Taking toddler to New York- jet lag

[showersandflowers]

Any tips on helping 2.5 year old with Uk to New York jet lag? We take off at 10am and land at 12.55pm USA time, when it'll be about her bedtime biologically. Hopefully she'll sleep a few hours on the plane and give us a few extra hours to get her onto USA schedule.

Any other tips?

We spend two hours 10pm - midnight in the immigration queue before we even got to NY so factor that in too!

We just tried to get on a "normal" schedule asap but DS2 was wrecked the first proper night and we had to go back to the hotel.

In the days leading up to your trip, gradually adjust her sleep by putting her to bed and waking her up later.
During the flight, keep her well hydrated.
Once you’ve arrived, take her outside for a run around and some daylight.
