As you know, we have recently come back from our family holiday in Crete.

We didn’t really know what to expect but we did plan everything down to the smallest detail to ensure that the travel side went as smoothly as possible and that the resort was perfect for our needs. So, if you are thinking about taking the kiddies abroad, here are my 5 tips to prepare for your summer holiday.

But to combat this I have done my research and this is my flying with a baby checklist:
