My baby is due dec 14. At the end of March I am going to with my husband and his parents to Chicago to see the rest of is family (we live in MA). Is it safe to take an infant that young and does anybody have any suggestions? (I havent been on a plane since I was 4, so I dont know what to expect) ↓

Hi there. Your baby will be three months when you travel - a perfect age to be flying with a baby. It's best to do your trips before baby can walk or crawl - it will give you more flexibility to sight see and is more relaxing. i'm sure you'll have a great time. Just tuck baby into a baby sling and have fun! ↑

I would recommend having something for the baby to suckonwhile taking off and landing. Maybe nurse, pacifier, bottle, sometimes their little ears don't handle the pressure changes so well. ↑
