I think some ped's will say sunscreen is better than sun exposure in certain situations (like a 4 month old traveling to Mexico) but in Oregon I am sure you won't have a problem just keeping him covered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-list-for-baby#post-2122581 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 12:55:52 +0000 Greentea 2122581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sunhat, nose frida, baby bath! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-list-for-baby#post-2122576 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 12:54:01 +0000 youboots 2122576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: yeah I thought no sunscreen for the first 6 months? It's the Oregon coast. We will keep walks short if it's sunny. There are only 2 months a year where we do much beach lounging. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-list-for-baby#post-2122568 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 12:51:15 +0000 youboots 2122568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bubbles: thank you!! @looch: good call, I knew it was smart to post in here :) @snowjewelz: thank you. It is only 90 minutes from home but there is a hospital. My Mom had to go to the emergency room for stitches last time she was at the beach house and they took good care of her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-list-for-baby#post-2122566 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 12:48:53 +0000 Foodnerd81 2122566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: no sunscreen at 2 months- so I would bring a sun hat and clothes to help cover him up. If you are going to the beach set up an umbrella and lay him on a towel under the umbrella. </p> <p>Seems like a pretty good list. I always like to bring extra A&amp;A blankets- they come in handy as a nursing cover, blanket, burp cloths, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-list-for-baby#post-2122565 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 12:48:26 +0000 Adira 2122565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: haha, just saw that your LO was under 2 months. Definitely don't need toys then! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-list-for-baby#post-2122563 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 12:47:01 +0000 snowjewelz 2122563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would also research ahead of time for doctors/hospitals in the area.. JUST in case! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-list-for-baby#post-2122550 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 12:41:08 +0000 looch 2122550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you travelling by car? I always keep a trash bag and a towel right by the car seat, just in case of car sickness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-list-for-baby#post-2122548 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 12:40:34 +0000 Bubbles 2122548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nursing pads if you use them... a towel for baby? Have a great trip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-list-for-baby#post-2122524 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 12:19:08 +0000 youboots 2122524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: yes on bottles, but she keeps her milk on her face for the most part. @gingerbebe: awesome. These are so helpful. Most of these things are in the diaper bag. Can you reccomend a baby sunscreen? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-list-for-baby#post-2122514 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 12:11:31 +0000 gingerbebe 2122514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sunscreen if its going to be sunny.<br /> Ziploc bags for dirty clothes or diapers while you are out and about.<br /> Paci clip so it doesn't get lost or dropped.<br /> A small squeaky toy to distract her with if she gets cranky in the car.<br /> DH set up a soothing Pandora station to play in the car when DS got riled up to help him fall asleep.<br /> A thicker/darker blanket or a towel to throw over the carseat to help the baby fall asleep.<br /> Hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes.<br /> Bring jammies that are both warmer and cooler than ones you wear at home - temps can fluctuate a lot in different rooms.<br /> Be mindful of bathing circumstances. We ended up bathing DS in the sink on our first hotel trip but it wouldn't have worked on the second trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-list-for-baby#post-2122507 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 12:04:24 +0000 Mamaof2 2122507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: no bottles yet?

Teething? We have not used any yet.</p> <p>I think I am going to just buy extras of the frequently used health stuff so I can have a pre packed travel bag for her, just like I have, it's nice to be able to grab and go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-list-for-baby#post-2122481 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 11:54:38 +0000 Mamaof2 2122481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nail clippers<br /> bibs<br /> burp cloths </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-list-for-baby#post-2122475 Thu, 26 Mar 2015 11:52:07 +0000 youboots 2122475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: we have a fan there and she is not into toys yet.
