Like any American, traveling occasionally is just what I love doing and I bet you share the same stuff with me. But traveling does not mean that you would be safe. Escaping from our job and other stressful activities is just something that w Torres del Paine is among the biggest of Chiles national parks, occupying almost 600,000 acres (242,000 ha) of land in the south on the border with Argentina.

It is incredible how much you think you need to pack for your baby on holiday. There are nappies, baby milks, high spf sun creams, bottles, sterilisers, water wings, umpteen changes of clothes and need I go on? Surely you dont need to pack absolutely everything? But what do you need to take on holiday and what can you buy at the holiday resort when you get there? We have researched the most popular holiday destinations for which baby products are available abroad and which you're going to have to cram in that case.1. Baby formula milksBaby formula milks are available in supermarkets and pharmacies abroad. Cow and Gate and Aptamil are available in some European countries under other brand names, but do be aware that they can be much more expensive. Some people have experienced that milks brought abroad have a different consistency. But you know yourself if your baby would tolerate a change in formula milk or whether you would prefer to add your favourite brand to the packing list.2. Baby foodJars of baby food can be brought supermarkets and pharmacies in most of the world. Be aware that the flavours may differ from baby food available in the UK; for example in Spain, the fish dishes have a strong flavour, in Italy you can find Ostrich flavour baby food and in France, the range of baby foods available are particularly broad and are considered excellent quality. No doubt you can find something to suit your baby. Or, if you have the facilities, you can make your own. Seasonal fruit and vegetables particularly in Spain, France and Italy are excellent and make great baby purees or snacks. 3. NappiesA two week supply of nappies, takes up a fair amount of valuable suitcase space. So why not buy these at your holiday destination? Take enough for the flight and the first day or two in case the supermarkets are closed when you arrive. Huggies and/or Pampers, as well as shops own brands, are available in most stores. Though do note that Pampers are called Dodots in Spain. Youll easily find wipes too, though they can be more heavily perfumed in some countries. Nappy sacks are a rarer commodity.4. Sterilising baby bottlesThere are some great products available for sterilising baby bottles when travelling. Find out if you have a microwave where youre going as sterlising bags are really handy and take up very little packing space. You could consider disposable baby bottles, or a collapsible bucket and some sterlising tablets.5. Medicines for Baby and ChildrenNurofen can be found in some pharmacies abroad, but Calpol isnt known to be widely available. It is reassuring to have a familiar brand to give your baby or toddler if they are ill on holiday so it may be a good idea to take some of the 5ml sachets. These are very handy and dont take up much suitcase space. If you forget, however, or need more while on holiday, France, Italy and Spain for example, all have excellent pharmacies and youll find paracetamol and ibuprofen for babies and children there. Dose tables should be obvious to read in whichever language, but do double check before administering any medicine.6. Baby Travel SeatsBabies and children are very much welcomed in Europe and will undoubtedly receive a lot of attention, particularly if eating out. However, this affection doesnt always go hand in hand with good baby facilities abroad. You may, for example, need to change your babys nappy in their buggy and high chairs are frequently not available. Consider taking an easy to pack travel seat that you can carry around with you on holiday. Some of the material ones are also handy to use in high chairs or supermarket trolleys that may come without safety straps. Are you prepared now? Is that suitcase finally shut tight?Of course, as well packed as you might be, when go on holiday with your baby and children, there are bound to be things you forget or didnt realise you might need. But dont despair as supermarkets abroad at popular tourist destinations will stock most baby products. Happy baby holidays.
