This will be our first trip with a baby (15 months old) but to make matters more interesting it will be an international flight and she is also under the weather. I guess this is what you have to be ready for as a parent.
We've heard of different parent techniques to help a baby have a good flight that included NyQuil. We decided it's not for us.
Here's our plan of attack:
- Make sure that she is good to fly, so we'll be taking her to the doctors.
- Since our flight is late at night we will keep her up and try not to let her nap.
- Bring as many of her favorite food as TSA travel approved.
- Preorder her plane meals.
- Download some kids app on the iPad.
I'll let you know how it goes.
