Flying.... any advice to help/avoid poorly ears

[backintraining]

Hi,

We are going on holiday to Turkey in a couple of weeks with 15mo DS. Obviously the best thing to do to avoid popping ears on take off is suck something.... unfortunately he doesn't have a dummy (never wanted one), or suck his thumb. He still has milk from a bottle but it's a mid-morning/lunchtime flight so won't entertain it! Any tips/advice or shall I just take Calpol!!

Thanks.

I took my two on a flight and I worried beforehand also, but when it came to it they didn't bother at all. !
So you never know, it might not affect him.
Take the Calpol just in case

Thanks Choconellie!
