So Iam leaving for Florida in 3 days just a few question?

We are driving...I know we are crazy but we couldnt afford the airfare plus rental car... Anyway does anyone have suggestions of what to bring. We have one of those things that go on top of our car so we have extra space. We have a timeshare in Kissimmee so thats where we will be staying for the week.

We are bringing the pack n play
travel swing, bumbo, and stroller.

Also since Florida is so HOT...is it ok to give the baby water at times to keep her hydrated?? She is 4 1/2 months so I dont know what is an ok amount? She runs hot and sweats like her Daddy!

Thanks ladies!! Ill be back to check later!

We'll be driving the opposite way (FL to NY) in a few days so maybe we'll pass eachother in GA or somewhere!

Yes, it's extremely hot and humid here lately (like 95 with heat index over 105). I wouldn't stay outside for more than 1-2 hours at a time and definitely try to keep her out of the sun most of the time. I didn't give DD water until 6 months so i'm not sure about that, but I think formula or BM keeps them hydrated enough. Have fun!

Formula is all she needs, but I don't think it would harm her to give her some sips of water here and there. You should not use sunscreen on a baby that little though-not sure what you plan to do about that. At that age my kids did really well in the car so you should be fine. I just took my 19 month old twins on a road trip back and forth NC-NY and they did extremely well.
