Activities for flying with an 11 month old

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

I'm travelling with my 11 month old this weekened, alone, DH isn't coming. I only have one short flight and I have an aisle seat, but its right over lunch time. I've flown with DD before but it was when she was 4 months old and she mostly slept or nursed during those flights, she wasn't the active, curious almost toddler she is now! I plan to wear her in the ergo on the flight, carry the carseat using the snap n go stroller to the gate so that I have a place to put her and other stuff if needed. 

 

Any ideas for activities to keep her occupied during the flight and what to feed her? I'm planning to bring those squeeze packs but she loves to feed herself.

    We traveled a few weeks ago with DS and he was 10 mo at the time. He played with my water bottle most of the trip or with my empty water glass from beverage service. Every 20 mins or so, I'd get up and go stand in the galley area and bounce him around,

    I;ve never flown with my kids and /i hate flying so hopefully I never will, but I think at this age snacks and bottles work best, with any luck avoid naps prior and get his to sleep

    We have had to fly at least once a month since DS was born. Now that he constantly wants to move and play it is tough but still doable. If its a short flight I would walk the isles the whole time. I walk and look for older women and men who are grinning a

    We flied last week and DS did great for 3 of 4 flights (we had a connection, not direct). He nursed/slept for most of the three flights and when awake he loved putting the tray up and down over and over again. He also enjoyed looking out the window.&nb

    We travelled with LO a couple of weeks ago. The short flights (that were less than an hour) were not so bad. The long flight, which was about 4 hours, was the longest 4 hours of my life. lol. We pretty much had to bribe him with puffs to keep him
