- Packing Tips
- Start preparing to pack a few days before you travel. Keep a running list of things to bring, 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 — just in case.
- Prevent leaks by packing medicines and toiletries in re-sealable plastic bags.
- Keep your child's outfits together in one suitcase so you can find them easily.
- Take your camera — and don't forget the battery charger.
- Bring a clip-on reading light so you can read at night without disturbing your child.
