Maybe the tip seems silly, but it is real golden, because it helps baby to feel matured. He’ll thinks that he got into the aircraft on his own will, and it’s not the parents decision to bring him there, without him permission. It is a very important psychological moment that will greatly help babies and their parents feel safer and travel more calmly.

  1. CHECK YOUR CHILD'S HEALTH BEFORE THE FLIGHT. Good health will guarantee you a quiet flight. If the child's ears will be not healthy, or he will have a runny nose, it can be the reason why a baby starts to cry or scream on taking off or landing. However, if there is no possibility for you to check the baby health or to heal him, make sure that you have essential medicines to improve well-being. If it's tooth germination time give the baby doctor prescribed medication for pain relief before the flight.
  2. CORRECTLY PUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TOGETHER. It’s the first need things, just like baby’s: documents, food, drink, diapers, wet wipes, bottles, snacks, replacement clothes, wrap, medicaments (if necessary).
  3. CHOOSE THE RIGHT SEAT. All the babies are very curious, so it would be easier for you to divert his attention from possible fears showing him the images through the window. Sitting by the window will also give a safety for baby, because most of the babies have confined space fear, what causes them panic (lift, aircraft, etc.)
  4. MAKE SURE YOU BRING THE MOST LOVING TOY TOGETHER. Get a toy, which baby loves the most, will guarantee you a little bit time for you're self (eat, relax and etc.). The toy will help the baby to calm down and feel comfortable. The toy will associate him with the peace of his home. Do not bring electronic toys or battery-powered toys to the aircraft.
