A Trip to the Beach

Patemm Pad in Manhattan Momma

July is prime time for a trip to the beach! Before you had a baby, you could just slip into your bikini, toss some sunscreen and a juicy novel in a bag and head out. It's different with little ones, though! There's so much to think about, even for a day trip. So let's break it down, shall we?

Your Baby Packing List:

A Changing Pad - the Patemm Pad is waterproof and easy to clean sand off!
Diapers & Wipes
Baby-safe Sunscreen - Check out the Environmental Working Group's Sunscreen Report!
A big umbrella

Guava Family Go Crib

A travel crib for baby to rest and to keep him safe - perhaps Guava Family's Go Crib!
A sun hat - we love Wiggle and Scoot's hats with a crisp monogram!
A swim diaper
A swim suit and rash guard
Sandals
Two outfits for baby
Beach towels for all
A camera

Wiggle & Scoot's beachy hat

Snacks and drink
Ziploc bags for carting wet stuff home

Don't forget, mama - you can still rock the bikini! Perhaps some shovels and buckets instead of a novel, though?
