Flying with 7 mo

swizzle458

I'm taking a five hour flight with my 7 mo. Any advice on what to pack? Experience traveling alone with a baby? He flew once at 3 months and did well on the plane. I won't have DH with me this time though and I'm a little nervous about it. He is EBF. I plan on bringing some pumped BM bottles and I'll feed him or nurse him on take off and landing. I am checking the car seat and will wear him in the airport. Any advice or travel tips with LO?  TIA

I am literally doing the exact same thing in a week. He's 6.5 months old and I won't have DH with me. He flew too at 2.5 months and did great! But he's a little curious george right now and sitting for 3 hours makes me a little nervous! Haha. I'm just gonna have a lot of bottles and his fav toys. I'm curious to see any other suggestions!

If your LO is preoccupied with cell phones or tablets...bring one with Peek A Boo farms on it. It's a great way to keep your LO preoccupied for a bit anyways. I'm sure there are other apps/games that are good.

We flew fairly recently when dd was almost six months. It was a five hour flight and she did great. The flight was super easy because everytime dd got fussy I stood up and put her in the sling and hung out in the back with the flight attendants. There was a almost a little bit of a moms club hanging out in the back bouncing babies. It really helped break up the flight by standing periodically.

We nursed on take off and landing and she had no ear issues.
