Definitely try and feed during take-off and landing. It helps relieve the pressure in their ears. If bubs won't take milk, try water or a dummy. It is the sucking that helps.
Just to let you know, you are more likely to be put in the back of the plane with the other parents/kids. If there is a baby who is distressed, that may distress your little one so make sure you have some SMALL toys like rattles, keys etc to try and distract bubs.
Finally, ask the person at the counter (if that is how you are checking in) if it is possible to have a spare seat next to you. That way you can lay bubs down (once you move the armrest), sit sideways and play if you need to. It makes life SO much easier.
Thanks for all the great advice, I've made notes. I didn't even think about isle seats or window seats but thinking about it now I can see how being able to get up quickly wold help when changing etc.
