Pack your bottles, teats, a small bottle of dishwashing detergent, bottle brush, bottle warmer if you use one, and any sterilising equipment. ![]() Take your nursing comfort balm, a wrap if you would like privacy for you and bub (especially if they get distracted easily), particularly in busy places like airports on flights. Remember to pack extra wipes, a portable change mat, nappy bags, hand sanitiser (who goes anywhere without that now!), and nappy rash cream. You may want to pack enough for the whole holiday if you’re not confident you can get your preferred brand at your destination. Pack more nappies than you think you’ll need for the journey. ![]() You might like to bring a small bottle of laundry detergent and/or laundry soaker to make sure their clothes don’t stain. Find out if there are laundry facilities, and if not, bring at least two changes (layers are always good) of clothes per day. Some clamp onto tables or strap onto chairs, but they are fantastic for keeping your baby upright and safely restrained at the table at mealtimes. ☐ Travel highchair/portable booster seat. A good way to prevent getting ill on the plane is to first wipe down the tray table, remote, screen, and any surfaces you or your baby will touch. If your baby is especially sensitive to light at bedtime, you will not want to forget these!

Even if it’s warm where you’re going, a blanket that smells like home might be comforting. Depending on the terrain, and how much walking you plan to do, take a lightweight pram or travel stroller. If you’re flying and then hiring a car at your destination, you may need to take your own infant car seat. A securely fitted seat is essential in the car, but can be useful when you travel by plane. You might be able to buy them at your destination, but they could be hard to find, so it’s good to have your own supply if you plan to be in the pool or at the beach. If they’re over 6 months, pack a baby sunscreen that is at least SPF30+ and is effective against UVA and UVB. If your baby is under 6 months, you’ll need to keep your baby out of the sun completely. Pack your baby’s first-aid essentials including the thermometer, baby paracetamol, colic drops, teething medication, plus any emergency contact numbers and health insurance details. It’s a good idea to take ones in your carry-on luggage or the backseat of the car that are easily wipeable because they’ll inevitably end up on the floor more than twice!
