When we were at the airport Rianna seems fine. Same as usual a happy kid we always love. Keep smiling and waving hands to strangers. I brought her milk but only in her cup and that’s all. Hubby and I decided to just try to buy milk there when we arrived. I didn’t bring any special food for her, just a few yogurts for her snacks. I brought her favorite toy and of course her pacifier.

When I thought it was hard flying with a toddler I was wrong. It’s different in every situation. The worst part of riding an airplane is the takeoff and the touchdown as it is very painful to the ears especially for little ones because of the pressure. We have been told to just let babies suck pacifier all the time. And that what Rianna did. She sucks her pacifier and falls asleep as soon as the plane took off. The first few hours of flying was fine. She was sleeping, but after an hour and a half, she woke up and started messing around. Do not want to sit and start playing. It was hard to control her at first. So I let her eat her snacks and drink milk and then she settled down eventually. Sitting quietly while I’m talking to her and showing her the clouds. She went back to sleep for half an hour before we arrive. Hubby and I laughed thinking maybe baby girl understood that it’s scary when the airplane takes off and a touchdown and that she needs to sleep to avoid it. She’s a good girl, isn’t she? The flight was only 4 hours. I’m not sure how to handle her when we go to the Philippines when the flight is over 13 hours. But we will see.

The whole trip went well. We were there for a week. We bought local fresh milk and yogurt. And thanks God Rianna didn’t have any stomach bug at all. Were right she can drink any milk. At least here. We just let her eat the same food as we eat. She’s a good eater although picky sometimes.

We often have a road trip and I make sure to always bring her water, milk and some snacks. Her snacks usually just yogurt and bread.

She sleeps better there. However, at first nights she would wake up and ask for food or milk which is strange because she was trained not to have milk anymore at night. It was fine though, I give her what she wants to make her comfortable.

I think she enjoyed the trip so much. Especially the pool. She loves playing in the pool and swim. We stayed in a family friendly resort and villas. So it was so perfect for family holidays. The villa was huge we have a bedroom, kitchen, living room and terrace. Enough space for Rianna to walk and run around. I was surprised at how we manage to travel with a toddler pretty well. Even though she got high fever one day and we need to cancel our road trip plans, still it was worth it.

Tips for traveling with a toddler. Always makes them comfortable. Don’t forget to bring food, milk, water, and medicine. Pacifiers can make your toddler at peace to avoid the ear pressure. Try to make them sleep as much as possible during flights. Try to stay in a family-friendly hotel where your toddler can enjoy their facilities like the kiddy pool, play area, etc.
