Long flight how you manage sleep?

Question

I’m about to take a 14 hr flight and looking for tips. I took a 5 hr flight previously and my LO was doing ok sleeping on me. But for a long flight how do I sleep while he sleep? I’m scared of dropping him if I fall asleep. Maybe I just don’t sleep?

Answer

Don’t mind I jump in and follow ya . We also taking 14 hours fly first time to Singapore from London . 
I am so worried because my 10 month girl nonstop crawling at home . I don’t know what to do just worry about it . Maybe I just bring more finger food to keep her occupied ! 😩

Answer

I just took a 27 hour flight from the US to India🤦‍♂️ we booked the front row and got the baby cot there most international flights have. He slept pretty well in it on our first leg. About 5 hours and then couple of hours on me. The second leg, he slept on me in a baby carrier for a couple of hours at a time. Wasn’t too bad. The awake portion was harder actually because he couldn’t crawl around or explore!

Answer

Most international flights have baby cots the fold out in the front row. Call your airlines and let them know you’re traveling with an infant, ask if they have any accommodations

Answer

I just took a six hour overnight flight. He slept ok. I did not. Maybe twenty minutes at a time. I wasn't really worried about dropping him, not sure why, but I think it would be pretty hard to do. He's pretty big and plane seats are super small. And if the jerk in front of you reclines onto the mother and baby sharing a seat, you'll be well pinned in 🤣

Answer

Not sure if you can spring for the extra seat but I would and bring the car seat or check out the fly tot pillow

Answer

I used a baby carrier so I could sleep too last time but that was at 5 months. Not sure if he will sleep on me next time! He seems to only sleep in his crib.

Answer

Maybe use a baby carrier ? Probably would be more comfortable in a wrap ?
