formula (if bottle feeding), some way to sterilise the bottles and enough nappies to do you till you find a shop that sells some locally.
Junior calpol/ibuprofen for when the little one inevitably gets ill (usually the moment you step off the plane) or if you want to do a Kate and Gerry
Factor 5million infant sun block
The ability to accept you’ll have a crappy holiday.
Anything else I remember I’ll add later!!

Some useful and not useful advice in this thread.
We took our 6 month old to Berlin in December last year, and we're taking him to France (at 11 months) in a few weeks.
requires a wee bit more planning, but isnt impossible.
1) Bottles and steralization kit if bottle fed - we didnt need this as he is breastfed.
2) Are they eating solid foods yet? We got him used to Lidl baby food before we left, which we could get in Germany so there wasnt any drastic changes to diet
3) As above, enough nappies to get you to a local shop
4) How do you usually carry them around, carrier, pram etc? Look up how baby friendly your destinations are, Berlin was easy enough with a Pram, but we read that Paris would be a nightmare.
5) Check what you can take with you on the plane - Ryanair for instance will let you take two baby equimpent with an infant ticket for free (ie, car seat and pram)
6) Prepare to take lots of breaks. I cant speak for your baby, but ours could only do so much before wanting food/nap. It worked out quite good as it gave lots of time for resting in between sightseeing
It was totally worth the extra planning etc, we got some amazing memories, and the baby wasnt too fussed about the plane.
