- What a breeze!! 3 hrs !! Sorry I didn`t mean to pop your anxious bubble..
-
- I have made 2 VERY long plane trips, the first was with my son at 15 mths to ENGLAND
- that's a 9 hour flight -luckily it was a night flight and the little angel slept the
- whole way..
-
- Coming back wasn`t as easy, but a new and busy toy (that he`d never seen before)
- helped alot. As he no longer had a binky (our word for pacifier) by then we played
- "Let's see who can make the biggest lion roar face and frog noises (that's for the
- gulping and swallowing bit)" It was HYSTERICALLY funny and seemed to amuse those around
- us too (some even joined in!!) and worked wonders with the ears keeping them popped.
-
- The second trip was the saem one with my son (now 3 yrs old) and my daughter at 10 mths
- old - She still had teh binky an dutiffuly sucked it taking off and landing and had no
- problems, but what the heck we played the Lion roar and frog noises game anyway as we
- all enjoyed it so much!! The second trip was better as far as entertainment as Matt
- kept Melanie entertained with various faces and stuff!!
-
- I should hope that the 3 hr flight shouldn't be too challenging - have a new toy hidden for
- him and some different finger snacks too... Good luck
-
- - Often there is also a doting Grandma or parent nearby who will oogle and gaze and keep
- the baby enterained for you too!!
