Taking a 6 months' old baby on a long haul flight

[flawless29]

I'm considering taking my 6-month-old on a long flight (about 10 hours) in late October, I am worried that he will be crying constantly and both myself and the fellow passengers wouldn't have any sleep.

Anyone had similar experiences which they could share? It would also be good to know what can be done to make the journey a stressed-free one.

My fat fingers tonight!

Second everyone saying that 8m - 20m is hell. Do it!

Yes, I'm BF, and I've tried giving him the bottle, but he's quite fussy with it. I'd say he's on breast milk about 80% of the time, even more so during the night, which I reckon is the main worry.

Many years ago I did 2 x 13 hour flights on my own with my ds ( from new Zealand to the Uk ). It was fine, although I was breastfeeding which helped. The worst part was a 3 hour stop over at Bangkok airport with no where to feed him.
