Traveling by plane

Hello! I’m currently 29 weeks and on week 32 I have a trip to Italy, the airline has a document that must be filled by a doctor or a midwife (fit to fly) but when I asked the midwife she told me she was not allowed to do that and yesterday that I called the GP they told me that they won’t sign it for me!!😭 Help! Who do I have to ask for the signature then?

Hey, your midwife have a form called fit to fly, its generic. I recently fly to Italy and they didn't ask me anything 😅

It’s probably because if anything happens they don’t want to be held accountable, my friend at 32 weeks was rejected by the airline, I’d rebook the holiday sis x

Yes, midwife should be able to do this. I went on a plane this week at 29 weeks and will be coming back when I'm 32. I asked my midwife for a fit to fly document and they did it straight away with both of my flying dates. I would recommend that you print the document before flying as well as I only had it on my phone and they wanted it printed off.

I traveled when I was 27 weeks pregnant and at the airport on my way back to uk they’ve asked for a letter which I had luckily. I would definitely ask your gp again, I asked for a letter mentioning due date, gestational date on my way there and way back and that my previous scan showed that I have a healthy pregnancy.

Why do some parwnt wean their babies before 6 months?

Just genuinely curious, no hate. I just don't understand.

Like there's a mum in my babies group posting about wanting to start giving her 3 month old purees?

I had my friend round the other day and she was all "are you going to bother waiting until 6 months?"

I just thought it was standard to wait until baby could sit up straight etc?

I know there are some people that start at 4 months, but I never really understood why? Is there medical reasons? Or any other benefit to weaning earlier? Also how do you feed a 4 month old if they can't sit steadily in a high chair?

Aubrey

Decided on the name Aubrey for my girl but a lot of people keep telling me that ‘Aubrey’ is the boy way of spelling the name.
What way would you spell it if you were having a girl? UK based❤️
