    Hi you can take some biscuits , fruits like banana , custard , pudding, emergency medicines like headache medicine , fever medicine for toddlers .. Download rhymes or stories in I pad so they don't get bored . Plan some activity to keep your toddlers busy like drawing book etc ..

    Hi Kalpana,

    I am so glad that finally you have booked your tickets.

    Please carry their snacks and some light food.
    Do carry baby Tylenol or Ibuprofen incase of any emergency.
    Usually baby food and medicine is allowed
    Do take their stroller, which has be checked in at the gate ( this will be helpful when you change the plane and lay over)
    Carry some activity toys or books to keeps them busy in the plane
    Please carry some warm clothes for them, usually it gets cold in plane.
    They do provide kid's meal in the plane.
    If they are using diapers, you may want to carry enough of them and wipes

    These are the things that came to my mind
    Have a great trip and enjoy your stay in India

    For ear pressure try to feed them during take off and landing like allow them to sip water from sippy cup or bottle so it will relieve the ear pressure

    No Kalpana, please donot give any medicine to sedate them, its not good. Ear pressure as advised by catgol, give them water or milk to suck, or give them raisins to chew which will reduce the pressure. Kids often tend to sleep more in Plane due to the white noise so do not worry .
