DH and I (and DD of course!) are off to SA in two weeks for DD's dedication. We're going by car (mazda 3). I am starting to think about what I *need* to take with us because, let's face it, once the pram (Mountain Buggy) goes in there isn't a whole lot of room left!!! So, can you help me out? The given's are her pram and steriliser and clothes. But how much of what should I take? She isn't a spewy baby (now that I've said that...).
We're staying in a "resort" and they are supplying a cot but I have to supply linen.
We'll be gone for 7 days.
We are staying on the coast
We have decided to pack just enough formula and nappies (plus a few more in case she wants an extra feed or goes through more nappies) to get us there and through the first night then go buy what we need the next day. From there.... I'm lost!
We went away (by car) when Nina was 4 months old. All we really took was a few sets of clothes, both summer clothes & winter clothes, and a couple of her favourite toys. At such a young age they ammused by anything. It's a good idea to only take nappies for the first day or so, then buy the rest, as that alone takes up a lot of room!!
If you feel you didn't take enough while there, you can always go on a shopping spree
You can always buy anything you've forgotten
The only things that I would think essential are any items that are part of her sleep routine (the book you always read, her blanky, her ted, her sleepy CD - that kind of stuff). I forgot Yasin's musical teddy on a trip OS once - never again!! I bought another one but he knew it wasn't his ted.
If the pram is taking up alot of space and your budget allows it maybe you could get a lighter pram for travelling. I've got a little one (7.7 kg) that I hardly ever use except when we're going away.
What to pack?
