try to stick to your normal daily routine as much as possible while in flight, it will help you avoid a cranky underslept, over fed baby. If you're flight starts when its naturally the baby's bed time, or evening time, it will be much easier.
Call the air line and ask them for advice about flying with an infant, they are always happy to help.

If you check in early or phone the airline ahead they should be able to give you an air cot. Do make sure your baby drinks during take off. Might be an idea to ask a pharmacist about something to help the baby cope with the air con on the plane. it can make them very stuffy. Don't deprive you child of too much sleep this could make him 'over tired'. People normally have no objections if you walk your child up and down the isle. Try not to over stimulate the baby this could make them groggy. MOST of all RELAX. If you are tense your baby will be too. GOOD LUCK X

Cairo is the capital of Egypt and one of the greatest towns in Africa and the Middle East and a good place to go to; discover more with hotelbye . On the Nile stream, Cairo is famous for its own history, preserved in the wonderful medieval Islamic town and Coptic sites in Old Cairo. The Egyptian Museum in the centre of community is crucial see, with its countless Ancient Egyptian artefacts since number trip to Cairo will be complete without a trip to the Giza Pyramids, and to the nearby Saqqara Pyramid Complex. In Cairo you can see: The Pyramid of Cheops (also named the Great Pyramid or Pyramid of Khufu), the biggest chart of the Giza party, and its interior of thin passages can be explored, although there is not significantly to see, except an ordinary tomb chamber having an bare sarcophagus. Directly behind the Great Pyramid could be the Solar Vessel Museum, which exhibits one of many ceremonial solar barques unearthed in the region that has been meticulously repaired to their unique glory. More south on the plateau is the Pyramid of Chephren (also referred to as the Pyramid of Khefre), which includes an internal tube area that may be entered.

Rather you and me!!! Keep to your usual routine as much as possible, let the airline know before hand and they will supply you with a "cot" which will be more comfortable for you and the baby. The only problems you might find are with the pressure on the ears when taking off and landing (especially landing) so have a bottle ready cos sucking does help ... good luck

A week before you fly, take your baby to the doctor to check she/he doesn't have an undiagnosed ear infection. This is very common and doesn't come to light until the plane takes off, at which point the pressure hurts the baby's ear and they scream their head off for the rest of the flight.
Most people I know who have taken babies on a long flight say afterwards that it wasn't nearly as bad as they thought it would be!

I flew with my children from SA to the UK, a couple of times, and found that they staff on board were very helpful!! I did however get a prescription from my GP for that 'incase' need, and only had to dose my son on one occassion, when he was getting over tired and a little hyper! It is a long trip and it could go either way really. But rest assured the staff are experienced! Just don't stress ... rather get a mild sedative from your GP and take it from there. They do allow you to walk around, and you may even find that one of the staff will take him off your hands for awhile. Have a good trip!!

Have you informed the airline? They might give you a bulkhead seat with a bassinette so you have more room and a crib for the baby to sleep in. There should be at least one loo with a pull down baby changing table too, to make nappy changing easier. The cabin staff should also be able to help with heating food etc - I've found them really helpful when I've travelled with babies. Good luck!

The baby's ears are a problem as they get stuffed up, and need plenty of things to drink (breastmilk, formula, water etc. plus the pascifier), lots of diapers, and at least 2 more sleeper sets in case the baby wets one, or throws up, and extra blankets and cloths to wipe up spills.
Your keys that you carry can help to get the child's attention if he/she starts crying due to the pressure problems in the ears.
Call the airline and ask them for help/recommended assistance, and you are allowed to board before others on the plane.
Take crackers for yourself in case you don't have much time to eat while holding the baby.
GOD bless.

First of all, make sure the baby gets their own seat. You CANT travel 11 hours with a baby on your lap. You wont be able to sleep which will make you very tired and less tolerant to the baby needs. Also the baby wont sleep properly and it will make them grumpy.
Once a seat it sorted, the rest is just easy. : )

dont worry at all!
theyll probably sleep a lot while traveling. and will get up for meals and make sure you get a bassinet. and when the flight takes off and lands make sure the baby is with you onur lap.
cabin crew will be more than happy to assist you im sure!!
