Both boys have a big mommy preference. (Poor Dh). If we have to be separated I suppose that N will be with me and E with my Dh. However that will only work if E will take a pacifier for take off and landing, I had planned to nurse at those points but Dh has trouble keeping N calm. </p> <p>I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. I am hoping everything goes off with out a hitch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-2-under-2#post-1687424 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 13:21:29 +0000 tysonja 1687424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually try to pack as little as possible, as long as I have LOTS of snacks, a few diapers, wipes, and one change of clothes. I try not bring too many toys (or any at all...) and hope they can figure out things to do on the plane! :)</p> <p>depending how long your flight is, it can be kinda difficult with 2 under 2, but you'll get through it and the trip will be worth it :)</p> <p>also, we didn't realize this when we flew across country with a 3 month old and an 18 month old over Christmas, but since they were both lap children, my husband and I could not sit in the same row, as they only allow one lap child per row/section (grouping of 3 seats). the reason is there are only 4 oxygen masks in each row of 3. that made things kind of difficult, but we survived :)</p> <p>have a great trip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-2-under-2#post-1687401 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 12:46:36 +0000 MrsRcCar 1687401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: @Applesandbananas: We are planning to hit the store after we arrive to pick up some things. It just feels silly to buy things we already have. :silly: I packed our check bag and it is pretty full so I guess it is good we are purchasing things down there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-2-under-2#post-1687367 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 12:12:00 +0000 Applesandbananas 1687367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: oops! I'm sorry, I totally missed the flying part!</p> <p>Could you ask your family to buy a pack of diapers ahead of time and a few other essentials so that they're on hand when you arrive? </p> <p>I don't have experience with flying with a LO but is it possible for your older LO to have his own carry on? You could pick up a few new toys and pack them in his carryon to keep him entertained! I think for your younger LO, the experience in itself might be entertainment enough. I'd definitely wear him as much as possible! </p> <p>Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-2-under-2#post-1687329 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 11:16:17 +0000 looch 1687329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it an option to ship things ahead? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-2-under-2#post-1687320 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 10:59:10 +0000 MrsRcCar 1687320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: I think it is so much easier for us to pack for a car trip! We road trip all the time, air plane travel is scary because we have to pair down what we pack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-2-under-2#post-1687269 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 09:49:38 +0000 Applesandbananas 1687269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I only have one but I'm prepping for our road trip and so far I have:</p> <p>Diapers<br /> Wipes<br /> Clothes<br /> Cheerios<br /> Cheddar bunnies<br /> Bananas (LO's absolute favorite)<br /> Sippy cup<br /> Horizon milk (doesn't require refrigeration)<br /> Bibs<br /> Clothes<br /> iPad with games loaded<br /> Charger</p> <p>We just did a similar road trip (all in one weekend!) and it worked out great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-2-under-2#post-1687185 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 08:03:55 +0000 MrsRcCar 1687185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: we are planning to wear both kids in the airport. N still loves to be worn. We are staying with family friends and they have a couple pack and plays. We are taking our back up back up car seats that way if something happens I won't be upset. I am so nervous about flying with two, which feels silly because I just flew with N in December. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-2-under-2#post-1687136 Sun, 08 Jun 2014 06:16:46 +0000 hellobeeboston 1687136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping this for you -- I have no idea, still haven't flow with just the one and I tend to overpack!! I'd be sure to have lots of snacks and treats for N on the plane! Are you going to wear your newborn?</p> <p>Are there pack n plays where you are going so you don't have to bring one? What about a carseat?</p> <p>Good luck </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-2-under-2#post-1687039 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 22:46:42 +0000 MrsRcCar 1687039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/traveling-with-2-under-2#post-1686412 Sat, 07 Jun 2014 09:00:45 +0000 MrsRcCar 1686412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The RC Car family leaves Monday to visit family for week. We are flying. </p> <p>Please show me your packing list for two under two when you fly! I want to make sure that I am not forgetting anything. </p> <p>Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spits-up-wakes-himself-up#post-1120596 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 03:01:48 +0000 .twist. 1120596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaineysMom: nope, he's not on anything. It doesn't bother him to spit up, it just wakes him up because it gets cold... </p> <p>@Mrs. Blue: I haven't tried that but I might. I do feed him in a more upright position and that has helped some, but not totally. Which I read could be because of a food intolerance? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spits-up-wakes-himself-up#post-1120572 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 01:39:34 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1120572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would talk to your ped about it if you haven't already. Also, have you tried angling the mattress so LO isn't sleeping flat? