Spain holiday with 8 month old

[RainbowsAndRain]

Planning a family holiday to Malaga/Cordoba (and a few other areas in Spain) in December with our 8 month old. Flights will be with Ryanair, do I need to add on luggage or will 2 adult under the seat bags plus I think a free baby bag be enough for 6 days?
Also any tips on travel with a baby, do I need to take baby food, how many spare clothes, nappies etc? (My husband has really bad travel sickness so tips for that would also be helpful)
Any tips for the holiday in Spain would be great too, places to eat, visit, hiring a car etc

A long time since I've travelled with a baby, but I seem to recall he needed as much luggage space as I did !
Check the size of the allowed bags, Ryanair are the meanest airline.
Pre-book a car-seat for the hire car, & specify the baby's age.

Yes, you'll need hold luggage with a baby, no way around it. I don't think you need to take baby food with, you can buy it anywhere now, ditto nappies, only take as many as you'd need to travel plus extras in case you can't get to a shop quickly/JIC of excess pooping. Spare clothes, might depend on your baby really - for 6 days I'd probably take three extra sets.

Make sure you have enough nappies and food with you in the airport in case of long delays.

Things you might need

Blackout blind
Pushchair sun cover
Sippy cup
Plastic spoon
Kids sunglasses
Kids mosquito spray
Sun tent for beach

Yeh I think you will need hold luggage. We went to Spain for two weeks and had something ridiculous like 70kg between the three of us🙈
we took 8 nappies per day. I was worried the change in food would make him loose but he was fine. We packed food that we new he would eat.(Ella's kitchen) we had a little microwave so sometimes we would heat up a meal around 5:30 as he was hungry and the buffet didn't open till half 6. We also took enough milk to have 4 bottles a day. He was on two at home. You can see why I needed the extra weight........😂😂

As others have said Ryanair's standard bag for adults is tiny. You can add a larger cabin bag each for the adults (ie 2 large cabin bags, 2 small cabin bags, 1 baby bag) which might be enough if you travel light and buy things there. But remember you need to carry that amount of luggage around airports including boarding the plane as well as your baby. Far better to check in hold luggage and minimise what you have to take on to the plane with you.
