Preparing for baby's visits to grandparents' place

My baby is the first grandchild for both sides. So both our parents' houses currently do not have any baby stuff. Not sure how baby is going to rest when visiting. EDIT: Baby won't be staying overnight at either place at all. At most we will sneak out for short 1-hour couple time when baby naps at either parents' house. That's about it. There also isn't any spare bed at either house. Sofas are the old school hard solid Chinese style kind. Not comfy. 😅 Questions: Will I need to have baby stuff left at BOTH grandparents' houses? Do I need to buy travel playpen or bouncer etc. to bring over when visiting? As in something for baby to lie down in. What are the essentials I will need? How do you guys manage visiting your parents' place with a baby? Thanks! 💐 #firstbaby

Yes, it depends how long will u be at each house. If a few hrs, it's just like gg out, a few diapers, wet wipes etc. But if staying over often for a few days perhaps good to have a travel cot. Or u can buy a baby lounger for occasional visits. Shopee has cheap ones. Personally, I leave my baby lounger at my in-laws as we do weekly day visits. I also leave travel sized baby wash there just in case of a poonami 😜I have a travel cot at my mom's as I stay over often (still have my own bedroom there) and my mom will be taking care of my baby once I go back to work. My mom's hse is fully equipped with baby things tt my own hse is more of like a weekend staycation 😅
