I have planned my trip to Europe for a long time now. I am going to spend 29 hours on the plane with my baby and I think it will be quite difficult. My husband is not going to travel with us this time so I will have to look after my ten months old by myself. Obviously I have done a lot of research how to travel with a baby. The trip will prove how easy or how difficult it is to be on the plane with a baby.
This is my first plane trip with my baby so I have to focus on being calm and concentrated all the time. I really hope my baby will be sleeping majority of the trip so that I could also have some rest. The more we both sleep the easier it will be to survive those long hours on the plane. I heard from my friends who travel a lot with their infants that it is good to be calm before and during the trip as the baby can sense our emotions and reflect them in his behavior.
The best option for me is to have my baby in baby carrier. I will have stopover in Singapore and in Amsterdam so having my little one in carrier will be the safest and the easiest solution. At least I will be able to stop all old grannies trying to touch my little one with their dirty hands. They always do that in shops without realizing that a mother doesn't necessary like her baby to be touched, even if this is really cute baby.
Make sure you keep an eye on your kid all the time. It is easy to loose sight of your little one and get separated from him. Airlines don't give money back for tickets if you miss a plane, no matter how important the reason is. It is the most important rule of traveling, always hold your baby's hand or observe him closely. One of my jobs was at the airport. I used to observe desperate parents that couldn't find their precious kids. Little kids were usually playing unaware in one of airport shops.
Who said it is easy to travel with baby. The more opinions I hear the more careful I am to prepare our trip carefully. i don't want to be one of those parents that have to pay for expensive alcohol just because the baby decided to play with a bottle. I will be careful and I am sure I will be able to count on airline staff whenever necessary. From my experience I know that both airport staff and stewardesses are very friendly. I am sure it won't be that bad.
