Travelling with 1 year old toddler

Here's my list when travel jauh for the first time naik airplane. I think my concern list pon sama panjang ngan checklist barang aper nak bawak. But yang paling worry me the most were how to make sure Qeeb tak saket tinger when airplane take off & what he's gonna eat? The answer to the first question was senang ekceli, make sure he chew / drink as long as dia telan air liur. But yang susahnyer how to get the timing right? What if dia dah kenyang time tuh? what if he just refused to bite something, what if dia tgh tantrum mode? What if...what if....ohhh worry too much is very tiring.

1. Susu - Since im not breastfeeding anymore, so i have think all the items yang kene angkut to buat susu. Flusk, tumbler, botol susu (1 for susu, 1 for air kosong), formula milk. At first i thought the check-in rules ada limit for liquid...i think less than 50ml kot. I learned that the rules actually only apply for international flight hehe. So no need to worry for domestic flight. I can bring whateva air panas and what not in my hand luggage.

2. Diapers - Kira brapa kali average Qeeb tukar diapers plus extra in case dia yayak more than once. Then kali brapa hari away from home. If pegi vacation tempat2 yang senang nak access beli macam2 benda no worries. But i dowan to end up diapers x cukup and kene gi beli...instead of kosongkan bag isik hasil sopping, bag penoh ngan diapers baru plak.

3. Toys - So far Qeeb takde most favorite toy. So i brought some books and small toy yang i know can distract him for a while.

4. Snacks - Oh nih sangat penting to keep him kenyang and quiet. Qeeb loves to munch biscuits/ kopok, cookies!

5. Food - It bothers me so much pikiaq his lunch and dinner. He's quite picky whatever yang masuk mulut dia. He will taste sket jer at the tip of his tongue....kalo tak suke dia sembur kluar. kalo suker dia kunyah then baru boleh proceed with second spoon.  My experience time kat LGK he refused to makan nestum, bubur marry brown, etc. Nasik ngan ayam kurma dia makan gak few suap, and nugget sumer tuh dia makan lar but mana kenyang T___T rungsing tol!  I just have to experiment more aper yang dia suker makan. Recently suke plak dia makan nasik goreng cina.

6. Stroller - Yes we bring our bulky stroller (but now Qeeb dah ada buggy yay). How to bawak stroller naik flight? Firstly get stickers first kat kaunter check in. Then baru leh bawak masuk departure area. Biler dah nak naik airplane, just lipat and tinggalkan kat tangga bawah because eventually i saw them masukkan dalam kargo area jugak. Ingat nak travel sehabes light...pakai carrier but during trial period Qeeb willing to remain quiet less than 15mins. Lepas tuh dia dah meronta2 nak kluar. And i'm not comfortable myself bawak carrier tuh with Qeeb's weight.

7. Medicine - I already put in my checklist. Takot tetiba demam mana pulak nak carik klinik kat tempat yang tak familiar sbb pegi 4 hari quite lama jugak tuh. So better sediakan ajer. And it happened that Qeeb mmg demam time nak pi LGK tuh so i have to double up syringe (each ubat satu syringe...senang dan cepat) and fever patch. Bawak cloth to sponge him.

8. Beach/ Pool - One of the itinerary was island hopping which im sure gonna take up at least 4 hours. So i got Qeeb baju mandi and cloth diaper with nappy liner instead of normal diaper. Nak beli proper diaper for swimming cam bazir because nak save budget jugak. But i got one that kind of diaper from sis (balance) so i used that when Qeeb mandi dalam pool. I also bought a beach toy to korek2 pasir....honestly this thing wpon quite kecik but menyusahkan nak bawak naik boat bagai. But demi Qeeb so he can enjoy his beach time, aku selit jugak dalam bag T____T. I also bought alas duduk plastic (very light) so i can duduk comfortably and Qeeb pon senang leh golek2 minom susu. Sib baik lar tak beli fabric ala2 picnic sbb kalo basah jadik berat.

8. My hand luggage - Basically 97% penoh ngan barang Qeeb jer. One baju extra for him in case dia muntah and also one baju for me kot2 terkene muntah dia. One sweater in case sejuk. Stuff untuk buat susu (refer to item #1). One story book for Qeeb to belek and his snacks. Wet wipes, 2 diapers, mini sabun, bedak and lotion. Others are my lipstick, my own camera (which i did not have the chance to pegang sangat) and of course my handphone.

I think that's all i can think of for now...list berterabur hahaha. Kalo tetiba tingat i will add later. Skian sudah my experience bawak Qeeb naik airplane and boat :) Practice makes perfect...so hopefuli ada rezeki pegi lagik :)

  2. Congrats on your first time travelling with a toddler! :) I say, you managed very well. It's been a while since I had to do any of that. Nowadays, suruh Buddy n Allie je pack their own things and diorg angkat sendiri their stuff. Mommy jalan lenggang2. LOL! Your time will come soon!!

    Oh dulu I tak bother ngan flask (berat tuuu) coz on flight, they have hot water, so I just suruh isi botol kosong sekian2 banyak, isi water a bit from the other bottle and baru letak susu. Kalau jalan pun macam tu, pi restaurant mintak hot water. But you've got everything down pat.. macam pro selalu bawak toddler pi vakasi! hehehe

  4. shemah, ouhhh cant wait to suruh dorang angkat stuff sendiri lol! your kids dah besar and independent...syiok. if kuar together orang tgk pon macam kuar with adik kecik lol!

    my flusk considered mini jer hehe so not that berat. i was thinking to mintak air panas dalam flight but considering the possibility Qeeb asked for susu during tunggu at airport so better prepare je lah all the stuff. nanti dia nanges kuat2 tak sabar lagik i panic lol!
