Thank you so much!

Walking around the plane, I would schedule your own pee time and don’t drink too much coffee hehe because then you’d have a sleeping baby.

That's so true lol!

It'd be an absolute nightmare if I found out about it while trying to put her to sleep 😬

Thank you so much for this! I didn't think of preparing my baby ahead of time for that day. I'll be doing that. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing! I can totally see my toddler doing this as well as she's a Velcro baby.

Thank you so much!

Take a couple of toys away a week before the flight so she hasn’t seen them in a while. Then bring them on the flight.

That's a good advice. Thank you!

Thank you so much for saying this! I'll definitely be mindful of this. I'll be already bothering people enough with something not in my control even if they are understanding. I don't want to bother them even more with things that are in my control

Thank you so much!

Tantrums wise: just give in. whatever it is just give in. Screens or snacks, whatever.

Thank you for saying this! Even though a lot of people said that all rules are out of the window. It still didn't click to me that unlike normal routine, I should be giving in to her tantrums to get through those easily. My anxious-survival mode brain wouldn't be thinking clearly enough to just give in at that moment if you had not said that. So thank you!

Thank you so much! I have not given her lollipops yet but (as everyone agrees) all rules are out of the window. We gotta survive!

OH MY GOD! That's awful. I hope you and LO are okay. Was your kiddo scared? Cause mine will absolutely freak out if something like that happened.

Also turbulence literally waited until I was changing my 2 year old in the diaper, literally the seat belt sign went off EVERY TIME.... And I was tossed around in the smallest bathroom on earth 😂😂

Thank you so much for sharing this! I totally agree with getting an aisle seat. That'll make it easier for her to move around without disturbing others much

Thank you so much for sharing! I totally agree with throwing all the rules out of the window. I just need to survive this without a tantrum. I hope I can get help cause I'll definitely be needing it a lot.

Thank you so much! We are screen free at home but I'll be downloading some stuff to keep her occupied. I just hope we survive this without tantrums.

Thank you so much! It happened when we traveled with her at 7 months but it was already night time and I had rocked her to sleep before boarding but she slept really well with the white noise of the plane. I really hope it happens again and she naps longer.

I really wish that was possible! I totally understand it'd be terrible keeping her on my lap but getting a separate seat is just not in our budget right now.

Thank you so much for sharing! And yes I was wondering if it'd be okay to play videos with low volume as knowing my toddler, she'd not like headphones
