What food to take on plane for 1 year old?

[fairy-godmother]

My dd was 18mths when we went to Melb. on CX. we brought her a ticket and requested the child's meal. From memory, there were meatball noodles, hamburgers, sandwiches & biscuits but we thought the meals were more suitable for children over 2. my child hated and the father ate it all.

They also offered us Heinz jar food but my dd much preferred her own milk bottle.

was just talking about this to hubby tonight.

both of my kids love the "hot dog buns" they are the buns that actually have the hot dog baked into it, similare to a "pig in a blanket". i think on my next trip, i'm going to take a couple of them for each of my kids.

Thanks guys all very helpful advices. I am definitely taking banana, avocado (hope i can find a ripe one!), yoghurt, cheerios and some jar food. I had already tried different jar food with bub to prepare him and he seems to be fine with them - lucky!

Sherwes, I also think that he will not sleep and will do exactly what you just described! May try to do a day flight instead of an overnight flight so that he will not disturb other passengers too much....

We just got back from a trip on Cathay. Cathay gives Heinz jars as their baby meal. We took tons of finger foods which helps, but it also gets everywhere. Bananas are great as well as avocadoes.

for finger foods, there are now these freeze dried fruits apples, banana, persimmons, etc. my toddler loves them!! we put them into a cup on the plane so he can eat them by himself and becomes an activity.
