We flew to Perth with our (then) 10 week old baby in November...we drove Wagga to Canberra then flew direct to Perth. I must admit it was the worst thing we could have done... It was horrible!! Riley was great on the plane but once we were in Perth his times were all stuffed up and because we were sharing a house with 9 adults and were out and about so much all our feeds etc were mucked up. Riley has very bad reflux though and at the time wasn't on medication so he was screaming most of the day from 7 am to 10 pm (that's over now that he's on medication though!).

Anyway I know some people have good experiences but mine was terrible...it took about 3 weeks to get back into some sort of a routine back home too and Riley wouldn't go to sleep till about 2 or 3 am each night for a while... Sorry for the horror story but I said that I would make sure others know it's not always great (because I was told it would be so easy).

Still, having a bub is well worth the hassles and pain so don't let my horror story stop you trying!!
