holiday questions????????? PLEASE
morning all
we have booked our holiday and we are going to turkey in may, 2 weeks before graces 1st birthday. i just have some questions i hope some of you can help with... ?
can i take cartons of milk on the plane? if i take my own?
we are travelling from leeds/bradford airport, has anyone travelled from there? i know they have a superdrug do they sell cartons of SMA?
grace is on SMA white, i know this goes upto 12 months. should i keep her on that while we are away or put her on to progress milk? she still has about 4 bottles a day as well as her food.
she has jars of food, should we be giving her "real" food now so she will eat what we eat on holiday?
please help girls im panicing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

id keep her on her normal milk rather than chage her.
id take some jars wth you becuase a lot of the food might not be suitable for her and you dont want to be restricted by where you can eat, we are going to america in sept when cam will be 15 months, im going to take some of the 12m+ meals just in case cos i dont want him living off pizza and burgers! lol!
i bet you'll have a great time, try not to stress out too much cos you wanna enjoy it! i stressed for a few months after booking ours but now i guess what will be will be!

I found travel sterilising bags yesterday at boots which look fab! I have been told that they may need to supply your water?? but to take water and powder seperatley is the answer.
Any one that has replied can I add to this by asking should jars be in hold luggage of hand luggage? I know that the pressure is different... and will the milk be ok in the foil package in the case because I know that the foil packs fill with air-like crisps in the hand luggage.

Quick up date after a call to the airline!! The foil packs-ie Hipp milk and most powdered baby food are fine in the hold-so that could save you taking the glass jars depending on the age of the baby!!
Oh and if you have a transfer booked on the coach baby is to sit on your lap-unless you've paid for a seat-so no car seat needed!

not sure what im gonna do about bottles to travel with. i was gonna take cartons thru with me but you have to open and taste them so once they are open they are no good after about an hour
wanted to take 3 bottles thru with me so not sure what to do

How about that idea?? xx

An idea I've had is because we fly early I'm going to put her in her sleeping bag-then we have a blanket and she's comfy-not affecting the luggage weight!! lol
As for food, I would start introducing lo to the food you eat, when we travelled back to the UK at Christmas my lo was the same age as yours will be when you travel. He had been eating whatever we had for about a month with no problems. If you are worried you can always check with the airport side Boots/ superdrug (the bit once you are through security) to see if they have any jars of food so you can get a few to take with you there to save on your luggage allowance.
My lo was also on ff cows milk by the time he was 12 months with only the odd bottle of formula so that may also be an idea so you don't have to worry about how much formula to take.
Other than that make sure you have plenty of snacks for the flight for your lo, raisins, baby biscuits etc are all good and help to keep them quiet! x
