absolute Essentials

∎ At least three extra sets of clothes for each day – it is impossible to know what they will get dirty or wet with
∎ Diapers – you should always pack double what you think you will need
∎ Baby wipes – not only for diaper changes, but you will also need them for sticky hands and surfaces.
∎ If you are not breastfeeding your baby, then you should take your travel milk cooler and take your supplies for lactation to preserve.
∎ Something baby-related that gives your baby comfort, such as a security blanket or a stuffed animal.

Packing List For Items You Will Want After You Go

∎ A white noise app without the distraction of a cellular signal will be a great asset to nap time.
∎ Portable changing pad – not all changing areas, altered surfaces, etc., are the cleanest.
∎ A baby-wearing device keeps your baby nice and calm in busy areas.
∎ Small pack of medicine – ORS, pain relief, adhesive bandages and thermometer.
∎ Put your travel-related bags in a separate compartment of your suitcase so you do not have to sift through your suitcase in the middle of a flight.

 If you know an expectant or new parent who is planning their first trip with a baby, please tag them in the comments. We want to share this list with them!
