Emily and I took our first flight recently and I thought I’d share a few tips in case you are traveling with an infant soon (or ever!).
I took David, my oldest, on his first flight when he was only a few months old and then took a handful of flights with both boys as well. I’d say we are pretty seasoned travelers, and a lot of those flights were just myself and the kids because Justin used to travel a lot for his previous job.
Traveling with just Emily recently went very smoothly and was honestly a lot easier than traveling with toddlers or pre-school kids to be honest!

I put her in the Happy Baby Carrier for ease while going through security and while we were on the airplane. In my daily life I use both this carrier and a soft, fabric wrap but I chose the Carrier because it was a lot faster to take on and off, and I could easily unclip her while we were taking off and landing as she apparently cannot be in the wrap during those times according to flight attendants. This carrier was comfortable and super easy to wear once I figured it out. Each carrier or wrap has different features and I was glad that I was told about this video so I could make sure I was wearing the carrier correctly. Once I had Emily in it properly, it was very comfortable and easy. She slept the entire time and I didn’t have to make a single adjustment!

My parents have a car seat and stroller since we visit so frequently, but if for any reason I needed to travel with either...
