Packing a baby bag for changes and feeds is essential.
84 84
Bring your buggy if the destination is step-free.
72 72
Bring a sling or carrier if you prefer skin-to-skin or in case of hills or stairs.
65 65
Pack some muslins for after feeding.
76 76
Pack a change of outfit for baby in case of accidents.
77 77
Pack a change of top for you just in case. Nobody wants to walk around with baby sick on their shoulder.
76 76
Pack a modesty cover, if you want, while getting the hang of breastfeeding out and about.
68 68
Pack some hand sanitiser or wet wipes for yourself.
76 76
Wear comfortable clothes with easy access if you’re breastfeeding.
68 68
Pack a water bottle for yourself. Mamma’s gotta stay hydrated.
74 74
Pack quite a few nappies and wipes or cotton wool, for nappy changes.
76 76
Dress baby in weather-appropriate clothes. Layers are a good idea, in case the weather takes a turn.
73 73
Remember the rain cover for the buggy or an umbrella if you’re carrying baby.
75 75
Try to keep baby out of the sun. New skin can’t take all that UV. Sunblock and sunhats are all good, but shade is most important. A buggy parasol might be a good idea.
72 72
Try to pre-portion any formula for feeds. Or take some ready-to-feed formula.
74 74
Pack sterile bottles and teats if you’re bottle feeding. A flask of boiling water to make powdered feeds is a good idea too.
72 72
Pack a couple of dummies if your baby already uses them.
68 68
Remember their blanket or swaddle.
75 75
Pack a bright pram toy for stimulation.
69 69
Try hanging rattles or toys from the sling or baby carrier on soother chains.
70 70
Leave extra time for getting all your baby gear ready before leaving the house.
73 73
Try to set off shortly after a feed so baby is happy to rest or look around.
