It was fine she slept most of the flight. Then she flew about once a month after that we no problems. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-choose-to-fly-with-baby#post-2089600 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 14:32:10 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2089600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The younger the better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-choose-to-fly-with-baby#post-2089594 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 14:25:23 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2089594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am due in August and we already have tickets booked for vacation when baby will be give or take 10wks! We also plan to travel again for Thanksgiving just 4 wks after that... But maybe we are crazy! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-choose-to-fly-with-baby#post-2089557 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 13:43:48 +0000 Beehive 2089557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just waited until the 2 month shots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-choose-to-fly-with-baby#post-2089490 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 11:30:21 +0000 californiadreams 2089490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think either of those would be fine, I went on my first solo road trip with LO (6 hours) at 3 months and that has been the easiest trip I probably ever did with him (he is 2 now!). We flew with him at 5 months and it was also relatively easy. I say under 6 months is good because they sleep a lot and you don't have to worry about any food other than milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-choose-to-fly-with-baby#post-2089468 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 10:52:24 +0000 MamaBehr 2089468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I flew with a 3 month old and a 10 week old (different babies) and they didn't get sick. I just nursed them and when they fell asleep I kept the nursing cover on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-choose-to-fly-with-baby#post-2089465 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 10:48:26 +0000 Freckles 2089465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's first flight was when she was 3.5 months and she was a dream. On the way back at 4.5 months, ugh...it was bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-choose-to-fly-with-baby#post-2089351 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 07:11:30 +0000 lady grey 2089351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took several long flights with my son when he was 3.5 months old and it's the easiest time we've ever had flying with him. He just slept and nursed the entire time. Go for it!<br /> Oh and it was also in Sept. No issues with colds, just bring lots of Purell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-choose-to-fly-with-baby#post-2089327 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 02:32:18 +0000 MrsRcCar 2089327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We travelled to see DH's family before E had his four month shots. Both of my kids did great for the flight. We took carriers for both and wore them both in the airport. I would do it again. ;) have fun and don't travel for the holiday, it makes everything so much more stressful and un-fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-choose-to-fly-with-baby#post-2089321 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 02:01:22 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2089321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I flew with both my kids when they were about 3.5 months. Babywearing helped protect from germs and people who might want to try to go near them. In terms of flying/traveling - it was really easy since they weren't mobile and slept a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-choose-to-fly-with-baby#post-2089283 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 23:20:33 +0000 littlejoy 2089283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Age wise, I'd travel in November. But, travel logistics wise, I'd do earlier to avoid crowds and extra stress. The good news is that flu season doesn't start for 1.5-2 months after. Babies are pretty easy to fly with (under 6 months). Best wishes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-choose-to-fly-with-baby#post-2089276 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 22:59:57 +0000 Corduroy 2089276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad I'm not alone in preferring the Sept /3.5 month trip. I have a list of reasons but I honestly wasn't sure if I was just leaning harder that way because I don't want to spend Thanksgiving with the in laws. Pregnant me is pretty selfish and has trouble evaluating things objectively. They are coming out for Christmas so we'll still be spending a holiday with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-choose-to-fly-with-baby#post-2089265 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 22:29:44 +0000 ALV91711 2089265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time I flew with DS was about 3.5 months and it was good. I'd say go before the holiday travel starts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-choose-to-fly-with-baby#post-2089248 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 22:06:54 +0000 MamaCate 2089248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would much rather avoid holiday travel craziness if you can! 3.5 months should be fine and less crowded if you are worried about germs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-choose-to-fly-with-baby#post-2089220 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 21:40:43 +0000 jedeve 2089220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately shots won't prevent colds. :bummed: I like not visiting on holidays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-would-you-choose-to-fly-with-baby#post-2089215 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 21:29:41 +0000 Corduroy 2089215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying to decide when to take the next trip to see the in laws. LO2 is due in June and I will be on maternity leave until mid-October. </p> <p>Not sure if waiting for four month shots would be a good idea since I think more people have colds in November and holiday travel is crazy. </p>
