S-26 is SMA in Ireland which is funny considering S-26 is manufactured in Limerick ]]> Fri, 23 Jan 2009 12:47:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23916&PID=595578&title=feeding-on-long-distance-flight#595578 <![CDATA[Feeding on long distance flight : If you ask on the formula website...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23916&PID=595572&title=feeding-on-long-distance-flight#595572 Author: Redbedrock

If you ask on the formula website what the equilvalent is, they are pretty good at telling the name of the formula over there as they are labelled and packaged differently - certainly Karicare was last year
Karicare is aptimul in England

You can get them at the Warehouse and Kmart too. We have a couple for each baby when we travel, they are so convienant and don't take up as much room as the big tins. If you like to stick with just one formula you might want to try and see if you can get it in the UK, just a thought.]]> Fri, 23 Jan 2009 12:30:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23916&PID=595554&title=feeding-on-long-distance-flight#595554 <![CDATA[Feeding on long distance flight : yeah I bought mine in Pak n Save....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23916&PID=595322&title=feeding-on-long-distance-flight#595322 Author: tishy

They containers with 3 compartments that you can put pre-measured amounts of formula into. Saves the hassle of lugging the tin around

ETA: I always use these when I am going out with the girls rather than pre-making a bottle

We just fly to Ireland and back over Christmas with our twins.

I packed the formula in travel containers and carried empty bottles. I got the air host(esses) to fill the bottles and heat them. You won't need to carry water as there will be plenty on board.
I took Pamol on board as well and it was never questioned.
I also had heaps of jars of food and also carried baby rice/muesli which I made up in the plane.

ETA: the only time I was asked to taste any open liquids was when leaving Dublin.

Wow Saffron thanks!

Hmmm not playing or even brief kicking around on the floor at all, guess it makes sense you're right you don't get much warning with turbulence.

So to be sure the way i normally do bottles is have the water and then add formula when i need it, so i can do this, just have a bag with all my bottles and take it from there?

My sister-in-law flies frequently with her two children (3yrs and 10months) she always flies Singapore Airlines and finds them to be very good and considerate of families with young children. I was a flight attendant don't hesitate to ask for help with your bubs especially with heating the bottles etc. They will do that for you in the galley and bring the bottle back to you. Some big flying with baby no nos though are:
changing a nappy on the seats, always go to the toilet to do this
leaving your baby alone on seat while going to toilet, even if they are sleeping - just ask a flight attendant to stay with him.
Letting your baby play in the aisle or on the floor between the seats.
You need to be aware that not all turbulance can be seen or predicted its called clear air turbulance and small objects and small people can become missiles and be seriously hurt and hurt others hense no playing in the aisle or on floor.
Take his favourite things to entertain him with.
One last thing is if you can get him to take a bottle during descent the sucking and sollowing helps clear their ears. If he has any congestion before you fly ask a flight attendant for a eucalyptus sachet and hold it by his nose. And give the pamol at least half and hour before descent.
Oh...and for those sore ears you get have a bottle of water, some chewing gum, or hard lolly to suck on. Its the same theory as for your little one, sollowing is the best way to clear your ears, don't do that hold your nose and blow thing you can really hurt your ear drums with that. Try eucalyptus sachet as well. You need to start using them before you start to descend though.
I think you'll be fine. If you are doing long haul flights with wee ones it is much easier to do before they are completely mobile. It is a nightmare with toddlers!]]> Wed, 21 Jan 2009 19:01:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23916&PID=594028&title=feeding-on-long-distance-flight#594028 <![CDATA[Feeding on long distance flight : Babies and toddlers are exempt...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23916&PID=593999&title=feeding-on-long-distance-flight#593999 Author: HippyMama

Babies and toddlers are exempt from the LAG (Liquid/Aerosol/Gel) regulations, so it doesn't matter if you take the formula already made up or not - this also includes quantities of Pamol and baby food.

What you have to bear in mind is that you need to mention you have it, at least leaving NZ, and that it is for the baby travelling with you.]]> Wed, 21 Jan 2009 18:16:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23916&PID=593999&title=feeding-on-long-distance-flight#593999 <![CDATA[Feeding on long distance flight : Hi, Pretty sure someone asked...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23916&PID=593966&title=feeding-on-long-distance-flight#593966 Author: FionaO

Hi,

Pretty sure someone asked about this recently but cannot find it.

Ok I am flying to the UK in June with my baby who will be 8/9 months old by then. He is bottle fed and I know will be on some sort of solids by then. With the whole liquid restrictions what can you take?

Ie, would I have to take water and formula seperately or would they not allow me to take water, if I have to have made the formula up before we go, then it means taking it in a cool bag etc etc

Also can you take pamol, but that is also a liquid, just thinking could be good if he gets sore ears (i do)

I am flying with singapore airlines and going before DH so doing it alone and its making me nervous.
