Flying with 20 month old

[meskiier]

My DD and I flew when she was 13 months old and she did fantastic. At the end of the month, my husband and I are taking her to FL so any advice for those of you who have flown recently with your LO would be greatly appreciated. Our flight out is at 5:40am...it was either the most brilliant parenting move ever or the dumbest thing we've done so far.

So far I've gotten a travel Aqua Doodle (as she now loves to color) and downloaded some cartoons and games on my ipad.

My boys have loved stickers and band aids--also suckers are a great distraction and they help if their ears get plugged.

Oh stickers! I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

I just flew across the country and back with LO. I put episodes of Paw Patrol, Bubble Guppies and Super Why on my iPad. I also bought a few new apps - the Sago Mini Road Trip app and the "Peakaboo" apps were a hit.

I also packed a flap book, a couple of tiny toys, a mini magna-doodle and LOTS of snacks. The name of the game was keeping him entertained in 5 minute increments. Good luck!

caer maybe I'm technologically challenged but how did you save the shows on your iPad?

I haven't flown with LO for months so I don't know how different it will be but definitely lots of snacks! Good luck!

I bought them through iTunes and they show up in "Videos." They were $1.99 each but for a total of about $6.00, they were well worth the price for my sanity!

SNACKS

we bought milk once we were past security. LO spent a large chunk of the flight having breakfast.
