    Overnight stay with 9 month old

    Next weekend DD2 and I will be making the trip to visit my brother at Beechworth. We'll be leaving early in the morning on Saturday and getting home in the evening on Sunday, and we'll be going by train and coach. From what I've heard, Beechworth is freezing this time of year. My list so far for DD2:

    -Pram
    -Ergo
    -Nappies & wipes
    -Smock bib
    -Sleeping bag
    -3 pairs warm socks
    -Warm blanket
    -3 short sleeve singlet suits
    -2 pairs leggings (for under her pants...not sure if that's overkill?)
    -2 pairs warm tracksuit pants
    -3 long sleeved tops
    -2 jumpers/hoodies
    -1 warm jacket
    -Beanies
    -1 warm pair pyjamas
    -A few toys and books
    -Snacks for the trip

    Am I missing anything? Anything you'd recommend taking? We'll likely be inside most of the time. Cheers

    Beechworth can be cold, but sometimes you can be lucky and get a gorgeous day, but the nights are usually pretty crisp! I have spent a lot of time up there over the years, I have relatives living there, and it has never really been an issue, I think you have it all covered! Make sure you visit the bakery, it was always a favourite of mine!!

    its not too cold at the moment! (or maybe im used to it) but that sounds good. the mornings are around 10-11Âșc so not too bad, not enough to see warm air your breath out. if its nice weather next weekend bring bug repellant the flys are already starting up and so are the annoingly stupid little black bug/fly things >.<

    I think you should just make do with one pair of clean pants, one clean top and a couple of nappies.

    That way, you'll have room to bring baked goods back to Melbourne for the rest of us. Like those big Bee Sting pastry custard things.... mmmm....

    Hahaha, well when you put it that way! Nah, reflux baby = lots of changes just in case unfortunately. Which reminds me, her Losec!! That would be a disaster.
