Look for Family Friendly

Check out destinations that advertise themselves as being family friendly. Many places now run children's clubs and may even offer a crèche facility. One word of warning though, don't pin your hopes on lazing by the pool while your child goes to the activity club. My son took one look at 'clubroom' and cried, he stayed for half an hour the whole fortnight we where there!

Is Your Holiday Fully Protected?

Before you book, check brochures and websites for the ATOL logo and licence number. Ask your travel agent whether your complete holiday is ATOL protected. If your tour operator were to fail, the CAA will make a refund to you, or, if you're abroad, it will arrange for you to finish your holiday and fly home. Also look for the ABTA logo, which means choice, value, and high levels of service.

Sharing Experiences:

Hi, my travelling experiences abroad: I travelled to Lanzarote with my 5 month old baby, she decided just before we were due to travel that she didn't want me to breastfeed her anymore so I was left with the dilemma of having to take umpteen pieces of sterilising equipment. My advice for anyone else in the same situation to take a small travel kettle in order to boil the water and to use bottled water (this was recommended to me by my health visitor). Plus, try to take as many nappies, formula and other paraphernalia you need because, as I discovered, it’s very expensive to buy the essentials abroad! Happy travelling!!

"I would like to recommend Thomson SuperFamily Holidays. We went twice with them last year and it was brilliant. They provide a sterilser and bottle warmer so you don't have to take the kitchen sink. I was worried about taking a baby abroad but in Spain they have nappies, wipes, milk and baby food. Don't feel that you are restricted to the UK it is not such a chore as you might think."
