International travel with babies?

crystal_he

Planning on flying from the US to South East Asia with a 3 year old and a year old. Sigh.... what can I do to make this trip easier? It'll be Washington DC - NY - Frankfurt - Singapore - Surabaya, Indonesia with SQ (Singapore Airlines). Has anyone made a similar trip? How do you handle the babies?
Thanks in advance.

Answer
I had to do a lot of plane hopping with my little ones when I flew to Ireland (four planes to get there, five planes to get home). They were a bit older - but we also take frequent trips, and have been flying with the kids since they were infants.

I disagree with the other commenter. I never check my luggage. When jumping that many planes, there is a greater chance the airline will "lose" your bags. It is also a pain to wait for the luggage to come around when you have little ones who may be cranky or overstimulated. But if you are traveling alone, then checking it may be your best option, as you won't have to struggle with kids and bags through the airport. Just makes sure you pack a backpack or small carryon bag with extra clothes (at least one set for every person traveling) and any and ALL important supplies - diapers, medication, money, passports... Keep that with you, so if your luggage is lost, you are not stuck with nothing.

For the baby, make sure you have a pacifier or bottle, or something they can suck on while the plane is ascending or descending. The air pressure can hurt their ears, and the sucking will cause that pressure to pop. Some suckers might also be good, if the older child complains about the pressure.

Bring snack foods - granola bars, fruit, crackers... And a water bottle. Fill the water bottle before you get on the plane. But be careful not to let the kids eat and eat and eat out of boredom. There is nothing worse than a kid barfing on a plane.

Bring activities and toys - but nothing noisy that will disturb other flyers or make a mess (it's not easy cleaning up a tiny space with babies in the way). Coloring books and crayons for the older child. If your youngest is going to be a lap baby, then be prepared for another passenger being seated with you. If possible, try to keep the aisle seat, so you can get your kids to the bathroom without having to inconvenience anyone else.

Oh, and try not to stress out if your kids do get cranky and make a fuss. I can't recall any flights I have ever been on that there wasn't a baby crying or a child whining. It happens, and most people will be understanding. Those who aren't, well, ignore them. Just concentrate on your children.
