Flying with a 14 month old?
Please leave down all your tips, tricks and recommended items for a very long haul flight.
The last time i traveled with my little one, he was just 9 months old so his needs have now completely changed.
I can’t wear him in a carrier now so what travel pram is good? He’s on whole milk but how will that be possible to give him in flight? Thanks!

How long is the flight? Is it overnight? Booked bassinet seat?
-I don’t think you need a travel pram because often you can leave it right outside the aircraft
- milk: just bring some with you, ask for it during the flight from stewardess. Why would it not be possible?
- pack excessive food box for you and bay
- bring familiar things and few new toys
- my most important toy is masking tape (stick to the wall, remove, pull, color, … so versatile, makes no harm,…) 🤪
- physical play for baby before the flight
- consider going in a lounge before the flight because it is more relaxing
- avoid overstimulating
- no screen time (makes tantrums worse)
- hearing protection
- water bottle with straw for take off and landing
- keep routines
- comfy clothes and eye mask for you
- depending on airline etc you may order kids food
Do not let them sleep close to take off and landing!! Nightmare. It’s harder for them to pop their ears when sleeping.
Also wait until everyone gets in the plane before you get your toddler in. More time and space to get them tired in the airport. We tried both and the best thing, was my husband letting our toddler run around outside the plane while I got us ready in the plane.
