<human>: My DH is military and we have been stationed overseas for the past three years. Shortly after we arrived I became pregnant, and our DD will be 2 in May.

We have received our orders back to the states at the end of May. For the past two years I have been fighting off relatives' pleas to visit home with the baby. "I'm not taking her on a plane!" "I don't want to be that parent." etc Well, now I have to be that parent and take her on a plane.

I've done a bit of research. Slow release carbs to make them sleepy (oatmeal, ricecakes) bring toys for "presents" for good behavior every hour. My mom bought her a [Trunki!] for Christmas and I think I was more excited for it than she was. (Her legs aren't *quite* long enough yet to push herself lol.)

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: for people who have been trapped on an airplane for 12+ hours with a two year old, what do you suggest?
