We’ve come up with the ultimate family holiday checklist so you can be fully prepared for your holiday. We’ve also included our tried and trusted recommendations for the best products to invest in, so you can be sure your holiday goes off without a hitch!

Recommended family holiday checklist

For the suitcase:

  • Clothes – Don’t forget vests / socks / PJs / sleeping bag (if used)
  • Wash bag – Don’t forget toothbrush and toothpaste / bodywash / creams / sponge
  • Mini medi bag – Don’t forget Calpol and thermometer
  • Beakers / formula / dispenser
  • Muslins (including giant ones I love Aden & Anais, great to put over mattress or as sheet. Take one that smells of home so they feel settled) / bibs
  • Mini steriliser or I sometimes used Milton tablets / bottle brush / Detol wipes
  • iPod and speakers or travel mobile / batteries / adaptors / baby monitor
  • Toys / books / teddy / favourite snuggle (I only ever take a few)
  • Random bits – I often pop to JoJo Maman Bebe before a trip and always take portable bath spots that act as a bath mat / bath toys / mosquito net / mosquito patches
