Would you fly during holidays with a 1 month old?

Just wondering if anyone is planning on flying during the holidays. I'd love to go home to see everyone since this is our first X-mas away but DS #2 will only be a month old. It's only an hour and 20 min flight.

babies usually do great on flights.  It's the toddler stage that is hard to fly.  The only thing is to keep baby away from germs.

Yes as long as you think you can handle doing it with 2 kiddo's (assuming your DH is going as well).  Just the 1 month old doesn't frighten me- but the 2 year old does.

I am due in a couple of weeks and am in the same situation for the holidays.  Our pediatrician kind of frowned upon it when I asked her.  Something like some of the important shots aren't all given until that 2 month mark.  And with all the flu and swine flu going around I guess we decided it's not worth the risk at all.  Planes are dirty and it would be my luck that we would be stuck next to a bunch of people coughing all over the place.  Good luck though- it's a tough decision.  We are going to wait awhile to fly.
