when i said entire journey, i didnt mean the entire time you will be away. i meant the period of time you will actually be traveling. ie. flight or car journey time from your home to your destination, and any transit times you spend in the airport.


Amsterdam to NYC - JFK- 8 hours
JFK to where you are staying - assuming 1.5 hours



pack each travel meal separately in transparent freezer bags and label them: for example breakfast bag will contain, milk, cereal, fruit and snacks, bottles, bowls, spoons and bibs. same for lunch, dinner and any other meals

it makes it easier when you get to security and you need to bring out your hoard of "liquids" and fluids and food

take only the meal pack you need in the plane or car journeys in your handbag put the others in your hand luggage.



Pack the foods you know your babies like and take without much drama, this is not the time to be experimenting if you have a fussy eater.

Aim to feed and do your nappy changes before: you get into the car, plane and before you land. - Immigration queues can be long. if you arrive at the same time an A380 packed to the brim is arriving from China, or india, immigration will be packed to the hilt and you can easily be on the line for an hour or more. the airport staff may not even see you to give you preferential treatment due to the crowds so plan ahead.

hat lets the ground staff know it needs to be returned to the plane doors at the transit hub - because they can collect it from you and the next time you will see it is at your final destination! very very annoying!!!


extra time for travel, and clearing security, because of the food you are carrying, they will check, swab and scrutinise, EVERYTHING. if you dont leave enough time you can miss your flight!

Have you tried someone else feeding her in your absence. Sometimes they can tell its you and will refuse the bottle from you. But they will take from others.... yeah babies can be scheming little bundles of fluff. They are programmed to find our mumu button and hold on to it.

If you are out with hubby or whoever, let them try feeding her the expressed milk. And see if she takes it.

For breast feeding in public, you can try a breast feeding cover / shawl. I am not a big fan of whipping out my boobs to breast feed, So i always had a cover with me.

Also i always wore a stretchy vest underneath my top. Especially of it is a top i have to raise up. You raise the top up and pull the vest down so that your tummy remains covered. I struggled with button down tops as my boobs were too big for the tops to button and i refused to buy new clothes.

Dont even use by mistake to wear oshelenge dress in the name of sexiness or bubu, or buba and wrapper with long chemise underneath. you no go know when you go nake.d in the name of finding breast.....

( all from experience- luckily it was as we were getting home, baby screaming her lungs off, tight-me-dress no gree unzip, wrapper no gree untie, at least bubu was easy to get off....lol! )

AlphaHandMaiden:


Oh wow.... not even close....

I actually work in the Building Construction/Engineering Consultancy industry lol!

i wont mind the stay at home wife oh..... just praying Alphahubby becomes CBN Governor so i can retire...lol!
