To ask you to critique my first holiday with baby list

[elm26]

Hi everyone

Just wondering if any experienced parents can help me with my list for going to Portugal on Wednesday next week, baby is 4 months old and on CMPA prescription formula.

We are leaving ours at 2am so I will put a baby grow on her for the car and airport.

We have a washing machine at the villa.

Thank you!

Vest
2 muslins
Her comforter
One small blanket

10 babygrows (villa has air con)
10 vests
7 outfits (casual shorts & T-shirts and light summer dresses)
Bottles
Pack of nappies
2 packs of wipes
Pram fan
3 more bottles
Some more dummies

2 x swimsuits
Couple of sun hats
Baby sun cream
All in one baby body and hair wash
Another blanket
6 muslins

More babygrows for the plane. Babies can sense when you have a limited amount. My first flight with a baby, he pooped through the nappy AT THE AIRPLANE DOOR. After being changed at the gate 5 min before boarding. Guess he wanted to see what a nappy change in one of those small toilets is like…

I think a sun protection suit would be better than a swimsuit. Do you need two swim nappies and hats? I’m not sure you need a pram fan. What about a stick-up blackout blind?

@EatYourVegetables 😂 you're so right, it's always when you've used your last spare. I will add 2 more baby grows to my list! Thank you x

You need spare clothes for you in the plane, even just a vest/leggings.

@wellandtruly sorry I should have clarified that the swimsuits are the full body ones with built in sun protection.

I'm only packing 1 pack of swim nappies which I think has 10 in it.

I figured I'd rather have a couple of sun hats than 1 as they're so light and not any room to pack.

She loves her pram fan, just a small clip on one, it can clip to anything and we use it regularly in this heat we have at the moment.

Villa has black out curtains and she's used to our normal curtains here, doesn't seem to make a difference to her sleep.

Thank you!
