He was cranky when we were boarding, but I nursed him as soon as we got on the plane and he calmed down. He slept for more than half of each flight. I would recommend not bringing too much luggage because it's hard to carry a baby/push a stroller and lug big heavy bags.<br /> However, if you're not a fan of flying, maybe skip it. If you dread flying, it's not going to be any better with a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-a-5-month-old#post-960382 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 16:15:26 +0000 dolphin 960382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm flying for the first time with my LO next month and she will be 7.5 months. No real advice here but all my friends tell me it's much easier to fly with a baby less than a year old, so I say go for it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-a-5-month-old#post-960375 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 16:10:36 +0000 lolabee 960375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're heading out on LO's second trip on a plane and he's 5.5 months. I'll let you know how it goes! If it's anything like his first it will be great :)</p> <p>In my opinion I figure no time is better than now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-a-5-month-old#post-960273 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 15:38:51 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 960273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 6 month old just did great on two 5 hour flights to Hawaii and back...not a peep. Two naps each way. My friends 6 month old also did well. The 17 month old had some issues. It's only going to get harder so I say do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-a-5-month-old#post-960181 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 15:15:57 +0000 tillma 960181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the opportunity to fly to Florida to see family when LO is going to be around 5 months old. This half excites me (family and warm weather after a long cold winter!) and half stresses me out. Planes have been getting more and more crowded to the point where I dread flying. Part of me thinks manuvering hours of security and airport time and then squishing a potentially fussy five month old into tiny seats along with DH and sounds less than desirable. Trying to make up our minds.... Anyone elsedone this? How did it go? </p>
