Instructions
Step 1
During the flight, children of all ages face the same challenges as adults. The main discomfort is the take-off and landing of the ship: many children begin to stuff their ears strongly, as a result of which they can scream and cry loudly. This feature of the flight cannot be avoided in any way, but you can easily alleviate the condition of the children. The best option is to keep them busy with food. If the baby is very young, give him a breast or a bottle. Give the older children lollipops or candy on a stick. Sucking motions will avoid ear popping and young passengers will have little or no discomfort. A handkerchief scented with a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil will also help.
Step 2
Be prepared that there may be difficulties with babies. For example, a toddler may refuse to eat or drink. In this case, experts recommend using vasoconstrictor drops before takeoff / landing. A regular nipple is also a great alternative.
Step 3
If you are flying with a very small child, please bring all the necessary hygiene items on the plane. In this case, diapers are required (the quantity varies depending on the duration of the flight), disinfecting wet wipes, paper handkerchiefs, waterproof and ordinary diapers. This set will allow you to easily carry out the necessary manipulations in a special toilet of the aircraft. If your baby is feeding on artificial formula, be sure to take it on board with you. Baby food can be carried in any required quantity. Another option: dilute the dry mixture right on board by asking the personnel for warm water. Also take on board a warm cap that covers the ears, socks / booties, a sweater so that the child does not catch a cold due to a possible draft from the window. One or two rattles will be enough for an infant's entertainment.
Step 4
A different set of carry-on luggage is required if your baby is already more active (from 9-10 months). In addition to warm clothes, special food and diapers, these children need numerous toys. Their choice depends on the preferences of the child. It can be bright books, soft puzzles, plasticine, cartoons, coloring books, etc. It is great if you have several different ideas on how to entertain your child on board.
Step 5
Even older children often prefer to entertain themselves. However, in this case, you need to carefully prepare for the flight. Be sure to bring your change of underwear and clothes on the plane and a minimum of medication (for example, for abdominal pain and motion sickness). Also prepare a "program" in advance: download interesting games / films / cartoons to your tablet or computer, pick up an interesting book and board game. This way you can avoid a boring flight and have a great time on the plane with your child.
