Managing baby at airport without DH

[PollyA]

Hey,
i Have travelled a lot solo with my 2 (only one at a time mind you) at various ages.
10 months is actually a nice age
If you can borrow and Ergo I would highly recommend it
Going to the toilet is not easy but possible/
You can either get your pants down and then put bubs on your knee while you do the deed (this would be my preference) or it is possible with the sling on
CLothes without buttons and zips are therefore easier
Pack some essentials in a small bag that will fit under the seat in front of you, nappies, wipes, toys, food etc, and it needs to zip up so you could get it with your feet if possible. And everything you're taking on the plane should fit into one bag. I have been a packhorse a couple of times and it makes everything harder. If everything, including your handbag, just fits into a backpack then you can have bub on the front, gear on the back. Just a word of warning, you will nee to take bub out of the sling going through the security check (this has been the only time I cried, was on my own, 3 months old baby in a hug a bub which is only t-shirt material, no buckles or anything and shocked as hell when i need to take him out- the security guard just held him for me as I got everthing ready again)
You'll be pleasantly surprised!
