Before leaving the house, make sure to bring your child’s essential needs, such as snacks, diapers, medicine, comfortable clothes, milk, and others. Try a list of your child’s daily needs to make sure everything is packed. Don’t forget to bring a sterilizer to clean eating utensils, toys and milk bottles so that your child’s hygiene is maintained during your staycation.
