hello, my wife and i are kind of afraid. We have to travel by airplane form Rio de janeiro, Brasil, to Frankfurt, Germany. Its a 13 hours fly and we travel with 3 children, one 7 year old, one 2 years, one 1 year. Has anybody made experience with babies in a oversea flight that long? Are the stewardess trained for that? are toys in the plane? is it wise to bring with you? what about the milk? how do i prepare milk in the airplane???? what if the start to cry like crazy and the rest of the passengers start to be angry?? the more i think about it, the more i am afraid. Can anybody give tips how to handle this?

I sat near a family on an overseas flight once. They carried a small DVD player with childrens DVDs and I was amazed at how this held the childrens interest. I don't know what you do to prepare the milk.... heat it?? If so, I know they have microwaves. You definitely can get bottled water if all you need to do is mix it.
If you child starts crying like crazy just soothe them as you always would. I know from experience if you get yourself worked up worrying about others being upset, the baby will sense your concern and it will take longer to calm them down. I think most people understand that babies might cry and as long the mom is not just ignoring them they will usually be understanding.

thank you for your answer. I know that babys feelk if you are nervous and upset und then they also get nervous and cry even more. Its important to stay calm, even if everybody looks to you. I know that, and i hope i get it, just to iognore the other passangers, in case the babies really cry, or have understanding passangwers on the board. This with the DVD-player is an excellent idea. I really will do this. Thank you for this tip, and also for the microwave tip. O really didnt think about that. With cooked water and a microwave it shoud be possible to preapere milk without problem. Thank you
