I used to joke that the pile of luggage we brought with us on our first trip with baby rivaled J.Lo’s - only ours wasn’t Louis Vuitton and we had to carry it ourselves (correction: husband aka pack mule carried it). Can you imagine what her luggage cart(s) looks like now that she’s a mother of twin toddlers?!
Let’s face it, gone are the days of traveling light. I once prided myself on galivanting through Europe with one bag strapped to my back, but now that same said bag would barely hold all the diapers. Yes, you can order baby supplies to be shipped to your hotel ahead of time, and that might be quite cost-effective now with the ridiculous airline baggage allotments (or lack thereof). Yes, depending on where you’re going you can always buy what you need once you get there (although rushing out to find a store is not the first thing I want to do when I’m traveling). My exhaustive, extensive packing lists are based on our trips to Cuba, where not only is it difficult to find baby supplies, the selection is minimal and what is there is quite expensive
