What to do with a small baby on a long plane trip?

I'm traveling with my 2-month-old to see my parents who live overseas. She's bottle fed and I need advice on how to handle feedings during the trip. Is there sterile water on the plane? What can I take in my hand luggage as far as other liquids? Is there any way of cleaning my bottles on the plane, etc. Thanks!What to do with a small baby on a long plane trip?i would take only empty, sterile bottles and purchase the liquid baby formula that comes in the small 2-4 oz bottles, like 6-8 in a box... similac and good start have those. that should be allowed in carry-on, right??... that way you don't have to worry about mixing on the plane and if you have sterile nipples that 's even better cause all you have to do is attach the nipple to the little formula bottles and feed.



oh, or enfamil has a box of 16 individual serving size packets for 10.99; each packet makes a 4oz bottle of formula. i know those fit in your purse or hand-bag and are very versatile... you can definately mix bottles at your seat with those and a bottle of un-chilled purified water....maybe they sell bottled purified water on the plane you could use and not have to worry about bringing it.... those are the best ideas...



another idea is to bring 1 or 2 bottles of unchilled purified water and an unopened can of powdered formula... you can mix that at your seat....but i dont' know if that passes flying guidelines.

bring your own water buy it after you pass securityWhat to do with a small baby on a long plane trip?You can buy bottled water once you go through security and you can take it on the plane with you. As for washing the bottles...i suggest you bring enough so that you can just wash them when you get off.What to do with a small baby on a long plane trip?
of course there is sterile water on the aircraft. whether it be a 737 747, 757, etc etc, there is going to be some bottles of water, and as far as other liquids, check the FAA,FAR, the airports designated "safe" lists, and other things like that.

FAR - federal aviation regulationsWhat to do with a small baby on a long plane trip?I took my son on a plane trip when he was 2 months old (he's 5 months now) and we took bottled water for his formula. The airlines said as long as it is for the baby it is okay to bring even if it's breast milk. They will open a bottle and test it but you can take what ever you need. I used the Playtex drop-ins so I didn't have to wash the bottles and I took several bottles so I didn't have to wash the nipples.
