[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attended my grandfather's funeral with my baby of 9 weeks. [b]Easiest trip with a baby ever - he slept the whole time.[/b][/quote] This. Unless you have a particularly colicky baby, newborns/young infants are a dream on flights. It is built-in white noise. They are not mobile. Difficulty of flying with kids is not linear. In my experience it is very very easy with a 0-4 month old, then harder but manageable with a 4-12 month old. 12 months - 18 months = pretty terrible, they want to wiggle and they're still fussy like an infant but they don't get it, and they still require you to do everything for them. Moderately difficult 18 months - 2.5 and then difficulty peaks at 2.5-3 when they are "threenagers" - everyone feels sorry for the mom with an infant, but everyone glares angrily at the mom with a screaming toddler because they think you can control it/it is your fault. 3+ is easy again because screen time, potty trained and less drama.[/quote]
