In Cooper's 4th month of life, we took our first trip! During this month I learned what it takes to travel with a baby! It was a weekend trip to visit family and go to an Auburn football game. It was only a 4 hour drive, so we thought this was a good test trip - not too far away.
If you know me, you probably know that I am a list-maker. So my lists began... and the overwhelming feeling began. There were so many things on the list! And I was worried I had forgotten to write something down. The best piece of advice I got when trying to prepare for this trip was: Write down everything you use throughout the day and that is what you pack.
I finished packing and felt pretty good about it. One thing great about traveling when he was this young... no bottles, no snacks, no food; just a boppy and a cover.
It was a four hour trip so we planned to stop half way through and we all had a snack.
The whole thing really went smoothly. I had told myself to plan for the worst... and realize it will probably go better than expected. And it did! He slept most of the time. While we were there everything went pretty well. He napped when he got the chance and didn't fuss much. The only minor mess up was that I left my cover at the house we were staying at... but I luckily had a blanket to cover up with.
What was your first baby trip like?
