It's so not fun. I totally empathize.</p> <p>Not gonna lie, it's one of the reasons I opted for the iPad instead of a new computer. </p> <p>The Benadryl thing pisses me off too. I would never do that to C. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-like-flying-w-a-toddler#post-857856 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 08:43:30 +0000 bunnylove08 857856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh this is my fear!

We're taking DD on a 4 hour flight in 5 months and I'm so worried about this. Let me know if you find any tricks that help on the return flight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-like-flying-w-a-toddler#post-857807 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 08:28:29 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 857807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also fully support iPads or whatever you need in situations like this! Sorry it was so rough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-like-flying-w-a-toddler#post-857797 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 08:20:43 +0000 edelweiss 857797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh you poor thing! i haven't traveled with LO yet but i figure i'm in for one of these experiences because he's not a great sleeper. sounds like you did everything you could. i fully support the ipad idea or whatever new "toy" you can get that will keep her occupied. good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-like-flying-w-a-toddler#post-857792 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 08:17:46 +0000 regberadaisy 857792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh no!! that sounds like a nightmare!! I hope the return flight is better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-like-flying-w-a-toddler#post-857787 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 08:16:47 +0000 mrsjazz 857787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our flight was delayed for two hours and then we sat in a line waiting to take off for 40 minutes. Miss thing would not sleep even though she was super tired. I thought we got lucky when she fell asleep right before we boarded but nope, she woke up before take off and stayed up until about 20 minutes before we started to descend. </p> <p>We bought snacks, her fave book and doll, a new doll, new coloring book, and new toys and those each helped but not for long. I read Moo Baa Lalala 5 times. She was obsessed with the tray table and the lady in front of me got annoyed by that. She was squirmy, she cried, her ears hurt during the descent and she screamed and would not take the boob, sippy cup or snacks.</p> <p>My husband slept for most of the flight except for when I elbowed him to wake up to help me.</p> <p>I'm ready to find an Apple store and get an iPad for our return flight on Sunday. Ugh. </p>
