Leaving on a jet plane

I'm going on a plane with the kiddo in less than 12 hours. First flight for her, and she picked last night to start teething...AGAIN! Ughhh. lol. We'll be at my parents, so someone cross fingers I don't have to argue too much about what my child will be eating. (aka...not 100% or even 50% solid food yet, ect. lol)

I'm just hoping the trip is painless. Ughhh. Alison has her own seat, we are in the second to last row, and I'm dressing her in a cute dress. All else, maybe she can charm folks. Who knows?

She is adorable and you will be fine.

This may be a hugely forward and inappropriate suggestion, but if you are still nursing her maybe you can do that during takeoff/landing when the pressure changes are most likely to be a stress to her. I don't know if its a possibility but just thought I would through it in incase its something that might work and help.

How long is the flight?

It's a two hour flight. I'm going to try to nurse her during take off and landing, but I have a bottle with a little water in it, just in case she's too curious about what is going on to nurse.

Just remember - you're well within your rights to threaten to never let his family see the grand kid again. In fact, just do it for fun. The crying can be a little annoying but overall it's fun for the whole family!

Good luck!

We're here. Alison did lovely. I nursed her when we got on the plane, and she was passed out by the time we took off. She woke up and got a little fussy towards the end, so I nursed her. Then we started to land, and she LOVED that. She had to look out the window. LOL.

Yay! Glad it went smoothly and how cool she enjoyed the landing :D Hope the rest of your visit is a happy one ;)

I think she impressed some folks on the flight. She was one of atleast two babies. The babies made almost no noise. There was a 4 year old however...that screamed...a lot.
