FLYING WITH SMALL CHILDREN
- Carry favorite reading and coloring books and crayons.
- A portable DVD player or tablet with favorite movies will help pass the time pleasantly.
- Have your kids use the airport toilets before boarding the aircraft. Using aircraft toilets in flight, with small kids can be challenging.
- Have wipes readily available throughout your flight for quick wipe-ups.
- Choose seats with armrests that can be raised so your child can lie down on the seat and rest their head on your lap and sleep.
- Have favorite biscuits and snacks readily available for your kids to eat and drink. Don't count on the airlines satisfying your kids in-flight food and drink needs.
- If you have a flight attendant heat up a baby bottle, check the temperature of the liquid before giving it to baby to drink.
- Give infants the bottle to drink for relief of ear pressure. For bigger kids, have them eat something to keep them swallowing when they show signs of ear pressure discomfort. Be careful of your child flying with a cold. It's more difficult to clear the eardrums when congested and eardrum damage could result if the ears are not "popped" when under pressure.
- Use a plastic bag for garbage and keep your child's area clean. Use fragranced bags to dispose of used diapers.
- Carry a change of clothes for your child and yourself. You never know when you may need them.
