When
snack time arrives, you better be ready — there's no reasoning with a growling stomach.
Not exact matches
Many daycares transport school - aged children from school back to the center, provide a healthy
snack, and then start kids on their homework, so that it is mostly done by the
time parents
arrive.
While you may not always have a choice, try to travel at off - peak
times or days so you'll have more space (and fewer other passengers to worry about);
arrive early enough to get through check - in and security screening without sprinting to the gate (remember, you'll have to take your baby out of her stroller and carry her through the checkpoint) but not so early that she gets restless even before boarding; always preboard if you can so you can grab premium space in the overhead compartment and get your baby situated without a crowd waiting impatiently in the aisle behind you;
time feedings to coincide with takeoffs and landings (If you're still nursing, offer the breast; if not, offer a pacifier or sippy cup to minimize baby's ear pressure); and bring plenty of drinks,
snacks, and entertainment.
Plus, the side benefit of
arriving and getting through security early is that you'll have
time to relax after that friendly security pat - down we're all so fond of and pick up a
snack for the flight since the airlines stopped soothing us with treats.