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spits-up-wakes-himself-up#post-1120570 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 01:37:37 +0000 LaineysMom 1120570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is he on Zantac? I would talk to your ped... DD used to spit up a little bit in her sleep, but NOT wake up.. I was terrified that she would aspirate in her sleep.. Talk to your ped, but honestly, I think the fact that he wakes up is a very good thing.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spits-up-wakes-himself-up#post-1120565 Mon, 30 Sep 2013 01:08:44 +0000 .twist. 1120565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spits-up-wakes-himself-up#post-1120460 Sun, 29 Sep 2013 22:37:48 +0000 .twist. 1120460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does this happen to anyone else? I am going crazy. </p> <p>L was so tired tonight he didn't even fuss when I swaddled him, I was sure he'd sleep for a long while. Then, less than an hour later he spits up and wakes himself up. This usually happens a few times throughout the night and I have no idea now to stop it. I feel like it's stopping him from sleeping longer stretches. </p> <p>I have a feeling he may have a dairy intolerance, so I've cut out dairy and I'm hoping this helps.... </p> <p>I need some sleep help. I can't keep seeing every hour of the night... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-things-we-do-to-ttc#post-521894 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 13:42:58 +0000 Vegmama 521894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've really been wanting to keep this whole process really fun for my husband. While I've been keeping track of everything, he has no clue, haha ... I mean, he knows I'm keeping track, but I'm sure he's clueless about 'what' I'm actually monitoring. I am a vegetarian, and my husband has been eating no meat while trying to conceive. Not really to increase our chances ... but I want a 'meat free' baby. I also lay with my hips elevated for a bit after BD. That's about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-things-we-do-to-ttc#post-519176 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:28:49 +0000 cascademom 519176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.VW: Nope, I wasn't worried about it getting stuck. I got really knowledgeable about where my cervix was and how to unsuction it. I kept it in overnight and would remove it in the morning. I always felt comfortable with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-things-we-do-to-ttc#post-519163 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:23:19 +0000 Mrs.VW 519163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: I've always wanted to try the instead cups.... I'm just scared they'll get stuck! Did you ever worry about that or have trouble with it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-things-we-do-to-ttc#post-519122 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:04:06 +0000 cascademom 519122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Ditto on not doing those things again for LO #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-things-we-do-to-ttc#post-519110 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 11:00:23 +0000 Bao 519110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holding my legs up after BDing and propping my butt on a pillow, not peeing for an hour afterwards lol, so silly. I will not be doing these things for LO #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-things-we-do-to-ttc#post-519048 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:22:05 +0000 cascademom 519048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Diva cup might not be as effective as Instead Cup. The Instead Cup sits up close to cervix keeping the sperm nearby. The Diva Cup is funnel shaped, so the sperm pools down the same way it would for menstruation. The Instead Cup is gross to handle post sex because it's been spread out on the surface of it. I used it for two months and got pregnant on the second month of use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-things-we-do-to-ttc#post-519038 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:17:52 +0000 Happygal 519038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cascademom---ooooh. I bought a DivaCup to try out, but haven't been using it regularly. I like that it takes the pressure off of looking at the clock and trying to decide if I've been laying still long enough. But putting it in after BD is very unromantic, so I'm lazy about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-things-we-do-to-ttc#post-519030 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:14:04 +0000 cascademom 519030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we were TTC, I lifted my hips after BD, green tea, and Instead Cups (kind of think that they worked). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-things-we-do-to-ttc#post-518966 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 09:33:55 +0000 Alivoo01 518966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lifted my hips up after BD, tried all sorts things like pre-seed, green tea, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-things-we-do-to-ttc#post-517963 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 15:16:38 +0000 Charm54 517963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I slept on my stomach in the TWW to try to encourage the embryo to implant!! #crazyladyrighthere </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-things-we-do-to-ttc#post-517909 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 14:48:35 +0000 SweetMamaM 517909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: aligning with traditional Chinese medicine principles basically - there's a lot of lifestyle guidelines to do with exercise, diet and sleep (not so different to Western medicine) that you can do before taking herbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/silly-things-we-do-to-ttc#post-517877 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 14:31:30 +0000 alayaya 517877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so glad I'm not the only one who feels like I think too much about this stuff sometimes! </p>
