Can you believe this kid? She smiled right as a rainbow showed up so we had to do the classic Simba pose with her.
We did it, for better or worse, we ventured to Maui, Hawaii with a two month old. Despite whatever some of you may be thinking, Rox was a champ...a total Rox-star.
This was my carry-ons for the plane (for breast-feeding/pumping mom's)
-breast pump with extra batteries
-3 ready to go bottles in a cooler that keeps things cool for 13 hours (amazon.com)
-4 empty bottles for pumping (8 hour flight)
-2 disposable changing table cloths
-2 disposable burp cloths
-1 blanket
-1 swaddler
-1 extra sleeper outfit
-2 raddle toy
-2 passies
-medicines
-hand santi
-wipes (i didnt have enough of these)
I carried her through security and in the airport in an ergo baby carrier I borrowed from a friend. This was great because she could sleep and it had a front pocket where I had my cell phone, boarding pass, ID and diaper for an emergency or a quick change.
The secret ingredient for the plane was that we also carried on the boppy. It was perfect because once in the plane, you are not allowed to keep a baby in the front carrier so I could lay her in the boppy so we could get a rest and she could still sleep comfortably. The week before we left I had her nap a few times in the boppy so it was familiar.
I brought 85 diapers to Maui and had 10 left, she wore all her outfits except for 3 and I did one load of laundry in 8 days there.
My sister-in-law and I both rented some baby gear from a local place. If you ever travel to Maui I 100% recommend renting from them. It was clean, great quality and it was in our hotel rooms upon arrival. I checked her car seat in a case I got from babies r us and then rented a crib, jogging stroller, swing, and baby tent for $110 for the whole week. It was completely worth it!
