Tips for Flying with a Baby

Flying with a baby is so much easier than it seems, once you are prepared! ⬇️ 🍼 Be ready to feed on take off and landing. Sucking will help equalise their ears so they don’t get any discomfort. 👕 Dress them comfortably and have a familiar blanket handy to get them cosy on the plane. 💩 Have nappies and a change of clothes ready at the top of the bag. We always had a spare outfit in a zip lock bag, ready to switch with any soiled clothes. 💺Book seats at the front or back of the plane and aim to be the last on and first off! Don’t worry if you’re in the middle, wait for everyone to get off before you make your move - chances are you will be fast tracked through security with a baby. 👶🏻 A baby carrier / sling is essential to free up your hands, especially if you’re travelling alone. Have you travelled with a baby before? How did it go?!
