What to Bring with Baby

Babies travel with a lot of stuff. Somehow, I managed to fit both Atticus and my belongings in a roller carry-on, but Robby also packed some of Atticus's things in his bag. I didn't want to be a neurotic, over-prepared parent, but I didn't want to have to buy too many baby items in Singapore either.

Here is a laundry list of baby things we brought:

- 106 diapers (He uses 10-12/day, so this was plenty for our 7-day trip. I brought 16 diapers on our 16-hour flight [though it was 23 hours including waiting at the airports], but he only used about 5.)
- a package of diaper wipes
- 2 glass bottles to drink from
- 3 plastic bottles to store milk (I haven't used them yet)
- two hand pumps (one is still unused)
- bottle brush & small sponge for washing bottles
- receiving blankets
- diaper cloths
- a few muslin wraps (good for multiple uses, like blocking out sunlight, swaddling, covering, etc.)
- burp cloths
- one swaddle
- 8 onesies (very useful in this hot climate)
- 4 sleepers (We heard that the indoors can get very cold)
- 2 long-sleeved onesies
- 3 pairs of pants
- 15 bibs (Very useful because he drools a lot, sometimes so much that his onesie underneath is soaked)
- 4 pacifiers
- a lovie (A small, soft blanket with a hippo's head attached to one corner. This is used for bedtime snuggling.)
- diaper cream
- baby powder
- baby soap
- baby blanket
- nail clippers
- baby Benadryl
- baby Tylenol
- thermometer
- baby sunblock (Oops, we forgot this at home!)
- nursing apron
- stroller
- infant car seat (just so we have a place to put him)
- diaper bag

Don't babies come with a lot of stuff?
