LOL Tishy, when we left Auckland last month I said, I've got baby food do I need to get it out of the bag? And the guy said, not as long as you've got a baby! ]]> Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:46:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29820&PID=833039&title=ideas-for-travelling-with-baby#833039 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29820&PID=833034&title=ideas-for-travelling-with-baby#833034 Author: tishy

We carried jars of food, an open packet of baby rice and powder formula.
On the outbound leg (NZ - Ireland) we had them in the dispenser containers which were great as we didn't have to mess around with measuring scoops.

On the return leg we had a tin of formula with us.

I would make sure you have enough clean bottles to last you as the cleanest you'll get on the flight is a quick rinse.

The only place I had to taste anything was leaving auckland and that was just the Pamol.

We fly loads with C and recently came to NZ (and back again). All the airports are different, the airlines seem to be pretty same same.

Baby food is exempt from the 100ml restriction - you can even take bottles of water on with you if they're for the baby. As you go through security just tell them you have baby food and they usually don't even ask to see it (apparently going through Heathrow is different, they are stricter and want you to taste stuff but that's hearsay as I haven't been to London with C).

When C was 6m ish I used to take 1 nappy per hour of the flight and as many bottles as he would normally drink over that time period plus one extra. If your DD is having solids already, take the meals you need plus one extra. Some people I know prefer the squeezy pouch purees for flights but we coped fine with the jars

Maclaren do a REALLY lightweight stroller that would be great, I can't remember the name of it but there are loads - the ones with all the bells and whistles right down to ones that don't recline at all, have no basket underneath but just fold up quickly and are super light.

The stroller doesn't count in your luggage allowance so you don't necesarily need a lighter one unless you think the one you've got already will be too cumbersome.

we never had a problem with baby formula when we flew, just take it in powder form - with one bottle made ready to go
just make sure you declare it, we didn't and the guy knew we would of had formula so I said sorry I didn't realise I had to declare it, he was like thats ok but in future you need to declare everything :/

as for strollers, could you get one from like kmart? they are pretty cheap
otherwise depending on where you are going, any chance of either borrowing one or buying one there?]]> Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:13:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29820&PID=832505&title=ideas-for-travelling-with-baby#832505 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29820&PID=832480&title=ideas-for-travelling-with-baby#832480 Author: JD

Oh and I think baby formula is exempt from the 100ml rule]]> Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:24:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29820&PID=832480&title=ideas-for-travelling-with-baby#832480 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29820&PID=832479&title=ideas-for-travelling-with-baby#832479 Author: JD

We flew to London and back in June this year and I took the single serve sachets and just had the flight attendents fill the bottle with water...]]> Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:23:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29820&PID=832479&title=ideas-for-travelling-with-baby#832479 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29820&PID=832237&title=ideas-for-travelling-with-baby#832237 Author: skp

Hi can anyone tell me the rules as to flying with a bottle feed baby? How do you work around the 100ml rule?
Also can anyone recommend a very very light weight, cheap stroller to take away?
We are going on a 7hr flight (3 wk holiday) in a few months our DD will be nearly 6months at the time any suggestions on how to make it easy would be appreciated!]]> Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:18:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29820&PID=832237&title=ideas-for-travelling-with-baby#832237
