So Josie was fortunate to finally fly after her MD gave her the ok after 6 weeks. We followed the guidelines and she ate on take off and landing so that her ears wouldn't pop and she did AWESOME! On her 2nd flight, the cabin pressure changed mid flight and she started screaaaaaaming...however, every baby started screaming and people were even awakening from sound sleeps it was so bad...but it resolved! On the last lag of our second flight, we were fortunate enough to have the entire back row to ourselves so I was even able to bring the carrier on. Josie had a window seat (airplane requirements) and all of the stewards were nice enough to personally show me the infant oxygen mask location if needed. We also got to board first and even got our own line in the security checkpoint. Traveling with a baby isn't so bad!
I thought Kai did great when I flew up to DC when he was a few months old...nursing on take off and landing did the trick for us too. :)
