The mam bottles are really good to take away as you sterilise them in the microwave xx

I flew to Ireland with my baby when he was 8 weeks, I just took Milton tablets and cold sterilised everything. I gave my little boy a feed for take off and we never had any problems with his ears x

Milton sterilising fluid x

I used a mixture of milton sterlising tablets and I got a bag that you use in the microwave but you can only do one bottle at a time. I took 2 bottles filled with water in bottle warmers. You are allowed liquid when it's for a baby. I then had 2 spare bottles and got them filled with hot water on the plane. I fed my baby on take off as helped with ear popping and luckily the noise of the plane engine kept him sleeping most of the flight x

I breastfeed so I don’t have to take bottles etc so not sure about that, but what I would really recommend to make life easier is a sling! Get a comfortable baby carrier so you’ve got both hands free at the airport. This helps so much. The ergo360 with newborn insert or a close Caboo are good for this age.

If you are checking a large type pram into the hold, make sure the wheels are either attached securely maybe with an extra tie or something or in a bag attached - I’ve seen someone’s expensive pram wheel rolling off down the luggage belt before!

Spare change of clothes for you and your travelling partner, not just baby - Incase any poo explosions on board! ;)
