Hi

On Monday we go to the UK for a visit to see friends and relies but i am starting to really worry about the flight; how it will affect the bubs and how the bubs will affect the flight! Even though Oscar has potential to be a bigger nightmare i'm more worried about Will. He is such a light sleeper that i just can't imagine that he will sleep for any length of time and that i think he will end up getting over tired and going completely off his nut.
We have a 6 hour flight starting mid afternoon so when we land they will normally have been in bed for a few hours. We then have 3 hours in Singapore airport then the 13 hour bad boy to blighty. Even if they stick to their normal sleep habits (which i'm sure they won't) they would only sleep for 6 hours on this flight but having done it before i know that the plane has it's lights off and everyone is expected to sleep for most of the flight! This is not going to happen for anyone sitting near us!
I don't want to use drugs as such(although i may eat my words on the return journey if outbound is truly awful) but i have bought some Brauer natural medicine Calm. Has anyone used this and had any success? If it will just help them stay calm and relaxed that would be great. I'm not trying to force them to sleep longer than normal or anything but i just want them to relax and not get over tired or stressed.
Oscar will have his own seat and once he is asleep is quite good at staying asleep. We have booked a bassinet for Will as he a lightweight and shorty for his age (72cm and 8.5kg) and i have a great sling for carrying around in to settle him.
If anyone has any experiences, advice or tips they could share i would be very happy to hear as i'm really starting to get very scared.
Thanks and sorry for long rambling post.
