Your bubs wil be free to fly...I suggest letting bubs suckle or if you are not BF let bubs have a bottle or dummy for take off and landing...it can jsut help with thier ears.

I have flown heaps wiht the kids and as long as they are occupied they will be fine!

Best of luck and enjoy your babay and wedding

all good - babies are ok to fly

I too have flown with both my girls - and the younger they are the easier it is!!

As boomba said - if you are breastfeeding it will be wonderful for keeping bubs settled for takeoff and landing, and for times of being unsettled

One thing that is annoying is the baby change tables in the toilets - they are tiny, and are really hard. I always took an extra wrap with me to put underneath them

HTH!!

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
