One of the good things with breastfeeding is that you travel light
with your baby. There is no need to bring bottles, formula milk, bottle
cleaners, and sterilizers, among others. All you'll ever need are a change of
clothes, diapers, diaper mat, cottons, alcohol, tissues, and water for drinking
and cleaning. And, in my case, my nursing cover and fan.
But you also add on to these needs depending on your trip.
If it’s a trip to the mall, we bring her stroller along. If
it’s a trip to the in-laws, we bring her blanket and some toys or teethers.
In our first three-day leisure trip up north as a family, we
had to bring her vitamins, her bath essentials, and because we plan to take her
for her first swim, her swimwear.
Caitlin was five months old when we first took her for
a swim in a pool. She loves bath time and we figured this will translate to a
general fondness for bodies of water, swimming pools included, and we were
right.
She looked hesitant at first, but warmed up only after a few
minutes. She even mimicked our splashing movements.
But what's swimming without proper infant swimwear?
We got Caitlin a reusable diaper swimwear in red from
Charlie Banana (P700) available at Babyland in Eastwood Mall. We weren't able to test its
poop absorption and we couldn't tell whether she peed on it while in the pool.
But having her wear a swimwear diaper assured us that we're covered in case
nature called.
Pack light. Everyday baby essentials.
Posing before swimming.
