Infant Packing Advice?

21 February 2010

My 8 month old, my husband and myself are going on a 1 week beach vacation next weekend. I always pride myself on how good of a diaper bag I pack but for this long of a a trip I’m having a little bit of trouble figuring out what things are absolutely necessary. What would you recommend bringing? I know a playpen, toys, clothes, formula, food, medicine and the like, but what else should be required? She eats solids so I told my husband we should bring her highchair and he said it is unnecessary and that we can just feed her in her walker. What do you thinkl? Thanks

P.S. I am American.
