Hi Flossie

Alex has been flying since he was 3 1/2 months old - in fact next week he is about to go on his 6th plane trip! It really is no hassle travelling with a baby, only thing is that it is hard is to eat your own food so I recommend eating before you get on the plane!

As for the babies, yes definitely feed on the way up and down whether it be breast, formula or water even. If you are formula feeding what I recommend is having your bottle ready with the water already boiled from home and still warm (I usually do it just as I am about to leave for the airport) and have the formula premeasured already in a container. Prepare the bottle when on the plane getting ready for take off, it should then still be warm enough without having to reheat it. If it is too cool, just be warned that planes do not have microwaves, they warm up the bottles in hot water so therefore it can take a little longer to heat up. In other words dont give the attendants the bottle at the last second thinking it will only take 30 secs to warm up!

At that young age your bub should be content just to lie in your arms and hopefully sleep.

Good luck with it all, I am sure that you will have a fabulous weekend!
