For the snacks 🍿
A fed baby is a happy baby! Bring on all the snacks and hacks to survive the day
Perfect size for kids! If you have multiple kids o almost recommend getting two or another style. This is good because only one compartment at a time is open, which is hard when you have multiple kids
GoBe Kids' Small Snack Spinner Slide Baby and Toddler Food Storage Container - Twinberry Blue - 11oz
This one is better when you have multiple kids. Easier to share. The compartments come out which makes it easy to clean!
Bandesun Divided Serving Tray with Lid & Handle
For younger kids, I think a snack cup like this is better. The handles are easier to hold onto. The soft silicone allows hands to go in and not get cut. We love the mushie brand!
Mushie Snack Cup - Pink Flowers
Might be one of the only cups I’ve used that are truly leakproof! For travels (and beyond!) this cup is perfect. Tons of options for colors. Sold in multiple stores

Having a sleep schedule that isn’t altered too much helps us a lot! Here are some of our favorites to help sleeping! Bc sleeping in a new place can sometimes take some effort
This is our favorite sound machine! Love using the okay to wake feature. Great for travel bc you don’t need WiFi. Also has a good battery life for when you don’t hsve access to cord/chargers
Hatch Rest 2nd generation - Night Light, Sound Machine, and Time-to-Rise
If you child sleeps in a blackout room, I recommend grabbing these for cribs or pack and plays! Very helpful and easy to set up and install.
SlumberPod
MOM HACK!
This is going to be SUPER out there. But if you are on a budget and can’t afford the pod. You can use foil on windows as a blackout shade! Use painters tape for quick and easy install with no damage!
Aluminum Foil
If you have a toddler that needs a full bed, bring a bed rail. It’s easy to put bed against wall and use the rail on the other side. This folds down easy and can be set up in minutes! Grab a queen for a decent fit on most beds
