So you’ll definitely pack more than you need as we all do on first holidays! But if they’re still bottle/breast fed then you need a steriliser. You can take milk through security with extra checks so take as much as you need. Obvs nappies and swim nappies (swim nappies can be reused if you dry them out so don’t take loads), take snacks you know they’ll enjoy if you’ve stared weaning. Other than that just the usual clothes, toiletries etc. You’ll want toys and books etc to keep them busy. Suction toys are great for sticking to windows etc. If they take a dummy get some dummy clips so they aren’t falling into the floors of airports/airplanes 🤢, blankets & comforters if they have them but make sure you check every 30 seconds that they haven’t dropped these 🥲 change of clothes for the plane and a travel pram, try and get one that’s cabin approved so you can have it on the plane with you as the wait/walk in between baggage reclaim etc. can be long!! A baby carrier if you can’t get a pram.

Thank you this helps alot I'm abit nervous and think I will be getting a pram not sure if I can use a baby carrier as I'm 14 weeks pregnant

@Francesca I travelled 4 months pregnant with a 10 month old, you can carry your baby 🥰 depending on your time in the airport/transfer if you’re only going to Greece you’ll be absolutely fine! The restrictions in cabin approved prams now is so strict I’ve noticed (we had a trip in January across multiple airlines) so make sure you really look into them before purchase!

Okay thank you wasn't sure about a carrier because of the bump , do you know of any good suncreams for baby's as I've gone through so many reviews on amazon and it seems 50/50 weather they are good or not, then when I think I have found one with better reviews the next one will say there child burnt badly with it

You don’t actually need to bring a steriliser with you - just get a packet of Milton tablets and a collapsible washing up bucket. Milton wipes also great for sterilising toys, dummies, etc., on the go.

Because your little one is still only 6 months, I would focus on keeping them out of the sun as much as possible. This page has some useful tips and recommendations. Personally, I like La Roche Posay and Riemann P20 but Banana Boat is also a good one. https://www.emmasdiary.co.uk/baby/baby-health-and-illnesses/baby-sunscreen

Thank you

Do I need to get anything for her ears on the plane and do you think a pool floaty is a good idea
