| In
airplane: Families traveling with babies are
often seated in the front row. Thereīs more
room to move and small babies can sleep in special baby
bassinets that are attached to the wall before the
seats. Remember to request a bassinet before flight.
Babies and small
children under 2 years donīt have seats of their own
in the airplane so theyīll have small safety belts
that are attached to their parentsī seat belts
during takeoff and landing. If your baby is on a
bottle or breastfeeding give them the bottle or the
breast for takeoff and landing. It may help balance
the air pressure in baby's ears, but usually babies
donīt seem to mind takeoffs or landings. Lucky
babies!
Itīs
not fun to change diapers at airplane but itīs
possible. If itīs not necessary to use running water
you can change diapers on your lap instead of going to
the toilet - itīll be more comfortable.
What to
take in the plane with you:
Dress the baby in warm and comfortable clothes that
are easy to take off if it becomes too warm. Remember
to take diapers, diaper changing matt, warm socks,
clothes to change if necessary and maybe some toys
that will calm your baby down. Donīt take too much,
thoug. Warm covers and pillows are usually found in
the airplane.
Have a nice flight
with your baby!
