The trip is planned, your itinerary is set and you just can't wait to embark on a new adventure with your baby! Whether you are heading out on a road trip, or flying on an airplane, traveling as a family and exploring a new destination is such a thrilling experience. While it can be quite a bit of work to plan a trip with a baby, a little bit of prep work goes a long way, especially when it comes to nourishing them on the go. Here is a list of tips and tricks to keep in mind when packing your baby's formula feeding essentials.
Packing Tips
When packing for your trip, it is helpful to have a small bag designated for all of the items you will need for feeding your little one while away from home. Packing these items separately and labeling the bag makes it easy to keep all of the items you need for mealtimes in one spot. Items you will want to pack include washed and sanitized bottles, extra nipples, bottle caps & a couple of burp cloths, for starters. You may want to consider packing a small scrub brush for washing bottles easily between feedings. You will also want to be sure to bring along the organic formula powder, pre-measured in a formula dispenser for convenience if possible. Lastly, a thermos and a few bottles of filtered water can make preparing a bottle on the road or at an airport much easier! The thermos can be filled with hot water to warm the bottle in when it is time for a feeding. If you do not have space for a thermos however, running the prepared bottle under warm running water works as well. Having filtered water on hand along with pre-measured organic formula powder also helps to simplify the steps of preparing a bottle when your baby is ready to eat: simply mix it all together in a bottle, warm it up and it will be ready to go.
Things To Keep In Mind
Much like when you are at home, you will want to be sure that the formula powder as well as the filtered water are stored securely in a cool and dry place, while ensuring both items are sealed tightly to avoid spills or possible contact with contaminants. An insulated bottle bag can be very efficient in this area.
In addition to planning ahead for making bottles, you will want to consider the best places to stay, how to plan your travels around your baby's needs and how to format your days while away to ensure that your little one is happy and rested in your new destination.
