My husband and I love to travel and we have never let anything get in the way of this not even the birth of my first baby boy a few years back! We did have to change the sorts of activities we got up to on holidays (cycling tours are so not ideal when you have a baby in tow!) and we started to take breaks around the UK as opposed to putting our son through the rigmarole of going abroad. There are plenty of holidays available which cater to the needs of babies, our favourite being the Retallack Resort in amongst the beaches of Cornwall.

Retallack baby friendly holidays and other similar holiday camps can provide many items you could require whilst holidaying with a baby but there are several other home comforts which will prove useful if you remember to pack them.

• Pacifiers/Dummies Other parents might be able to aid your diminishing supplies of baby wipes and nappy cream but obviously, sharing dummies is not advised. Be sure to pack one in your suitcase (as well as a spare couple!)
• Baby food in English resorts like Retallack, tins of baby food can be found easily. Outside of the UK however, these can be hard to locate and even if you manage to, the high price tags may shock you.
• High SPF suncream The extra sensitive skin of babies must be protected from harmful sun rays. You 20 SPF will not be protective enough – pack at least a 50 SPF cream.
• Familiar toysEnsuring familiarity during a holiday is imperative for keeping your baby happy. The resort you are visiting may provide many toys for babies to play with but packing a couple of your child’s favourites is a good idea. These will also provide entertainment during transport travel.
• If there is any chance that your baby/toddler will miss the family dog, Retallack dog friendly accommodation is also available at resorts.
