WHAT TO PACK FOR A FLIGHT WITH KIDS:KIDS UNDER(AGES 1-5 YRS)

Travelling with kids can be fussy sometimes. When it comes to kids, it is unpredictable what is coming   next and hence mothers or parents should always be extra cautious while travelling with them. It becomes  so hard to keep them occupied or entertained in a long hours flight.

Here's a list of essential things you must carry during flight with kids:

1)Extra clothes-It is always advisable to carry some extra clothes while travelling with kids .If you are travelling for more than 5-6 hours it is recommended to carry one pair of extra clothes for your kids .They can mess with their clothes with water or food or with the colors with you give them to be occupied.

2)Diapers-If your kid is under five, you must carry extra diapers knowing your kid routine or the time you are travelling for.



3)Wipes-Kids are tend to touch here and there without knowing the amount of dirt that place holds and it causes them sneeze or viral infections. It is always needed to keep their body parts clean and hygiene while travelling and therefore a small pouch of wipes should always be handy.

4)Nose drop(saline spray)-It is known that flight is fully air conditioned and it is too much for a kid. Always carry a nose drop or saline spray with you if in case baby gets blocked nose and unable to breathe or sleep.

5)Hoodie or Jacket: Flight has to maintain a certain temperature inside and it is not comfortable for everyone including kids.


So, always carry an extra blanket or hoodie for kids to make them feel comfortable. Though, many airlines provide you with pillow and blankets but mothers should always be cautious when it comes to her kids.

6)Socks-As I travel with my kids very often, I have observed after I transit I see my kids catching immediate cold and cough and so I discover it because they get their hands and feet cold throughout the flight and that is avoidable with the usage of socks to keep them warm and comfortable.

7)Homemade snacks-Kids can only sit or feel occupied while they eat and it is quite hard to find the kind of food our kids would love while we travel. 


So, it is recommended to always carry some homemade snacks or the snacks your kid would love to munch on.
Download their favorite cartoon or videos that they love to watch.

9)Any allergic medicine-If you are travelling for long hours then it is necessary to carry all the medicine your kid would need in next 24 hours and it needs to be handy. Medicines include eye drops, nose drops, paracetamol, ear pain due to fluctuation, sleeping pills etc.

10)Crayons or drawing book- It is necessary to keep kids occupied while travelling or it would turnout a very horrible experience.


Coloring is a very first choice for kids who love drawing, art and coloring and they enjoy their travel.

11)New Toy-More is less when it comes to kids love for new toys. No matter how much toys they have they would still feel the need. This is a very interesting things to do to surprise them with a new toy in flight and they would be busy in playing with it.

12)Feeding Bottle-If your baby loves to drink with bottle or on bottlefeeding it becomes evident to carry that kit with you.

13)Lollipop-

                                       

It is seen very often that kids experiencing ear pain in flight while taking off and landing and lollipop or chewing(above 8 years) can reduce pain.

14)Extra Napkins or Towels-You can never predict anything when with kids. Things like vomiting or coughing can catch them anytime. It is better to carry some extra clothes or towels with you.

15)Fruits-

                                   

However, some airlines allow dry snacks but not every airline do so .Fruits in that case becomes very convenient option for travelling snack and it is healthy too.

16)Patience-Patience is very necessary while travelling with kids. They are not used to closed or playing while sitting at one place. Get them busy in coloring or exploring different kind of fruits or snacks with you.

Let them explore different kinds of foods or the airline services.

Let them socialize with the strangers and get used to the equipment around them.
