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
