Alright ladies, we're flying for the first time this week, and I want to make sure I am not overlooking anything, and that I have everything I need! We're leaving for the airport at 6:30am Thursday morning, and are moving in to our apartment (and will have access to our normal stash again) on Saturday.
I'm bringing the regular diaper bag (which hangs on the stroller), and a small roller suitcase - both to be brought on the plane. MIL is flying with us, so we'll be able to manage everything together..
Here is my current list:
*In the diaper bag: 5 prefolds and 1 cover (plus she'll be wearing a snappi'd prefold and a cover when we leave for the airport), 6 cloth wipes, 1 medium wet bag, travel diaper changing pad
*In the roller suitcase: 8 prefolds and 2 covers, 2 night diapers, 1 wool cover, 14 cloth wipes, empty spray bottle, grovia magic stick, extra wet bag
On a regular day here, we average 7 prefolds/2 covers + a night time diaper. I'm planning to do diaper laundry on Friday night at MIL's house so we'll have extras in case the diaper box can't be immediately located on the moving truck. Oh, and I should mention she has a box of regular tide powder and a large planet wise wet bag for us to use once there.
Anything I'm forgetting, or does this look good? Am I taking too much?? We've never travelled like this before... Thanks!
Re: Airport Checklist
Looks pretty good to me. The one thing you can always count on is that just when you think you've planned for it all, LO will go and surprise you, so having extra is a great idea.
Good luck with the travelling and the move itself. Hope it all goes smoothly for you!
This! Always a good idea to have extras
I brought 5 covers for a 2 day vacation, which I thought would be more than enough. I ended up having to wash covers by hand because DS thought it would be a good time to have lots and lots of explodo poops!
AHHHH this is my fear! I hate that we have to be without the sprayer for 2 days. DD seems to be pooping once a day again now that she's ingesting more solids. They're about 50/50 plopable - but I'm not sure what I'm going to do if they're not :-/
I really don't want to wash covers by hand... Maybe I'll throw them all in before we leave for the airport haha!
