hi beck,
we went to m'sia so the time difference were 2 hrs and 3 hrs both times we went there.. so it wasnt so bad... it didnt make as much difference.. the first couple of nights he was a bit unsettled but after that he was ok. the first trip we made was a day flight, and we got to KL at night and he was just so unsettled, and didnt sleep all night. but then he was only 4 mths then..
sorry, am not much help..
only thing i can suggest if possible for them to sleep thru the flight.. very hard i know..
xoxox
hope all goes well, hun
What a great source of info. We are planning to go to Canada at the end of the year and my DD will be almost two. I was tossing up whether to just buy her a seat or not. I know the extra expense would be a pain but sitting with her on my lap for 16 hours would never be fun.
Has nayone had any experience with medications to quiten their DD/DS down for the flight. I would prefer something natural as I don't like giving DD any medicine if I can help it.
We're heading to Europe with DS in May, and as he's quite full-on and never sleeps much we are also looking at medication to sedate him a bit. Don't want to have to give it to him, but we need that option if he's really playing up and wont sleep. He's quite a "challenging" little guy! My GP suggested Polaramine as DS is too young for phenurgan (SP?). The pharmacist wouldn't even sell me Polaramine as it's not advised for children under 2, however a different pharmacist had no issue with handing it over! Another option is Brauer homeopathic Calm remedy, which is completely natural. This, however, has little effect on my DS but chances are it would be more effective on other kids. Here is a link to another thread similar to this one with a few ideas.
