Hello mums!
We're going on our first holiday abroad with our baby in a few weeks and I'm struggling to work out how to pack everything we need for bottle feeding (bottles, pump, sterilising stuff) without it taking up loads of space!
Open to any tips and tricks, thanks so much!

Bring your washing up bowl and brush that you use to wash your bottles if you do them separately and washing up liquid - some countries it’s very hard to find (Egypt being one where we are) in the same bowl use Milton tablets for sterilising so easy lasts 24 hours and takes 15 mins to sterilise same goes for dummies etc

We take our steriliser with us. Yes it takes up space but at least your bottles are dried and ready to go. I take fairy liquid and wash the bottles in the sink. They get sterilised after all.

We're in Menorca currently and before we left we emailed our hotel to find out what facilities they have. They already have lots of things like several microwave areas, so we've just taken mam bottles and dummies as these can self steam sterilise in microwave and has saved so much space as previously we thought we'd have to take the Milton's bucket etc. Our baby has 4 feeds daily, occasionally extra, so we took 5 bottles for the whole trip and just keep washing them in the designated areas in the hotel, then steam sterilising. Hotel also provided washing up liquid which was handy. You can also buy in several supermarkets at home microwave sterilising bags etc. - I've seen them in our local Asda - double check online but I think these are fine to use with pump parts.
