Airline "kiddie section"

LOL what I meant was that at several different periods the kid would kick the back of my seat repeatedly. :wink

Katie - Eden is so well-behaved I don't think you'll have to worry about her. Let me know and I'll get her some more sticker books or something. :cool The baby most likely won't be a major problem either. One thing my mom learned when she was on a plane alone with a baby (can't remember if it was me or one of the younger ones...) was - the baby was crying and the stewardess came and took the baby from my mom (nicely, and with permission) and held the baby's head so that one ear was against her shoulder, and put her other hand on the other ear. That helped with the popping, so the crying stopped.

A suggestion would be to have some bottles of water for the baby to suck, and a pacifier. The sucking keeps the ear from popping (chewing gum for Eden...). That will help eliminate a lot of the reason babies cry on planes.

Thanks - you're too kind! Our Eden can be a handful when she's been traveling for 13+ hours. For a while it's fun, but there comes a point when all she wants is her bed! Airplanes should come equipped with playgrounds! :clap:
