Your baby-friendly beach list is here!
Must-haves for a smooth first holiday in the sun
So, you’ve booked your first holiday in the sun with your little one—hooray!
But what on earth do you pack when it’s not just beach reads and bikinis anymore? From sun-safe essentials to baby-friendly gear, we’ve rounded up everything you’ll need to make your sunny escape as smooth as possible.
👙 Swim-Ready and Sun-Safe
You might not be lounging quite like you used to, but you can still feel great poolside.
-
Maternity swimwear that fits (and flatters): Grab yourself a chic suit from the Boohoo maternity swimwear sale. Whether you’re post-bump or still rocking it, their affordable styles have got you covered (literally).
-
Swim nappies that stay on: Don’t forget Huggies Little Swimmers – just £3.50 at Boots. Designed for pool play, these won’t puff up like regular nappies and are a total holiday must.
🌞 Sun Protection = Non-Negotiable
Little ones’ skin is super delicate, and the sun can be sneaky.
-
Bundle up the SPF: The Grüum suncare bundle is a go-to for gentle, effective sun protection for the whole family.
-
Keep cool on wheels: Don’t sweat it—literally. Add a stroller fan and clip-on sun shade to your buggy for breezy strolls, even on scorching days.
✈️ Travel Light (and Smart)
Gone are the days of carry-ons and beach totes—you’re officially a pushchair-packing pro.
-
Stroller that fits overhead: Meet the Cosatto Yo! stroller. Cabin-approved, cute-as-anything, and folds down with one hand. You're welcome.
-
Peaceful plane rides, please: Pack a pair of earbuds for inflight white noise (or Bluey on loop for you) and enjoy the briefest moment of zen.
✨ Final Tips
- Pack light, but pack smart. You’ll need fewer outfits for baby than you think (unless yours loves a good outfit change every hour).
-
Don’t forget the basics: muslins, a compact changing mat, and baby’s favourite toy for mid-flight meltdowns.
-
Most importantly: Go easy on yourself. Sun, sea and a smiley baby? That’s a win already.
