Any last minute tips on flying with an infant
This is Jack's first plane ride. We will have him - and the dog - so it should be an all around circus!
Any tips at all?

Try to give him a bottle on takeoff & landing. Or use the pacifier to help with the pressure in his ears.

Re: Any last minute tips on flying with an infant
DO NOT forget a change of clothes for him and a change of shirt for you. I forgot the change going home from Hilton Head and she POOPED everywhere. Luckily, we noticed before we got on the plane and could buy her a t-shirt in the terminal. My BF husband got puked on by his DS- he was covered in puke the whole trip. An extra t-shirt for dad or mom to wear would have helped.

Re: Any last minute tips on flying with an infant
We just got back from Arizona.
We got Alex her own seat - there was a lot of turbulence and I am so glad she was safely strapped in. Also people are coughing and sneezing all over so I felt she was a bit more "protected" being in her car seat with the canopy pulled.
I tried giving her a bottle for take off and landing but she wasn't interested. But she was fine. I did make sure she had her paci to suck on tho.
Lots and lots and LOTS of Purell. Everything you touch in a plane is full of germs so you will be using it constantly - and we used it on her stroller when we picked it up too.
Bring enough formula and diapers in case you get delayed. (duh). We didn't get delayed but you never know.
And relax, he'll probably be fine! Alex slept most of the way.
Oh yeah, make a bottle before going thru security - they will lett you bring formula but not bottled water through.

Re: Any last minute tips on flying with an infant
Great tip about the change of clothes - thanks!
I have about 4 bottles that I am bringing with me (RTF) so I think that should be enough. I also have powder just in case there are crazy delays (my worst nightmare)
I am praying that he sleeps the entire time since we don't leave until 9:00 -- but that could also be a bad thing - since it's so past his bedtime.
