What to take on baby first holiday abroad

[n14boo]

Hi all

I would love some help.

We are taking my 2 month old daughter to Spain for a week when she will be 3 months.

I wonder if anyone with experience can give me a list of all teh things I should be taking.

Here's mine

Nappies
Formula
Plasters
Calpol
Wipes
Thermometer
Savlon
Moisturiser
Suncream
Clothes
Swim suit
Sunhat


I need to know what other first aid things to pack and if anyone has any other useful ideas.

thank you so much, I really appreciate it. Im so worried I'll forget something.

If you search baby holiday in forum there have been some great threads with long lists of what you need. I've taken bubba twice and top things are

Muslins-can be used as sun barrier, light blankets etc
Mossie net for buggy
Sleeping bag and long sleeved sleepsuit if hotel has aircon
Miltons tablets as no need to rinse

UV tent?

Also, i would leave the nappies at home, just take a few for the journey & buy them out there. They're slightly more expensive in Spain but it'll save you loads of room in your suitcase

Thanks ladies.

I'm being a bit thick this morning and shoudl have said I'll be staying with mil anyway so she's buying nappies and formula over there.

I have the dummies and tablets on my list, got mossie net.

I'll have a look at the thread though, thanks very much xxx
