Packing for abroad!

Due to fly with my 11.5 month old, 4 hour flight. She’s bottle fed with formula.
Can anyone suggest some things you think I might of forgot to pack? I’m worried about forgetting something but I feel like I have a list as long as my arm🤣

Also how is everyone sterilising bottles abroad? Is it Milton tablets? Never used Milton so worried about the whole new rinsing off thing and stuff?
Thank you! X

We bought a Nuby travel UV steriliser for holiday (we go this week). It wasn’t cheap but I think it’s a good purchase. We also have Milton sterilising tablets as a back up. Apparently when you’re ready to use it you just rinse with water.

I found the Milton sterilising tablets left a weird smell on the bottles! I’d definitely recommend the nuby travel UV!! Expensive but worth it.

I also bought a lunch box (sounds silly) that had different compartments for snacks, it was added entertainment for my toddler! 🤣 xx

Car seat help!! 🙏🙏

(Please ignore the messy car)
We had this car seat fitted yesterday by Halfords but the seat belt is in the way of putting my baby in. The guy who fitted it said it has to be like this so it’s diagonal in the back but I can’t put my baby in from the outside I have to go inside the car and buckle her in.
There must be another way 😩 or some trick to fix the seat belt down easily, put baby in, then put it back out? I need to sort this out asap because she already hates the car seat and she’s especially annoyed at it after daycare so I can’t make it worse 🥲

Breast Feeding

When I was younger, my mom used to explain to me that she didn’t breast-feed because her breasts were really big in this new generation. Is that a thing?
I currently wear a 36 triple D or 36E and I just wanna make sure when I do start breast-feeding that I won’t smother my baby with my breast

Insomnia in the First Trimester

Hey, I think I have just hit week 7 and I have been really struggling with insomnia over the past 2 weeks. I seem to struggle to go off to sleep and stay asleep for longer than 30 minutes - 1 hour. Some nights I literally get no sleep at all. I just feel so tired, but completely wired. How is everyone else faring?

Do your babies actually sleep in their bassinet??

FTM to a 3 week old girl and she does NOT sleep in her bassinet 😭as soon as I set her down in it she stays sleep for like 20 seconds and then starts crying to be held. Does anyone have any hacks or advice that I can use to get her to sleep in her bassinet?
