Traveling to Maine

[hollyw23]

We are taking our 8 and a half month old to Maine via Logan airport in Boston.
We are traveling with British Airways, they allow no restrictions with milk/food but water has to be contained in his milk bottles. Does anyone know what we should do regarding food? Should we buy pouches of food like Ella’s Kitchen or should we buy Jarred foods?
Any advice for traveling would be appreciated.

They have a section on family travel on their web site and that includes info on food for babies. Bring your own is probably best. I know they can provide hot water to mix into food but it’s not steralised. The other main tip is to be careful about water and pre prepared milk volumes you have in hand luggage. Not all airports have the same rules.

I actually flew today and saw a woman trying to get down the stairs of the plane with a hand held baby and a huge piece of hand luggage and a huge baby bag! Not sure how it measured up for cabin luggage. She didn’t get help from the older woman who was with her and the staff helped her down the steps in the end by taking the baby as she nearly dropped everything mid way! Don’t overload yourselves. Your baby is like an extra piece of luggage, except that they are precious. You don’t need vast amounts of hand luggage but you need free hands! Pare it down to essentials and take hold luggage. BA don’t charge for hold luggage long haul, so use it.

We are planning on taking our own food for the trip but it doesn’t really say what kind of food you can take, I’m presuming it’s just any? Should we just buy the jarred cow and hate/Heinz meals?
Ask there is going to be 3 of us to help eachother with the baby and luggage so we will have many hands thankfully we are also able to take the pushchair to the aircraft door too so that’s handy.

It's a short flight, just do what suits you. If you are flying to Oz then weight and volume might be more of a consideration, but not for Boston.

All sorts of packaged baby food - pouches, jars, those ones that look like mini micromeals in plastic tubs - are fine, so just take what suits you and baby best.

Perfect thank you all so much!
