tips to handle baby on a long haul flight

hi, hi, hi

im no pro, but would like 2share few tips -handling baby on a long haul flight. yerp, we went to UK last and that was like a "wow, we meet again london and scotland aftr 3years, with my baby this time.how time flies!"..how was london&scotland?will make my blog lenghty n told ya bout the trip in the next entry. now lets go for the tips!=) as i said, im no pro,please help if you have additional advices or tips =)

1) try to avoid a super duper long haul flight like more than 3 hrs. for us, actually flight to Heathrow for 12hrs, then to aberdeen around 1hr.so total 13hrs.but we stopped over in dubai,so we took 6+6+1 hours flight. phew!

2) make sure (as usual) baby foods, breastmilks or formula milk, plain water are in the baby bag all the time. yes in flight they can served u with the milk and plain water,this one is in case baby lapar kat terminal ke kan. for me i didnt bring much EBM this time just bg supply on demand je.bwk EBM just few je.maleh.haha.

3) ok, during landing and take off try breastfeed baby or let baby chew something or give baby drinks ke, it'd help to relive baby's ear pressure during take-off and landing and for Azriff this time i didnt brest feed him, its either this is his 2nd time in flight experience or because of the pilot was smart enough in making smooth landing and take off,which the pressure gradually chaged during take off and landing,not changed drastically which can course worse ear pressure's effect.auch!


4) hug&play with ur baby during take off and landing.calm him down if he cries.

 

5) yes, just bear with the 10kgs baby and pagku him sepanjang dia tidur.zzzzz.kebas tangan ok!few ppl asked me y i didnt take extra seat. i) because its gonna be normal price like my tix, membaziq! haha. ii) because Azriff still cant seat properly, nanti takut effect backbone dia, he still needs car seat bile naik kereta, tak boleh just pakai seat belt je.the possibility for him utk gelincir turun is tooo high!hehe. iii) actually we thought he still can sleeps in the bassinet.but obviously NO!he's longer than bassinet.so how!haha.

6)     makan time!

7) let him play on the floor, most babies dont like to be carried all the time, they need time for themselves, they want to play with their toys or something.just let em free for a while. but be careful la kan, jgn pulak biar je baby lepas terus dlm flight,silap2 sampai kt kokpit, terkejut pilot.hahhaa.

8) ok, so after few minutes playing on the floor, he bored already, now he wants to go panjat2 and play with daddy.obviously nak main ape yg daddy pakai kt telinga tu (earphone)

9) ok,he wanted to play with the remote.its his new toy for now!

10) ok,nak tgk movie pulak!

11) ok,makannnnnnngggg lagi! yes azriff eats a lotttttt.no wonder more than 10kgs now!

12) ok nak maen dkt bawah! biar aje!

13) so, we are enjoying our in flight dinner and azriff's playing with his toys joyously!

14) ok, seat belt what? thish ish mys toyyysssshhhh!

hope tips above will help u guys a bit la kan=) for babies yg menanigs je in flight, i seriously do not know what to do since Azriff dia auper duper happy if berjalan, if meragam pon a little bit, not much.nangis sikit2 sbab lapar or nak tukar toys or to change environment dia nak maen. tu je la. Alhamdulillah. if got situations like baby nangis all the time, maybe because baby still tka biase with new environment,take time for baby to adapt with new situation, kene try slowly and cuba bace ayat kursi, insyaAllah will be ok=)

till then, taaaaa.
