Traveling this Spring? Don’t Forget These Baby Travel Essentials

Warm weather is finally here, and the trip that you’ve been saving up for and planning for months is right around the corner—are you ready? While you probably have your swimsuit packed and your road trip playlist curated to perfection, new parents traveling with their baby for the first time often worry that they’ll forget essential items.

For peace of mind, here’s a handy list of baby travel products that will make the trip more enjoyable for both you and your baby. 

 Swaddles

Premium swaddles made of cotton muslin are durable yet silky soft and will keep your baby comfortable during a long car trip. These versatile baby blankets, whether you refer to them as swaddles, receiving blankets, or something else, are incredibly useful for a variety of purposes. Whether you’re using it as a swaddle, an impromptu cover for your changing pad, or to block out the sunlight in the backseat, you can never have too many swaddle blankets.

 Laid-back PJs

Sleeping in a new environment like a hotel room or a relative’s house can sometimes be overwhelming for a baby, but with the right laid-back pajamas, they can get comfortable and sleep anywhere. For baby’s first spring trip, why not pick up a special pair of pajamas that will remind you of the trip every time you put them on your little one? Look into pajamas made with breathable, comfortable cotton muslin that feature cuffs that are just snug enough to stay in place all night while your baby peacefully rests up for the next big adventure. 

 Plenty of Burp Cloths

Along with your trusty receiving blanket, you should also have a few burp cloths on hand for the trip so you can avoid rushing to the laundry room to wash the only burp cloth you brought. These small yet mighty cloths can be a real lifesaver and can help keep everyone clean and happy on the trip. Make sure to pack a few premium cotton muslin burp cloths for the road, and you'll be prepared for any accidents that might happen along the way.

 More Diapers Than You Think You Need

Finally, whether you go the disposable or reusable route, bring more diapers than you think you might need. And make an effort to purchase diapers from a company that produces not only quality products but gives back too. For example, companies like aden + anais work with Trees for the Future to plant a tree for every pack of their diapers sold. How’s that for looking good and feeling even better?

Here is what you need to know about swaddling, including when you should stop swaddling. Baby Blankets What Is Swaddling? Swaddling uses baby blankets to wrap your baby up, holding their arms down and legs fairly close together while allowing the hips free movement.

The goal is to keep the swaddle tight enough to keep the arms in place, but not so tight that your baby is uncomfortable. What is the Moro Reflex?

Swaddling prevents their arms and legs from moving, which in turn do
