Are you feeling anxious or even petrified about an upcoming flight with your baby or toddler? Perhaps you’re travelling with more than one child and the thought is already overwhelming. This episode is for you.

Join us as we dive deep into the realities of flying with young children. I shared wealth of experience from years of travelling with three young children, often as a solo parent. From surviving long-haul flights to managing sleep schedules, snacks, and those unavoidable toddler tantrums, this episode is packed with practical tips and strategies to help you stay calm and create as smooth an experience as possible.

Whether it's your first flight with a baby or your tenth with a toddler, there’s wisdom here to help you embrace the journey.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • How to manage your expectations for flying with little ones.
  • The importance of staying calm and modelling relaxation for your child.
  • How to prepare your toddler or baby for the unique experience of flying.
  • Why a “bag of random” can be your best friend on flights.
  • Strategies for using snacks and screen time wisely without overdoing it.
  • The importance of partnering with your travel companion to share the load.
  • Insights into maintaining your child’s sleep patterns during and after flights.
