To ask for your travel tips with 1 year old

Off to Spain in a couple of weeks with 1 year old DD. Short flight, early take off at 7:35 so I think she will sleep as we will be leaving for airport at 4am but if she doesn't, I need your best buys for keeping her busy on the plane.

I've got a couple of those window sucker spinny things (I've got brain rot today apologies for description 😂) and I've seen Amazon do the sensory board books with zips, buttons, etc in them. Is that a good idea or waste of £13?

Food? Shall I pack a sandwich for her, a bag of baby veggie crisps and a some fruit? Will that be enough? I'm stressing 🤦🏻‍♀️).

Also packing, we are going for a week and I'm taking 3 UV protection wetsuit type swimsuits with hats, travel fan that clips to her pram, sun cream, all in one body and hair wash, dummies, cot sheet for the travel cot, 7 babygrows to sleep in as air con will be on and 1 sleeping bag, 7 vests, 4 pairs of shorts, 4 dresses, 4 tops and a couple of lightweight jackets in case she needs them in the evenings, a blanket, 3 coverall bibs that I can rinse and hang out to dry, 1 pack of nappies, 7 swimming nappies, baby mosquito repellent, calpol and nurofen, sudocrem, savlon and 2 hooded swimming towels. Also going to pack a couple of her favourite books and toys for when we are getting ready to go out anywhere so she's occupied.

Have I missed anything?

Thanks if you made it this far from one tired mum 😅

Also ordered a snooze shade but I'm wondering if I've wasted my money as we have a parasol. Panic buying 😂

More clothes unless you have access to a washing machine. On the plane you need all the snacks and spare clothes for you. 7 swim nappies, is she only going in the pool once a day?

Thank you I'll chuck in some more tops, leggings, shorts and dresses. Do you think another 6/7 each? Or more? She's got a separate coming home top and bottoms.

I've got a spare T-shirt and leggings on my hand luggage list for me and also an extra outfit for DD, I forgot to put that.

Swim nappies are reusable as long as no poo, I've rinsed, dried and reused one twice before moving onto next one but I'll pack a another 7 just in case she does a poo in each one 😂 I'm sure I could also buy them out there if I was in desperate need.

Waste of money

Just get through the flight as best you can
