I actually loved this bit, you can see your face is like ‘what the hell is my hair doing’ - I have watched you for a fair few years now, and I have to say I am loving your content atm, I’m a mum, we are currently doing our home up, and trying to get by in life - it’s nice to watch others do the same!
I remember ages ago you were saying you wanted to start a business, but hadn't thought of anything. Have you thought of doing babywear? As your saying your having difficulties finding what you want, so perhaps you could make the perfect product yourself!
Lol I loved the hair adjustment at the end. It's true going on holiday with a baby isn't a holiday. It's just travelling with a baby. But the more you do it the better you get at it ♥️
Moms, you can also travel with minimal baby gear. Lol, the 1st baby you travel with you take EVERY thing, but by the time you travel to several countries with 3 kids under 4, your attitudes and packing items completely change. Just do you, your baby will be fine and moms are famous for improvising just fine, and most babies and young kids are quick to adapt. Take that one toy, movie, or blanket they love, a carseat if you must, but between myself and my husband, we found wearing our youngest two gave us the freedom to stroll through older cities with cobblestones and often only get in a car to and from the airport. Hot water, boiling hot, kills germs. Alcohol wipes used for first aid applied to the bottom of their feet or legs cools them off quickly, the same method used to cool down an overheated dog on his paw pads, and they're tiny...fits in pocket, and can be used to wipe things before using boiling water. But please note, Lily is giving you amazing feedback, especially if you're an anxious new mom and maybe going to be travelling via car often once at your destination. Her analysis of her experience is very informative with great tips. I just want moms to know you don't have to panic if you forget something. Just improvise and have FUN, they grow up so fast.
kbbels I agree about everything. I went on holidays with my daughter when she was 4 months with a carry-on and we were ok. But I like hearing other people’s experiences anyway
kbbels thanks for your comment, mainly thank you for being so constructive and polite - this could have easily been written in a rude and hateful way, so I appreciate it. I do agree. Everyone needs to just do what feels right for them. Compared to some of my friends, I’m minimal 😂 We all just have to do what’s right for our families x
@@lilypebbles I wasn't trying to be critical, I just read a few comments about your baby items being higher end, which many of the sturdy good quality items, that will survive being passed down to your next 2 or 3 babies, tend to be. I just wanted those moms to know they can have an equally great trip wity less items, or moms not to panic if you forget something. Our first few long trips out of the US, looked very similar to what your experience showed. With one baby it was a bit easier but if you have two young ones you start slowly taking less and improvising, or do the minimum maybe based on location of destination and the amenities. I don't have very little ones anymore but I still love watching your videos. I wasn't trying to come off rude or judgemental, it's hard to always properly convey your meaning in the comment section. I mainly want all moms to know, especially new moms, that it's ok if your budget is smaller or you decide to take less. We should all have one common goal, and that's to build amazing lasting memories with our families. Don't stress or fell less if your budget is smaller, it won't take away from your memories. I hope you understand my comment wasn't directly towards your video. My heart hurt for the moms who felt higher end items couldn't be replaced by what their budgets can afford. All they needed to do was replace suggested items with those that fit their budgets.
You are so good at trying stuff, doing research and figuring out the best method for whatever it is you are working out. It’s so genuine. I don’t have a baby and I am still just so obsessed with watching your videos because you have an amazing talent for analyzing the entire research process and engaging us no matter the topic!! So well done!!! ❤️
I just came back from holiday with my 8 month old. It was her first flight (long haul of 8.5 hours) and needless to say I was stressed, mainly because I was traveling alone. I over packed my carry on on the first flight and didnt need half of what I packed. Biggest tip I can give is to relax. Babies can pick up on your emotions, so if your feeling stressed they will too. Second, book a night flight for long haul flights. Lastly, reserve the bassinet with your airline carrier, especially when traveling alone. I can't tell you how helpful it was to be able to put her down so I could eat, sleep etc.
We travelled around Europe for 3 weeks with our car when my first was 2 months and a half. It was VERY scary and stressful also because I had undiagnosed postpartum depression - which the trip made me help realize btw. I think it all depends on the baby. My sister had a baby who never cried, she fed every few hours, fell asleep in-between, would sleep anywhere etc. A dream. Those are the people who tell you the newborn stage is easy lol Mine on the other hand screamed for hours, sometimes wouldn't fall asleep for hours (not all newborns "sleep all the time" as people want to make you believe) during the day, always had to be carried (but not worn, only in my arms) Even packing for the holidays was a taxing task because I could never put her down. I would still recommend travelling with small babies, we had a lot of great experiences, but I remember a moment when we were about to go visit family that lives far away when we couldn't take it anymore because we NEVER had a break, neither day or night, always had to eat really quickly, or only one person could eat at a time etc. Hearing you talk about travelling with a newborn brought back a lot of stressful memories (screaming in the restaurant, screaming in the car etc.) but also great ones. It was our first big adventure as a family of 3 and I would definitely do it again inspire of all the hurdles. I just find it funny when I hear people say newborns are easy to travel with. Yes, if you have an easy newborn sure:)
surlespasdondine thanks for your comment. I think I’m one of those annoying people who have an “easy baby” and I STILL found it quite stressful, lol. Babies eh!
Oh how this video takes me back. I remember the first holiday we took post baby. The resort would ferry you to your room on a golf cart. Only we had two golf carts - the second loaded up with baby paraphernalia. It was super stressful but it is essential to continue your love of holidays and travel. It truly does get easier.
After hearing you talk about the window shades again I feel like I have to share the old skool way with which I grew up: muslin cloths! Open the carwindow a little bit, put a few centimetres of the top of the cloth outside and close the window. There you have a really easy window shade/tiny curtain! In case you ever forget the windowshade, here is a saver :)
I think greys age probably played a large part in the 'stressful'ness of this situation. Take heart that along with new challenges brings sooooo much more freedom when she's past the baby phase! I'm sure there are many amazing holidays in your future that you will be able to enjoy to the full xxx
This is so helpful!!!! We’re flying to Portugal in the morning, and I’ve picked up a few handy hints from this. Especially the bath seat in the car seat bag! Genius!!!! Thanks for sharing. X
