First holiday with Baby

2 replies

Before we had our little boy we went to Tenerife 2/3 times a year.
We would like to go on Holiday there with him he is 4 months old, I was wondering if anyone has any advice or tips for going abroad with a baby for the first time.
What age would you say is best?
How do you travel abroad with bottles/milk?
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated thanks!Smile

We first took our DD around that age and honestly it was brilliant! She slept quite a bit because of the heat (and it wasn't even that hot!), was happy to sit in her pushchair and watch the world go by, or lie in the shade. Plus she slept through every dinner in the evening.

We had an apartment which meant formula was easy to make. We used MAM bottles which could just be steralised in the microwave and we also took some Milton tablets. A couple of the big bottles of ready made formula (that you can store in the fridge after opening) along with the small cartons for out and about made it easy.

You can pre order formula to pick up from boots after security at airports, I think you need to do it a few days in advance so worth checking out.
