TRAVEL TIP:
Carry our baby in a holder (like an Ergo, or Baby Bjorn). Strapping him in will make it easy on you to go through security and on the plane, etc.
Keep in mind though, some airports may make you take the baby out of the carrier to go through the ex-ray machine, but others will let you just walk through.
TRAVEL TIP: Flying with Baby
The Bottom Line to flying with baby is this: Try not to stress too much - if you stress and worry, the baby will sense this, and often follow suit.

TRAVEL TIP: Flying with Baby
TRAVEL TIP:
Oh, those sensitive little ears! An infant is unable to "pop" his ears to equilize in an airplane. Small children can learn, or can have a piece of gum to help them open those passages.
However, the itsy bitsy ones will need this trick:
Have a bottle or feed ready to go when the plane begins to taxi. You want your baby to be sucking when the plane takes off - that will help her ears adjust to the altitude; a pacifier will also help if you use one.
FOLLOW-UP TIP:
Make sure you do not feed the baby too early. Be sure you are really about to take off. It can be unnerving to have baby finish the bottle before you actually lift off.

MONEY MONEY MONEY- Always Sunny
Need to convert cash while on the go? Many international ATMs take Visa or MC (France, Italy, Australia, etc.) so you can get cash no problem. They may charge you for the conversion, of course, but its competitive to bank exchange charges.
Make sure you call your CC co. before you leave to inform them so they don’t put a STOP PAYMENT on your card (may companies do this for your protection).
Also- if your going to try memorizing the local language…make sure you know the words for “help” or police” or “Speak English.”

I'm a first time Mum with an eight week old baby girl. Next week we're
planning on making our first proper trip and I'd love some advice on
how to make it go smoothly. We are flying up to Toronto to visit her
grandparents and I'm pretty nervous about the trip. Any top tips on
how to negotiate airports and planes with a baby would be very
gratefully received.
