First time flying w LO

bellamatson · February 2014

Maddox is 8 weeks today, & we are flying to Oakland from Phoenix tomorrow. (1.5 hours)

I'm looking for advice to make this easier for him, and me. Lol

Any tips on certain things i should bring?

I'm mobile so I can't figure out how to look up past threads

Flying with a newborn is easy compared to flying with a toddler. If you are breast feeding, nurse during take off and landing. Or provide a pacifier. You can gate check the stroller and car seat. And you may be able to wear LO in a carrier through security.

No tips other than bring extra clothes and make him suck on something during take off and landing. Good luck and have a safe flight

Good luck! I'm flying at the end of March with my lo and 4 yo. I have found it's easier to use my stroller up to gate-especially in busy airports- sometimes they direct you through to a better security line! Although, I'm bringing my ergo to wear on the plane. And I always try to book a direct flight if possible-for the extra $ it costs, it's a lot less stress!

Bring extra clothes for yourself, too. BIL had to try to clean baby poop off his clothes mid flight. No fun.
