Upcoming flight with a 10.5 month old

Husband and I practice low screen parenting however we have our first long haul flights with our baby coming up soon. He will be 10.5 months old. It’s a 10 hour flight + 2 hour layover + 4 hour flight to destination and the same in reverse two weeks later.

Any tips on how to survive? Unfortunately we will be in economy and baby will be on our laps.

Husband just wants flights to be the one time we allow unlimited screentime for our sanity (and unlimited baby mum mums lol), and I’m not necessarily against the idea, but just thought to reach out to this community if they have any other suggestions or tips 😊

Original Blues Clues?

I just wanted thoughts on the OG blues clues (with Steve). My husband has been out of town for a family emergency lately and I’ve been by myself. My 13 month old is sleeping terribly because I think she’s about to start walking and I just need some time in the morning to consume my caffeine before the tantrum about not helping her walk around the house starts. We were doing little bear but I think it’s a little old for her as she doesn’t really seem interested in it. I did however find the original blues clues season and have been watching one or two episodes in the morning just to get my freaking life together. Since I’ve been watching it with her I don’t think I’ve notice any kind of overly stimulating themes or patterns but I’m also watching half dead so I wanted some feedback on what everyone else thinks about the original few seasons of blues clues. I’ve seen some of the new seasons before in other settings and it seems way more overwhelming than the original seasons were so I’m sticking with the OG’s.

TIA
