Having a baby is an exciting time, but what happens when you have a holiday planned for not long after the baby is born? Is going on holiday with a newborn really doable?

Going on holiday with a newborn is doable, but you need to ensure you have everything you need! Newborns do require a lot of care and attention so it may not be the best idea to go away with them until they are a little bit older. You will need to pack a lot and it may not seem worth it in the long run.

You will also need to think about when you are due and when the holiday is booked for. Remeber, you can go up to 2 weeks over your due date. You also never know what complications there may be which may mean you need to stay in hospital for some time after the birth.
