Aid groups warn any invasion would add to already-catastrophic conditions for Gaza's 2.4 million people
No matter how old your child is, get a good quality insulated food bag from a trusted brand (personally, I love Igloo) and pack all the eatables there. Be sure to get a few ice packs as well; I usually pack a large one and two small ones.
Every child goes through phases quicker than you can say 'huh?' So while avocados may have been the can't-do-without snack last month, today it may just be carrot sticks. Be sure to keep note of the things your child likes and pack accordingly.
I do love to give my child fresh stuff, but there are times when you have to bend the rules. Whether you have a long or short trip, delays happen. When going on a long holiday, it's good to carry along some things with a longer shelf life. When my son was just an infant, I would carry packages of organic Ella's Kitchen baby food in his bag.
Take things like Cheerios, and other bite-size foods to make feeding and snack times fun for infants and toddlers. For instance, cut grapes into two to prevent choking. Make squares out of hard cheeses like cheddar and small, fine sticks out of carrots.
Count the expected number of meals and snacks for the entire journey. Carry extra meals and formula if your child is on it. I take along 200-250 ml boxes of long life organic milk as extras on top of fresh organic milk. The fresh milk does not usually last long outside the refrigerator, so after a few hours, it has to be discarded.
Always rinse bottles, bowls and utensils with bottled water immediately after using them while travelling. There are few things worse than milk that has curdled after being left in a bottle for too long.
Remember to get the little ones to sip water at regular intervals when they are inside a flight. It helps keep their little bodily functions regular as well. Take along their water bottle and refill with purified bottled spring water at intervals.
