And now here I am having just booked my flight to Florida for Dominic and I. My parents are driving down there and will be gone for a few weeks and they were kind enough to invite us down. All we had to do was pay for a flight and everything else would already be covered since they would already be there. I have a lot of points with my credit card so I didn't even have to pay for the flight. Dave would have come with me, but that's another story. So now in about a month I will be flying to Florida alone with Dominic who will be 7 months by then. I'm terrified. All I can picture is him screaming for 3 hours (luckily I managed to get a flight with no layovers). Even knowing he's a great baby and doesn't make too much of a fuss at any time. He only really cries when he's tired. But what if he can't get to sleep on the plane?!
Logistically I don't even know how it will work getting everything I need onto the plane including Dominic and myself. My parents luckily are driving down so at least will be able to take some stuff down there with them, but a baby still requires a lot of stuff for the trip down there.
Any tips on travelling with babies would be much appreciated!
Make sure he is chewing, sucking or something on take off and landing. Lowers the chances that his ears will bug him. Make lots of jokes to the people around you about how you have no idea how he will react and it should be interesting. Lastly I thought the same things as you and I prepared for the worst and hoped for the best. You will be good to go and don't worry about forgetting something you can buy there.
ReplyDeleteJust go with the flow and know the hardest part is getting through the airport as they make you take his shoes off, out of the stroller ect. Just in case you are hiding a bomb in there lol.
Lastley you will find the humor in it once the trip is over like I did. I must have looked like the biggest loser running through the airport dragging so much and Sofia saying weee all the time. Super stressful but now I find it funny.
