Hi all,

I am just in the process of booking a holiday abroad for sept, probably spain or turkey, so not too far.  My son will be 11 months old at the time and I am starting to worry about all the stuff that I need to take.

Has anyone got any top tips on what to take and of course what can be left at home.  We will have stopped sterilising bottles by then, so at least I don't need to think about that aspect. 

Thanks

Hiya we went to portugal when my son was 16months old. thing's like Nappy's we took one of the small pk's of pampers then just bought Nappy's from supermarket there same with wipes. remember something to amuse them on plane we took some books and the sharpe puzzle's the best thing we had tho was a shade a babe they cover Ur buggy and block out the sun great where we were out and about and Aiden had a nap stopped him getting to hot and shaded him we even started using it in the evening if we went for a drink and he was sleeping so not to wake him with lights and thing's. it really was the best buy for an abroad holiday. hope this help x

Hello!
I think the only thing you really need to take is milk (formula)....obviously clothes etc....but believe me you can buy nappies wipes...baby food...every thing you can imagine over there lol! All I can say is remember hight factor cream over 50 (but you can get that there)...a hat...and jelly shoes (or crocs) for the little one so they can wear them in the pool or the sea!! And as Ash said a sunshade for your pram...you can also get mozzy nets to go over the prams as well!!
