I have traveled solo with my LO since she was born. About 5 times before she turned one and 3 times after. After she started walking, it became really challenging but I’m still doing it. Here are my recommendations:
1.- Download their favorite shows. We don’t do screen time at home or at least I try not to most part of the time BUT for flights it’s a must.
2.- Dress your baby in a comfy outfit. Remember that there’s some planes that are not that cool. Bring a sweater just in case.
3.- Blanket.
4.- Leash for kids. I know, they look terrible. But if you don’t want to chase a toddler around the airport, it’s a must.
5.- Check all your bags. Bringing carry on with you + diaper bag + personal item is not it, specially when going through TSA.
PLEASE REMEMBER if your baby cries or bothers other people in any type of way, just remember that adults know better, not your baby.

“Just remember that adults know better, not your baby” omg you’re too sweet.🥹 But my little family are taking a little vacay for the first time and I’m trying to gather some tips too!😂

I can’t remember the exact phrase but it changed my perspective completely. I also bought a portable sound machine and I bring many snacks + water with us. It’s hard but it only lasts a couple hrs!

Are you flying? I have flown solo quite a few times with my LO. The biggest helper is snacks! Lots of snacks. They are distracting and fill them up which helps them sleep. I also bring a new toy or two that comes out on the plane. Then I pray for sleepiness to come 😂
