Take some bottled water on the plane so you don't have to
keep waiting if you're thirsty. You will all dehydrate so
its important to keep up the water. Ask the airline for
the "Bulk head seats" so you have more room at your feet,
and also have the bassinet seat. Order baby meal with the
airline and vego meal with the airline at least 72 hours
before you fly. Make sure you call the airline before you
leave for the airport to check it's on time - if there is a
delay you can stay home longer, rather than pace the floor
at the airport. Bring baby some favourite food on the plane
in case he/she doesn't like the airline food. Bring some
new books, toys, and take them out slowly one at a time
throughout the flight so thers's a surprize element there.
In Spain make sure you always bring baby a drink wherever
you go. Take sunscreen and baby swim protecter suit so
he/she doesn't get sun burnt. Enjoy your travels!!!
If your baby is still breastfeeding it is a good idea to
feed on take off and landing as this will equalise pressure
in the ears. If ears don't pop ask the flight attendant to
get some boiling water and soak some cotton buds in it and
place in the bottom of a plastic cup, then place cup over
ear and form a seal. The steam should help ears to "pop".
Happy travels.
