Go ahead and travel with an infant, it’s easier than it seems!

Remember how Tim and I went to Oregon last weekend and decided to bring our little one along for the ride?

Actually, I barely remember it at this point because the week has seemed long and our trip seems like it was forever ago. 

Is it time for another vacation yet?! Please say yes.

Well, basically I just wanted to let all of you know that traveling with an 11 week old was surprisingly easy, and I would venture to guess that traveling with an even younger baby would have been easy as well.

When we originally planned the trip I was a little hesitant to purchase the tickets because I just didn’t know how traveling with such a little baby would be. It’s stressful to plan out events when there’s a small baby involved! However, I’m so, so, so glad that we bought the tickets and semi-forced ourselves to step our of our comfort zone.

Let’s be honest though, everything about being a parent has pushed me outside of my comfort zone.

If you’re debating taking a trip with your baby, I’d like to encourage you to do it! And to (perhaps) make your life a bit easier, I’d also like to pass on some little nuggets of wisdom:

  • It might be easiest to travel before your baby is mobile – your baby will be much less likely to be annoyed by being restrained in a seat when they can’t actually move around by his/herself. I don’t know this from personal experience, but I’ve heard this from lots of other moms and our pediatrician. We’re planning a few trips with Clara before she reaches crawling age, and I’m hoping they all go as well as the first one did!
  • Flying Southwest may be the cheaper option. OK, this is totally my bias, but originally I purchased our plane tickets on United and then switched to Southwest because of their free checked baggage policy. I wanted to bring my breast pump and Clara’s pack ‘n’ play and about 20 outfits and her cloth diapers… this child doesn’t travel light! Anyway, we only had to check 2 bags, but we were able to do it for free!
  • Your baby could get their own seat for free. Ask if there are open seats when you get to the gate instead of buying a seat for your baby ahead fo time. We were fully prepared to fly the entire 4.5 hours with Clara on our laps, but we were pleasantly surprised when the agents at the gate told us there were empty seats on the plane so Clara could sit in her own spot!
  • So, bring your carrier/car seat to the gate in case your baby can sit in their own seat. We brought our stroller (the carrier snaps into it) to the gate. You’re able to gate check the stroller and the carrier/car seat (at no additional charge), so if there are no extra seats on the plane you’ll be able to check the carrier right before you board the plane and pick it back up in the jet bridge right when you exit the plane upon your arrival to your destination. BUT, if there are extra seats, bring that car seat/carrier right on the plane, strap it in, and let your baby sleep the flight away in peace!
  • You won’t need the car seat base on the plane, but that can also be gate checked if you want to pack it for your vacation. (We brought ours because we knew we would be driving a lot in Oregon.)
  • Having your baby suck on something during the descent can keep their ears from popping. Our pediatrician told us that babies at this age (a few months old) usually aren’t affected by the change in pressure, but we still brought a pacifier (and my boobs) just in case. Clara was sleeping when we were landing so we didn’t wake her up and her ears are fine.
  • You can carry breastmilk (in any amount) on the plane. I’ve heard some stories about the TSA making moms’ lives difficult because of breastmilk, but we didn’t run into any problems. I brought a few bottles and they didn’t even need to be tested because there was less than 3 oz of breastmilk in each bottle. I just declared the milk and the agents looked at it and off we went! I didn’t use any of the milk in the airport or on the plane (I just breastfed) but I wanted to have a few ounces of milk just in case Clara decided she was starving while we were in the security line. 

I realize this list makes traveling with a little one sound fairly complicated… and to be honest, it kind of is! Tim and I used to fly through the airport (no pun intended) with two carry-on bags and not a care in the world! This trip involved a little more planning.

The good news is, traveling with Clara really was easier than I had anticipated, and the next trip will be even easier because we’ll know what the expect. 

Clara didn’t cry on the plane or in the airport; she slept through almost every adventure in Oregon (typical); we had a great time with our friends and didn’t need to adjust our plans at all; we ate out for (practically) every meal – which Clara also slept through; and our little portable girl continued to be portable in a different state! The only thing that was a bit complicated was that Clara got on a western time zone schedule (whoops!) and came back deciding her new ‘bedtime’ was 2am. 

But more on sleeping stuff later – that’s a whole post in itself.

The point is, if you’re thinking of traveling with an infant – do it! And don’t be too nervous about it. But, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me – I would love to put your mind at ease.

 

I’m sure I left a lot of things off this list… Do any of you moms out there have additional tips for plane travel with an infant?

 

Cheers!
