Flying with a baby Flying with a baby Taking a baby on an airplane can be a very unpleasant experience if you don t plan well in advance. Plan the feedings for the day so that the baby can be fed on the plane. Newborns can usually go a few hours between feedings before they really get upset.
Every parent knows that a baby is usually happiest, and many times even falls asleep, after eating.
For mothers who breastfeed, you may feel more comfortable asking for a seat in the back away from others. Obviously, if you can use a bottle, that will be one less thing you have to worry about. Bring plenty of toys. Babies don t need big animals or large toys. Toys that ring, click, or are very bright is all you need.
