Tips from Parents Who Have Done This

1

Roll clothes instead of folding. You'll fit more and find things faster.

2

Pack two sizes for baby: newborn and 0-3 months. Babies don't read size charts.

3

Set up the bassinet before you go. A ready sleep space at home saves you at 2am.

While you're packing, make sure baby's sleep space is ready at home.

Fitted sheets sized to your exact bassinet, crib, or playard.
