What must you carry in your on-board bag when traveling with a baby?

Parenting (216) Travel (244)

Traveling overseas from Australia means a long flight to anywhere. Parents traveling with babies must be prepared to handle a difficult situation with limited resources. What must they travel with to soothe their baby if he or she is unwell and begins to cry? Or gets a temperature? Has pain in the ears due to cabin pressure?

I always pack enough to last at least a day if not 2. The reason is: the plane has lost my luggage so many times, and I am grateful that I have all the necessary stuff so I don't have to stress. Most important aspect for baby is the formula if you are not breast feeding. Changing the formula can result in stomach pans or problems. Not a good thing to have when travelling.

Wet wipes, nappies and body lotions are absolutely essential. Find out in advance what is, and is not allowed on international flights.

Agree with Chipp. I always pack enough for a day or 2 in case I get stranded or my luggage gets lost. formula, nappies, pain relief, teething toy, muslin, comforter (e.g. blankie, dummy, favourite toy), few changes of clothes, couple of kids books. Plus, always take a change of top for yourself as it's not nice to travel in vomit/milk stained tops.
