Just looking for suggestions! We're going to the UK in a few weeks with 7 month old Dd and ive made a list of what I might need on the plane... Here's what I have so far!
1 wondersuit
1 blanket
10 nappies (is that enough?)
2 pairs of socks
2 singlets
Large packet of wipes
1 jacket
2 long sleeved onesies
2 long pants
Panadol
Comforter
Nappy bags
2 bibs
........
Any suggestions from people who have done a long haul flight with a baby???? I'm not sure if I'm overdoing it bit I want to be prepared for all possible poo explosions!

We recently flew with our baby to Hawaii and he was 7 months old at the time (2 hours to Sydney, then 10 hours to Hawaii).

I read somewhere to pack as many nappies as hours of travel (just in case!) but I think you taking 25 nappies would probably be over the top! In terms of clothes, we took his PJs and a spare change of clothes.

I'd also recommend bringing some new books or toys that might entertain her for a while, and take them out at different times when she needs some distraction. Our DS wanted to touch everything (and everyone!) nearby. We also brought a couple of his favourite books and toys for comfort.

Good luck and enjoy your trip!

toys and food, i know they give you food on the plan, but just snackie things to keep them quite when they are noisy, if bottle feed dont forget the bottles

We are off to Ireland in 8 days, so good timing as I am starting to make lists of things we'll need. Our DD is 10 weeks, will be 11 when we fly.

She is BF so no bottles needed and not on solids so no food. My main concern is poo explosions- we have one almost every other morning so I am worried about that!

Stealing your list and editing it a bit-
1 wondersuit and one on her
Wrap me up sleep suit
Change of clothes- either onsie or tights/top
1 pairs of socks/booties
2 singlets
2 blankets and 1 muslin wrap
Panadol
Dummies- just in case
Nappy bags
Large packet of wipes
15-20 nappies
Pawpaw ointment
Prescription cream for ezcema

I will see if I can fit it all into the nappy bag! We fly singapore/London/Ireland with a few hours stopover so I want to be prepared. Also having either the sling or baby carrier depending on which one she screams least in when I am packing!

Here is a great tip passed on to me when I did the UK flight with DS

Put the clean clothes in snap lock bags, if/when your little one soils their clothes you can put the dirty ones sealed into the snap lock bag. Better than your travel bag smelling of vomit/poo

Also, do the same with 2 tops for yourself

just in case you get covered in something a bit yucky

Have a great trip
