Flying with 6 month old - Where to sit?

Question

Back or front of the plane? 
I already know I’m going to wait until every gets off the plane before I do, I know it takes awhile to get the stroller from under the plane and don’t want to hold people up. 
I also know I’m going to need a window seat because my daughter likes to nap with her head on the left in my arms.

Answer

I would recommend as closer to the bathroom for diaper changes as possible. 
Also, I would recommend the aisle... That way you can easily get up to walk around if she is fussy or needs a change of scenery or diaper. 
Bring a nursing pillow for your lap if you have one. Makes holding her more comfortable whole she is sleeping, and her more comfortable sleeping too. 
I had had nose cancelling head phones for take off and landing and I nursed during those times. 
My baby was 5 months when I travelled! Went across the whole country practically, from Ontario to BC, then Alberta and back to Ontario. Flying was actually not as bad as I thought! She slept most of the time. Long flights I did at night, and she slept the whole way!!!

Answer

Here's mine sleeping on the plane. You can see the other seat across the aisle! :)

Answer

The air pressure in the cabin is better at the front of the plane compared to the back, so try sitting towards the front if possible.

Answer

I would say closes to the toilet maybe just in case. Maybe the back so you can take the stroller out easier and gives you more time to get situated with your daughter. The back is always like the last ppl to get off anyways(when I flyed) and last to get on. But sometimes if you allow the flight attends to know before hand they’ll let you on after 1st class so you can put everything away before getting in ppl way.

Answer

I formula feed and rarely use my nursing pillow.. so my question is it still worth lugging along?
