good travel toys for baby image
Kim
I am about to get on a plane with my 10 month old, for a 3 hour flight. Does anyone have ANY suggestions about airport and plane with a baby, who is crawling? We are also going from a warm climate(FL) to a COLD climate (NY). Thank you!
Answer
Have him drink a bottle during take off and landing to assist with ear popping.
Buy new toys that he hasn't seen before and keep them in your purse of the plane trip.
Sit in the back of the plane in an aisle seat so you can get up and pace with the baby.
Good Luck!

What are some tips for traveling with an infant?
Mommy C
My husband and I, along with our now 3 month old son (he'll be about 5 months when we do travel), will be flying internationally from germany to the states and back, then from germany to Ireland and back. I know we need our passports, we've already have then... So does anyone have any tips for us? This will be the 1st time he's flown, hence the question. Thanks!!!
Answer
Been there done that...
- Diapers (Airlines might have it but keep some handy)
- Have medication for cough, cold and other general medicines.
- we had consulted the doctor on what needs to be done and any vaccination that needs to be taken when we are in the other country. Name of the medicine/vaccination in that country.
- Extra pair of clothes (2-3 pairs)
- Call the airline and ask them for the first seat. (that has the facility to put your baby into a pram like thing that gets attached to the wall before the seat.) Do this one well in advance as these go fast. To make sure when you reach the airport doubly make sure that they are giving you that seat. When you board the plane and when you reach the airport be the first to be there so that you get the first seat. Even if you call in advance when you reach the airport you might not get the seat and hence you have reach the airport well in advance.
- for in-flight - couple of small toys to keep the baby busy and MOST importantly pacifiers (specially while take off and landing as the pressure changes and the baby's ear get blocked and the baby does not know what to do, in this case pacifiers help.)
- Note that you might carry milk/milkbottle (as you might want to carry the brand that you are using like similac) etc but dispose of the milk when you reach the other country as they might fine you for bringing that into the other country.
It has been a few years and hence remember on this.
