Taralee, we have been flying back and forth from Karratha to Perth since Alexander was 2 months old. The flights arent as scary as they seem to be! Whatever you do dont worry about other people, most people wear headsets and cant even hear the baby anyway!

As for recommendations....feed on the way up and on the way down as this helps with the babies ears popping. If they wont feed then a dummy might suffice instead. I also try to time it so that Alex will have a sleep on the plane, even if it means sometimes he is a bit grizzly as we get on becuase he is overtired as I have stretched him out IYKWIM? The upside to this is that quite often after a feed he will then go straight to sleep.

I also recommend that you make sure you have something to eat and drink before getting on the plane because sometimes it can be a bit fiddly for you especially if you are by yourself.

Good luck I am sure it will be fine.
