First ✈️ ride! Any hacks??

Question

My husband works for the airlines so we fly on standby. We are taking our first flight since having our daughter. She will be 7 months, and it will hopefully only be a 40ish minute flight. Is there any hacks that you have found to help? I know of the breastfeeding but she doesn’t comfort feed, so I’m going to make sure I bring like 3 pacifiers.

Answer

We just flew with our 6.5 month old for the first time this week (4 hour flight). It was helpful to baby wear through security and the airport (TSA didn’t even make me take him out of the carrier although I was prepared to). I would definitely try to feed your LO during take off and landing, because mine did not handle those times well until we brought out his bottle. I’d suggest bringing lots of toys, as others have suggested. We specifically brought a couple of new ones which interested him way more than his other toys (which was the goal lol). 40 minutes shouldn’t be too bad though! 40 minutes in, my little guy was still thoroughly interested in all of the new surroundings/people around and his toys that we brought.

I just flew from NJ to Cali with our 6 month old 5-6 hrs. Honestly brought all of our teething toys to keep her busy...teething snacks...she is VERY squirmy and WAS but just kept moving her up down and brought a blanket to wrap her up and tried rocking her to sleep. Feed or binky going up n down! But 40 mins you'll be fine haha

Answer

breastfeed when flight go up and down so babies ear don’t feel uncomfortable. (: I also brought my baby’s favorite toy, a baby cracker, and tooth scratched. That tooth scratcher is life! He stops crying EVERY time no matter what. 😅🤷🏽‍♀️ cracker also makes him stop crying and keep him busy for about 10 min.