This was so fun to watch even though my baby is 13! I guess it was nostalgic. My only two cents is that we loved the backpack version of the car seat bag because it was so useful to be hands-free and not off-balance. Also, it would be particularly great for a single parent or anyone doing the travel with no extra adults. Also, I really liked having one of those feeding pillows that wraps around your torso. I used it on the plane, in the airport, etc. I was so used to using it at home that it made me feel secure to stay in our routine. This is one of the very helpful messages in the video, keeping a routine (including gear) will reduce your stress. And, over time, you’ll refine your packing list because you’ll have more experience and your baby’s needs will change. We travelled a lot so I quickly learned what I truly needed. My husband went back to work a lot sooner than I did and I chose to go with him on all of his work trips because traveling with the baby felt less stressful than being home alone without my husband there. It was fun to explore new places during the day when he was working and then all being together at night. Lovely memories although I’m conveniently not remembering the stressful parts!
This is such an important piece of content. We are thinking about booking a holiday as first time parents. I’m so glad you did this video because I was definitely nervous & now I know it can be done x
Hold onto the ergo sling for when she gets older and heavier. I guess biggest tip for older baby is to think ahead and pack snacks and toys/entertainment - neither are necessities so easy to forget but they help a lot with antsy kids
Someone told me when my first son was born that travelling (even close by) is so important because you’ll always remember what they were like on a holiday. Eg you will always remember Grey looked a certain way on her first holiday in France. I always remember seeing my son first crawl when we were on a trip to Sydney. Those kinds of things! It has really rung true and helps life not become one big memory blur 😂 So keep going! It’s so hard and every holiday with kids you wonder WHY did we come here?! And then you return with the best memories. X
Pregnant with my second and will be going abroad when this one is 3 months (went away when my son was 10 months so a totally different stage) and found this super helpful! ♥️
I went away earlier in the year with my family which included my sis and her two kids (4 and 2) and she didn’t enjoy it. She said it’s not a holiday for her as like you said at the beginning of the video, you have everything you need at home. At this point in time she has no plans to go away again unless it’s without the kids (which she’d happily do) or she’d rather just stay home 😕 You shared some useful tips - thanks Lily xx
Hi Lily, I recently discovered your channel and I am loving everything! Thank you! Also, I am neither a mom, nor pregnant, but still I love all the baby content. Also, I am saving them to make sure to come back once it is time :)
If you're using the monitor app I would just suggest to turn off the cellular signal and roaming on the phone next to the baby and only leaving on the WiFi. Apart from that it sounds like a great way to both watch over your baby and staying away from your phone 😅
Loved this. We have a 5 year old and a 4.5 month old and we recently went away and I forgot all the shiz you have to take. And now having two is mental! Mind you the 5 year old can push the pushchair lol.
Is this a dumb question..? Can’t you sterilise a baby bottle or dummy with boiling water from the kettle to kill any germs? Obviously give them a good clean before rinsing a few times a boiling water.
dldl I think when she’s older I’ll be more relaxed about it but for now that doesn’t feel like sufficient sterilising for me, it needs the steam. But for some parents it might be! Just gotta do what’s right for you.
Couldn’t agree more with point number 1!!! We went for 7 nights and wish we had booked 10!! We went in June when my baby was 7mo! Love the rest of your tips too; for next time!! Thank you!! X PS I filmed my top 10 tips too in case you’re interested!! Nic xx
The Bonds baby swim suit would be perfect! My little boy has been wearing it since 3 months old and it’s amazing! The same as the one you showed but the zip goes right down to the bottom of the material and completely undoes so no need to put it over their head =) x
They open and test a small amount of formula in certain airports ie bottles. You can bring the premade ones no problem too. Bring water in flask as no spill and stays warm for bottles.
My poor sister traveled with my older niece (just over a year old at the time) a few years ago for Thanksgiving and she tried the bottle trick before the plane takes off to help with ear popping and my niece threw up all over her 🤦🏽♀️...then peed through her diaper and onto my sister’s coat! Plus she was a “lap child” to help with keeping costs down for the trip. I don’t have kids but that’s scarred me for life and i wasn’t even there lol
If I'm going to a developed country thwt has supermarkets and drug stores that I can see on google maps, usually I'll check out their reviews as well... I tend to only take enough nappies and wipes to get us through about 48 hours. It's horrendous having to travel w that many nappies. We always travel w our bugaboo bee pram and most of the time they let us take it on the plane bc they think it's a stroller! There is a women's only taxi app called Sheba and if you have children or babies, they have car seats to fit any age child. It was brilliant! And the women who drove them are lovely too! And if you have your husband w you, he is allowed in :)
I remember that my sister sterilized her bottles simply by washing them first and then filling them with boiling hot water and leaving them for a short while. And she put the tops upside down at the top of the bottle and also filled them with hot water. Hot water works as a sterilizer here and there was no need for any special thing to do it ;)
My advice for taking a toddler away is don't go! Lol. At least go to a very child friendly place. They can walk/run with no heed in listening to you and absolutely no sense of danger
I wouldn’t expect every parent to do the same, I was just asked by a lot of people for my tips, so I’m sharing them. Take and leave whatever works for you.
I can understand that as a new mum you want to be prepared for every possible situation that might arise with your baby and I hope you had a great holiday :) However I feel kind of torn, when on the one hand I see people all over the world protesting for our climate, and then content about basically a whole household flown over to France for two weeks :/
I mean absolutely no disrespect, every mother is doing the best they can, but I just can't behind on all this. It's too much stuff to take, to buy and research. Why not wait to travel until she is older? Anyway, every parent is different and choses what is best for their child.
I understand the concept of skipping, but of the last six videos, five have been baby related or featured baby content. Your audience is entitled to stop watching you as and when your content changes.
Lily Pebbles Hello Lily I’m sorry I just feel like the comment section down here has got too negative ! I didn’t mean my comment to be rude or hurtful in any way ! I apologize if it comes across that way. I’ve been subscriber of your channel for a few years
This is such an important piece of content. We are thinking about booking a holiday as first time parents. I’m so glad you did this video because I was definitely nervous & now I know it can be done x

