Q. also we will be away from home for 2 weeks
Answer
Packing Checklist
Diapers
One for each hour you'll be in transit, plus extras in case of delays
Pad to put under your baby during diaper changes
You can buy disposable changing pads at supermarkets or reusable ones at baby stores.
Blankets
Bring a few â you'll use them to lay your baby on, cover your baby, cover yourself if you're nursing, protect your clothes from messy burps, shade your baby, and more
Plastic bags
Carry a variety of sizes for storing soiled diapers, clothes, and blankets.
Diaper rash cream
Wipes
Small bottles of disinfecting hand gel, baby wash, and baby lotion
Tissues
Extra pacifiers (if your baby uses one)
A few of your baby's favorite toys
Clothes, socks, and booties or shoes
One to two outfits per day is a good guideline.
Washable bibs
Sun hat
Lightweight plastic feeding set with utensils, and baby food
If your baby's eating solid foods
Formula, water, and juice if appropriate
Extra bottles, nipples, and sippy cups if appropriate
Energy-boosting snacks for you to munch on
Breast pump (if you use one)
Nightlight
So you can keep the room lighting soothingly low during middle-of-the-night diaper changes
First-aid kit
Baby pain reliever and supplies for treating minor injuries
Sling or front carrier
Lightweight, hands-free way to keep your baby close in crowded places like airports
Portable crib or play yard
A safe place for your baby to sleep or play
Inflatable baby bathtub
Can make bath time easier at your destination.
Car seat for safer travel by car or plane
Collapsible stroller
Can be gate-checked or stored in the overhead bin of an airplane.
Tips
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.
Be prepared for leaky diapers and baby spit-up on the airplane: Tuck an extra outfit or two for your baby â and an extra shirt for you â into your carry-on bag.
Prevent leaks by packing medicines and toiletries in resealable plastic bags.
Pack each of your baby's outfits in its own zipped plastic bag so you don't have to hunt around for tiny socks, shirts, and so on.
Take your camera, battery charger, and an extra memory card.
Take a clip-on reading light so you can read without disturbing your baby.
Take the phone number for your baby's healthcare provider in case you have questions while you're on the road.

Any tips on air traveling with an infant?
Q. My 7 month old is preparing to fly to his uncles wedding in Key west. So we'll be on a puddle jumper too. I'd love to know any tricks on getting an extra seat or any savvy advice. I've heard about benedryl and would prefer not to use it. Any other must knows
Answer
Pack a very light carry on! A few diapers, wipes, bottle (if s/he uses one), change of shirt for you (I needed one), and a few simple toys. Take a soft colorful book, a favorite small stuffed toy and a rattle (the other passengers will get over it). I flew with my daughter when she was four months. I made the mistake of taking too much with me in the carry on, it's hard to juggle a carry on and a baby. I needed a new shirt when the diaper leaked all over me, I was lucky I had bought one at the airport I left from. Use a front carrier instead of getting another seat. If you're on a long flight you can get him/her out of it and let 'em wiggle. Short flights just leave 'em in it, it will save time and hassle. Be sure to be on time, you can be boarded after the handicapped. Makes it easier to get situated in your seat before the other passengers crowd and push through. No matter how nice the stranger next to you seems, they probably wont want to talk to you because you brought the baby on a plane. If your baby has a pacifier, BRING it! It will help while taking off and landing to equalize baby's little ears. Good luck and enjoy the wedding!
