Suggestions for Baby’s First Flight

Advice

I’ll be taking my baby on a flight in a few weeks. She will be 8 months old at the time we leave.

For the mamas who have flown with their babies, any suggestions to make the experience go smoothly? Anything you wish you knew beforehand or wish you packed or bought?

My baby is (luckily) very chill and not fussy. She barely gets upset or cries (again, I know how lucky I am!) But when she does get upset… there’s absolutely no calming her down.

She loves noise and movement, so I’m thinking she may actually do well on her first flight. But am open to all suggestions and helpful tips!
