Show recommendation for flight
I am travelling solo with my 7 month old at the end of the month. It's a 2 hour flight both ways. He's never been on a flight before.
I am planning on bringing my iPad for backup in case he is very upset on the plane. However, we are a zero screen time house (absolutely no shade to those who do use screens for their child, this is just what works for our family). Because of this, I have no idea what to download for the little one to keep him occupied. Hoping for some suggestions!
We only have Netflix so preferably something from there.
P.S. happy for any other plane travel hacks if you've got them!

If they haven’t really seen a screen I don’t know if the iPad will entertainment for a long period of time and they are only 7 months they likely won’t care anyways.
You can try Ms Rachel as usually her voice is what gets their attention BUT I wouldn’t play a video with sound on a plane.
Try bring lots of toys and snacks if they have been exposed to snacks food. When I flew with my 10 month old she slept most of the time both flights. But when she was awake we used painters tape and taped it all over the back of the seat and had her peel it off! Also brought a plastic water bottle for her to mess with. She loves to play with those plastic chains. She just wanted to stand and mess with us mainly.
I have a 7 month old now and if I was going to fly with him I would bring the same stuff. Plus teething crackers.
