Leaving baby with family for the first time...what to pack?

JamaJenks

Hi all.

So I'll be going back to my hometown Saturday night, spending the night with family and then leaving LO with my grandparents on Sunday while my husband and I go deep sea fishing with my dad and uncle. 

What all should I pack for her while we're away. So far I'm thinking my (small) stock of frozen breast milk  (as well as a can of formula, in case it isn't enough.) a hearty helping of diapers, wipes, and extra outfits (she is known to 'splode a diaper or two every now and then.) blankets and soothies...

I just feel like I'm missing something. Is there anything else you'd suggest bringing?

I would say a swing or bouncer if your LO likes them a lot (especially to nap in).

They'd probably appreciate something to put LO in for naps. Otherwise they may get stuck holding the baby the whole day and that's really hard on anybody!
