Hi everyone, New to net mums so trying to work all this out lol

Right so, I suffer with anxiety and I'm going to Benidorm in June and I'm panicking about what to take for my baby girl who will be 11 months old when we travel, I have most towels, costumes, floats etc

I'm wanting advice on best sun creams, clothing, baby milks & foods if possible ? And any holiday Essentials I'll need

Any advice will be greatful, Thankyou xx

Try not to worry, there'll be a supermarket there if you forget anything. Know roughly how much your baby weighs in case you need to buy nappies, the sizes aren't always the same as ours. Any high factor children's sun cream will be fine, unless she has eczema, just check the star rating on the back of the bottle.

Most airlines will let you take two baby items in the hold plus a changing bag (which in reality you can use as extra hand luggage).

Check with your hotel that they provide cot bedding, in case you need to take your own.

If she's still on bottles, take a bottle brush with you so you can clean it out. I don't think you need to sterilise bottles after 6 months.

Take lots of nappies and snacks in your hand luggage, in case of delays or lost bags.

As for clothing, we usually take a few days worth and hand wash things to save space. A good sun hat for is a must though.

You can take formula through airport security but you might be asked to taste it. You can also take a buggy upto the gate before they put it in the hold but they'll put a tag on it at check in.

If you're at a resort, there'll be lots of families around if you've forgotten something!
