Flying with Infants: What to Pack and How to Prepare
Traveling with an infant can be stressful, but with the right preparation and mindset, it can also be a memorable and enjoyable experience. In this article, we'll cover what to pack and how to prepare for flying with an infant.
Packing Smart
Packing for an infant requires careful consideration of what you'll need on the flight and during your trip. Many airlines allow you to bring an additional diaper bag with you onto the plane, in addition to your standard carry-on allowance, when flying with a toddler, but be sure to check the exact regulations for your airline to know what is allowed. Here are some essentials to pack:
Diapers and wipes: Pack more than you think you'll need, as unexpected delays can occur.
Changing pad: A portable changing pad can be a lifesaver, as not all restrooms have a changing table.
Extra clothes: Pack at least one extra outfit for your baby and a spare shirt for yourself in case of spills or diaper blowouts.
Blankets: Bring a lightweight blanket or two for warmth, as airplane temperatures can be unpredictable.
Formula or breast milk: If you're formula feeding, bring enough pre-measured formula for the flight. If you're breastfeeding, remember that you are allowed to bring breast milk through security in amounts greater than 3.4 ounces / 100 ml.
Bottles and nipples: Bring enough bottles and nipples for the flight, plus an extra in case of unexpected delays.
Pacifiers: If your baby uses a pacifier, bring a few extras in case they get lost.
Toys and books: Pack a few age-appropriate toys and books to keep your baby entertained.
Prepare for Security
Going through airport security with an infant can be intimidating, but there are a few things you can do to make the process smoother:
If you're carrying breast milk, notify the TSA agent and remove it from your bag for screening.
Be prepared to remove your baby from their carrier or sling for a quick body scan. Your baby's stroller may need to be x-rayed if bringing it with you to the gate.
Other Tips for Flying with a Toddler
Try to book a flight during your baby's nap time or bedtime to increase the chances of them sleeping during the flight.
Consider bringing a small travel bassinet or inflatable pillow to help your baby sleep more comfortably.
Flying with an infant requires a bit of extra preparation, but with the right mindset and a few essentials, it can be a fun and rewarding experience. Remember to pack smart, prepare for security, and get organized, and you'll be well on your way to a successful flight with your little one.
