We will be flying with my son who is 9 months old in a couple of weeks. He flew once before when he was 5 months old without problem. But now, he is SO active, and does not take a bottle during the day. Does anyone have any pointers on how to have a smooth flight? Thankfully we do have a layover so each flight is only 1 hour 15 minutes.

Make sure you bring snacks and toys to keep him occupied. I took my daughter on a plane around 10 months and she did pretty good. Good luck.

I have been traveling with my so since he was an infant, now at 5 he is the best child on the plane.

1) bring a portable dvd player.
2) change diaper before you get on the plane
3) don't board plane early. You will be sitting to long
4) make sure you have milk for baby as well as any other meals you need.
5) stroller for layover walks
6) lots of hand sanitizer. Sanitize anything he can reach.
