Flying with 9mo old?

What kind of stuff should I take on the plane to keep him occupied for 5 hours?

 

Re: Flying with 9mo old?

  • We flew with Logan at 9 months to hawaii. A new toy, books, puffs, and the ergo for naps kept him occupied. He had just started crawling but was still happy to sit on my lap. It wasn't too bad.

  • New foods/puffs/crackers that he's never seen before.  (We introduced yogurt melts for the first time on a long plane ride... a very successfull distractor!!).

  • Just did a 6h then 1hr flight (to get to Maine) with M and he was mainly interested in the other people, books, and the earphones. I had a couple of toys for him that I had kept "hidden" for a week or so in advance and he was happy to see them again (maraca, etc).
  • Do you have one of those soft, cloth acitivity books? Both boys always loved those and I got lots of mileage out of them. I didn't fly with either kiddo that young but kept one attached to our jogging stroller for them while I walked/ran.
