Travelling with an infant: what should I know or be aware of?
In about a week, i will be taking a domestic trip, including a 4 hour flight with a stopover, with my four month old son and wife to San Francisco for 5 days. I will be staying at an airport hotel and renting a car.
My son will be riding in my or my wife's lap during the flight. We are bringing along his car seat to use in the rental car and checking his stroller to use during the trip. We plan on bringing enough instant formula bottles to feed him at the airports and on the planes and will stop to get more when we arrive. I have been told that feeding him or giving him a pacifier during takeoff/landing will help him remain calm during the flights.
I am trying to save money on baggage fees, so my plan is to have my wife will check the main suitcase filled with her and our son's stuff and I will bring a medium sized backpack filled with my clothes as a carry on. This means that we will be checking the stroller and the suitcase, but carrying on her purse, my backpack, and a diaper bag.
This is the first major trip like this that I will be taking with our new son, so I am trying to cover all the bases. The last thing that I want is for the baby to start being really fussy and crying the entire time, so i want to make him as comfortable as possible to minimize that. Is there anything else that I am missing or should be aware of when travelling with an infant like this?
