There are certain things needed for a baby’s first holiday. Recommendations are that babies don’t fly for 6 weeks after birth, which is perfect, as that is roughly how long it will take to get all the things needed for your baby’s first holiday. Babies born after 1998 will need their own passport, and it is strongly advised that you get travel insurance and an E111 (for European travel). If you are worried about travelling with a baby on holiday, visit your GP to ensure you get any immunisations your baby may need as well as gaining important information and advice about things like sun cream factors, feeding and travelling whilst abroad. A list of baby essentials on holiday can be found at HolidayWithBaby.com.

Flying is usually seen as the biggest hurdle when travelling with a baby on holiday, but taking a baby on holiday abroad by air is not nearly as daunting as it may seem. Airlines, including British Airways will take babies after 48 hours of birth, (if you feel up to it), but guidelines recommend waiting for at least 4 weeks. Some airlines are more welcoming of babies, providing the essentials for babies on holiday, especially when the flights are not fully booked. BMI are often considered the best for going on holiday with a baby. If you pack a bag of baby holiday essentials for the flight, there should be few problems, as the sound of the engines usually puts babies to sleep, especially on night flights. Feeding during take off and landing will also help smooth your baby’s experience, helping overcome sensitivity to changes in cabin pressure.
