Wow.
Well, your going to need to bring quite a lot….
Your baby is going to be bored, so he/she will eat a lot more than usual, so lots of crackers/canned toddler food, finger foods he/she can eat by themselves……
I’ve also known parents to medicated their child with Tylenol (on shorter flights) to help them sleep more, but I don’t recommend that. There are NATURAL, 100% organic tablets that help calm a child.
Books, toys he/she can chew on, and please no loud/flashy toys, that will disturb other passengers. Get NEW toys that your baby has never played with before, in addition to a few favorites, that way the baby will be busy exploring a new toy and less likely to get cranky. Ration the toys-don’t give them all at once.
Don’t wean your baby off of the bottle/pacifier before the trip-they can be useful tools in calming a baby.
Make sure to walk around as much as possible, and let the baby walk too (hold his/her hands to prevent a fall)
Good luck!

I know this is answering with another answer, but reading your question reminded me of another one I read months ago.
I have not done long-haul yet with my two (2 years and 14 months), but I did keep an answer from an ex-airline crew member in my watchlist because it was an excellent answer – far better than the official ones on baby or airline sites.
So not taking credit, but wanting to share the knowledge (knowing what a ‘challenge’ it’s going to be for you having two the same age as yours!), then here’s the link for you to read also\
Best of luck :0)
