taking baby on a plane

We are taking 3 month-old A on a plane next week.  Just a 2 hour flight, but our first with baby.  what extra supplies do we need?  Is that bag for the carseat worth it?

any other travel tips other than BF on take off and landing?

TIA

Re: taking baby on a plane

  • We will be flying with E in may. He'll be five months then. We are borrowing a carseat bag. I plan on taking the carseat all the way to the gate bc if they have an open seat they will supposedly let you use it on board. I would make sure you have plenty o

  • Oh!  and how/where do you change a baby on the plane!!!???!?!??

    those bathrooms are so tiny...

    DH was joking we'd use the tray table, but I'm having trouble thinking of a better spot!

    we just have regular seats, not the exit rows

  • You can't sit in an exit row with a baby. They have changers that fold down above the toilet in the bathrooms. It's tight, but it works. We had a seat for Serafina, since it was a longer, cross-country flight, so we brought the car seat snapped into the s

    Baby N conceived after 1 miscarriage and more than 2 years of TTC. Diagnosis was low sperm count. We found success after 3 months of anastrozole to increase DH's testosterone and one IUI.

  • Not all airplanes have changing tables in the bathroom, but ask the flight attendant if they do and which one it is.  Very small table that folds down over the toilet, but doable.

  • Perhaps I am totally mistaken, but the last flight I was on in summer I was beside a woman and her 5 month old and they told her she couldn't BF her daughter as she had to be held upright.  Does it depend on the airline? (I plan on flying when our ba
