The feeding tips during landing and take-off. If she uses a pacifier, I have heard that helps during flight with the ears. Good Luck- you are brave!

Definitely the feeding during take off and landing! It really helps with her ears. If you use formula make sure and bring plenty extra, my daughter tends to take twice the amount of bottles during traveling. She also eats Yummies now, so I had those handy. Other then that just try and keep your patience in check...it`s going to be a long day. My daughter`s 9 months old and we`ve flown with her many times, it gets harder each trip.

I think feeding during take off and landing is the main thing. just be extra prepared to entertain you know. I flew with mine at 3 months..she slept and then again at 4 months..slept again. A 9 month old is a little more busier. GOOD LUCK

You should def feed her during take off. Landing, well that can be based on if she is awake, smooth or bumpy landing etc. Also, if you can, fly during one of her usual sleep times, either during nap or at night. Also, if you can, try to get her, her own seat and bring her carseat. Another great tip that i learned was to bring a new toy for each flight. It will hold their attention longer than an old toy. Make sure you have her fav blanket and other small comfort items. Also bring snacks. Graham Crakers are great b/c htey are hard to choke on and don`t make noise when they are eating them. When i traveled with my son i also had our little stroller with us so that i could wheel him to the gate and away. Another great travel tip for once you are there. Bring clear packing tape roll with you in your suitcase. When you get to your destination, you can use the packing tape to baby proof anywhere. We use it to cover outlets, tape down the hotel phone, and secure other loose items. Good Luck and have a safe flight.

I know that I should try and feed her during acceleration and deceleration...but other than that, I`m clueless~

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
