Abroad with 10 week old baby

Super easy age to travel 😊

I took my older daughter away for a week when she was 9 weeks old. It was the easiest flight with a child I have ever had! Definitely don’t let the age put you in off, a flight with children will never be so easy as they don’t want to be running around at that age. Just try and feed them during take off and landing to ease any pressure on their ears.
I on the other hand won’t be going on a plane until my baby this time is 10 months old, this will be a difficult age for flying as he may be crawling at that point and won’t understand when I tell him to sit down 😂🤦‍♀️ xx

Would love to hear any thoughts on this. Those that have said yes, are you not worried about the risk of for example measles depending on where you're going? The baby is so young at 10 weeks. Obviously this is a personal choice and there's no clear guidance on this as babies are cleared to fly at 2 weeks

The risk is higher in certain countries so the probability of contracting something is higher x

Yes, so easy! I was on a plane to Australia with a 9 week old.

She slept most of the way, absolute dream. No sickness.

Babies are just as likely to get measles here in London! My youngest went on his first flight about 11 weeks old but his sister was a daycare kid so he could have gotten germs off her.

Both kids have been travelling on planes about once a month since they were newborns, both are vaccinated and both have totally normal strong immune systems. My eldest got Covid at home when 3 months old and just shrugged it off and infected US 🤣

I think it depends on the baby tbh. I would’ve but not with my baby. She was a really hard newborn and it was tough for me
