Glad to hear it went well! We are headed on our first flight in a few days and I'm soooo nervous, LO is 6months and going through a bit of a screaming phase eek!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-your-lo#post-67727 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 21:49:00 +0000 chopsuey 67727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Merci! :D@artbee: Yeah it's pretty nerve wracking leading up to the trip, but just expect the worst and hope for the best! Trips under 4 hours are the best. Anything longer is a little tortuous :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-your-lo#post-67715 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 20:47:05 +0000 heffalump 67715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad it went well! I'm excited to hear everyone's good advice ...I still have 5 months before lo's first flight but I'm already nervous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-your-lo#post-67705 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 19:25:19 +0000 mrbee 67705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: What a relief!

I didn't nurse at take off, but did at landing.. If you have an iPhone/iPad that might be helpful too! I didn't have to pull ours out, but had it on hand just in case. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-your-lo#post-67697 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:54:54 +0000 anewme 67697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: any tips? I'm traveling with her for the first time in a week, for 3.5 hours' she's going to be 11 months. I'm petrified!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-your-lo#post-67689 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:49:06 +0000 mrsjyw 67689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: enjoy your time in TX!! good to hear that M did so well! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-your-lo#post-67688 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:47:52 +0000 Rubies 67688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have fun!!!<br /> LO will go on her first flight at 6.5 months and I'm SO stressed out about it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-your-lo#post-67685 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:46:47 +0000 chopsuey 67685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay! Just landed! 2.5 hour flight and LO was SO good! Phew! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-your-lo#post-67659 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 16:00:39 +0000 sulli301 67659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: I haven't flown with DD yet but I think a family section should be an option! Great idea :) haha I'd pay more too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-your-lo#post-67644 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 15:25:46 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 67644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We fly alot with Little Jacks. She knows she gets a new toy for each flight and that helps alot. We also bring some of her favorite books and of course crayons! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-your-lo#post-67620 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 14:22:05 +0000 BoogieBea 67620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only during the flight. I didn't have him strapped during landing and take off because I would be nursing him. It's not the most comfortable for me to have him in the ergo but that was the ONLY way to get him to sleep. If its a short flight, I don't fly during his nap time. My daughter doesn't like sleeping in the ergo on flight though - I tried last time and didn't work.</p> <p>Lately, we've always been THAT family on the flight. I swear it's payback for all the times I've smirked at people with kids on flight. I think they always put families in the back of the plane but I wish they had a closed off family section that prevented noise from traveling to the rest of the plane. I would totally pay more for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-your-lo#post-67616 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 14:05:52 +0000 looch 67616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last flight was at 12 months, he did better than I expected, but we were prepared. We buy a seat and use the car seat, so he's always got a place to go. When I get tired from holding my son, I get stressed and can't deal, so after his first flight at 6 months old as a lap child, we buy a seat.</p> <p>I've used the Ergo inflight, my son loved it and still does well in it. Not for long periods of time, and not for take off or landing. You might not be able to use it, though, because if there's an impact while you are seated, your body weight could crush your child...no one said anything to me about it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-your-lo#post-67604 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 13:45:12 +0000 chopsuey 67604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: You put him in the ergo and had him strapped to you in flight? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-your-lo#post-67599 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 13:19:23 +0000 BoogieBea 67599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before 6 months, LO did great. 6 months to a year, it was harder but still tolerable. He always fell asleep as soon as I put him in the ergo. After a year, it just got harder and harder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flying-with-your-lo#post-67597 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 13:13:47 +0000 chopsuey 67597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO has traveled by plane twice-–at around 3 months old and at 4 months old. She did really well, but we're traveling again today and I'm really nervous! </p> <p>Now that she's older (10 months) and aware of her surroundings I have no idea how she'll do.. hoping for the best! </p> <p>Did you fly with an older infant? How was it? </p>
