Skinty, what about a passport for the baby?

Would one come through in time if you were overdue?

Should do, Shell. If I'm on time it will be nine weeks old when we go and if not then seven or six, so according to the website there should be just enough time as long as we decide a name and get the pictures done asap.

For going on holiday, have you checked where you are staying if they provide baby equipment like a cot etc?

I think they could provide a cot but I thought if we bought a travel one it would be better as we can get Bubba used to it by using it in the day maybe, and it will be handy afterwards when we go to the parents.

Oh and you won't need a travel cot if baby will only be 6-8 weeks at the tome of the wedding, if you plan to co-sleep you won't need anything... If you're in a hotel, they would more than likely supply a cot.. Otherwise, baby would be fine spending a couple of nights in a fully reclined pram / carry cot...

We are planning to co-sleep but not necessarily in the same bed (we're getting a crib that attaches to the bed at home) although if it's a king or queen we could do. We aren;t taking a pram although I may have to buy a moses basket so I don;t think we could use anything reclined?

I thought I'd rather take things so we know what's there. We are staying at this place http://www.villafiorentino.com/ as our friend who is getting married is paying for us to have one of the apartments (nice friend!)

I know they can provide things i just would rather take our own stuff I think.

Hi All, still keeping an eye on how you are all getting on, how exciting about AM!

Anyway just to say if anyone is near me in Leeds there is an event on at the Village in Headingley next weekend http://www.bumpsandbabesfest.co.uk/ its aimed at pregnant ladies and new parent, I haven't seen any advertising for it at all in real life when you would think I am their target market (I found out about it on netmums)

Krystal, the incinerator didn't stay that lovely shiny silver for very long - it's now black in places, presumably it's the smoke and ash left on it.

I've just found the form for the Mum-to-be Essentials Bounty pack that I "misplaced" ages ago.. hurrah! Will get it from Asda and hope they still do the £5 off when you spend £15 voucher, just in time for the next Baby Event

Krystaltips

Yay, well done AM!!!

Skinty, I don't know if a travel cot would count as part of your luggage allowance, I know prams and car seats don't. But do bear in mind most travel cots weigh an absolute ton... A moses would be a lot lighter...
