Self catering with baby tips!

[squizita]

Top tips please!
We are going on a long weekend with our 7 month old, to a self catering park (caravans, statics, chalets, tents with a shop and pool ... nothing wild!).
First time with a baby though we've self catered before.

I'm thinking take our "sleepyhead" instead of a travel cot and pop it on the child bed next to ours? This is similar to our set up at home.
Does that sound ok?

Also ... Top tips for things not to forget or little hacks to make it as easy as possible!

I'd definitely take anything that will make bedtime more familiar to your baby - favourite bedding, teddy, pyjamas etc. If you have one of those portable blackout blinds then take that too.

I also take along a fold-up changing mat and set up a changing station in one of the rooms so I'm not constantly having to dig through bags to get to nappies and wipes.

Other stuff:

• baby cutlery
• jug for bath time
• calpol
• little suitcase/bag with toys in it
• antibacterial surface wipes

Calpol

When ive stayed in a caravan type thing it's not had the prospect of a Highchair so I bought one of those pack away ones, which was pretty useful.

Anti bac wipes- give everything a quick swipe
Cotton travel high chair. Or if you are taking your car, pack a bumbo.
A few jars/pouches of favourite foods just in case
Uv sun hat- boots sells them
Good pushchair sunshade
Calpol
Basic first aid kit
A few books and not noisey toys.

The raincover for the pushchair!
Something to plonk them on/in so a play mat or rug, a door bouncer or similar.
I used to think through the day from wake up to bedtime and do a list of all of the equipment we needed plus stuff we might need in an emergency like the thermometer & calpol. Whilst going in the UK means you're never far from a 24hr supermarket and can buy anything you've forgotten, it is annoying spending money when you have the exact same product at home.
What I would be tempted to do would be to just give your DC mushed banana or avocado or jars/pouches or finger food for pretty much every meal. I have fond memories of going on holiday with DD at a similar age and we'd give her some tea, play, pop her in the bath & into PJs and then stroll along to the seafront with her in the pushchair and we'd have a drink and then go for dinner. If she hadn't fallen asleep already, she always would be by the time we'd finished our starter. It was a really nice holiday.

A bath mat / couple of those stick on shapes instead of a bath mat /flannel / something, anything for slippery baby in bath moments. Or just don't bother till u get home...

Swim nappies

Great - thanks all! Will look into a travel high chair (or just take the anti lop if car space permits.
She's a big fan of crackers and fruit/cheese thankfully. .. good to hear no blender required.
