Wasn't there a thread on this? Can't find it...
We are going on a 2 hour plane ride to Arizona tonight. Any tips or prior experiences?

what I remember reading was to nursie on take-off and landing to keep her ears from hurting.

^ Ditto to this. We are flying to Iceland in 3 weeks and I was told having the stroller almost makes it more of a pain , but I haven't experienced flying yet. The nursing or at least a pacifier is supposed to help with the pressure changes in the ears! Let us know what you learned on your first flight!

I took Aiden when he was four months and I bottle fed him breast milk during take off and landings. He slept the whole time lol. GL

We just got home from our first flight. On the way there I nursed her as we were waiting for take off and she fell asleep while we were taking off. She slept most the time and woke up so happy. Nursed her on the landing and she was great.

The flight home was kind of a wreck. She didn't know what she wanted and cried for a big chunk in the middle then finally fell asleep till we got home.
I packed some picture books and a couple of toys. this sheep was what put her out on the 2nd flight.

Cloud B Sleep Sheep on the Go : Target

Good luck!

She nursed at takeoff and slept for 30 minutes. She played the rest of the time and didnt cry.
