[blparent] advice for flying on planes with kids

[Erin Rumer]

Yes, and if your son should still be hurting after all the swallowing
attempts you could have some children's pain reducer ready in your carry-on
just encase.  I'd also have his tooth brush ready to get those sugar bugs
off when he's all done with the candy or juice.  Dr. Sears calls them "Sugar
Bugs" and I love that and use that with my son when we're brushing his
teeth. GRIN

Have a very safe and fun trip.

Erin

Hmmmm, I like that idea. Although he has never eaten candy I think he might
like sucking on a lollipop. He's only 14 months so I think a bigger lollipop
might be better because--even though I like the dum dums better--he'll try
to bite it and swallow it and probably get very mad and scream if we take it
away from him. And then, we become that couple with a kid no one wants to
sit by on the plane.

I like the idea though and think he'll find it a fun experience to have a
lollipop.
