hi Rupali
sorry for delayed reply whatever sabitha mention is 100% correct..I recently traveld with Rishon while take off there was no prob as Rishon was hungry so he was taking his feed..but landing was difficult & he was not accepting feeding idea clicked my mind & gave my finger to suck on(normally i dont give)..then everything was fine.Carry diapers,wipes,handsanatizer,diaper disposable bag..keep thm handy...have a safe journey :)

Abhishek is fine.Hope all of u r doing good.while flight landing and take off,u can put a small ball cotton but see that the cotton ball is not too small,then it may go off in to ear canal.its a good idea to bottle feed or breastfeed the baby during landing and take off to slightly relieve discomfort caused due to variations in cabin pressure.if the baby uses a pacifier its the best time to use it or if he or she is a thumbsucker its best time to do it.The sucking action will relieve discomfort.if there is too much discomfort a nasal decongesant like benadryl/zyrtec etc helps.but the doctor can only help u with that.for bigger kids the abive twi medicines r over the counter and they can help a lot.But mostly babies r very cranky during landing and take off.
If u r exclusively breastfeeding u wont need any formula etc.depending on time taken for travel take extra clothes and diapers,wipes,diaper cream.a fever/pain medicine and any gas medicine u should take with u.If baby has a favourite toy u can take that.2 to 3 plastic covers,some clothes like a small towel.Take anything that u feel is essential.Things which u r sure to use during the journey keep it on top.Other less essential items in bottom.again also talk to ur airways about any restrictions
happy journey.
