Best toys for flights

Hi all. I’m taking my little boy on holiday in the next couple of months and wondered the best toys to keep a 15 month entertained for about 4 hours on a flight. Thanks! X

I’m doing a 4 hour flight in two weeks with my almost 18 month old. I got her a busy book from Amazon, as well as some fidgety type toys as they tend to not take up too much space. I also plan on taking lots of snacks. However I have also somewhat just accepted the fact it will probably be terrible, then if it’s not at at least I’ll be pleasantly surprised 🤣. I’m also commenting just to keep track of comments for any more helpful suggestions than my own measly ones paha

Hey Try this one, it’s great and not hazardous as well - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVLUmbNjSwG

Snacks. You will probably find your child spend four hours eating snacks! Fidget toys are great, busy books, reusable stickers you can stick on the plane window et cetera. It will go really fast but the time you’re up in the air eating a few snacks played a game, it’ll be time to Land.

Active sleeper

Has anyone else got experience of this...my 4.5 month old baby is extremely active during his "light sleep" phases. He sleeps like a log for an hour/hour and half or so after putting him down and then he starts to flail about, I'm assuming as he goes into a light sleep phase. He's asleep whilst he doing this (legs and arms flapping about, rubbing his face etc) but if he's left on his own he will wake himself up, so I have to pick him up and rock him until he goes back into a deep sleep again. For ages I thought it was because he was struggling with gas but I don't think it's that anymore. I'm already co-sleeping with him but only getting max 90 mins sleep at a time and I'm pretty exhausted. Haa anyone else had this with their baby? Does it improve once they can roll about and get comfortable? 🤞🏻🤞🏻

What do you really need for breastfeeding?

I’m looking up and getting ads for a million things, and it’s hard to know what women ACTUALLY USE while breastfeeding and what is just useless crap. I’ve heard nipple cream/butter is a great help, but I have no clue. Let me know what you all love and use.

Sleeping is out the window

Baby (10m) used to sleep amazingly but this week has been hell. I’ve just spent the last 2.5 hours trying to get him back to bed. Every night this week has been a battle. He goes down as usual but is waking at 11 and demanding our bed. After about 40 minutes I manage to get him back down but then he’s up again at 1 and that’s the biggest battle of the night. Taking hours to get him back to sleep then awake again around 5/6. I’m getting about 2 hours of sleep at night because I get so frustrated with how tired I am I can’t get back to sleep and end up lying awake, feeling nauseous from exhaustion and I don’t know what to do to get him back to his normal sleep pattern. I can’t function on this little sleep 😭

Milk coming in

Is this normal!. 3 days post c section, already have large boobs, have been breastfeeding but holy cow now actual milk is coming in they are like rocks and way bigger than I imagined possible.. any suggestions on easing the pain? I can barely touch them myself!

Baby transfer issues

I really need some advice! my girl is four months old and ever since she was born we’ve had a transfer issue from mine or my partners chest to the next to me crib we’ve done everything like wait for a deep sleep, bottom first then head when lowering, hand on chest you name it and she still wakes up and cries!! How on earth do I move past this :/

Nappy dry through night

My little girl is almost 2 months old and the last few nights when she wakes up after a 4-5hr stint her nappy is dry. I am so stressed about it. She is very alert when she wakes up for her food but then when she wakes she only takes a small amount like 60ml help this stressed mama. Once she feeds her nappy is wet, it’s wet halfway round now so it’s like she holds onto it.
