The Smart Way to Pack for Baby or Toddler

Ever since creating the baby & toddler packing list for you {ahem, years agone…}, I've wanted to fill you in on the SMARTEST fashion that I know how to pack my footling guys.

I'thou certain that this one little life-changing tip, will CHANGE the way y'all pack for your infant or toddler.

The SMART Way to Pack a Baby or Toddler:

i. Commencement past sorting the clothes that you plan to take with you. I practice this past pulling articles of article of clothing out in categories.

For instance: I start with onesies & shirts . I pull them out of the closet, and place them in a pile somewhere, where I have a big space to spread out.

Next, I pull out shorts…

…pants. {Tin can you tell I was packing for the beach on this trip, since I only packed one pair of pants? 😉 }

…Swimming Accommodate{s}/Trunks

…and for the infamous baby & toddler "outfits," that come up together… I put them in their ain little pile, individually.

… and lastly {for us} a few jackets for those cool nights.

ii. Next grab, clear plastic, gallon size, zip-top bags…

Make doesn't matter… they all work swell for packing.

3.  Starting with one pile of clothes {I started with the onesies and shirts}, gently roll upwards an item, and identify it in a bag. Practise this with each detail, placing all of the shirts in i bag … and grab a different bag for the pants . A different pocketbook for the shorts . Unlike handbag for the swim trunks... etc.

In this photograph, you'll run into that my trivial guys shirts were small enough, that I could put some horizontal in the purse, and still have room on the side to stuff some shirts in, vertically…

For the outfits that come up together, I put those in their own bag. {I practise this, so if anyone else is helping clothes the baby/toddler on holiday, they'll already know what shirt/shorts become together.}

four. When one handbag is full {it doesn't have to be completely filled up}, seal the handbag near 3/iv of the way. Push all of the air out of the bag, and finally seal the handbag completely… trying to brand sure no air filters back in to the handbag.

{I actually place my knees on the handbag, REALLY pushing the air out, and then I pinch the bag closed.}

Then… I accept created a "vacuumed sealed," type of bundle.

Why do I exercise this? For a few reasons:

1.  The "Vacuum Seal," outcome, saves room in the suitcase
2. Rolling up the shirts, creates less wrinkles than folding the clothes, leaving space to motility and crunch during transport.
3. Placing the vesture in plastic bags, prevents getting ruined if the baby shampoo or sunblock leaks during transport.
4. I can use the plastic bags to store the muddy clothes while away on holiday.
5. I'chiliad able to employ the plastic numberless over and once again, for each vacation. I just place the numberless back in to the empty suitcase when we get dorsum dwelling house!

In this photo below… you'll see that I was actually able to put my 4 year olds clothing in the same suitcase, because I saved So much room packing this manner!

I'll never forget the look on my girlfriends face when I taught her the smart way to pack for babe or todder. Her and her family unit travel merely well-nigh as much as we do, and I honestly feel it changed her packing life… every bit it did mine!

I tin can't WAIT to hear how this method of packing worked for you! Permit me know beneath! I love hearing from you!
