Great tips!! Flying with a baby is stressful, but it can be done successfully. I promise.
Thank you Tracie!
I am glad you had a good trip with the baby! This list will come in handy for many new mothers!
Thanks for the comment Tabitha! Yes, the flight was much better than I anticipated. I’m glad I did my research!!
Oh I remember those days! we always made sure we had a pacifier, the sucking helped with their ears. My oldest one always did well flying, my youngest one, a whole different story. She cried on a flight for so long that when she finally quit, the passengers started clapping!
The sucking or eating during take off/landing really does make a huge difference for those little ears!! Thanks for visiting.
Those are some awesome tips! I never traveled with my kids as babies but this would have came in handy.
Glad you liked the tips Kristi!
We always tried to fly later at night so that our daughter would fall asleep. We chose the 8pm flights. Gave her a bottle on take off and covered her car seat with a blanket. Worked every time!
Great idea Christina! I always try to plan around baby’s nap times too — and the bottle or feeding during take off/landing helps a ton!
The first time I flew with my little one she was just a few days shy of 2 months. I thought I had everything I needed for the 6 hour flight. I pretty much had most of the things you’ve listed. What I didn’t have was an extra hand to help zip my pants. From that day on I learned to fly wearing a dress, skirt, or sweats. Happy SITS day.
Oh Andrea! I totally feel your pain – I had to travel one-way alone and my gosh was it a challenge when the little one got antsy! An extra pair of hands would have helped a ton!
I always loved that stroller gate check option! We use it now with our booster seats so we don’t have to deal with baggage claim.
Thanks for the comment Kimberly. Gate check in option is fantastic!!
WONDERFUL advice. Having toys is HUGE! Thank you! And Happy SITS Day!
Glad it was helpful Lynne. Thanks for visiting!
Hi Ana! Paying you a visit from The SITS Girls. Very good article on traveling with baby. Sometimes other passengers forget when they were children or when their kids were young and are not so patient with others who have a little one with them, so taking with all the necessary items to care for your child, to keep him entertained and to make the trip enjoyable, will surely relieve you and your husband from stress and from having to deal with complaints from others around you.
I never flew with any of my 4 kids, but seems like you’ve got the bases covered. Happy Sits day!
Stopping by from the SITS FB page – great tips! My kids are now tweens but I flew several times with my oldest when he was an infant because I lived in a different state from my family. I ended up carrying him in a sling and using the stroller to carry my bags, etc. Then I’d gate check the stroller and only have to carry the bags down the aisle. He’s 12 now, he can carry his own stuff and it is nice! 🙂
I love the look of your blog – very attractive and well arranged. These travel tips are great. I’m sure I will post on this same topic eventually and am making a note to include a link to your site. Hope your SITS day was successful.
Thanks for allowing me to share your post in my traveling with kids roundup. It will go live November 12th!
