With all the late nights, short naps and severe fatigue in the early days as a new mum dealing with a newborn, days merged in to nights and nights in to days so I was constantly confused/forgetting when I’d fed last, how much milk I’d given and how long he’d slept for!
Then I was introduced to the Baby Connect app and my life changed!
With just a few days to go till we set off for our second holiday with Arjun, I thought I’d share some of our in flight tips when dealing with a baby!
Use sound reducing headphones on your baby for take off and landing – we use our Bose ones.
Give baby Calpol half hour before the flight to help manage ear popping pain.
Feed baby a bottle of milk on take off and landing – the sucking motion helps un-pop their ears.
Take spare food just incase you don’t get early check in – it makes the situation a whole lot easier to deal with when you’re tired from a flight! Of course this depends on the time of your arrival.
Take a blanket that smells like home – the comforting smell of home helps baby fall asleep easier.
Take a surprise toy so they are entertained.
Download some of their favourite shows on to your phone/iPad so they can watch a little during the flight.
Keep them in comfy clothes – we always stick to baby grows for flights.
Take extra milk with you just incase!
These things worked wonders on our first holiday with Arjun – here’s to hoping they work this time too!
Let me know if you have any others?
