  I love my job, it gives me a break from my kids!

Good stuff, thanks for sharing. Also if you're nursing do that as long as your sitting next to someone you don't mind flashing! And for the older kids, sippy cups.

  Mother to the world's cutest ginger kid.

My son had chronic ear infections for the first year of his life, during which time we took upwards of 8 plane trips. Sometimes he was sleeping or just not hungry as he got older and the pressure still hurt him. A flight attendant told me to use the little plastic cups they give you and put them over their ears like headphones. He looked silly, but this stabilized the pressure immediately around his ears and saved us every time!!
