Also how do we go about sterilising the bottles if we can't use the tap water? And if we go for a day out I have no idea how we would be able to take enough boiled water with us. Anyway has anyone been to Mexico with a baby under 1 on formula? Thanks x

When going out for the day, could you bring with you some of the pre made bottled formula. We’re on Kendamil and when we went abroad I just brought enough ready to feed bottles x
Hes on cow and Gate. I did think about that but I think to take enough would weigh the luggage down but I will pack as many as I can. It's gonna be a nightmare constantly boiling water 🤣 x x
Thank you Amy. I didn't know about the sulphate and sodium levels! It's going to be a stressful holiday I think 😂 x x

Just spread it out between hand luggage and checked in luggage and maybe just take enough for when you go out and use boiled water for round the hotel x

We sterilised same was as Amy suggested but we had a collapsible bucket that we filled with water and Milton tablet then left the bottles in there with a plate on to weigh them down. If you are all inclusive they will give you plenty of bottled water but we took a small travel kettle as they often have coffee makers instead. We also took a flask so that I could take boiled water out with us.
If there is a boots after security at your departure airport you can order formula online to collect at airport then it doesn’t count towards your luggage and you can carry it on.
Thanks so much for this. I feel much more relaxed about it all now x x