With a baby you don't go on vacation you go on location.
Loving your content lately :)
Omg these tips are 10/10!!!! Only an experienced mum would know these. I’ve saved this for when I travel next year with my baby. Thanks so much. 👍🏻💞

I still can’t believe you’re a mother 💞
Same
This is such an important piece of content. We are thinking about booking a holiday as first time parents. I’m so glad you did this video because I was definitely nervous & now I know it can be done x
Yes holidays with kids are not about relaxing anymore:) BUT they get more fun as they get older and now I wouldn't change it:)
Look into a Doona stroller. It’s AMAZING for travel! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hold onto the ergo sling for when she gets older and heavier. I guess biggest tip for older baby is to think ahead and pack snacks and toys/entertainment - neither are necessities so easy to forget but they help a lot with antsy kids

You an Anna should make a range of baby clothes. Especially after all of Anna’s mother care years!!!
So many people have a had horrific experiences with Meet and Greets, it's not always amazing, so research beforehand
rocksteacats good to know, thanks. We’ve always had good ones so I didn’t realise x
A very helpful video for mums who are afraid of travelling with small babies! Thank you for your tips
Yeah....late breakfast and a video from you - perfect start to the day
I'm not a mom but these truly look like great tips! More baby related videos please!
Are window shades unusual in Britain? I remember that my brother and I each had one till we were teenagers. In the 90s they even came with designs
I loved the end of the video, the messy hair was so real life
Lov this polkadot top on you🌟

What did you do for baby milk? I.e making bottles with like a prep machine or did you take pre made milk
We took powder formula with and used the kettle in the house x
Oh and those Medela bags are amazing! I brought them as I saw them on your Instagram! So. Good!
The colouring of the video is on point!
Good tips!! Until you’ve actually taken a baby away you never believe how much stuff those little people need💕
Hey Lily. Is there anything you took which you really didn't need? Other than clothes 😊😊 X
We want a day in life with a baby!! We want vlogs to come back in your channel my dear, we need morning and night routine please Lily
Loved this. We have a 5 year old and a 4.5 month old and we recently went away and I forgot all the shiz you have to take. And now having two is mental! Mind you the 5 year old can push the pushchair lol.

