Our Baby Travel Essentials this Summer

It is summer and time for a holiday after quite a difficult year. We at Oakleaf Private Childcare have put together our packing essentials for your baby, whether you are a first time parent or an expert, so you can relax and enjoy your summer holidays.

• A baby carrier- whether it is a sling or backpack, this will make travelling so much easier. It also gives your baby the chance to see what you are seeing and enjoy their surroundings too!

• A small blanket - for those sudden naps in out places of interest.

• As many bottles as you need for 24 hours (around 8), plus one or two spares

• Freshly boiled water in vacuum flask

• Formula

• Nappies of every kind you need

• Baby wipes (we love these water wipes which have no hidden ingrediants and are completely natural)

• Breast Milk cooler bag

• Toys, books and things to keep them entertained

• Extra clothes in case of an accident
