toddler car seat airplane
Long flight with toddler- how to put her to sleep?
We have a 15hr flight next week and i’m pretty concerned about my 2yr old who only sleeps in her crib or in the car (car seat), though if it’s the car, it’s not for very long. She doesn’t even sleep in my arms.
We purchased a seat for her but airplane seats don’t exactly recline very much and the fact that we are there with her will make her want to fight sleep just to play.
Of course, she’ll get tired eventually but if i don’t have her bed there that will make her fuss.
I tried giving her baby gravol this week to see if it had any effect on her and it had none whatsoever. Didn’t fall asleep any earlier or with any less hassle, didn’t sleep any longer and she even woke up once during the night.
Are there any homeopathics or natural sleep inducers for babies?? I really think she’ll need some help to fall asleep.
thanks!
And yes, i know everyone hates hearing a baby scream, mommies do too!
whoaaaa, wait a second. someone said dont let them take a nap, ad they’ll sleep? ha! you know your baby better than anyone else. i’ve been a nanny for 7 years. a lot of times if a baby doesnt get their nap they stay up longer and are more cranky. try and schedule the flight overnight and take your baby to the zoo or something during the day, because being in the sun all day always leads to a better nights sleep. benadryl? (but that also can wake some kids up instead of vice versa.) bring things to keep your baby entertained (portable dvd player, coloring books, etc) flying with children is stressful not only for you, but for those around you as well. i hope everyone is understanding and as a good sense of humor. i wish you the best of luck.
