Traveling with my 3m old

Remember there's a liquid limit on the plain so maybe get lots of multiple bottles of 50ml of milk ready and then when u are through security combine it into 1 bottle.

Also definitely bring calpol and give it to little one 30 mins before take off. Bring blankets to comfort them and hold them tight.
Have them wear dummy clips so they won't drop or u won't loose the dummy. It's gonna be a life saver.
Brings loads of nappies and clothes and cream. Again if Ur using sudo cream, maybe. But the little pots or the small tubes of sudo cream.

Charge Ur phone so they can be entertained while on the flight if they don't sleep through.
Prepare for lots of crying. It's a scary experience.

Find a way they can sleep on a flat and clean surface

Watch some videos on YouTube that may help. People blog all the time about tips and tricks to help them fly with brier baby: one example is this one : https://youtu.be/W6luCPC7asg?si=G6M5Ws7DT9J-aDGL

I flew with my 3 month old and he loved it.He was smiling at everyone around him. There is no limit on how much milk you bring. I just fed him on take off and landing and he was fine! Enjoy 😊

I recently flew with my three month old and it was fine. I wore her in a baby carrier through the airport and on/off the plane which made life a lot easier. I’m breastfeeding and tried to feed her for take off/landing but she wasn’t interesting and wasn’t bothered by it. She doesn’t have a dummy so we don’t have that option. The only thing she got annoyed with was the lack of space and she cried a bit but nothing bad and she went to sleep on her dad’s chest after playing her white noise through a phone (though we don’t let her look at screens). Once awake, she was happy and enjoyed looking out the window, being fussed over by other passengers and looking at the safety information card (I think because it was high contrast)! We didn’t use blankets as it was warm on the plane. I don’t agree with giving Calpol unless they are actually ill. The flight crew and other passengers were lovely. If you’re bottle feeding, pretty sure there’s no liquid limit. You’ll be fine x

Hi i flew in September with my then 8 week old. No liquid limit for babies. My little one loved it. Feed on take off and landing. I put ear defenders on my little girl during this part too. They tend to sleep during the flight and when they are awake they are looking around

We flew for the first time a couple if weeks ago. My top tip is to pack your baby carrier in your hand luggage. Worked wonders when she was overtired but couldn’t fall asleep because of the new environment

Did you guys leave the bassinet as a check in luggage or drop it at the gate?

I traveled with my LO by myself the other week. In addition to these great tips above, have a bag (plastic or canvas) which you can put your essentials in under your seat. I had a big nappy bag and put in my other bag: nappy changing stuff, spare tummies, muslin and blanket, toys and bottles/milk for the flight. As I was on my own, it meant I didn’t need to get up for anything from my bag.

Ps. We flew EasyJet with hand luggage only and they let you check two large items for infants (such as pram, travel cot, car seat, etc) into the hold for free. We didn’t take any of the above but got a car seat travel bag and put her Sleepyhead nest in it plus all her clothes and other stuff; basically used it as hold luggage and they didn’t look inside or even question what was in there at either airport. Haven’t checked if other airlines allow this or not but would imagine some do

Hey I just got back from holiday Monday and some tips- take us much milk as you need there is no limit for baby milk but they will test it so allow extra time! We gave half a dose of calpol just before the flight and she was an angel just make sure you have a dummy or bottle for baby on take off/ landing. My baby girl loved it x

There is no liquid limit for milk so if you can take the ready made bottles you can buy.. but if you do take plenty as I got a couple taken off me after they’d been through the scanner

Thank you all so much for the helpful tips 😊

We took some baby books, finger puppets, fidget spinners that stick to the window and back of seat in front, also some bells and rattles for entertainment. We are flying again on Monday and hoping to have another successful flight.
Bring a water bottle for yourself with an easy to drink cap so if you’re doing things one handed it’s easier. Also snacks for yourself.
We also use a carrier through the airport. No limit on milk, you may be able to do click and collect in boots at the airport airside for formula etc. we had no issues with baby creams and vitamin drops in our changing bag. Also took hand gel.
We packed zip lock bags with nappy/nappy bay and change of clothes. Just to make it easier. Also packed a spare top and leggings for myself in case of an explosion.
