A small child on the plane: advice from experienced parents

But this does not mean that you will have to give up rest at sea or visit relatives abroad until the baby grows up. If you take into account the main difficulties of the flight and take timely measures, the journey will not bring any trouble.
Getting ready morally
Everyone knows that planes are afraid evensome adults, although this type of transport is considered the safest. And what can we say about the young children who first find themselves in unfamiliar conditions, and it is completely unknown how they will transfer them. Therefore, in advance prepare the kid for a new event.
Be sure to tell the children about the aircraft and describe in detail the upcoming flight
Play with it in something like that, then the trip itself will be perceived by the kid as a fun game, not an awful test
It is necessary to warn the child in advance about the checks before registration so that he is not afraid of the procedure and the unknown person.
How to fly with young children?
To ensure that everything went well, you need to try to provide all the options for the development of events during the flight.
Food. Since the size of hand luggage is strictly limited, take only your child's favorite treats. This can be a nourishing baby food simple cooking (for babies), or boiled house pasta in a special container. You can also take juices, water or milk (in bottles of 100 ml) and dry biscuits. Yogurt is better not to take or drink them in the first place, since they can quickly deteriorate.
Take a few sets of cutlery, preferably plastic. Metal forks will be taken out at customs as a stabbing object.
Several sets of clothes, too, will not hurt. After all, no one is immune from the fact that the baby sweats, spills something on itself or simply gets dirty.
For children under one year, be sure to grab diapers, wet napkins and a garbage bag, where you will collect all unnecessary.
Do not forget about the documents. They should be stored in a special purse on the belt, so that when checking, do not stir up all hand luggage. We definitely take passports, tickets and birth certificates. In some cases, you may also need permission to transport infants from one of the parents.
With older children, you need to discuss in advance the questions that can be asked at the border. The kid will have to tell him his name, how old he is and with whom he flies.
And now about entertainment
The most terrible problem is not even the mosta long flight for both the child and parents becomes boredom. To your baby did not arrange a spectacular tantrum and did not disturb the other passengers, in advance, think about how you will entertain the child. The one who flew with young children knows how important this is.
A small DVD player. To use such a gadget on board is not forbidden, and you and other passengers will receive several hours of peace thanks to your favorite cartoons.
Secretly stock up on new toys. The kid should see them only on the plane, and preferably one at a time. So they do not get bored too fast. Advice from experienced parents: buy inexpensive (that was not a pity to lose or break) and not musical. Trills of the children's mobile will very quickly lead the people out of balance.
Books and coloring books for children in 2-3 years will be an excellent occupation for the duration of the flight.
If the journey includes a dream, take from the house the toy with which the baby usually falls asleep.
It is important for parents to remember that the other passengers are not at all to blame for the fact that you are flying with a child. Therefore, and entertain your child will have you just to be loyal to others.
To travel with your child left only pleasant emotions, pick a suitable hotel in advance.
