He would feed him one at a time and he was entertained for a good amount of time. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-on-a-long-flight#post-2575272 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 16:27:16 +0000 BSB 2575272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: oh, good warning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-on-a-long-flight#post-2575255 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 15:23:47 +0000 Charm54 2575255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: oh those are awesome!! Exactly what I need </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-on-a-long-flight#post-2575244 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 14:13:50 +0000 PinkElephant 2575244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Warning - both pouches and sippy/straw cups can pressurize during takeoff and will squirt everywhere with great force when you open them (I learned this the hard way with a straw cup of apple juice!)</p> <p>For cups, open the lid to let out air before you open the spout/straw and give it to your LOs. For pouches, I'm not sure there's another way except to open with caution - I always used jars to avoid this concern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-on-a-long-flight#post-2575237 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 13:53:46 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2575237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the Choomee bite valves for pouches in the go.

I think for their ears, I would like to bottle feed as we take off. It will be a 5-6 hr flight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-on-a-long-flight#post-2575228 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 13:23:29 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2575228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We introduced pouches for traveling (when at home she eats table food or homemade purees) &amp; it went great. We did have to get our hands swiped at security since we had them in our carry on, but otherwise all went fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-on-a-long-flight#post-2575227 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 13:21:34 +0000 SweetiePie 2575227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pouches (get ones that are neutral-ish colors so less stain potential)<br /> Take a couple bananas (it sounds gross but I would bite off a piece and mush it a tiny but with my mouth and then hand it to him).<br /> Yogurt melts? If you've done them already.<br /> Really soft steamed carrots and peas in little Tupperware containers. </p> <p>Those are all things I've done in the past on a flight and have been pretty easy and a hit. </p> <p>I can't remember if your babies are old enough for puffs or Cheerios yet? Those always provided lots of distraction for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-on-a-long-flight#post-2575223 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 13:13:51 +0000 jhd 2575223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO's haven't used pouches yet there's a spoon attachment you can buy and just squeeze a little at a time into the spoon. </p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Graduates-Pouch-Spoons-2-count/dp/B00AWLZFF2" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Graduates-Pouch-Spoons-2-count/dp/B00AWLZFF2</a></p> <p>FYI I got mine for about half that price at target </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-on-a-long-flight#post-2575220 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 13:10:11 +0000 catlady 2575220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like a good plan. Have you tried pouches with them yet? I would get them used to them beforehand if you can. Some LOs don't really like them or take awhile to get used to them (my LO never liked them). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-on-a-long-flight#post-2575219 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 13:09:01 +0000 Pollywog 2575219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long of a flight and what time of day? Would it be possible to feed right before boarding and after landing?</p> <p>I would avoid purees on flights because of the mess, but could see giving him a banana chunk or cooked veggies to munch on. Still messy, but less messy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/solids-on-a-long-flight#post-2575217 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 13:05:51 +0000 BSB 2575217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone feed solids on a long flight?</p> <p>Babies have reduced their formula consumption and look forward to solids (purres). </p> <p>I don't think they'll be full if we just do bottles.<br /> One will have their own seat and the other will be a lap infant. </p> <p>I'll bring food pouches. I guess I won't need spoons or bowls because I'll use the squeeze pouches to go directly into their mouths. </p> <p>I'll need to make sure I have Bibs and baby wipes with me. </p> <p>Anything else? </p>
