long plane ride with 2 month old..

My baby girl and I are flying back to the states to visit in September... a 14 hour plane ride..  Indifferent 

It's the first time I've flown with her.. and I bottle feed her.  This may be a dumb question, but how do I warm her bottle on the plane?  Would the stewardesses have warm water they could fill her bottle with for me?  I really think I'm just freaking out about this whole traveling with her by myself...

    You'll be fine. I traveled with DS at 6 weeks and at 4 months, and 6 weeks was easier. She'll probably sleep most of the time.

    As for the bottle - they will have hot water, they serve tea, don't they? You may have to wait for it to cool down a little, but it'll be there.

    I'm sure you already know this, but pack way more formula/diapers/changes of clothes than you think you'll need in case you get delayed. Have a good trip!

    First, there will be hot water on board. So don't worry aboutthat.

     

    Second, as PP stated, double the amount of diapers you think you need. And bring at least 3 extra cha ges of clothes. I was on a flight where a sweet 3 yo got sick 3times. Mom only had 1 extra shirt. Yeah..... And SHE only had one change of clothes too! Yeah.....

    Third, have a bigg bottle ready to go BEORE take off. The plane starts pressurizing as soon as they close the door, not at the actuall take-off.

    I recently flew with my 2 mo old.  Granted, it was a 2 hour flight, but I agree with pp's that you'll be fine!  Don't get too stressed if your LO fusses, babies do that!  My baby slept the entire 2 hour flight and I was able to doze a little too-- the white noise from the engine works miracles.
