Perks of flying with a one-year old
I was recently told that flying with children aged between one and three years old is the worst. But when I was flying with Baby Girl yesterday, I realised that there are definitely a few perks of travelling with a one-year old too–at least if compared to travelling with a newborn.
I’m no longer breastfeeding at take off and landing, which makes it less awkward to sit next to strangers on the plane. Yesterday I gave Baby Girl Organix Cheese and Herb Puffs and water, and she was perfectly fine.
But best of all was what happened after take off. The stewardess came over with a kids fun pack, including an activity book and crayons. It was the very first time Baby Girl has received anything like this on a plane, and we both got very excited.
When we had finished eating, we did some colouring – both on the page and on other items within reach. Our new fun pack didn’t only keep Baby Girl busy on the plane, but me too. What a fab trip.

That sounds fantastic – can you disclose which airline? We flew to Ibiza with our toddler last month, and all we got was an extra seat belt that kept making him say ‘ow’ (I didn’t know he knew that word.) Very happy I found your blog, it’s great…
Glad to hear you like the blog. We were travelling with British Airways, and I’ve been really happy with them. They give little ones a Flight Logbook too, and I love collecting ‘miles’ for Baby Girl (https://www.mummyinthecity.com/logging-air-miles-with-baby/)
