I want DS to have all he needs too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-lo1s-overnight-bag#post-1222875 Sun, 17 Nov 2013 22:21:57 +0000 creativemomma15 1222875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: @Ree723: Thanks for your lists! I am packing bags tomorrow. Good thoughts on medicines/first aid. My mil wouldn't have any on hand. And I need to remember sippy cups too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-lo1s-overnight-bag#post-1220016 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 17:40:25 +0000 Ree723 1220016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to start thinking about this as well. Our LO will be 19 months when baby #2 is born and we're taking her to stay with some friends who have a three year old and live a few blocks away from the hospital. So far, we'll be packing:</p> <p>Portacot (pack-n-play)<br /> Lovey<br /> Two stuffed animals she sleeps with in her cot<br /> Her aquarium (attaches to her cot and plays music)<br /> Several nuks, even though she only sleeps with them occasionally and never uses them during the day<br /> Pram - in case they need to go somewhere with her<br /> Her car seat - we'll take that out of the car and leave it with them when we drop her off in case they need to put her in the car and go somewhere<br /> Several of her favourite books - probably 10-12 as she loves her books<br /> A grocery bag with her favourite foods (cereal, puffs, peanut butter, jam, etc)<br /> Three pairs of pjs (even though she won't be there that long hopefully!)<br /> Three outfits and a pair of shoes<br /> A stack of nappies (30 nappies in a stack) and a pack of wipes (80 wipes in a pack)<br /> Photo album - she has a little album filled with pictures of our little family and extended family that she loves looking through!)<br /> Her first aid kit with the appropriate Tylenol, Ibuprofen, etc in there<br /> Hair brush and clips (her hair is always in her face if not tied back)<br /> Toothbrush and toothpaste<br /> Bibs, spoons, and cups - she's not too particular about plates or bowls<br /> Travel size baby shampoo/cleanser although if it's only on night, I won't expect them to give her a bath<br /> Swimming suit, swim nappy, and towel (they have a backyard pool and the mum is a children's swim instructor)<br /> I'll also fill her little backpack with some of her favourite toys</p> <p>That's what I've got for right now but I still have another 11 weeks or so to think about it and amend my list as necessary!</p> <p>ETA: yes, I clearly am the crazy mum who has never left her child alone for a night and is totally going overboard on packing. I just can't bear the thought of her being upset though whilst I'm gone and knowing there is nothing I can do about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-lo1s-overnight-bag#post-1219818 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 15:44:34 +0000 lamariniere 1219818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to do this too. So far I'm thinking:</p> <p>Pjs<br /> 2 full changes if day clothes<br /> Tooth brush + toothpaste<br /> Teddy that he sleeps with<br /> AA swaddle that he still sleeps with<br /> Bjorn travel crib, depending on who is going to stay with</p> <p>I feel like I must be missing things though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-lo1s-overnight-bag#post-1219460 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 13:43:07 +0000 creativemomma15 1219460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure which board to put this post… I think I picked the wrong one :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/packing-lo1s-overnight-bag#post-1219457 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 13:41:49 +0000 creativemomma15 1219457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to start packing our hospital bag and an overnight bag for DS for when we have baby #2. Any tips for packing DS's bag? I don't want to forget something obvious. </p> <p>What all did you pack for LO1 when you were in the hospital with LO2? </p>
