[quote=Anonymous]to bring:  more diapers and wipes than you thought were necessary and a change of clothes, possibly 2.  if you're breastfeeding, the feeding part is easy.  it's supposed to be good for baby to nurse on takeoff and landing to equalize their ears.  if not, a paci and plenty of formula.   in fact the paci is probably a good idea regardless.  a kindle for while baby sleeps.

ID:  no, unless its an international flight, in which case baby needs a passport

Car seat - some places refuse to rent them, for liability reasons.  i always brought ours.

checklists.  i consulted about a billion of these online before I traveled with new baby.  i don't remember any of them being particularly perfect.

stroller - i always had a stroller and a carrier.  stroller was useful for lugging stuff when baby was in carrier.  and sometimes it was nice to be able to put baby down someplace safe and relatively clean in the airport.  carrier was useful for soothing fussy baby and walking up and down the aisles.

pump - i would avoid pumping on the plane if possible.  too much trouble.  if not possible, just rinse the parts when you're done and store them in a ziploc in whatever cooler you're storing the milk in.  wash or sterilize when you get where you're going.
