Last time we went on holiday it was to Cornwall when Isabella was only 11 weeks old - still sleeping in her moses basket, having a couple of bottles a day and breastfeeding the rest of the time, was easily entertained....generally pretty low maintenance. Nowadays it's a completely different story - she needs entertaining constantly, eats three meals a day, still has a couple of bottles and sleeps in a cot. Generally making going on holiday much more of a military operation, than a casual packing experience like last time.
