How to soothe the baby at the airport and plane

Once I flew 1.5 hours from Kiev to Moscow, and for me hysterically screaming child. Never for a moment ceasing his indignation. When I took a ticket for the 9-hour flight to Bangkok, it is very afraid of a repetition of the situation with the same child - it would be a challenge! But in most cases, parents can reassure your baby and let everyone around to get some pleasure from the trip. We are discovering the wisdom of calm our children, and our baby on the plane was an angel.

Be cold-blooded. This is the most difficult advice, but most importantly - do not give in to the child's manipulation, it is removing you off balance children perceive as a marker of the success of your event. Stay calm, and speak slowly and softly. Never mind the angry glances of passengers - they will be a lot, believe me. They are, in fact, only hinder you to deal with your child.

Raking debris and free up space. Overcoming cordons airport was filled with stress for you and your baby. And because your stuff is in chaos. As soon as you're allowed to unfasten the straps, do it and let your child stand up. Do not clutter the space meager bags and packages. Many children need more space when they are angry. Agree with your neighbor sitting next to the window, put the child there, it calms the child and enhances the perceived space for it.

Distract. If you do not give your phone or camera, purse, or pocket-book at another time, the aircraft need to allow them to touch your child. It really takes it.

Whisper. Talk to your baby in a whisper: "If you want, I'll tell you a secret?", The kid is guaranteed to want to know him. By itself, the secret is not important, important is the tone of a whisper, and some mystery that takes consciousness of the baby.

Do not run around the airport and runs in the first on the plane. Airports are arranged so that they always have something to do, and not necessarily immediately rush to the departure gate isolated zone. Stroll through the duty free, buy the baby something, argue with him and turn the purchase of candy in the Great Shopping. And do not go on the plane first. It's a normal impulse "in time", but without you, no one will fly. And if you are afraid of the things you should be aware that 100% flight attendants will find a place of your things, it's their job. Never seen a stroller or a suitcase were not stacked on luggage racks.

Be clever. :) Tell your child how everything here is arranged. Here is the machine with the food, that's poured liquid wings from frostbite, but the uncle - the pilot, etc. Airport - a complicated thing, and the children will be interested in everything. And adults all this is interesting, admit it;)

Stock up on snack and drinks. Passengers with children can carry lots of fluids on board. So take milk, cocoa and all that is needed. Buy all sorts of goodies and all that loves your baby. On the plane you need to have more of your favorite things. Another take toys, coloring books, stickers Transformers and ben 10 accessories :) Useful everything.
