Tips for flying with infant

[ShooterG]

Mine didn’t want the headphones, snacks, etc we brought. She just enjoyed finding every dog in the skymall magazine for 3 hours.
FYI- flying with an infant allows you to bring food and beverage for the child - and they can’t tell you what your kid can eat and drink. We brought all the snacks and cokes we wanted from home.

Benadryl and booze. Worked for us through 2 infants flying and no one knew my wife had two infants or a husband on the plane.

Just leave him in the closet with a bowl of food and water. Should be fine when you get back.

Unless it is an international adoption or some medical necessity, I can not see a reason for infants on a plane.

Just as other said...

- bottle or pacifier to help with pressure changes
- keep them awake to increase chance of naps in-air
- bring whatever might occupy them (my kid loves watching Disneys Moana, so we have it on iPad)
- more clothes and diapers handy than you'll think you need
- change of clothes for whoever is managing the kid on the plane.

My 14mo old son has 9 segments under his belt and it's been relatively hassle free for all parties.
