PACK SNACKS! – Snack-Packing Tips

    • Keep snacks in zippered bags. As much as we love reusable baggies, dealing with reusables during travel is a huge pain. Pack snacks in individual portions that are easy to get and hand to kids one at a time. Then hand the empty baggies to the flight attendant when he comes down the aisle. You are allowed to take yogurt tubes, fruit pouches and peanut butter packets less than 3.4 ounces through security.
    • Pack your own water bottles and sippy cups. If your kids get thirsty and you have to wait for the drink cart, a tantrum might be on its way. Bring your water bottles empty, and then fill it up after you go through security.
    • Bring wet-wipes. These are great for spills, sticky hands and just freshening up.

Always Bring Along a Mini First Aid Kit

  1. If your child is prone to an upset stomach – pepto bismol chewable kids tablets.
  2. If your child gets bit if there is a bug within a mile of you, Benadryl gel is essential or benadryl liquid for kids.
  3. I always travel with liquid bandage for bad cuts and a pack of band aids and a tube of Neosporin.
  4. And of course, a small liquid Tylenol or Motrin or both for those unexpected fevers/headaches!
  5. Extra vitamins and meds (if they are on any meds, I suggest packing in 2 separate locations, just in case one supply is lost.

 

ENJOY & BE SAFE!!
