Packing a baby bag for changes and feeds is essential.
150 150
Bring your buggy if the destination is step-free.
134 134
Bring a sling or carrier if you prefer skin-to-skin or in case of hills or stairs.
126 126
Pack some muslins for after feeding.
140 140
Pack a change of outfit for baby in case of accidents.
141 141
Pack a change of top for you just in case. Nobody wants to walk around with baby sick on their shoulder.
139 139
Pack a modesty cover, if you want, while getting the hang of breastfeeding out and about.
126 126
Pack some hand sanitiser or wet wipes for yourself.
139 139
Wear comfortable clothes with easy access if you’re breastfeeding.
128 128
Pack a water bottle for yourself. Mamma’s gotta stay hydrated.
137 137
Pack quite a few nappies and wipes or cotton wool, for nappy changes.
140 140
Dress baby in weather-appropriate clothes. Layers are a good idea, in case the weather takes a turn.
136 136
Remember the rain cover for the buggy or an umbrella if you’re carrying baby.
138 138
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.
131 131
Try to pre-portion any formula for feeds. Or take some ready-to-feed formula.
134 134
Pack sterile bottles and teats if you’re bottle feeding. A flask of boiling water to make powdered feeds is a good idea too.
133 133
Pack a couple of dummies if your baby already uses them.
129 129
Remember their blanket or swaddle.
137 137
Pack a bright pram toy for stimulation.
130 130
Try hanging rattles or toys from the sling or baby carrier on soother chains.
131 131
Leave extra time for getting all your baby gear ready before leaving the house.
135 135
Try to set off shortly after a feed so baby is happy to rest or look around.
