How do you sooth a baby on an airplane. I have been on planes where the babies cry the entire flight. I just don't want to put other passengers through the constant wailing. Is there anything I can do to prepare for that?
If your baby is still nursing that can help a lot during take-off. For older babies come prepared with a bag of tricks (snacks, toys, books). Be prepared to get up and walk around a little. It isn't always fun traveling with a baby but hopefully your won't cry the whole time.
You guys all seem to be into "natural" so I'm throwing my own two cents in here. There are calming herbs that a baby can have in a tea before and during the flight. You need to ask a herbalist but this is what we did when my wife and I flew with our baby and our baby slept most of the 5 hour flight and was in a good mood for the part she was awake for.
