Holidaying with a 10 month old...

So DD will be 10 months old in August and we're looking at holiday options. Suddenly our whole usual holiday model of great hotel deal and dinners out every night just won't work. DD sleeps a lot during the day (at least a morning nap of 2 hours and an afternoon nap of approx 1.5 hours) and goes to bed at 7pm.

How do you holiday with a LO?

I'm thinking of looking at a bungalow or villa somewhere (probably in Europe) which would allow us to relax on a sunlounger with a book whilst DD sleeps and have a BBQ in the evening all within baby monitor range of course! This would also allow us to make her little meals and sterilise her stuff in the kitchen.

Anyone have any great recommendations? I'm a bit stumped and don't really know where to begin...

Hi Alimart, The villa option sounds great. Could you perhaps send me the link of the place you stayed. Thank you so much! DebsDebs Edited to remove email address <em>edited by DebsDebs on 03/05/2011</em>

We went to Turkey last September with our dd who was then 11 months, I can highly recommend it. We stayed in Istanbul for 2 days, managed to do some sight seeing while she was in the carrier and also pushed her around in the pram. They were super kid friendly and made everything so easy. We then went and stayed in a villa in a place called Kalkan on the mediterranean, it was lovely! We did exactly what you describe, it had a pool so we relaxed by the pool and in the evenings had bbq's and dinners outside while she slept upstairs. We went with family so hired a 4 bed villa and she had her own room. For what you want a villa is probably the best option. let me know if you need more details, I'm happy to send them to you.
