How ahh???

Nothing much happened since the makan-makan. Haidan got his 2nd jab and as expected, he had a slight fever. But since dia dah besar sikit, he's now good at merengek-rengek if he doesn't get his dukungs, hugs and kisses. Sabor je lah...

On another note, I finally received my provisional driving licence (and my passport!) in the post. I was dead worried that my passport would be lost in transition and that I wouldn't go back home this coming March. Speaking of which, we've got 2 more weeks to pack and I'm confident I'll be in panic mode as to what to bring and what not to bring for the journey with Haidan along.

Since it is a long haul flight for Haidan (he'll just turn 3 months then), I was wondering whether we could bring his buggy with him to the cabin? I mean tak larat lah nak dukung dia all the time while waiting for the flight, especially when I have to tend to the luggage and Mama without Hubby around (Hubby's flying in 2 weeks later).
I have seen people with strollers around the waiting lounge but most strollers are for 6months and above, right? Haidan still can't sit unassisted. At the moment, he's using his car seat, which attaches to the buggy frame. Can I bring his car seat in the flight with me? To those with experience- help please!


If I were to get a sling/ carrier instead, then sampai Malaysia nak jalan-jalan leceh pulak, especially if we eat outside (which we definitely will!).

Hmmm.. how ahhh????

hi auntie dita! mummy says next time can call her to ask haidan-sort questions. heheheheeh. but since i am here i'll pass on the message:

yes you can bring the buggy. they will take it when you board the plane and then you get it back masa you ambik kat conveyor belt. but if you are lucky they might keep it in the plane. travel light and bring a napsack since you will be travelling with just nenek mama. since he is still on yumyum juice, then you only need to bring nappies and ee-teng (most important) then makan just feed him on the plane. i too went back when i was 3 months and it was ok. make sure you request a cot coz sometimes they don't have and then haidan would have to sit on your lap for 13 hours! that happened to my cousin... kesian mummy dia and my cousin.

anyway... just give mummy a buzz and then i can chat with you too which i absolutely love!

if you do not already have a harnest, you can borrow mine since you will only use it for a while. mummy says no need to waste and buy a new one if you don't already have one ok?

One more thing dita, just before take-off and when the plane starts to descend, make sure that Haidan is suckling on something, whether pacifier or bottled milk. This is to alleviate the pressure difference in his inner ear, which can be painful for babies.

When we went to US two years ago with Wesley, we were allowed to bring his car seat onboard the plane. So you can try your luck.....

Hi Leelwan, yes will definitely give your mummy a call later. Looking forward to talking to you soon. Thank you sayang!

Hi Rashdan, OK thanks, dear. Tapi when you bawak car seat tu as hand luggage ker or you got Wesley he's own seat?

Dita;

Make sure you DO CONFIRM SEAT with BASSINET !!! Itu yang penting ..... and then since dia masih neneng, just apa orang kata hulur ajer kaaannn hehehehe

(Even you fly business class, seat with bassinet is a priority)

Apa apa pun, since dia baby, it is so much fun travelling ... sebab dia mudah tidur!!!

Tak sabar nak jumpa Dita and Haidan .....

Jgn lupa buat makan makan tauuu (Eh patut kita ker buat atau dia eh?)
