Traveling with a newborn

Heather • Maggie’s mom

Has anyone taken a newborn on a plane? My parents live in Florida and I would like to take advantage of my maternity leave by visiting them before it’s up in October. I’m on the fence about it right now because I dread the idea of strangers having to listen to my baby cry for the length of a 3 hour plane ride. Thoughts? My daughter will be almost 4 months by the time my maternity leave is up, if that makes a difference.
