First flight

I am having to take an emergency trip with my 6 month old. Anyone have any insight on how I can fly with frozen breast milk? Any tips on traveling with the baby? Thanks guys!

Have them suck on something when take off and landing to help their ears. Also tynenol in case their ears pop before takeoff

Frozen milk you can pack in a cooler and pack it in your checked in baggage for the easiest way. You are allowed to take breast milk through TSA but they say a reasonable amount so not a lot, and they do prefer you have the milk in bottles and not plastic bags since it’s easier for them to ensure it’s “safe.” I also recommend baby wearing through the airport tbh

So can I take the infant Tylenol? And what about the baby vitamin d? Or should I plan to buy some when we get there? Ugh flying is stressful enough without a baby😂 I haven’t flown in like 8 years

If you want the breastmilk to absolutely not thaw, you can pack it with dryice. You might need to get special approval for carrying it on your flight.

I think it all depends on your baby. My baby gets fussy in the car seat or stroller for too long, and he was teething when we went on our flight, aaaand had a long layover so it was a lot easier for me to wear him so he didn’t cry. Plus I was able to carry him hands free so I could pull my luggage and everything. Also when you go through tsa they checked my stroller and everything so i would have had to take him out
