When traveling with a baby or toddler there are some quick tips that might make your flight day a little more convenient for bottle time. (Works great for long road trips too!)
Bottles:
Use bottle inserts. You can easily throw them away and insert a new one for the next use. This is particularly handy at times when you do not have a proper washing area. I was always leery of rinsing or washing bottles in a public restroom.
2-3 Clean and Sanitized Bottle Nipples - Pop a new bottle insert in and use a new bottle nipple until you get to your destination and can properly sanitize.
Travel Pacifier Wipes - these can double as a bottle/nipple sanitizer in a pinch. There are several organic brands and non-chemical pacifier wipes on the market.
Sippy Cups:
A nice "spill proof" sippy cup is handy if you plan on utilizing the juice from the airline. Most flight attendants will pour the juice into the cup for you during drink service. You can also rinse it with bottled water and use pacifier wipes to clean in a pinch.
We once had a 9 hour travel day with a long layover. I was thankful to have an alternate cleaning method for our bottle nipples. We had packed bottle inserts and 3 clean "ready to go nipples" but a delay created a need to rinse and sanitize for additional use. The above method worked great in a pinch!!
