Always pack extra diapers to handle unexpected situations.   Baby wipes are a must for quick clean-ups, from diaper changes to sticky hands and messy faces.  

1. Diapers and Wipes

If breastfeeding: Nursing cover (optional).   If bottle-feeding: Formula, bottles, and water.   For older babies: Snacks and a bib.  

3. Feeding Supplies

Babies often have spills and accidents, so pack an extra onesie, pants, and socks.   A burp cloth helps keep your clothes clean.  

4. Extra Clothes and Burp Cloths

Pacifier (if your baby uses one).   Hand sanitizer for hygiene.   First-aid basics (band-aids, baby-safe pain reliever, teething gel).  

5. Emergency and Comfort Items
