At the Airport Help your kids work off their energy before you board. Keep a close eye on your kids as you walk around the terminal with them. Make sure you provide them with plenty of liquids. This can be a real problem for many children. Breast or bottle feed infants on takeoff and landing to help equalize ear pressure.
Older children can try drinking through a straw or chewing on soft candy.
Remember that the effects of pressure changes will be felt more acutely if a child has an ear infection. Changing diapers Some airplanes have a small changing table in the bathroom, but most do not. If you choose to change your baby at your seat, be sensitive to other passengers. Put soiled diapers in a sealed bag, and dispose of them in the bathroom trash can. If you don't have a bag to put them in, air sickness bags work in a pinch.
