Tips for travelling with babies and toddlers:

  • Blackout tent – a great way to create a nighttime environment for your baby, especially during daytime naps. Fab for those camping holidays and also sharing the same room.
     
  • Travel cot – I recommend a light and easy travel cot such as Nuna Sena with a good mattress. Remember: a good night’s sleep makes everyone happy and, if the bed is uncomfortable, your baby won’t get a good sleep.
     
  • Sterilising bottles and teats – Use micro-steam sterilisation bags by Medela to clean and sterilise bottles, teats, pacifiers, etc in the microwave. They can be re-used up to 20 times and take up very little room. Check your hotel room has a microwave in advance of travel.
     
  • Travel highchair – The Totseat Travel Highchair is squash-able and fits any type of chair.
     
  • Packing for a long-haul flight – Work out the door-to-door timeframe and then double your supplies. So for a flight of 36 hours I would take enough supplies for 72 hours.
