Packing for Baby

In my experience packing for a baby or toddler, I have more often than not found myself wishing I had packed less, and rarely have found myself wishing I had brought something.  I have many times stuffed unused toys, dishes, and a folded up travel crib (Pack’N’Play) back into a suitcase into a closet.  I have also found myself lugging a heavy diaper bag through airports, security lines, and into taxis wishing it were much lighter, digging around through unused stuff to find essentials.

I have streamlined my packing to have efficient and smart checked and carry-on bags with travel stuff I know baby will need.  Find below packing guides for different ages of babies, packing baby’s and mom’s carry-on, and other packing tips.
