yes, feeding on takeoff & landing is definately the way to go.

I also always have one of those VICKS vapour inhalers in my pocket so if either of my children aren't drinking (or for DD chewing a lolly etc) then I just take the inhaler past their nose & it will help unblock. It was suggested to my MIL while she was travelling with my niece when she was a baby & she was screaming on the flight, the flight attendant gave one to MIL & told her to keep one on her for flights.

Have fun hun & enjoy all that yummy seafood!!!!! (I will see you before you go, hopefully on Sat )
