during a 14hr flight,how can i change diapers of baby and where should i throw them.?

Question

i dont remember that i have seen any basket nearby in aeroplanes.what if baby cries in plane.baby is about 7 months old.thanx.

Answer 1

two months ago, i flew to okinawa, japan with a 4month old baby. my hubby is in the military and we are stationed here. there is a changing table in one of the bathrooms, so you don't have to worry about the diaper part. if you take along dog poop bags, they sell them at any pet store, they are small bags that are perfect for smelly diapers since they block the smell, they are small and fit nicely in a diaper bag. you can throw the diapers in the recepticals in the bathrooms, or you can give it to a flight attendant...your choice.
if your baby cries on the flight....don't worry. do what you would normally do at home to clam him/her down. if she is hungry feed her a bottle or nurse, walk up and down the isles if the seat belt sign is not on, play with her on your lap, play peek-a-boo with the people behind you. make sure they have something to suck on durring take off and landings since the preasure will effect their ears and they can't "pop" them on their own like we can. this is where it is a good idea to nurse or give the baby a bottle, even a bink helps great at this time too.
another good idea is, if at all possible, to plan your flight around your child's normal eating and sleeping patterns this way you will know why your child is crying when/if she does. my daughter slept most of the 18hr flight and your child may do the same.
Good Luck and don't worry...it's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

Contact your airline ASAP to discuss the situation, and they will be glad to help you prepare. They deal with this every day, and so have no problem answering your questions.

As noted, request a seat on the bulkhead so you'll have extra room - did this on an 8 hour flight when my son was about 2. He has room for his toys and to lay on his blanket.

We had his car seat in his chair - not only for the flight, but also for when we drove around while in Europe. It is cheaper to have him on your lap, but it is not as safe, so if you can possibly afford it, get the additional ticket.

Make sure he's up-to-date on all vaccinations and try to keep him from getting sick as much as possible before you go. Talk to your pediatrician if he has any chronic problems like asthma, ear infections, allergies, etc. ad they may cause him discomfort during the flight from the pressure changes. The doctor may recommend some decongestant for a few days prior to and during the trip, to minimize the risk of these problems. They make special ear plugs for children and adults that will allow the pressure to change more gradually so there is less discomfort.

Change the baby in the bathroom, and bring a few extra plastic baggies to wrap the diaper in then put them in the bathroom's trash basket. My son was potty training when we travelled, so I also brought the fold-up seat cover that fits over the standard toilet seat so he can go on his own and not be scared of "falling in"

I hope you have a great rip!

On a flight that long, one would assume you'd be on a big plane.
Most of the bigger planes 747's etc have baby bassinettes on board, 3 or 4 of them, and if you request when booking, unless they're already booked out, you'll get one. They're generally in the area at the front of the seating section and fold out from the wall part. Some of the toilets are equipped with baby changing stations, ask the stewards when you get on board, and ask about disposal of diapers. Also they'll show you where in the galley you can get water for bottles etc.
baby has to be seated on your lap during takeoff and landing, its best to breastfeed, or bottle feed during this time, as the sucking helps babys ears pop, with the pressure.

Answer 4

Change the baby in the bathroom. A flight attendant will be happy to take the diaper that is sealed in a Ziploc bag.

Answer 5

Ask the stewardess when you board. She will show you where to change the baby and will provide a place for the soiled diapers. She may also have an area where you can walk the baby if it becomes fussy.

Answer 6

Ask the attendant to seat you in the front row. It has extra space for the baby to play and sleep.

I believe that I have alse seen baby changing stations in the bathrooms (as tiny as they are). To be safe, bring a changing cloth with you and you can do it on your seat.

Have fun.

Answer 7

of direction you could attempt giving him some thing to hold, even yet it feels like that doesn't artwork for him. Do you have a cellular over his changing table? I had one with my sons with a mirror and that often saved them busy. yet, of direction, being boys, each and every time the diaper replace into off they could attempt to snatch their genitals! ;) truly, i think of the only ingredient that should artwork interior the tip, it to sort of lean forward onto him (i comprehend, troublesome with out having poop throughout you) and save his hands pinned down which contain your greater physique once you're cleansing the poop. i'm undecided I defined that good. desire it helps!

Answer 8

bring favorite books, toys and things to keep the baby busy, and i think they have a place to change the baby in the restroom on the plane.....but i'd ask one of the flight attendants when you board.....

Answer 9

You should stick it under someone who's sleeping that is VERY far away from your chair, just incase. LOL just kidding. I'm sure they have a trash can on the plane. just ask the attendants I'm sure they will throw it away if they don't stick it up their asses lol.. good luck!

Answer 10

Try a little benadryl, it will help them sleep, plus if it has a little decongestant it will help with their ears (which can cause them to scream on take off and landing).
