Hotel stay tips with a baby

Hi folks, would really appreciate any good tips/advice please for staying in a hotel with a 14month old? We will be taking a travelcot and his buggy and all ok with what to pack for clothing etc but I'm not sure how we will manage the two milk feeds he needs in the day and all 3 meals out with him. He's currently used to having his cow's milk in a bottle still and slightly warmed. Going on a city break for 3 days and nights with family and using train and taxis. Have done self catering before which was fine as it's home from home so could keeps meals and snacks/ drinks the same. Thank you!

Bring a measuring jug and you can boil water and stand the bottle in it for a minute to warm the milk. You’ll need to ensure there is a fridge of course to store the milk. Mealwise it would depend where youre going but I would buy yoghurt pouches and fruit for the room so you can have them on hand for him, and maybe the unflavoured instant porridge pots that you add boiling water to? And probably want to take some of the pouches or fruit out with you.

@CeeCee Thank you, I'll get some porridge pots and fruit/yoghurt pouches. Measuring jug sounds very doable too. Will check about a small fridge in the room 😊👍

My only advice would be to not overthink it! Let him eat what you eat, let him sleep when he sleeps! It’ll make your trip so much more enjoyable, and he’ll enjoy it too I’m sure :) Have you got a baby carrier that you can wear him in / put him on your back for a change of scenery? Have you got a bibado type bib so he can eat as messily as he likes whilst you’re out?

Thanks will bear that in mind. We do have a carrier, if he's not in the buggy he'll want to be walking holding hands but may take I as another option too. Have some rubber bibs which work well out and about too :-)
