[quote=Anonymous]In my experience it's a pain to travel with a baby, and difficult to manage alone.  I recommend a backpack instead of a diaper bag because you'll have both hands free.  You can bring breast milk and get it through security these days...you just want to identify it for the TSA.  Definitely have lots for baby to drink for takeoffs and descents/landings because this will help your baby equalize pressure in their tiny little ears and save them from experiencing pain.  I always paid for a seat for my baby and installed our car seat because I believe that safety is just as much a concern in the air as on the roads.  When my baby was a little older, we started bringing a portable DVD player - a special treat to keep her occupied.  Finally, think about the timing of your flight.  I learned to avoid times when my DC was typically napping, because she wouldn't sleep on a plane and would cry hysterically.  Other babies may be lulled to sleep by moving vehicles so maybe nap time is the best time to book your flight.[/quote]
