...1st flight out!

Assalamualaikum,

Not the 1st time to go across the boarder for Baby.I but a first via airplane. Alhamdulillah, the trip was worth it ... even though yours truly didn't get to buy what she wanted but managed to snatch a few items. Hehehe.

So how did I prepare for the trip? I did my packing a week in advance and almost half of the luggage was Baby.I's stuffs! From clothes, diapers, snacks and food!! Preparing the food was easy,macam biasa jer....it's packing them up yg abit worrying. Lightweight is THE top requirement, so I decided to use styrofoam container to transport Baby.I's food.... then on how to keep all the food frozen for the journey? NASIB lah that time BabyMe SHop ada instock techni-ice but just two sheets (thought it was enough.... but noottttt!!! good thing I did trial on packing them food) and luckily, ada jua dearest mom online selling them... pheeeewwww~~!  

It was an experience to remember... first flight out and our flight got delayed TWICE due to airport closure! Dengan hati yg penuh beruri... I can only hope that all the food to be in its best condition. Alhamdulillah, all the food remained frozen eventhough it was out from the freezer for almost 12 hrs... Oh pls enquire ur place of stay whether or not they have freezer to store the food. We stayed with a family member there so it was no biggie, even to our holiday destination pun we stayed in an apartment w/ fully equipped kitchen!

Flight to KL : Baby.I went cranky not because of the take-off or pressure changes ... most ppl would think so but knowing him, it's simply because there was no room for him to move about. Al-maklum... biasa roaming around kan~ and awal2 atu pun abis dh magazines and inflight leaflet dikacaunya *hoHoho* Datang2 have to sit on our laps during safety briefing until take-off (takes abt 15mins masa atu... and to a baby who loves to move about... that an absolute BOREDOM!) The flight hostess pun giving me 'the look'... because when my baby cries... he CRIES that my parents pun panicked!! *lol* After the seatbelt signs were off.. ok tia. Cos we let him play around.. and he eventually slept the rest of the flight until landing and reaching to our destination.

Flight from KL : Baby.I dozed off during take-off and flight BUT bangun tia when the plane was descending (seatbelt sign ON!) so... cranky ya jua for not being able to move about and since, Baby.I refused to feed ... so yes, everyone just had to listen to his tantrum sampai the plane landed. Hehehe. Hubby and I were both calm handling this situation.. don't know about the rest of the passengers lah ah...our seats were the most front so.. heheh tak nampak lah muka orang lain.

Good thing I've read through BabyCenter.com wrt baby tantrums in-flight. There's just nothing much you can do if you've tried almost every steps to prevent it from happening. So that particular article really helped us to be calm the whole flight / journey. And Alhamdulillah, it was a memorable week spent w/ my little family.... more adventures to come! Insya-Allah~
