Hi Girls-
DH has a training in Florida at the end of the month, so DD and I are going to try to join him, as long as her passport gets her in time. I am sooo ready to spend some time in the states shopping at Target, BabiesRUs, and the mall and eating at Olive Garden, Sonic and Cracker Barrel (it's the very basic American things you miss when living overseas).
Anyway, we will obviously have to fly back (on a 15 hour flight-ugh). Just wondering if you have any tips, suggestions, tricks, etc for flying with an infant. She'll be just over 2 months old when we travel. I know to nurse her on take off/landing (and in between of course) and I bought travel bags for the carseat/stroller to try to protect them since they will get gate checked. Any other great ideas? What did you pack- how much did you have on board and how much in luggage? Anything else you brought or didn't bring that you needed/didn't really need?
Re: Traveling with an infant
I think that's such an easy age to travel with, good luck!!
I would just make sure to have lots of changes of clothes for her and a change of clothes for you. I also think at that age it's easiest to put them in a sling to go through security and check strollers and carseats at the ticket counter.
Just remember, if you forget something, there will be a target or somewhere to get stuff.
