My son wasn't eating tons of solids while we were there and he was EBF for everything else. As far as I can tell after having lived in France and visited extensively, you should be completely fine with public breastfeeding. I definitely was ok with it. I mean, this is the country where large news kiosks regularly depict topless photos of women and no one bats an eyelash. </p> <p>If you think of anything else, I would be happy to let you know what I know. Have a great trip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pack-for-lo-on-3-week-vacation#post-696143 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 11:20:51 +0000 emahlee 696143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@t-mom: Thanks for the tip- lost luggage didn't even cross my mind!! I just redid my carry-on list to include some extra clothes and necessities for LO. </p> <p>@lamariniere: ooh! Since you were actually there with a LO, do you mind if I ask you a few questions? I'm still breastfeeding exclusively with the intention of dropping some feeds while in France (to prepare me/baby for my return to work in a few weeks). I've read that the French think breastfeeding is "faux pas" in France. Would if make people uncomfortable if I did nurse in public? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pack-for-lo-on-3-week-vacation#post-695839 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 08:14:37 +0000 lamariniere 695839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We traveled to France for 3 weeks when our son was 7 months old. I packed about 10 days worth of clothes with both warm and cool weather options. Since we mostly stayed with my in-laws laundry was not a problem. We also received clothes as gifts for our little man upon arrival, so we had plenty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pack-for-lo-on-3-week-vacation#post-695477 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 21:14:04 +0000 T-Mom 695477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@emahlee: maybe also plan to have some spare clothes and extra diapers and necessities in your carryon... Since losing luggage is so much worse on an international flight (happened to me on Italy, it was so horrible)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pack-for-lo-on-3-week-vacation#post-695455 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 21:02:27 +0000 emahlee 695455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LOOCH: My LO is the messiest eater ever, so extra extra outfits are in order.</p> <p>@Weagle: 2 outfits/day for 2 days sounds reasonable. </p> <p>Thanks all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pack-for-lo-on-3-week-vacation#post-693671 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 09:03:06 +0000 Weagle 693671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a total overpacked for LO. I would pack 2 outfits per day for 3 days. 2 sets of pjs. Since you're packing light for yourselves, you'll be doing laundry every few days anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pack-for-lo-on-3-week-vacation#post-693373 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 06:28:58 +0000 looch 693373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am an overpacker, but I prefer to be prepared rather than wandering the streets looking for stores while on vacation. I would bring enough for one outfit per day, plus 2 extra outfits, in case your LO is a messy eater. Then I'd probably be packing a lot of entertainment stuff, because my son wasn't so interested in sightseeing at that age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pack-for-lo-on-3-week-vacation#post-693086 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 20:56:44 +0000 emahlee 693086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@RUBIES: We do have laundry facilities so I'm thinking of packing about a week's worth of clothes? LO has his own suitcase. Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pack-for-lo-on-3-week-vacation#post-693068 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 20:49:38 +0000 Rubies 693068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have easy access to laundry facilities? Are you trying to fit all of LO's stuff into one backpack, as well?</p> <p>Off the top of my head I'd say:<br /> 4 long pants<br /> 4 tops<br /> 2 lightweight pants<br /> 1 sweater<br /> 1 heavier jacket/coat<br /> 1 lighter jacket</p> <p>Rotate and launder every few days? I have no idea, I've never traveled that long with LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-pack-for-lo-on-3-week-vacation#post-692769 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:45:36 +0000 emahlee 692769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going on a 3-week family vacation to France next week and I'm starting to put together our packing lists. My husband and I are generally light packers and we try to fit everything into a backpack along with a couple of daypacks when we travelled in the past... But I don't know how much clothing to bring for my 10 month old! Any suggestions?</p> <p>The temperature will vary between 10 to 25 degrees Celcius. </p>
