baby wipes in a travel case

2 receiving blankets
large cotton blanket (for extra comfort on long car trips)
2 rattles & teething rings
your baby's favorite small stuffed animal or toy a musical toy or book
bottles with breast milk or formula stored in an insulated carrier jar
baby food, dish and spoon
2-3 burping rags

2-3 plastic bags (for disposing of dirty diapers) tissues
small toiletry bag to hold supplies
