Tips For Traveling With A Baby For The First Time
Baby Hudson’s first flight! :)
A few weeks ago we went to Del Ray, Florida with our son for some rest & relaxation. It was our first time traveling with Hudson, and like any new parents, Kyle and I were nervous how he would be on the plane! To our surprise (and delight) Hudson was a dream during both flights, and no one really realized we had a baby…so how did this happen!? PURE LUCK. Lol JK…Kyle and I have a deal where I don’t do poopy diapers, but I had to change a 💩 diaper on the plane because he’s 6’4” … so he lucked out!! 😂
Get all our tips, including all the products you should get and a checklist of what to pack below!
Pro Tip: Schedule your flight as close to nap time as possible :)
Top 3 Tips:
Try to time your flight during nap time.
When the plane takes off and lands, put a bottle in their mouth! It helps so their ears don’t pop.
Don’t stress yourself out over driving to the airport and parking. If your budget allows, it’s worth it to get transportation or have a friend/family member drive you, so you don’t waste time looking for parking and unloading your bags. Have someone drop you right off in front and check in outside of possible at curbside. We actually saw a family who couldn’t find parking and then had to park offsite and take a shuttle with little ones and nearly missed their flight. NOT worth it.
