A few weeks ago, I was daunted with the task of flying to visit family in Vegas with Tachi (now 5 months old) for his very first airplane experience, without the help of my husband. He had to work so I was mortified at the prospect of having to get both Tachi and I through the airport, let alone get myself through the airport (which hasn't always been my best skill).
I must have packed everything I could possibly need into his diaper bag thinking that it would be useful. By now, I'm at the airport trying to juggle a stroller, diaper bag, baby, etc. Trust me on this one. Less is more! The only things that I really found useful were:
The stroller of course, a couple bibs and change of cloths, about 6 diapers, wipes, arm'n'hammer dirty diaper bags, 1 or 2 bottles with the formula ALREADY measured out, pacifiers, and a few toys for the ordeal. I'll leave it at that for now. Unless you are going to China and will be on a long long long flight, fight that urge to cram everything into your carry-on that you know will just get all shoved around on the flight. If your baby is in your lap, it's hard to dig down into your diaper bag anyways.
