ive booked a holiday for next year where my son will be 10 months.
im a little nervous about flying and whether he’ll be settled on the flight, main reason being, he sleeps pretty great in the car seat / pram / cot however he isn’t great at sleeping in arms unless he’s super super tired. The flights are 4 hours and the one home is a night flight leaving at 10.30pm, so I’m worried his whole night sleep will be disturbed and we’ll struggle to settle him. Looking for any tips on what to bring when flying particularly for a 10 month old baby?
I have a load of other questions on general travel as well, I’d love to hear people’s advice / experiences:
- can we bring a prep machine within luggage? I assume so but not fully sure
- im planning to take a collapsible pram straight onto the flight (to then store overhead) , is this allowed and if not then do people usually opt for carriers?
- is there anything I can bring that turns into a semi cot on the flight, I’ve seen this a couple of times on Instagram but it only seems to be people with front row seats that have it against the wall
- Any recommendations on things to entertain him would be great, hoping he will sleep most of the way back but for the way there I imagine he will be awake for a good few hours!
