OT Plz reply OFFlist Help w toddler's first flight

[Guest guest]

Diane,

 

         I have had experience to fly with not just 1 but 2 personnels! just

have the sippi cup that he likes the best, his favourite story books and

particular blanky or 1-2 toys. that will help him. especially sippi cup helps

when flight is taking off as when he sucks on the sippi cup the diffnce in air

pressure wont cause his ears pop and wont be painful. it sounds alot but just

put it in the diaper bag. oh yeah how can I forget his favourite snacks in the

ll ziplock bag will be great. there should be no problems.

 

hope this helps

take care

Nirali

In a couple months, my little nephew will be taking his first flight.

He'll be 1 month short of 2 yrs old. My sister is worried about how

to keep him comfortable on the 2 hr flight. Anyone here w experience

flying w small personnel? Any advice would be appreciated. Please

reply OFFlist.

 

Thanks,

Diane

my daughter started making international trips as soon as approved by

our pediatrician. when she was 2 we talked about planes and i showed

her the airports in our area and talked it up. we also took a lot of

road trips so sitting in a car was nothing new and this helped

prepare her to sit for great lengths of time.

 

a must for us is the portable dvd player, if hubby is traveling we

just use the laptop and she can play computer games or watch her

favorite show. crayons and an activity book. she was never into the

blankey or pacifier but taking a teddy/ baby was good. she took care

of him which helped out a great deal in keeping her occupied. also

snacks - raisins, crackers and chocolate soy boxes of milk.

 

i think kids are great travelling when they are prepared. schedule

your day so you have plenty of time. prepack and repack to avoid

extra stuff that you don't need on the plane. be calm. a calm parent

or aunt is a calm child.

 

happy and safe travels - it will be fine!

Hello,

 

I have flown with my two sons at various times. In addition to what

Nirali said, if you can buy a few toys that they haven't seen before

so it will be a surprise on the plane. Oor if you do not want to buy

more stuff, put some of their toys away preceeding the trip...it

will feel like a new toy to your toddler.

 

Good luck.

Thanks Nirali, good tips. There will be 4 of us to help carry stuff &

entertain/contain him - he'll probably be fine and we'll all need

large cold drinks lol.

 

Peace,

Diane
