What to pack when travelling with a baby

Over the holidays we took a trip to Washington DC with Leo. This was our first trip with him on a plane. I was happy to be travelling but I was so terrified about the whole process. There are no direct flights from here to Washington DC so we had to have a lay over in New York.

Travelling is hard in general, but with a baby it is ten times harder. The only good thing was that Leo was actually a good flyer. I know I can not expect the same next time but I take one day at a time and this time it was good.

When I was packing for him I tried to remember everything that I would need and I think I did pretty good.

Here is my check-list, keep in my mind though that we were travelling in winter so for summer you would need to adjust it accordingly :
