Updated: Essential Travel items/bed?

Vanessa

Hello Ladies!

I will be taking a short 1.30 hr flight with my 5 month old baby. This is my first time taking him on a plane. Any essentials that you recommend?

Also I am taking a 10 hour flight to Istanbul in September (baby will be 9 months).

Any portable bed recommendations? Light enough to take on plane.

Thank you!!

Update : Oh yes for both these two trips I will be staying with family. So no hotel will be needed. :)
