I didn't use sunscreen as it seemed to be a 6 months + thing, but I didn't really investigate and maybe should have as Gus looks like he's been to a solarium, oops. Going away was all much less of a drama than I thought, and having parents and in-laws meant lots of lovely breaks for me! <br />We just used our pop-up beach shelter, and kept a muslin over him in the pram. And at night the port-a-cot we used (mother-in-law bought one for the beach house) had a mosquito net cover which was essential, but you can just use a big piece of tulle or something draped over whatever Saskia normally sleeps in. <br />A friend had this cool little pop up tent for her baby when she travels - looks much smaller and probably cheaper than a port-a-cot, but probably no use once baby can crawl and realises they're stuck in a tent!Clairsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18325228052380001322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577195042578855435.post-25497826637029230012012-01-15T22:28:14.337+11:002012-01-15T22:28:14.337+11:00Hi sweetie, have been trying to comment on your bl...Hi sweetie, have been trying to comment on your blog for the past few days but blogger has been playing up. I so love reading your posts as everything you write about reflects our life with Sophie in some way. Getting out and about has slowly become easier here too and I didn't want my husband to go back to work after his holidays either. The trip away you have planned sounds perfect, lazy days relaxing with your bub will be bliss. My only beach tip is shade and plenty of it!

I recently stumbled across your blog via Che and Fidel which had a reference to a baby being born called Saskia Rose, and Soph had told me a wee while back that you had welcomed a lovely baby girl by the same name. Congratulations! She is so very sweet. We also welcomed a darling daughter in May 2011, Felicity Rose, and it's wonderful, no? My heart expands more every day. As for the sunscreen question, we have used Soleo Organic Sunscreen on Miss Fliss's very fair skin (note it is a little expensive and says to seek doctor's advice before using under 6 months - we used from 4 months). I'd be interested to see the recommendations for repellent as we haven't used one yet. We also use a Phil and Ted's travel cot when we go away as it packs away quite small (handy for our little car) and mozzie-proof, and was brilliant for a trip we took to Japan in November (ooooh, the amount of extra stuff you have to take when travelling with a babe). Anyway, I'm sure you are treasuring every moment of motherhood. I am back at work on Tuesday and I am sitting here thinking how unfair it is that time seems to have gone by so quickly since Felicity's birth!kimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12936997983802552077noreply@blogger.com
