How can I prepare for a flight with my infant?

Preparing for a flight with an infant involves several steps. First, make sure to pack essentials like diapers, wipes, and snacks. Have a comfortable carrier or stroller for the airport.

What should I do about feeding during the flight?

It's a good idea to feed your infant during takeoff and landing to help with ear pressure. Bring enough formula or breast milk, and consider snacks for older infants.

Are there any tips for keeping my baby calm during the flight?

Yes! Bring their favorite toys or blankets, and try to keep a routine similar to home. Walking up and down the aisle can also help.

What about the security process at the airport?

At security, you'll need to take your baby out of the stroller or carrier. Be prepared to have their items screened separately, and check with your airline for any specific guidelines.

Can I bring a car seat on the plane?

Yes, you can bring a car seat if you have a purchased seat for your infant. Make sure it's FAA-approved and fits properly in the aircraft seat.
