Baby's First Flight on Ryanair

Taking a 7 week old baby on a Ryanair flight was a bit nerve wracking, but ended up being easy. It was £25 each way to add an infant to your lap, that gives you two check in items (his pram and car seat) and a carry on nappy bag. We only checked the pram in just before boarding so that he could chill in there at the airport (we had a 4 hour wait because of delays) then I had the sling on hand for carrying him on and off the plane. I was worried his ears might hurt on take off and landing, but I had a dummy, my boobs and even some pre made formula in a bottle just incase my boobs decided to stop working (this has never happened but I was prepared for everything 🤣) so that he was sucking constantly to prevent the pressure build up. He’d never gone more than a few hours without having a complete breakdown about something, so I was prepared to be “that” woman with the screaming child, but he chilled out for the whole 3 hours! When we were getting off the plane, people around us commented that they hadn’t realised there was a baby in front of them as he was so quiet! He has been the most chilled out baby ever since (the flight fixed him 👌🏻). He was clearly just missing travel like his mama 😆 • • •
