HELP! Packing list when traveling with infant!

[lovemyguys]

Hi Everyone! I need some help with my packing list. If you look at my siggy you will notice we have been to disney 2 times in the past 3 years. I had a very long list of what to pack on our first trip and used that same list for our second trip. Well we swore that the last trip in 2007 was the last trip for at least 5 years. Well needless to say we leave in 2 weeks! But since I really believed we would not go back for a while I threw away the packing list. It would not be soooo bad but now we have a (almost) 4 month old to pack for. Does anyone have a packing list for an infant??? Everytime I think I remembered everything something else comes to mind. I just know I am going to forget something. HELP PLEASE!!!

We were in Disney last June with a 9 month old plus our 2 other children. I mailed a box down to our resort ahead of time with tons of supplies in it for the baby. I mailed formula, extra bottles, diapers, wipes, baby food, bottled water and snacks for all of the kids. This was great, it was in our room when we arrived and it saved us from taking another suitcase with all of the baby essentials in it.

Carryon diaper bag: 2 outfits for baby / sun hat / one unisex shirt for mom or dad / 3 bibs / 2 cloth diapers in a gallon ziploc / 1 inch of wipes in a ziploc / diaper cream / 12 diapers / changing pad / bottles of simethicone, infant ibuprofen, and nasal saline / 3 pacifiers if you use them / infant nail clippers / stain remover wipes / 3 empty gallon ziploc bags / a lightweight receiving blanket / 2 small chewie toys / sling or other cloth carrier / 24 hours worth of formula + 2 bottles + a brush and small bottle of dish soap if you use bottles. (Also, Mom's wallet, meds and hairbrush if you are packing light and skipping a purse - recommended.)

Checked bag: supply of diapers for trip length, compressed in a ziploc / one outfit per day + 2-3 extras + onesies for sleeping if needed / swimsuit / baby laundry detergent / baby sunblock / baby shampoo / warmer blanket that smells like home / formula for the rest of the trip if you use it.

Eek, almost forgot: waterproof pad for your bed if you nurse while sleeping.

And don't forget to pack infant tylenol / motrin, teething gel. Last trip when dd was 3 it cost almost $10 at the parks to buy a small bottle of tylenol when she spiked a fever.

Don't forget the nose syringe. We seem to use this daily.

If your baby is on formula, bring bottled water with you. Cheaper than buying it in the parks, and I know my ds won't drink anything cold, so if you bring it you can keep it at room temperature.

Just double (or triple) up for the day anything you'd normally pack in your diaper bag, if you're not planning to return to your resort during the day. Bring extras into the park with you, a trip back to the car for reinforcements is never quick or easy.

My ds uses Dr. Brown's bottles, which can be a bit harder to clean. Closer to our trip I'm going to get some inexpensive bottles for him to use so that I can basically use them and toss them. Without a steamer or dishwasher I don't feel that the bottles get clean enough using only the bathroom sink and some liquid soap.

Have a great time!!
