Hi all,
Looking for advice/reassurance from those who’ve done it before! We’re due to fly next month with our newborn (will be 7 weeks at the time) and I’m starting to feel a bit wobbly about it. It’s a short-haul flight (about 2.5 hours), but I have visions of a screaming baby and glares from fellow passengers…
Has anyone flown with a newborn and lived to tell the tale? Any tips for keeping them settled? Planning to BF during take-off and landing to help with ears, but wondering if there’s anything else I should be doing. Also, how much faff is it getting through security with all the baby paraphernalia? We’ll have a sling and DH will be with me, so at least I won’t be juggling it all alone.
Would love to hear your experiences – be gentle, please! Feeling a bit anxious about the whole thing.
