Holiday Essentials
in Baby
Hi,
We're off on holiday to a chateau in the South of France in a few weeks. LO will be just over 7 months when we go and we're driving down.
I'm just starting to compile a list of things we need to take and wondered if any of you lovely ladies have any suggestions of things that you wish you'd taken on your holiday or couldn't have managed without that I might not have thought of.
Thank you!

Room Thermometer (both just in case)
Stock of Evian for bottles (just in case you can't get hold of boiled water)
Baby Suntan Lotion
Travel gym mat (GOD SEND)
CDs for car i.e. talking books (for sending them to sleep)
Fan for the car (in case it's hot)
I recently drove to France with my (then) 4 month old. The best thing about driving is you can take everything you need. Here was my list:
passport! (baby needs their own)
Sterilsor, brush, bottles, washing up liquid
dummies,
kettle,
formula +cartons for use when travelling
feeding equipment
microwave sterilisor bags
Changing bag, nappies, wipes, cream, babywash
suncream
muslins
sleeping bags
calpol +syringe
sleepsuits, vests,
bibs
blankets, towels
shoes and socks
outfits
travel cot
baby carrier
toys
chassis + carrycot
dont forget for driving in France- carry insurance documents, driving licences and proof of ownership inside the vehicle. Also you need a warning triangle and a reflective jacket in the car and it must bear the GB sticker. You are supposed to have headlamp converters aswell.
Apparently the police often stop English cars coming off the ferry/tunnel to check for these, they are legal requirements. (there are cheap ones on ebay)
Hope this helps xx
