Flights with a child: what to take for the comfort of mom and baby
The idea of vacation can fade as soon asparents will present all the delights of the flight with a small child in their arms. But to give up a deserved vacation only because of fear of difficulties is also not worth it. With the correct organization of travel, the young passenger will not bring you any trouble and even a few hours of flight will pass unnoticed.
Today we will give you some tips on how to entertain and how to feed your child on an airplane. And also give a list of necessary things, which must be taken for the baby on board.
Preparing for a trip
Before collecting luggage and thinking about the potential difficulties of the way, you need to prepare yourself.
Specify in the airline availability of the service of choiceplaces in the cabin. If there is one, be sure to book the best places to fly with the child. They are at the very beginning of the salon. Since there will be no seats for other passengers, the child will be much more comfortable to take off, landing, and the road itself. On domestic flights such a service, most often, is not provided. Therefore, come to the registration early to take these places.
Begin to pack the luggage. All that you do not need directly during the flight, put in a suitcase. But first, be sure to find out the weight of one unit of cargo allowed for transportation. In luggage, all piercing-cutting objects (including manicure accessories), as well as liquids, are handed over. But in hand luggage (a small bag that you take with you to the salon), put the equipment, documents, money and things necessary for caring for the baby. In most cases, carry baby food and liquid. Of course, if they are packaged in a container of 100 milliliters. Other containers are simply confiscated.
If your baby is already quite grown up andtravels in a separate seat, it is calculated and one unit of hand luggage. This greatly facilitates the task of mom. After all, everything you need to take a child on a plane can be divided into two, naturally, within reasonable limits. Your little one can carry a small backpack with your favorite books or toys.

Stock up with dry biscuits or not too juicy fruit, so that your child can have a snack on the way. Food that is kindly provided in airplanes is not always to children's liking.
