Hello lovely people of the forum


So in the morning we will head off to fly 12.5 hours economy armed with our good isn sense of humour, lack of sleep and wonderful little boy of 13 months old.


I wondered if there were any top tips you might have. We are taking buggy and a pognae.


We are going to South East Asia a mixture of city and beach


Any tips appreciated

We just did flights to Australia with our 8 month old. We bought a couple of new toys to keep him

Entertained. The fabric books are great. We picked up milk, calpol, teething crystals food etc the other side after ordering online fromBoots. Although just realised you're off Tomo ! We also made a kind of tent thing over the bassinet using a newspaper and muslin as otherwise the lights were quite bright at times. It wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be ! Our son was better with jet lag than we were. Have a fun trip !

hi there!


pretty basic stuff, but my major tip for long trips like this is to bring lots and lots of plastic bags. like 10.


in case of accidents or spills / keeping things accounted for and ordered / storing half-eaten snacks for later / on and on, all many of things, it's just great to be able to keep stuff distinct from other stuff.


and ... erm, television. it's on planes that my son learned to love it.


good LUCK

yours!

Yep, interesting snacks, lots of nappies, and the sling is key.


Be super polite and co-operative to the airline staff, they can make a big difference to your flight.


A straw type sippy cup or anything which encourages them to suck (for ears)


iPad / phone with videos, photos. At that age ours liked photos and videos of himself and other babies.


And just do your best. We have done lots of long haul and luck plays a big part.


Have fun!

Just make sure you have enough of everything, like nappies, wipes (especially important), food. New toys, something to chew on while take off and landing. Also enough changes of clothes also very important. And yes plastic bags are usefull as someone menitoned above ;-)

      Problems finding Delmosart in pharmacies

      By ianr · Posted

      Noted. I wasn't quite sure from their material whether the 'ad lib' supply by pharmacists had to be mandated; hence the suggestion to check.  There are plenty of individual manufacturers of generic methylphenidate, probably quite a bit cheaper too.  I'm afraid I didn't see radnrach's "can't really take an alternative", so apologies for presuming otherwise.  For myself I'm generally willing to trust that any manufacturer's offering of, say, 27 mg methylphenidate hydrochloride tabs, would contain that, and I'm not too worried about the minor quirks of things like their slow-release technology. I think it's likely that the medicines Serious Shortage Protocol does definitely give pharmacists some degrees of freedom. But it's apparently not in operation here. See the Minister's recent reply to a written question: https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2023-11-13/1660#.   , which seems to approximate to: we can't apply the shortage protocol here because the drugs are in short supply.

      I'm not sure pharmacists have any discretion to alter specific medication prescriptions, although they can choose supplier where a generic is prescribed which may be offered by more than one company. This will only be for older medicines which are effectively 'out of copyright' . They can't issue alternatives on their own authority as they don't know what counter-indications there may be for specific patients. GPs may prescribe a specific supplier of a generic medicine where, for instance, they know patients have an adverse reaction to e.g. the medicine casings, so the Nottinghamshire directive to specify only generics where available may not always be helpful.