I've just started uni in Montpellier for my year abroad, it's such a beautiful city!
Brilliant ending to a fab video
I found this video so interesting and helpful!
Really really interesting and very good tips ! And I did like the intro a lot, very clever and honest (as always). Have a nice Sunday !
Couldn’t agree more with point number 1!!! We went for 7 nights and wish we had booked 10!! We went in June when my baby was 7mo! Love the rest of your tips too; for next time!! Thank you!! X
PS I filmed my top 10 tips too in case you’re interested!! Nic xx
The Bonds baby swim suit would be perfect! My little boy has been wearing it since 3 months old and it’s amazing! The same as the one you showed but the zip goes right down to the bottom of the material and completely undoes so no need to put it over their head =) x
Kat Murdoch oh I’ll try get my friend to bring some back from Australia! Thanks for the heads up x
Omg this sounds exhausting! But great tips x
If you are looking for window shades for your car have a look for over the window ones they cover the whole window and the sun won’t get into her eyes
Rose Fray yes we have this on our car at home
How does it work with formula/made up bottles at airport security? X
They open and test a small amount of formula in certain airports ie bottles. You can bring the premade ones no problem too. Bring water in flask as no spill and stays warm for bottles.
We used the pre made bottles for the flights and they didn’t need to open or check them as they’re sealed
how did you pack the travel cot?
My poor sister traveled with my older niece (just over a year old at the time) a few years ago for Thanksgiving and she tried the bottle trick before the plane takes off to help with ear popping and my niece threw up all over her 🤦🏽♀️...then peed through her diaper and onto my sister’s coat! Plus she was a “lap child” to help with keeping costs down for the trip. I don’t have kids but that’s scarred me for life and i wasn’t even there lol

And if you have your husband w you, he is allowed in :)
I have that sling. I love it
Super interesting, thanks! More baby videos please
We are British expats in Asia so frequently fly for 13 hours with kids to visit family. Not easy at all. And a total pain in the arse really!
Great video thanks Lily

And she put the tops upside down at the top of the bottle and also filled them with hot water. Hot water works as a sterilizer here and there was no need for any special thing to do it ;)
Marta Rapacka Yes that’s how people used to to it for years and years and years...
I think people are more hyper protective over their first baby, Milton can also sterilise baby bottles and you can get it in most European countries
You can also get Milton cold water sterilising tablets that work a treat.
My advice for taking a toddler away is don't go! Lol. At least go to a very child friendly place. They can walk/run with no heed in listening to you and absolutely no sense of danger
I hate to say this but I find this so not relatable. Love you though lily
As in you don’t have a baby or didn’t travel with yours or you do things different?
I have 2 babies sorry I didn’t say
I wouldn’t expect every parent to do the same, I was just asked by a lot of people for my tips, so I’m sharing them. Take and leave whatever works for you.
"I thought travelling with a car seat would be so stressful". They just put it in the hold.
I can understand that as a new mum you want to be prepared for every possible situation that might arise with your baby and I hope you had a great holiday :) However I feel kind of torn, when on the one hand I see people all over the world protesting for our climate, and then content about basically a whole household flown over to France for two weeks :/
I mean absolutely no disrespect, every mother is doing the best they can, but I just can't behind on all this. It's too much stuff to take, to buy and research. Why not wait to travel until she is older? Anyway, every parent is different and choses what is best for their child.
I’ve been watching your channel for many years Lily but I honestly can’t stand this baby videos I can’t relate sorry clocking out
It’s no more than one a month so it’s very easy to just skip the videos that don’t interest you.
Bye, bye Ada x
Erm you can’t stand that she’s talking about her baby? Wow how odd
I understand the concept of skipping, but of the last six videos, five have been baby related or featured baby content. Your audience is entitled to stop watching you as and when your content changes.
Lily Pebbles Hello Lily I’m sorry I just feel like the comment section down here has got too negative ! I didn’t mean my comment to be rude or hurtful in any way ! I apologize if it comes across that way. I’ve been subscriber of your channel for a few years
This is such an important piece of content. We are thinking about booking a holiday as first time parents. I’m so glad you did this video because I was definitely nervous & now I know it can be done x
