Does anyone have tips about taking a 6 month old on holiday abroad?

How do you make bottles? How do I take milk on the plane? How is it sitting with them on your lap?
Do I take wipes and nappies or buy them there?
Anything in particular I should take that I may have missed?

I'm so nervous and thinking it's gonna be stressful! 🫣

Thank you 💗

You can usually order your formula from boots to be picked up at the terminal after check in.

I would have a think about how you want to sterilise your bottles.

If you have a microwave you could use a microwave steriliser for instance or you might want to try some sterilising tablets?

To keep your baby safe from the possibility of infection, sterilising all feeding equipment is key, particularly bottles.

We took my son at 5.5 months and honestly it was fine. We took as much premade as possible for ease. Then made up formula bottles using boiled bottled water with a low sodium content.

For sterilising we took a collapsible bucket and Milton.

We took wipes and nappies with us but could easily but there if you're short of space.
