hello travelers!

we are about to leave for Bombay, India with our 14 month old baby girl and i was wondering as i'm preparing baby's suitcase what do you guys pack for a long trip with a baby in such a place? I want to make sure i don't forget anything.....

So far here are the essentails (in no particular order):

sun screan
doctor prescribed medicine (anti-biotics, anti-malaria etc...)
disposable diapers (for the road) and washable dipers
antiseptic gel to wash hands
small toys
little snacks

thanks moms and dads for all input!

hi cindy

i think you correctly summed up the things you need to pack to travel with children. i could only add: patience and good travel tips

some trips or portions of a trip can be long for specially small children so be sure to plan well something to do while waiting in airports or train stations for example, also, in many places like customs or airport check-in counters if you're traveling with children, you may pass in front of the line. In my travels with 3 small children, it has been extremely helpful, we saved a lot of time and effort going through quickly.

hope this helps, BON VOYAGE

How about water container? In India, at times you may find difficulty in getting water that meets your expectation.
