Flying with a baby?

Question

I'm a FTM and have only flown once before so I'm kind of inexperienced with the whole thing. My baby will be 6 weeks going on 7 weeks old and I have no idea how to prepare. I'm breastfeeding but I don't like breastfeeding in public so would it be smart to take my frozen milk with me? I'm so stressed out and we haven't even bought the ticket yet. It'll be with southwest...if that matters. The flight is 1.5 hours but I'll be there for a week.

Answer

Have you looked into a Boba style of wrap? this would make maneuvering through the airport hands free so you can pull your luggage behind you. there are YouTube tutorials how to nurse and wear a Boba style of wrap simultaneously!

Answer

A baby so little will likely sleep the whole way. I flew when my kid was 5 months and she still slept on all but one of the flights. I just breastfed her at takeoff and she would sleep the rest of the way. Personally, I would def just plan to breastfeed on the plane. I used a cover and it was fine, nobody noticed or cared. Im sure everyone on board would prefer a breastfeeding mom to a crying baby!
