A simple visit plan keeps expanding into a packing spreadsheet

We're going for a short visit with the baby, and my partner started a checklist that now includes items we've never used. I know the intention is to avoid forgetting things, but the list is more complex than the outing. What is a sensible way to trim it?

Group things by immediate care and true backup, not every imagined possibility.

Look at what you used on the last comparable outing, then add only obvious essentials.

  The last-outing check is more grounded than our current thought experiment.
