What to pack when travelling with an infant

I'm a pro at packing for me, and I can even do DS, but I am at a loss for what to pack for G.
We'll be gone for a week.
HELP!

Re: What to pack when travelling with an infant
I would say whatever you take in the diaperbag for a day, times that by 7.
This plus, I would add Tylenol or Motrin and a thermometer.
M/C 1/6/10
In addition to the above, a few favorite toys too. On suggestions from other nesties, we bought a couple of new ones that he hadn't seen and broke them out "in case of emergency" on the airplane, etc.
When Nick was younger, I also packed extra bowls, spoons and baby food. I always carry a bunch of Ziploc bags (for dirty clothes, burp cloths, half eaten bananas, etc.)
I think you're cloth diapering, right? If you're not going the cloth route for the trip and depending on where you're going, I'd pack enough diapers to get through maybe a day & a half and then buy diapers when you get to your destination. We did that with baby food & wipes too. Bring enough so that you're prepared in case you're delayed, etc., but not so much that you're filling your suitcase with the stuff!
Everyone gave you great suggestions above...
We NEVER traveled without our sound machine!!
I always take, tylenol, motrin, thermometer, baby wash, diaper cream, sunscreen and lotion, and lots of spare binkys.
I bring some toys, the ones that are small but can entertain DC, and books. I packed a ton of snacks too.
Thanx everyone!
Good tip on the sound machine. This is def. a must at home, so I will make sure to pack it.
