Knackering though I bet, taking care of a toddler and a baby on a flight... Very impressive :)<br /><br />Many people commented here that they have breasfed during takeoff and landing so it obviously can be done then :) Maybe I am just awkward but it just didn't seem feasible to me. My lil one was a difficult eater so I tried to avoid it on planes if I could anyway. <br /><br />Thanks for these tips, they are a great addition to this post :)Sanna Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362746150369804815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7501844275414856197.post-47137706717328293452015-06-19T00:01:01.917+01:002015-06-19T00:01:01.917+01:00You've had quite a lot of experience too!

I definitely agree that a carrier is the way to go for babies. As for travelling with a toddler and a baby, I found having the baby in the carrier and the toddler in a fully collapsable pushchair worked really well.<br />Breastfeeding during start and landing worked fine. The baby has to be on your lap with his own seatbelt on (attached to yours) but you can turn him to feed him. It really helps the baby deal with the air pressure. I have flown with Ryanair, Lufthansa, Air France and Aer Lingus. All of them allowed me feed during start and landing.<br />At least once I was asked to taste the baby food that I was bringing on board. <br />For any first time flyers your tips are great.<br />#brilliantblogposts<br />Fionnuala from www.threesonslater.blogspot.comFionnualahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03504461649253641010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7501844275414856197.post-88886071422195486182015-06-18T13:11:00.698+01:002015-06-18T13:11:00.698+01:00Perfect tips for flying with a baby.

You can fit loads of kids films in it, and some entertainment for parents too in the off chance that the little monkeys nod off :) and it just mesmerises every child so you can have a relatively relaxed flight. <br /><br />Baby carriers are fab too, don't know how you would do it without one, makes everything so much easier!

It does make it easier if you are able to breastfeed, as then there is that element of bringing the bottles and formula removed. I took formula on flight just in case I wasn't able to breastfeed (at the time I was finding it quite difficult) but luckily didn't need to bother with it in the end.
