How to Survive Air Travel With Babies and Toddlers
For many of us, air travel is part of our lives, as we go on holidays, business trips, visit friends or relatives. But for children, flying can be an adventure beyond imagination! Some love it, some hate it and others will be indifferent, as long as they are with their trusted parent.
In any case it is good to plan ahead and travel prepared otherwise even your 50 min short flight (or however long your flying) will feel like you are flying to the end of the world!
Tips for flying with your baby:
Have plenty of fluid to give your baby during the flight and make sure that she is drinking or eating during take off and landing. That way you will automatically get her to 'equalize', that is adjust to the changes in air cabin pressure by swallowing.
However, taking fluids on board is not necessarily that straight forward these days with heightened safety measures. Custom officials may ask you to open a milk carton/ bottle and sample the contents in front of their eyes - regardless of the fact that this may spoil the milk for your baby or leave you stuck with an open carton. You should definitely check with your airline what types of restrictions are currently in place before you pack your bags!
If you are breast feeding then you are obviously not going to have any problems with taking extra fluids on board so if you are about to travel somewhere by plane it may well be worth delaying weaning your baby off your breast until after your trip.
A spare set of clothing for your baby and enough nappies to last you the journey are a definite must, too! In fact, take an extra top for yourself, just in case your baby is sick all over you. I once sat for a good two hours with semi-digested banana vomit down my cleavage because my daughter was sick all over me and I had no choice but to hold on to her for the rest of the trip without being able to clean myself up properly - of course I had brought an extra set of clothing for my daughter so she was nice and clean again once I got her changed...
Toys for distracting a little baby are also a good idea although small babies do not need much more than an un-inflated balloon or the inboard magazine to tear apart.
Depending on how long you are travelling your baby is likely to want to sleep during the flight so you might want to reserve a bassinet for a long-haul flight and take your baby's sleeping clothes along (including sleeping bag). If you are travelling by yourself and the flight is not fully booked, try and ask that the seat next to you remains unoccupied as you can always rest your baby on it when your shoulders have gone all stiff from holding her in the same position.
When you are travelling with a toddler most of the above points also apply although you need to be a bit more adventurous with your snacks and toys.
Thick short pencils and something to draw on are always a favourite but do not take felt tips as you are bound to loose the tops and your toddler will start colouring the seat in front of you!
In fact, your toddler is likely to show real interest in the seat and person sitting in front or behind you anyway. Whilst you can sort of discourage constant kicking of the seat in front of you or prevent your toddler from pulling the hair of the person sitting in it, you will not be able to stop a tantrum if you are being too restrictive. This will be worse if your child is suffering from air sickness so take nose drops and baby paracetamol just in case!
Although you are generally discouraged from allowing your toddler to run around the plane, you should definitely allow your child some exercise if the alternative are yells - this is not fair on your child, you, your fellow travellers and even the stewardesses! Remember that sitting still for a long period of time is totally unnatural for a young child and you should just apologise to your fellow travellers in advance of your child playing up if you know he may be difficult during the flight. On the other hand, your toddler might be so excited by the whole adventure of being in an plane, maybe even seeing the captain and cockpit and playing with the window blinds that you will not have no problems whatsoever!
Final word of wisdom: before the end of your flight you are likely to be pretty exhausted from all the damage-limitation exercises if you have an active toddler with you so make sure to rest if he's finally sleeping, too!

Not Enough Breastmilk? Here Are Practical Ways to Increase Your Milk Supply
Not enough breastmilk? Low breast milk supply is a frequent occurrence for many women. Due to this, many women try methods that can be able to help to increase the amount of milk supply that their breasts contain.
One method that can be used to maintain or increase a woman's breast milk supply is to pump your breasts while breastfeeding. Breastfeeding and/or pumping should be conducted at least up to 12 times per day. Feeding times or pumping sessions do not have to be long but should generally be more often and you should ensure that your baby seems full. Offer your breast to the baby every two or three hours during the day, for a couple of days or offer the breast in between usual feedings as a snacking option or for comfort to the baby. You should also ensure to offer both breasts during each feeding.
Allow the baby finish the first breast feeding before switching to the other. Alternative switching encourages the baby to suck more strongly, when the pressure seems to have depleted which may be due to the baby falling asleep, stimulating good milk let down. When the breast is switched, this allows for the milk to come down from the back of the breast to the nipples. Try to feed for as long as the baby wants and not time it for your convenience. This will make sure that the baby obtains a proper balance of foremilk and hind milk present in the breast. The removal of this milk will ensure increased milk production. Breast compressions during feeding encourage the milk to flow more freely and keep the baby feeding longer. During the first couple of weeks of feeding, artificial nipples should be avoided as it may develop nipple confusion for the baby. This will cause your baby to refuse the breast.
Resting adequately, increasing water intake, eating nutritiously and nursing frequently all promote milk production during the breast feeding weeks of your baby. Smoking, allergy medications and decongestants, sleeping on your stomach or wearing a bra that is too tight should be avoided because it may reduce breast milk supply
If these methods fail, there are medications that can be used to increase breast milk supply. Galactagogues are substances used to increase breast milk supply. These should be used as a last option to increase supply. Oats and oatmeal are also safe ways recommended to increase breast milk supply. While nursing, eat at least one bowl of oatmeal per day and observe if your milk supply has increased. Mother's milk tea can also be used to increase breast milk. The tea contains herbs that are thought to help with lactation. Other herbs such as Fenugreek can also be administered in capsule form by lactation specialists.
During breastfeeding weeks, do not introduce solid foods to a baby's diet. This will cause the baby to wean from the breast earlier than you would like reducing breast milk supply.
