I just got back from visiting my family in Mexico it was about a 3 hour plane ride each way (baby will be 3 months on Wednesday)

Best advice I’d give u is try your best to relax! I was so stressed about it & anxious but really once you are in the plane there is nothing u can really do lol

*People will tell you to schedule it during their nap time but honestly with all the noises it doesn’t matter.

*baby wear for sure! Huge lifesaver. We didn’t buy an extra seat on the plane for her car seat bc in Mexico we didn’t need it so I just carried her

*feed & change diaper before you board (seams like a no-duh thing but ensuring enough time Esp if baby is breastfeed is crucial when flying)

*people will tell u to BF at takeoff/landing but my baby just sucked on her paci or was passed out lol so I didn’t wake her 🤷🏻‍♀️ she didn’t seem bothered by it

***we did have a meltdown 😖 on the way back bc baby girl peed approx 30 min after takeoff. We tried to comfort her in every way but she was screaming, people were staring it was a nightmare lolololol had to quickly change her on top of our legs (the bathrooms have a changing table too BUT I barely fit in the bathrooms lol so that would have been uncomfortable 🥵) eventually she calmed down & it was cool

We didn’t take toys, no need there’s lots of stimulation for them to be distracted. Just keep your cool, you know what your baby needs. Have a good flight! ✈️
