CS - Sunday, April 24, 1983 - North Shore News rca vc) Bring your own diapers, spoons FROM PAGE C4 up - they all do, especially if Mom hasn't anything else to wear. Disposable towellettes are essential. Don't forget the familar toys and blanket, but not every one you own. Make an = appointment with your doctor, getting all necessary immunizations before you leave. He might prescribe a mild sedative but test it at home at least a week before departure. Travel - by Barbara McCreadie PACKING: The trouble with babies is that they can't carry their own bags. One suitcase - on wheels - is going to have to do for one parent and the baby. You'll have to have a diaper bag to haul all the supplies you'll need during the flight and you may find it wise to use part of this as your purse, rather than carrying yet another bulky object. Most airlines provide for cabin storage of folding strollers. Believe me, you'll not want to be without one. If the baby is very tiny, you may forego the stroller in favor of a body sling but the main point is to have some method of carrying the baby that leaves your hands free. PASSPORTS: 1 believe in having separate documents for every person but if you decide to have baby in- cluded on a_ parent's passport, better make it Mom's. Especially if she is still breast feeding. SEATING: On every plane there are roomy seats known = as “bulkhead” seats. These are placed near doors’ and behind partitions. Airline carry-cots (available in limited quantities from many airlines) only fit in these seats. They are only useful for very tiny infants but LOW AIRFARES TO EUROPE RETURN AIRFARES FROM VANCOUVER IN CANADIAN $ ATHENS MILAN PARIS ROME ZURICH trom trom from trom trom $1127 00 1008 00 879 00 1046 00 1020 00 COPENHAGEN trom ZAGREB GENEVA VIENNA BRUSSELS trom trom trom from $1183 00 1008 00 1098 00 907 OO 1029 00 Plus other cities in Europe VENTURE TRAVEL HO Travel Agent Act Reg #077 4 advance agent for details Japan Ait vybe tae 21,030 Make your a= and buy your tickets at least Some cancellation penalties apply Lines Boeing er Yee eC, JAL 77/7 HORNEY STREET Phone 986-1377 110 East 14th Street (at Lonsdale) North Vancouver.

Even if your baby is too big for a cot, a bulkhead seat is best. Try and reserve one in advance. You will never be given one in front of an emergency door - these are reserved for adults only, in case of trouble. A note for adult travellers - avoid the bulkhead seats directly behind the partitions unless you really like infants and small kids. IN-FLIGHT TIPS: Changes in air pressure, mainly at take-off and landing. hurt everyone's ears. Babies seem to be especially bothered and it helps to feed them a bottle at this time. Even a pacifier, if you can stand the things, relieves some of the ear pressure. Don't change the baby in the main cabin. Most planes have washrooms with let- down shelves. Ask the flight attendant. Try to tame your baby. It is possible to attach the seat belt to the infant but watch like a hawk in case the child wiggles its way into a strangle hold.

Try not to be all day about it. If you get very lucky, the seat next to you will be vacant. Raise the armrest between the seats, scrounge as many pillows as you can and make a nest for the I don’t care what anyone says, there is just no safe place for a baby during take- off and landing. Aijrlines insist that you hold the child in your arms but’ car manufacturers will tell you all about that position. If you are breast-feeding, ask for a blanket and get on with the job.
