Going to santorini for a week with 18 month old and looking for top tips on what to take from a first aid/medicine/toiletries point of view. Best anti mosquito stuff for babies? Best bite or sting cream? I know we aren't going to the end of the earth but would like to pack for all eventualities!


Whilst i'm at it - anyone got general travel tips, what makes the flight easier, what meals to cook when we are there given our usual failsafes won't be at our fingertips.


All tips gratefully received, first trip abroad as you can tell!

There was a great post from "buggie" (senior paeds nurse) on this, perhaps last year - worth a search.


I also swear by teeny weeny crap but crucially NEW toys (stocking filler type) and kids' magazines for the journey. Do not run out of snacks, water, tissues, plastic bags, wipes or comedy Superhero plasters. Bring a couple of changes of clothes

For the journey I take twice the number of clothes I think I need because everything spills, leaks more than I anticipate and also put each nappy into a nappy disposal bag (not tied) because it's much easier not to take a whole changing bag to toilets. Plus I tape a nappy cream to a pack of nappy wipes. It would be a good idea to buy a bag size tube of Savlon and Sudocreme in Boots.

    • Sue My point being that if you experience something that could potentially be sorted by a GP, you might feel it necessary to go to A&E, which would be clogged up due to the doctors strike.  Just my opinion, but I don't really see that its necessary to close a surgery for half a day for staff training.  
    • A huge shout-out to Andy! He’s helped us several times now and is an absolute gem. He doesn't just do the easy jobs; he finds solutions to the difficult, non-obvious problems that others might miss. He is very hard working, incredibly friendly, great with pets, and always leaves the place better than he found it. 10/10! 
    • Here to add my voice to those praising Temi. She just painted my dilapidated home office in ED and did a fantastic job in just two days in a much lighter colour, including woodwork, damp blocker and filling holes. She's efficient, on time and I barely heard a peep out of her; she just got on with the job. I recommend her wholeheartedly. 
    • The residents & families of the estate are getting parking fines,  out of the blue , the residents parking system waa changed from Southern to Sippi with cameras put up in the car park and people issued with fines entering the estate for more then 10 minutes , families can no longer pick up or drop off family due to a new 10 minute wait fine. Residents are appealing with Sippi and Southern as there was no letters to consult of a parking change,  new waiting times or fines, delivery drivers are getting fines everyday,  if you get a fine,  appeal it, there is no signage up to say about parking fines or waiting time
