Baby Packing List?

[sabbie]

Does anyone have a packing list for an infant? I know there are several threads out there but with the search function down or at least I can't get it to work yet I could use a little help with finding out what to pack. We leave in a couple of weeks and I already have quite a bit ready to go but am looking for any and all suggestions for packing. Thanks!!!!

We always take a super-small bottle of dishsoap so that we can wash the sippy cups and bottles in the sink with super-hot water.

 

Also--we never did this, but I've heard people say that you should bring a crib sheet from home, so that your baby feels "at home" in the cruiseline's Pack-n-Play.

 

Have fun!

I justr found an awesome little scrubber things at Target in their dollar bin. You can put dish soap in it (in the handle but it has a short fat handle not the long kind you may be thinking of). It's round in shape with bristles (not a sponge) and it doesn't leak. You push down on the little knob and it pushes out the soap. Perfect for washing cups, bowles, dishes etc while onboard. I picked up several.

Try this site too. It's an interactive packing list. You just click on the things you'll need and you can print the list. :D

If you are concerned about the germs on the pack n plays, they make slip covers that you can buy and bring with you to cover the "difficult to sanitize" pack n play.

[I&MsMom]

Bring infant formulations of any medicine you could conceivably need - fever reducer, etc. Also, a thermometer (will likely raise ??? at security - it took me awhile to catch on to the fact that it was probably the mercury in the thermometer that was showing up like a thin blade:eek:).

 

If you use special overnight diapers, bring lots of those (I used them on my kids for plane rides or long car rides, also). I've never seen those outside the US, while regular Pampers, etc. are easy to find in most ports.

 

Have a wonderful cruise!:)

We cruised with a 7-month old and I did a lot of research as to what to take that would make things easier. I found a lady that has cruised with babies of all ages and she emailed me her pack list. I can't post it here but if you email me: deeanna@marykay.com - i will send it to you. It had a LOT of things I hadn't thought of and definitely was glad for her list. :-)

hmmm....the therometer wasnt a problem last time. I guess we will see this time...I had it in my carry on bag with all the other medicine

Well, I have to admit this was several years ago, and we were flying Alitalia from Messina in Sicily to Rome. As it almost caused us to miss our flight, it remains very vivid in my mind! :p

Wow, this sounds great! Where do you find them? I've never seen them in Babies R Us.

[sabbie]

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!! Deemk, your list was fantastic, most things I already have packed but it's always the little things that make life easier that I really appreciate.

[AmMom]

I think you can only get them online: http://www.coverplayard.com

 

I ordered mine and it should be here this week. I will let you know how it is...

Just back from the Spirit 6 day cruise -

 

I took 40 diapers for my 2 year old - which ended up to be about 10 too many - I took 4 small packs of wipes which was just enough - I probably should have had 1 more pack of wipes though, because we used them for clean up at eating time, too.:)

What a great idea! It seems like a light weight solution to my germaphobia problem. Please post on this board and let me know how this works for you. I may get one too! Thanks for the link!

They are really great I already have mine.

I thought that they provide cribs not pack n plays for babies?

[CruizinMom2c]

They do supply cribs (at least I know on Carnival) but if you would rather use your own then you can bring the pack n play

 

 

We used the crib on the carnival last time and he was fine sleeping in it... so we will do the same this time.

[kenteecruisin]

Ok - thanx. I will just pack my own baby sheets.

[davenbeth7603]

Holland America say they provide cribs, but if you read the fine print they actually provide portable play yards. It all depends on the cruise line.

Just back from the NCL Spirit - we were given a pack 'n play for our 2 year old son. It was in pretty good condition - just noticed one small hole in the mesh.

 

Happy Cruising !

[olivertate]

i know we have been on many cruiselines and a lot of them give pack n plays

Thats the problem they shouldnt have any holes in them its super dangerous. Thats why the cover really helps.

[DaisyGirl55]

Are the cribs on Carnival sort of like a smaller version of a regular sized crib? I would like to bring our own sheets for the 2 cribs. Also, since the little ones will most likely be taking naps during the day, I am guessing that the cribs stay up throughout the week?

[CruizinMom2c]

yes i think its smaller than a regular crib

 

 

i found this link with a picture
