Can anyone please advise on these pointers:-
1. What to carry for a one-year-old on a 9-hour flight from London to India in terms of games and food to keep them busy?
2. Are there any relevant vaccines recommended for your child due to travel?
3. What type of milk did you give your kid in India?
Thank you

For the first one, we took baby snacks like wafers, veggie straws and melty puffs - finger food that wouldn't make a mess, could be got out/put away easily and didn't need to be kept fresh. For toys, we took some wooden cars, a small teddy, a teething toy, a toy phone and his comforter. But the most helpful thing we did was downloading Ms Rachel onto a tablet so he could watch that. We did get him headphones but he didn't want to wear them so he didn't even have the sound on!
I made a double appointment for us to get vaccines but he was mainly covered by his normal immunisations. There were two others he could've got at 12 months, but we were travelling a week after his 1st birthday and they take two weeks to kick in so they said not to bother. We just had to make sure he only had bottled water and only ate from trusted places once we got there.
