Flying with 5 month old

I’m travelling to Ibiza with my 5 month old in July and I’m genuinely worried for the flight, she’s EBF so I can’t time her feed as she eats when she wants and usually only for 5-10mins. Is there anything I can do to make the flight abit easier? I have some ear defenders I’m just worried about her little ears popping (she also refuses a dummy🫠)

Feed on takeoff and landing, she’ll want to suck as the motion will help her ears. You won’t need ear defenders, a plane is one big white noise machine! x

Feeding on demand is perfect. Try to push it towards Start and Landing and offer a big more…
Use some hearing protection for the Noise and be relaxed yourself.

Genuine question because I’ve never been on a flight with a baby, but why is EBF an issue for a flight? Surely that’s ideal as you can latch her anytime she’s upset or anything and I can’t even imagine how you’d make a bottle of formula on a plane 😅 why would you need to time her feeds?
