@Sahar02

SOOOO glad I have someone to freak out with. Our first flight is 14hrs and a 6 hr transit. We are lucky to be traveling with a lot of family inshAllah, so that should make things easier. I’m hoping she will sleep on the plane. I don’t think we’ll get a hotel. Are you taking her stroller? I’ve been told to keep it for Pak anyway, so I will take it along and have it at the airport.
I think we’ll load up some videos on the iPad and take that along. I assume Dora will be available on the plane, but just in case. Also I think someone on here recommedned one new toy per hour, so we’ll may pick up a few funky things from the dollar store. And also take her coloring supplies. Maybe even a tub or two of Playdoh. Ours is overnight too, so hopefully most of it she’ll sleep through.
I was also thinking cuz of tummy upset I should take more than she would normally need for two weeks, cuz of more frequent changes. We don’t normally use wipes, but that’s a good point, I’ll take some and extra rash cream. But will they drink the Engagrow? I was thinking of taking shelf-stable milk from here. Like you can get the Horizon milk packs and stuff. And it doesn’t need refridgeration. I also like the idea of using milk cartons so I don’t have to worry about washing her cups and stuff and making sure they’re sterile enough. I might start giving it to her once a day or so, to get her used to it. Does this make sense?
About the taking stuff on the plane, what can we take with us on the plane, in terms of food/drink? InshAllah.

since the husband is going too,so I consider that a big help.
I am planning on taking her light weight umbrella stroller.I have ‘heard’ that this airline lets you have the stroller during transit,unlike PIA which did not and the stroller was returned at the time of baggage claim at the final destination.
I think this is the right time to bribe the husband to get me the Ipad…muahhahahah…I am also assuming Dora and Mickey mouse will be available on the plane.I asked my sister who just got back from her trip,she said she did not check the cartoon selection.Makes sense…!!
Yes please do pack some rash cream and as Ira said her infant tylenol/motrin etc.
Wipes are a good thing to carry.they are so multi purpose for long trips.
Regarding milk…I am not sure how she will like the taste of Enfagrow after she has been on regular milk,but I am not too keen on giving her fresh milk there.I still need to figure this one out.How does Nido taste…???..I have never tasted it.I was thinking of carrying the tetra packs with me but I am not sure if our luggae will allow that.If it does,I am for sure taking them.I am actually looking at this as an opportunity to maybe try to take her off the bottle.She is just fond of her bedtime bottle feed and that is an issue.If yu want to switch your daughter to those cartons.maybe try a few weeks before traveling and see how she likes it and how her tummy behaves with it.Although at this age they usually do well with different food items but better be safe than sorry,especially when you are traveling.

I traveled from JFK NY last year and they let you carry baby food items etc (this is my experience,might differ from others’).I am thinking of taking lil bit of her favorite food items onboard to avoid plane food.Plane food has made me sick so I want to avoid it.

Another question…if I ask for it can I get fresh whole milk on the plane…??Just curious and wondering if on our way there,it should be suitable…??
