flying with baby for the 1st time tomorrow!
I am going to Maui with my family and am really looking forward to it, but am a little anxious about flying with baby for the 1st time - my DH is still working out of the country, but my Dad is flying with us and my best friend is coming the next day. I have tried to think of everything from how to feed her on the flight to buying everyone sitting around us drinks!!
I would so appreciate any advice if you can think of any good tips! We are going to Singapore in a few weeks to visit DH, so this will be good practice!
Wishing you all a Happy New Year - you are all such wonderful ladies and I so appreciate this board!

Re: flying with baby for the 1st time tomorrow!
First of all, Happy 3 months little C!!
I've heard that definitely feeding her during take off and landing helps and i'm sure the people around you will appreciate a drink (but i'm sure they won't need one) and also bring the paci. Here's hoping to a wonderful non-eventful flight and vacation for you all!
you never know, the sound of the engines might lull her to sleep? :O)
I just flew 4 hours last week.
sit in the aisle.
bring 3 servings of milk. use 1 large bottle to feed while at airport and when you take off. bottle should be warm since you used it a few hours ago so no need to warm. the 3rd bottle should be kinda frozen so by the time you land, it will be lukewarm and ready.
bring a blankie if he likes to be bundleded up when he sleeps.
change diaper before you board the plane. or right when you are seated.
Try to sit wy from toddlers who will wake up your baby!
Ooooh, Maui!
No advice, though I am listening to the advice you're getting. Have a great trip!
