yes, we flew malaysia airlines.. they were so good. they served me first before the other passengers and helped with lakshman. they gave us some sposies and heinz baby food and some toys.
the baggage allowance is great. i took cloth to m'sia as well. and you dont have to worry about carry liquids on the plane as they are lenient when you hv a baby. you can take her water, drinks etc. it will be easier that'll she'll be 1 already. i had to take a thermos with cool boiled water for him to drink.
but the last trip i found it hard as he was so wriggly.. mj will probaby want to crawl around a bit. i got some toys and books for him, but he was most interested in teh paper cup from the loo.

yup, im going to endeveour to lose 5kgs by aug! nothing shallow abt wanting to lose weight, hun!!
im so excited for you!

oh, i know in m'sia the airport allows special check-in for parents w babies and children, you dont have to queue up. sydney airport doesnt. not sure about melb.
how long is your transit in m'sia? the aiport is big and nice..
