Flying with newborn

[UntoldAngel]

Hey I kinda have the same issue. Bub is due mid-June and we are getting married late August. We are planning on Thailand for our honeymoon and taking bub with us.
I do know that there is no issues with bub's flying as long as they are healthy - my cousin got her passport and flew 'home' to Vanuatu at 2weeks old...
At least your flight will be a lot shorter than ours!

hahaha gd god im so glad we hadnt really organised anything for our wedding!! we've decided to postpone it til bub is about 1yo.

glad theres not any restrictions, just looking at flights now. hmm so his ears wont like the pressure change...

My son was fine each time we flew..but I always had him sucking just to be sure!

Good luck wiht your wedding too

Hey, I've just recently flown with my newborn and although I was soooo nervous, he was an absolute angel.

I gave him a dummy on take-off and then fed him to sleep in the air. He slept the rest of the way!

Good luck!!

There is no rule to flying with a newborn I have done it from Melbourne to Canada mmm 12 times.. i believe.

Feed when taking off and landing if you can. I personally never did either as kids were always asleep and they never had ear troubles.

Dont pack the kitchen sink you wont need it.. keep it simple and managable for you to carry

Baby Bjorn or sling is fantastic.

Keep up your fluids if you are feeding as I tended to get dehydrated on the plane.

You will do great!!

Flying with a newborn would be much easier than flying with a toddler!

You'll be fine...I'll also be doing the same when our #2 is 8 weeks old....just have to get her a passport first!

Enjoy your little holiday
