New cabin allowance restrictions and travelling with babies

i am a little lost here. can we mix formula with bottled water? distilled or mineral? i started giving my baby mineral water/distilled water when she was 4 mths old (she was exclusively breastfed).

and NEVER let children or people with a weaker immune system drink the water from the plane. there have been numerous incidents where healthy adult had stomach problems after drinking water from the plane. always, if possible, buy bottled water at the airport after customs.
 
Don't plan on buying bottled water after you pass through security. I flew to Los Angeles in November and at HKG there was another security check AT THE GATE where they checked again for liquids and put whatever you had in a plastic bag. I was pretty surprised by this. However, in my experience Cathay Pacific always has plenty of Evian or Vittel bottled water.

Do you mean the bottled water that the flight attendants hand out are not safe to drink?
 
water in bottles like Evian, Vittel, or Volvic are safe. However, for young babies.... Maltida, and my pediatricians always say to boil the bottled water... you never know how they have been treated before being bottled.
 
i've had two kids and i've NEVER boiled bottled water. so long ast he seal is not broken before they open it, you should be ok.
 
I will be travelling on Oasis in June and they said that I was only allowed to bring a 100ml bottle of water with the lid sealed and unbroken. They did mention that they have distilled water on the plane but to be on the safe side, I will ask for hot boiling water and let it cool down before mixing the formula in. As for solids, I will take some rice cereal - I'm avoiding baby commercial food as much as possible.

Does anyone know if bananas can be taken on the plane which I can use to mixed into the rice cereal?
 
Travel with a 14 mths boy for a long flight

Hi all, Does anyone have good advices about traveling with a 14 mths old boy to the States. This will be the first for us to take him out of the country. Is there any specific thing I need to bring and be aware of. I'm flying with UA. :thanks :thanks :thanks :thanks :thanks Appreciate your help. I'm a bit nervous, I heard lots of bad things about flying with a baby/boy. It will be a nightmare.

Thanks
 
Get him his own seat and do not expect great service from what is called "Disgruntled Airlines".
If there are three of you, try to get by the window and you will have a private play area (in a 3-4-3 cabin). If there are only 2 of you, you can try to book a window and aisle seat and hope no one takes the middle seat and you'll get your play area that way.
Bring some favorite toys/books.
