[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, don't worry about what other people think. Most of them have children or will have children or otherwise are entitled jerks. Bring your baby in business class - you get treated much better. If you can, fly Emirates or Qatar whose flight attendants will hold your baby while you go to the bathroom or when your arms need a break. Also, be aware that even in business class, some old fat guy will have decided he needs the bassinet row so make sure you check in early and get the bassinet double confirmed.

They have bassinets in business class because they expect people, even in the expensive seats, to procreate.

Finally, get a yoyo or other stroller that can fold up and go into the overhead compartment. Worth every penny to not have to hold the baby all the way to and from the gate (In Doha and Singapore, that's a very long walk!) and even if you want to hold the baby, you can put your carryon in it and walk like a civilized person rather than an overloaded bag lady.

Oh, finally, finally, pack a bunch of different textured toys that maybe your baby has never seen before or not recently. If your baby is awake (and the sound of the airplane usually lulls a baby to sleep) but when she is awake, having some thing to hold and look at is super helpful. Much better than the baby trying endlessly to play with the remote for the tv while you just want to finish the last ten minutes of your movie. [/quote]
