Airline Children's Meals

When there is no weaning or during the teething period, you also need to bring a lactation towel and tooth glue.

Because the bathroom on the plane is relatively small and there is no diaper table, it is recommended that you go to the mother and baby room at the airport to change your diapers before boarding.

What documents do you bring to your baby?
