Traveling With An Infant On A Plane
Book your seats wisely:
If your baby is less than 6 months old, it's recommended to book a bassinet seat, which provides a small bed for your baby to sleep in during the flight. Alternatively, you can book a bulkhead seat with extra legroom, which provides more space for you to change diapers and for your baby to play.
Bring Essentials:
Pack all the necessary items for your baby, such as diapers, wipes, formula or breast milk, and baby food. It's also a good idea to bring some toys and books to keep your baby entertained during the flight.
Check Airline Policies:
Make sure to check the airline's policy regarding traveling with infants, such as the maximum weight and size of carry-on bags and strollers, and whether they provide baby food or diapers on the flight.
Be Prepared For Takeoff And Landing:
During takeoff and landing, the change in air pressure can be uncomfortable for babies, so it's recommended to feed or give them a pacifier to help ease the pressure.
Be considerate to other passengers:
Try to keep your baby calm and avoid disturbing other passengers. You can bring earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones to block out the noise.
Ask For Help:
Don't hesitate to ask for help from flight attendants or other passengers if you need assistance during the flight.
